The Kremlin reveals Putin's hobbies and the types of animals he keeps
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov revealed today, Tuesday, that Russian President Vladimir Putin watches German television to preserve his knowledge of the German language.
In an interview with the newspaper "Ergomene i Facti", Peskov said, "Putin watches German TV channels as well as English-language TV channels as well, and this is a short but regular lesson."
Peskov added that "Putin is also a newspaper reader. Reading is his main hobby, especially reading historical literature and notes."
Putin had lived for many years in Dresden, eastern Germany, as a KGB officer, and there he refined his German language.
On the other hand, Peskov said: "Of course there are also pets in President Putin's life." But he said that these animals do not appear in public, unlike Kony, who died long ago. The reason I don't want to say anything about her. "
In response to a question about whether these animals were dogs or cats, Peskov said: "I have never seen cats with the president, yes dogs, but I have not seen cats."
Peskov explained that Putin's relationship with former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is stronger than his relationship with any other politician in power, as well as with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, "and Putin had friendly meetings with them in various forms."
