According to a public document, Putin, who was in his 20s while working at the Leningrad KGB General In the Soviet Union, was in charge of organizational work and sports work, and Putin was a reliable, rigorous and disciplined worker. The appraisal letter emphasizes that Comrade Putin has continuously improved his ideological and political level, actively participated in the study of the party, and is a "young man with a firm stance, high morality, and well-deserved authority among colleagues", at that time, his pseudonym was Platov. In 1975, Putin graduated from the law department of Leningrad University and immediately joined the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency, and initially trained and worked in Leningrad until he was sent to Dresden, East Germany, in 1985, to officially become a spy, which is also the most widely known to the public as Putin's work during the Soviet period.
Putin, who worked as a spy in East Germany, did not have a life as intense as in the movie, his job was only to collect economic intelligence on West Germany at that time, there was no danger to his life, and his cover identity was the secret police of the East German Stasi (the East German state security agency). In addition, he occasionally acts as a plainclothes bodyguard and the like. It was not until after German reunification in 1990 that Putin was recalled to the Soviet Union.
After returning to China, Putin began to set foot in politics, first becoming the assistant foreign affairs assistant to the president of Leningrad University, and then serving as the chairman of the International Liaison Committee of the City of Leningrad, in charge of the foreign economic relations of the municipal government. This is the post of chairman of the International Liaison Committee, which is Putin's highest position in the Soviet era, and according to the level of the mainland, it should be regarded as a cadre at the level of the department.
However, in this chairmanship, Putin held the post for less than a year before the Soviet Union collapsed. In August 1991, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Putin resigned from the intelligence agency when the KGB planned to overthrow Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, officially ending his spy career.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Leningrad was renamed St. Petersburg, and Putin remained in politics to continue his work. In March 1994, Putin was promoted to first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg and chairman of the International Liaison Committee, and two years later he was promoted to Moscow as deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Administration.
Interestingly, in July 1998, Putin was appointed by Yeltsin as chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation (formerly the KGB), becoming the head of the former owner. At that time, he said passionately at the inauguration ceremony: "I am finally home." ”
Now that Putin has been president of Russia for four terms, if everyone is interested, you can predict how many more terms Putin will be.
