Putin, Can I get something from you? PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Factory worker at a Russian ammunition depot in the city of Tuli asked PM Vladimir Putin if he could receive something from which he'd remember him by. 

-Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin, perhaps I could get something from you, to remember you by, asked the worker.

The Russian PM at first moved his hands showing he had nothing to give him and then asked the worker whether there was anything specific he had in mind?

-Maybe your watch, - was the reply from the worker, named Viktor Zagaevski.

After a short brake, Putin took off his Swiss made watch "Blancpain" evaluated at 6,400 EUR ($9,500) and gave it to the worker. Viktor Zagaevski would have had to work 16 months to purchase a Blancpain watch.

Russian journalists asked the worker whether it was awkward to ask Putin such question.

- No, why would I feel awkward, there is a good chance this is the first and last time I will see Mr. Putin, said Viktor Zagaevski adding that he first wanted to ask for a pen.

Putin is widely known for his love for Swiss watches. Recently he was seen wearing a 60,000 EUR ($86,000) Patek Philippe.
