At the presentation of state awards dedicated to Constitution Day and held in the Moscow Kremlin, Vladimir Putin confused the last and patronymic names of presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev and Soviet composer Alexandra Pakhmutova. The video from the presentation was broadcast by TASS. The Agency drew attention to Putin’s mistake.
Putin said that he awarded the woman the title of Hero of Labor and called her “Nikolaevich Patrushev.” “Of course, I can’t help but say about the people’s beloved Alexander Nikolaevich... Nikolaevna Patrusheva... uh, Pakhmutova,” he said.
