Meeting Putin for the first time
There are many rumors and fabrications about how I met Putin. It is generally believed that we met in 1996, when Putin was the deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau. In fact, I met Putin two years ago.
I had never seen Putin before the autumn of 1994. But I heard that sobchak has a reliable deputy who is always late. I remember talking to chernomyrdin and sobchak once, and chernomyrdin suddenly got angry. He said to sobchak: "Why are there no rules in doria and Smolny College (the seat of St. Petersburg municipal government-editor's note)? I called some people to have a meeting there, and I asked,' What is the total foreign trade this year?' Answer:' I don't know. Then who knows? Answer:' First Deputy Mayor Putin knows. "Where is he now?" Don't worry, he will be delayed for a while, but he will definitely come. Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone rushed in ... How did you disrespect the Prime Minister? ! But sobchak said, "Sorry, you are wrong. Indeed, Putin is not punctual. But this man is very reliable. You know how difficult it is to find a truly loyal person now. "I remember this plot.
Putin saved me by shooting a wild boar.
On a sunny morning, we set off for a hunting ground about 80 kilometers away from the city. Some St. Petersburg officials accompanied him, not many people. We are all wearing camouflage uniforms and holding shotguns. At this time, I noticed a person, camouflage suit fits well, a pair of military demeanor. He held the shotgun with great confidence and held it tightly, just like hugging a beloved woman.
I asked the porter, "Who is this man?" "He is the first vice chairman of the municipal government. His surname is Putin and his name is Vladimir." "Ah, yes, someone told me about him."
That day, we decided to shoot wild boar. But how can we combine this activity with formal talks and discussions on pressing domestic issues? Everyone finally decided to set tables and chairs on the lawn, prepare food, and go hunting in the forest directly after lunch.
After about an hour, we began to eat dessert. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A monster appeared from the bushes. It stood there, rolling its eyes and pulling the fallen leaves with its hooves. Frankly speaking, the sudden appearance of wild boar made us panic. At that time, I was so excited when I was talking that my glasses fell to the ground, so 10 people with me all went under the table to look for glasses. The situation is critical! At this time, I looked sideways. Putin didn't get under the table. There was no place under it. I don't know when he has stood by with a shotgun. Finally heard two shots. Later, I learned that my adjutant Kuznetsov was also filming with Putin. But the final examination showed that it was the "Putin who was always late" who hit the wild boar in the heart.
The appearance of wild boar was due to the negligence of the hunting ground personnel and made a mistake when chasing wild boar.
Frankly speaking, we drank a lot for Putin that day. My first impression is accurate: this is a tough, uncompromising and quick-thinking person. We parted very amicably. Later, I recalled the autumn, the smell of moldy leaves, the thrilling moment and the scene of being saved countless times. Every time I think of Putin, I think, "Moscow needs such people." As expected, fate finally brought Putin to the capital.
I want to resign.
After a long and even painful deliberation, I announced my resignation decision on the last day of the coming century.
On February 22nd, 65438, I called Putin to my office: "Vladimir vladimirovich, do you remember that when I appointed you as the acting prime minister of the government, I said that you were a promising prime minister? Now I think it's time for you to take over. " Putin has a slight smile on his lips, which he often does when he is excited. After a short silence, Putin said, "Boris nikolayevich, I don't fully understand what you mean."
I said, "I want to resign."
All kinds of complicated expressions suddenly appeared on Putin's face, which was usually very serious. Obviously, he wants to know if I'm testing him: "Boris nikolayevich, have you decided?"
I said, "I want to make this decision with you." He said: "I think your resignation will be a great loss to the country. If the presidential election is held in advance, I am not ready to bear such a big responsibility. " To be honest, I was annoyed because I was expecting another answer-a more positive and honest answer. "All right, Vladimir Fraki milovic, you go." I waved.
Putin said: I want to take over.
For the next few days, I kept thinking: was my decision to resign correct? Should Putin be Prime Minister for a few more months?
12 On February 27th, I recorded a TV New Year speech. Voloshin (Chief of the President's Office-Editor's Note) tried several times to talk to me about Putin and the previous discussion about my resignation, but I interrupted the topic because I decided to suspend my resignation. There has been a disturbing pause in the Kremlin.
In the morning, I called Putin again. He said, "Boris nikolayevich, I made a mistake last time. In fact, I can take over, also want to take over ... "
"That's great." (expressing surprise, shock, etc.)
The truth that Putin realized after being beaten.
When Putin was beaten for the first time, he realized a truth that would be useful for life. I have to say that it is an important harvest. Putin recalled at the time: I felt very wronged at that time. The boy who hit me looks like a pencil necked. However, I soon understood that he was older than me. Much stronger than me. For me, this is an important lesson I learned from street school. I learned a lot from this incident.
I have drawn four conclusions from this lesson:
<1> First of all, I made a mistake. At that time, the child just said a word to me. I rudely pushed him away. It can suffocate people. Actually, it doesn't make sense for me to treat others like this. Therefore, I got the punishment I deserved.
< 2 > if I stand in front of a big man. Maybe I won't be so rude to him. Because the child looks skinny, I think I can run wild with him. But after I suffered. I realized that I couldn't do this to anyone. Respect everyone. This is a good example.
I see, in any case, whether I am right or not. As long as we can fight back. They should all be strong. But that kid didn't give me any hope of fighting back at all. There is no hope at all.
〈4〉 I should always be prepared to be bullied. You should fight back immediately. Instantly!

Generally speaking, he realized a truth: if you want to be a winner, then you must grit your teeth and stick to it in any blow!
In addition, Putin also realized that he could not easily get involved in the conflict unless he had to. But if anything happens, we should assume no way back. We must fight to the end. It can be said that this recognized principle was taught to him by the KGB afterwards. But as early as childhood, Putin has been familiar with this in his many fights.
Since then, in the work of the KGB, Putin has mastered another rule, that is, don't take up arms unless you are prepared to use force. You shouldn't threaten others at will. Only when you decide to shoot, you have to take out your pistol. This is what the future president will do when he needs to clarify his relationship with his friends in the street when he is a child. Once you make up your mind to fight this war. Then you have to stick it out. In other words, as our People's Liberation Army said: Win without fighting!
