Putin will spend a birthday in the taiga

Russian President Vladimir Putin took a day off on his birthday on October 7 and will spend it in the Siberian taiga. This was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports .

According to Peskov, Putin will fly to Siberia on Monday and spend his 62nd birthday 300-400 kilometers from the nearest settlement. Answering the question of what the president will deal with in the taiga, the press secretary said: "Rest." Who will accompany Putin does not know Peskov.

When asked why Putin first decided to take a day off on his birthday, Peskov said: “Still not a dogma, everything is evolving. It’s just a joke rather. He decided this year to spend his birthday this year.” Peskov recalled that this year the president had "not just stressful, but an extremely stressful" schedule.

In the summer of 2013, Peskov said that on vacation in Tyu , Putin caught a pike weighing 21 kilograms . The news caused a violent reaction in the blogosphere. Andrei Malgin wrote in his LiveJournal that Putin poses in the photographs allegedly taken during fishing in Tyva at the end of July 2013 at the end of July 2013 as in 2007. The trip itself was not listed in the president’s schedule on the official website, and journalists of the Kremlin pool were not invited on this trip.

Bloggers also noted that the pike, with which Putin posed in the photographs, could not weigh 21 kilograms. Experienced amateur fishermen, including former Deputy Prime Minister Alfred Koch and journalist Maxim Kononenko, evaluated the weight of a pike of 9-10 kilograms by eye. The latter also suggested that the Bezmen, on which the pike was weighed, had the price of division not in kilograms, but in pounds. In this case, the pike could weigh 21 pounds or about 9.5 kilograms.

In September 2012, on the way to the APEC summit , Putin took a flight on a motorbod with a flock of Strekhs as part of an environmental project to save a rare species of birds. At the Kushevat ornithological station near Salekhard, Putin took three flights. When he first flew up on a deltaplane, only one Sting was attached behind him. During the second flight, five birds were attached to the Deltaplane’s tail, but after a few circles there were only two siblings. The results of the third flight were not reported. “Relief is present from the fact that everything succeeded,” said Putin. “Beautiful guys were approaching the wing on the right, on the left, and a pleasant feeling.”

Peskov in an interview with the Rain television channel criticized the ironic reaction of the Internet community to flying with sters. "The reaction of a part of the Internet environment is really amazing. It is felt that many have not yet moved away from vacation moods, have not plunged into the news, do not want to perceive the news, and a certain vacuum is created, during which you want to really plunge into some allusions, sometimes bordering the insanity, I must admit," Peskov said.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the Sterhs, who made a training flight behind the Deltaplan of Putin, never returned to the wild.
