In 2017, Putin accepted the invitation to visit a military stationed near St. Petersburg, in fact, this time the Russian military in addition to showing good military discipline, but also to introduce a new sniper rifle to the president.
Interestingly, just when Putin watched the soldiers shoot targets and did not wait for the entourage to introduce them, he asked for the guns in the hands of the soldiers with self-care, and said that instead of listening to the introduction, it was better to try a few shots himself, seeing that the president was going to shoot the target himself, and the faces of the entourage officials also showed an embarrassed look.
It turns out that although Putin is from the KGB and has a certain grasp of gun knowledge, you know, since becoming mayor in the 90s, Putin can be said to have not touched a long gun for decades, not to mention, it is such a new weapon that he has never seen.
If the results of the target shooting are not good, it will undoubtedly affect the image of the president, so when Putin tightens his gun, the hearts of all officials also mention the throat eye.
However, it turned out that everyone present was worried, in a total of five live-fire shots, Putin said that the first two shots were off target, but in the next shooting, the president had two shots that accurately hit the chest of the humanoid target paper, and even one shot directly hit the eyebrow.
You know, Putin is conducting 600-meter target training this time, and he is also the first time to get started with the new sniper rifle, in other words, even compared to professional snipers, the president's achievements are not much.
Up to this point, the accompanying officials, including the soldiers at the scene, can be said to have been completely "beaten", and looking at the target paper that was shot through by the bullet and still has residual temperature, a question has also surged into their minds, how many "housekeeping skills" did their president still have not appeared?
Today, let's talk about how big Putin's skill package is. And in addition to the real kung fu of shooting such a hard bridge hard horse, will he have any "literary drama"?
Judo has always been a skill that Putin is proud of. In recent years, I believe that Putin wearing a neat Taoist uniform, practicing with people in sports venues, and wrestling his opponents on horseback has been seen a lot, but in fact, Putin's love for judo is not from the beginning, in a sense, he is also a "halfway out" judo player.
In the late 1980s, Putin, who was serving in the KGB, also lost his job due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. For Putin, the collapse of the once-powerful alliance also meant a collapse of faith, and when Russia first became independent, the economic environment was very bad, so he even planned to drive a taxi to make a living.
However, at this time, Sobchak, Putin's mentor during his university years, found him and asked the disciple by name to be his secretary, and later, Putin became the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, assisting Sobchak in governing the city, and it was at this time that the teacher opened the door to the judo field for Putin.
Putin later recalled that his mentor was an avid judo enthusiast who would pull himself to the nearest stadium to practice after work, and that was when he was there
I started to get in touch with this sport. The president also said that although he was young and strong at that time, he was much worse than Sobchak in skills and experience, so no matter how hard he tried, he was easily put down by his mentor.
In this way, Putin, who did not accept defeat, decided to "master" judo, and because of this, although Sobchak died of a sudden heart attack in 2000, as Putin, who had been "led into the door", he still insisted on this sport. Since then, he has continued to improve his skills, and even obtained the "Black Belt Eight Duan", which symbolizes a very high level.
You know, this title is an honor that many judo masters can only get in their lifetimes, and at the same time, he is also the recipient of the black belt nine dan in taekwondo. You know, although these two sports have a certain relationship with fighting, they are essentially different in terms of skill, so Putin can integrate the two sports in the case of halfway out of the house, and both have won a black belt that symbolizes a very high level. In a way, putin's talent for fighting is outstanding.
But just when the Russian people were impressed by the president's "martial arts", Putin rose up in Versailles, saying that he was not a "martial arts wizard" at all, and the reason why he had such a short start to taekwondo and judo was entirely because he was an avid wrestling enthusiast when he was young.
When it comes to wrestling, we have to mention Zollotov, known as the king of Russian bodyguards, this official and Putin knew each other in their youth, when they often practiced wrestling outside of work, but because there was no protection measures and the venue was not professional, it was often the case that the two were thrown blue and purple, but it was under such conditions that they all practiced a body of iron bones.
Because of this, Putin did not forget to brag when facing the media interview, saying that his judo and taekwondo skills may still be insufficient, but in the field of wrestling, he is a "practicing family" of the Eight Classics, even if the young man comes, he can only be pressed to the ground.
So, in addition to being proficient in martial arts, what level does Putin have in other sports fields?
In 2013, Putin had his rare vacation, but just when the Russian people thought the president would have a good night's sleep at home, he got up early in the morning and ran to a lake in the wilderness of Moscow to fish, and after harvesting a bucket full of fish, he took off his shirt and jumped into the lake to start swimming.
For Putin, the rare vacation is also unavoidable, so in the lake, he not only showed superb butterfly swimming skills, but even played diving. But what the president does not know is that his behavior has long been photographed by the accompanying officials and put on the Internet, but for the Russian people, this swimming can be said to be putin's first swimming skills in public, so the people have also begun to discuss, what is the president's technology?
Soon, some Russian swimmers came up with an answer, and after an in-depth analysis of the details of their posture, they concluded that the president's participation in the Olympics may be a little worse, but if he is compared to professional athletes, his skills are medium to high.
In fact, compared with the "vuko" such as shooting, fighting, and swimming, Putin's "literary drama" is not only not backward, but also more prominent. As we all know, Putin studied economics in college, and later, he got a doctorate in economics by his own efforts, and perhaps it is for this reason that Putin can seize the opportunity in the struggle against the oligarchs and eventually bring the Russian economy on the right track.
Talking about this, some friends may have questions, as a national leader, which one is not a bully who has flourished in the university? After all, only the wisest and most mature people can lead a country, so in addition to the doctorate in economics, does Putin have any "liberal arts" skills?
In 2019, Putin held a talk with the Swedish prime minister about economic cooperation between the two countries, but just as the talks were halfway through, he suddenly stopped the other side's simultaneous translation. It turned out that the on-site translation may be the reason for not doing enough homework, mistranslating the word Putin said "friend" into "partner", you know, although the two words are similar in general, but there is a far difference in relationship.
At that time, Russia and Sweden were very economically very close to each other, so it was obvious that friends were closer than partners. But just after Putin caught the other side's translation of the language error, the Russian people found another skill pack of Putin.
Prior to this, Putin was fluent in German because he had worked in East Germany, and he had learned English to facilitate negotiations with American representatives. These are all things that Russians have long seen, but this time, the president has coldly grasped the language loopholes in Swedish translation, which fully shows that Putin has already mastered this relatively niche language at this time.
Because of this, the Russian people began to sigh, how many skills does the president have!
I have to say that in the decades of Putin's administration, although he has shown many times about the artistic skills of playing the piano and reciting poetry, as the saying goes, "there is no first martial arts and no second", so there is not much outside comment on his artistic level. However, for other fields, whether it is military talents such as flying airplanes and shooting targets, or sports such as judo and swimming, or doctorate in economics and mastering multiple languages, Putin's achievements are solid certifications, so it can be seen that Putin is absolutely proficient in these fields, even if not top-notch, and from the president's behavior of exposing a skill from time to time, he may have mastered far more than we talk about.
