Tatyana and Putin Publication date: January 25, 2005 In Ladimir, Putin had a hard time at Moscow State University, where, on the occasion of Tatyana’s Day, he tried mead together with Askar Akaev. It just so happened that literally on the eve of the student holiday, the topic of canceling military deferments, including student deferments, again became relevant. Of course, Putin was asked at Moscow State University about deferments.
