Some say that without Putin, there would be no Russia today; It is also said that Putin is a great man, but he has also made strategic mistakes.
In Russia, a widely circulated evaluation is: Putin is a master of hunting, all prey can not escape his eyes, as for when to start, it depends on his mood, all the rhythm is in his hands.
Whatever the assessment, there is no doubt that Putin is very important to Russia. He has been at the helm of Russia for more than 20 years, and if he wants to, he can stay until 2036.
Because of his strong personality and not being afraid of those very arrogant European and American countries, Putin has won the support of many people.
But say it, you may not believe it, this domineering Russian ** was actually a nasty "thorn" when he was young.
So, how did he go from a "thorny" youth to a famous KGB**?
In fact, Putin's success has a lot to do with his early experience.
Putin's family was not very good when he was a child, his father was a soldier, and after being discharged from the army, he was assigned to work in a factory, and his mother was also an ordinary worker.
Putin had two older brothers, but unfortunately one died in infancy and the other died in battle, so he became the only son of his parents and loved him very much.
Also because of the pampering of his parents, Putin was very naughty when he went to school and liked to fight. With this, there is no need to think about it, his academic performance is very average, and naturally the teacher does not like it very much.
But just because the grades are not good doesn't mean that the person is not good in other aspects. Sometimes God closes a door for you, maybe he wants to open another window for you.
Putin is like that.
At the age of 16, he had the idea of entering the KGB, hoping that he would become a ** in the future.
The KGB is the Russian abbreviation for the "** Committee" of the former Soviet Union, which was founded in 1954. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the KGB evolved into the Russian Federal Security Service, and was known as the world's four largest intelligence organizations, along with the UK's MI5, the US CIA, and Israel's Mossad.
It can be seen that Putin still has a dream.
However, the KGB's selection criteria were very strict, and after carefully studying the selection rules, he found that the KGB would not want him to be so stunned at all.
But he didn't give up easily. Later, he found out that if he wanted to enter the KGB, he had to study law first, which gave him motivation and goals.
After that, he worked hard to be admitted to the law faculty of Leningrad University, and after studying hard, he finally entered the KGB as he wished after graduation and became a **.
After becoming a **, he worked as an espionage for eight years, and then was sent abroad for another six years.
After returning to China, due to the unstable situation in the Soviet Union, he did not have a better work arrangement, so he chose to return to his alma mater as an assistant to the principal.
Soon, his teacher became the mayor of St. Petersburg, and Putin also worked his way up to become deputy mayor, mainly responsible for the economic side. This job gave him experience and laid a good foundation for his later life.
In 1996, his teacher failed to be re-elected, and at that time he could choose to remain deputy mayor or even run for mayor, but he did not want to betray his teacher, so he also chose to leave.
Just when many people thought that he would be lonely, they didn't expect this decision to make him meet the noble man in his life - Yeltsin. It's really "Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing." ”
At that time, after Putin left St. Petersburg, he went to Moscow, and one of his countrymen happened to be Yeltsin's ** chief of staff.
This fellow countryman felt that Putin was a talented person and that it would be too wasteful not to work for the country, so he introduced Putin to Yeltsin.
Soon, Putin began to serve as deputy head of the ** Affairs Administration and became a close confidant of Yeltsin.
Because of his ability to work and loyalty to the country, Yeltsin admired him and helped him a lot. And beside such a big man as Yeltsin, Putin is also full of gains.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the KGB was restructured into the Russian Federal Security Service. Given that Putin was once a brilliant ** in the KGB, Yeltsin made him chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
In 1999, many major events took place in the world, and for the Chinese people, the most memorable ones were the following: Macao's return to China, China's accession to the WTO, the US attack on the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, and the military parade marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But this year is even more historic for Putin. This year, he was promoted to Prime Minister of Russia.
Although many people were not very optimistic about him at that time, thinking that he would soon be **, soon Putin proved himself with his actions.
At that time, Russia could be regarded as having internal and external troubles, and the situation was very bad. After Putin took office, he sorted out his thoughts and soon had the idea of governing the country.
He first extinguished the arrogance of Chechnya, and then tried to revive the economy, so that the Russian people could see hope and use his strength to dispel the doubts of the outside world.
Outstanding ability also made him Yeltsin's ** person. In 2000, he became a Russian **. And Russia, under his leadership, has been tough for more than 20 years.
It can be seen that Putin's success is inseparable from his early experience, and it is the flexibility and career of his youth that laid a strong foundation for his later governance of the country.
