During the period, I was also arranged by my boss to accept a secret transnational task. At that time, the Soviet Union was engaged in a cold war with the United States. His boss gave Putin the task of finding a few foreigners and making them work for the Soviet Union willingly through temptation and blackmail. To put it bluntly, it is to let Putin find a few better foreigners, turn them into his own, and then willingly become a Soviet spy.
Putin accepted the task immediately without thinking, and he decided to dress up as a sports worker. In this way, Putin set off wearing a leather coat and holding a sports statue symbolizing his status. Fortunately, the statue is small and can be carried with one hand. If it is bigger, he will have to carry it on his back. When he walks into the street, people may regard him as a stevedore.
In this way, Putin casually took to the streets and contacted many foreign college students who came to the Soviet Union to study and exchange in the name of recruiting athletes on the streets. For these foreign college students, people like Putin are really ordinary. They are not tall, strong, handsome and have no characteristics at all.
In fact, the reason why these foreign college students can have such an impression is mainly Putin's deliberate actions. As an excellent intelligence officer, you must have two characteristics: first, you can get the most valuable news in the shortest time; The second thing is to make the other person forget your appearance quickly.
In this way, Putin brought some foreigners to the KGB. Ironically, these foreigners don't know him, even though they are in the same office as Putin. In this way, Putin has accumulated a lot of experience in this field in his long work and has truly become an "expert dealing with people."
Because of Putin's excellent work ability, he was quickly promoted to the position of Deputy Director of the Second Intelligence Bureau of KGB and was awarded the rank of Colonel. However, the temple of the Second Intelligence Agency is too small for Putin, an ambitious Russian wolf.
A year later, Putin was sent to Hongqi College in Moscow for training, which was a turning point in his political career.
Let's give you some knowledge about popular science. Does an extraordinary agent like 007, which we often see on TV, exist in real life?
In fact, most countries in the world have their own special agent training institutions, especially developed countries like the United States and Germany, which pay more attention to this aspect. They have special schools and textbooks. With the continuous improvement of these institutions, many countries have the idea that agents can be trained and anyone can be trained to be a real senior agent. Gee, this school really fascinates us ordinary people. After all, who doesn't want to be an agent of the eighteen martial arts?
Similarly, the Red Flag Academy in Moscow is such an agent training institution.
Since it is a secret training institution, of course, you can't use your real name. At that time, Putin changed his name to Platov and studied a series of courses related to German economy, political parties and institutions. In fact, from the moment Putin majored in German in this college, he knew that he would be sent to the Federal Republic of Germany or the Democratic Republic of Germany after graduation.
Sure enough, Putin was sent to Dresden after graduation, and in this way, he began his spy career in Germany for six years. Putin was sent when his second daughter was born and his eldest daughter was less than three years old. He had to work hard to earn money for the children's milk powder.
At that time, Putin and his family Qiao Zhuang became immigrants and settled in Germany. For security reasons, he didn't tell his family about this secret mission, even when he left Germany later, his family didn't know.
Many people are clamoring all day to go abroad and live in developed countries. Do you think you can live in these countries if you want to? When Putin first arrived in Germany, he was shocked by the sky-high price in Germany. In the Soviet Union, he can buy a bag of noodles, but in Germany, he can only eat one meal. With German money, he can buy a new suit in the Soviet Union.
Gee, it seems that the foreign life that everyone yearns for is not so good.
Soon, Putin spent all the money he brought back from the Soviet Union. In desperation, he had to take his wife who had just sat in the moon to find a job. Since he came to Germany, his wife has sewed all the clothes for the whole family. He hasn't worn a new dress for six years. The money earned from odd jobs during this period is used for children's education and various daily necessities.
In this way, Putin played the role of an ordinary office worker during the day. In the evening, he secretly collects information by various means, hangs out with his wife and daughter on weekends, drinks a glass of German beer in a pub when he is in a good mood, chats with local people, and complains that the price in Germany is expensive.
In order not to worry his family, during his six years in Germany, he never revealed anything about his work to his wife and daughter. Even when he later became president, he never talked about work at home. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the president of Russia, but in the eyes of his family, Putin is an ordinary husband, father and son.
This is Putin's principle that work is work and family is family, and the two must not be mixed together.
