Putin comments on a situation with a student who corrected a phrase he said.. I am happy with that

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he did not pay attention to the situation with the schoolboy who corrected a phrase he (Putin) said while talking about history.

"I didn't even pay attention to this," Putin said at the World Economic Forum.

Why should this offend me?

This can only make me happy: young people know very well the history of the homeland,” according to the Russia Today website.

On September 1, Nikanor Tolstick, a student from Vorkuta, Komi Republic, responded to a statement made by the Russian president in an open lesson as part of the Knowledge Society Marathon at the Ocean Children's Center in Vladivostok.

While discussing the country's history, Putin called the war with Sweden under Peter I the Seven Years' War.

The boy, representing the movement of the Russian disciples in Komi, corrected him, saying that it was here the Northern War of 1700-1721.

The Russian president thanked the boy for his corrective remark.