Therefore, no matter how much you suffer in the company, how many bosses scold you, or what kind of pressure you are under, don't vent at home. After all, whose efforts are not for the better life of your family, as a man, most of the time, we have to resist this pressure, not so much worrying about our family as putting it in our hearts.
Putin works and lives in Germany and is in danger of being shot by the German government at any time. What is the pressure on us?
1990, the Berlin wall in Germany and Cuba was demolished, and the two countries, which had been divided by the United States and the Soviet Union for a long time, finally achieved reunification. Unification means the failure of the Soviet Union, and Putin's six-year work has been in vain. No way, when he left, he burned all the documents and left Germany with his wife.
Putin, who returned to the Soviet Union, continued to engage in espionage, because Putin, who had been in the stage of intelligence investigation for a long time, rarely came into contact with some highly dangerous tasks of stealing intelligence or even assassinating leaders of other countries. So this day is too dull.
Until something happened in his life.
In a spy job, the 14 spy sent by the Soviet Union was discovered by the enemy. In this case, decisive measures should be taken immediately, because once the treatment is unreasonable, this 14 person may not come back alive. However, the leader who should have borne the responsibility for the failure of this mission pushed the responsibility to his subordinate Putin.
Originally, Putin could ignore this kind of thing, but after all, it was 14 lives, so he had no choice but to deal with it himself. What we need to know is that in this case, if Putin rescues this 14 person, there are only two endings:
Either the operation failed, and he died with this 14 people. His family lost the only pillar in the family and could only get a little government pension.
Either the action is successful, then the responsibility that the boss shirked to him will be implemented, and he will also be expelled from the KGB and may even go to jail.
Finally, with his excellent judgment, Putin brought the 14 people back to the Soviet Union before other countries took action. And this matter, Putin never mentioned with others, until a later press conference, under the questioning of western journalists, he said it.
Putin once said in an interview that he had never killed anyone in his more than ten years as a spy. For him, no action is as precious as a person's life, and no career is comparable to a person's life.
This is Putin's awe of life.
As a man who has been engaged in espionage for more than ten years, he has never killed anyone, never been drunk, never been to any entertainment place except for work needs, and even got a haircut according to the boss's requirements. Even if this is done, the boss's evaluation of Putin's resume is only a pass. Now, it seems that this agent is not so easy, not only facing the danger of losing his life at any time, but sometimes even if his life is hanging by a thread, he can't fall in front of the boss.
Self-discipline is the most important thing brought to Putin by more than ten years of espionage. Self-discipline is the prerequisite to determine whether a person can succeed.
But in our daily life, everyone knows that self-discipline is very important, but only a few people can do it. For example, you planned to read more books during the annual leave and go to the bookstore to buy books, but once you have a holiday, you just can't get up in the morning and want to go out with friends at night. Finally, you picked up the book and were attracted by the gossip in your mobile phone. After several hours, the book didn't move at all.
For example, you spend a lot of money to sign up for a fitness class and plan to go to the gym for half an hour before going home from work every day. But when it comes to implementation, most people don't go to the gym on the grounds that they are tired from work, have something to do after work and often work overtime. Over time, they forgot that they had signed up for the fitness class.
In other words, most people want to become excellent through self-discipline, but they always give up halfway for various reasons.
In fact, it is very simple to be a self-disciplined person. First of all, when planning, don't expect too much of yourself. It doesn't matter if you start with a small thing and give up halfway. Reward yourself for doing well, and don't blame yourself for not doing well. When you form a habit, you will find that you can stick to it effortlessly.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/990, Putin and his family returned to Leningrad, because the Soviet Union was in a state of disintegration, the national economy was in a state of great collapse, farmers could not grow crops, workers were laid off because they had no jobs, and even the high-risk industry of espionage was in a state of "unemployment". Even later, the Soviet government could not even pay the basic salary. Putin didn't get paid for three months in a row, and at the end of the third month, there was no money at home.
Fortunately, he bought a house three years ago, and even if he had no money, the housing problem was temporarily solved. As we all know, the Soviet Union disintegrated in February 199 1, only one year after Putin lived in Leningrad. So, as a spy of the former Soviet Union, what is he doing in the face of the disintegration of the country he once served? Will Putin's spy career end here?
Tomorrow, we will tell you how Putin stepped into politics after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
