According to the website of the Russian Communist Youth League Truth Daily on July 19th, Russian President Putin revealed at the supervisory board meeting of the non-profit organization "Russia - State of Opportunity" that he had worked as a railway porter when he was young.
According to reports, Deputy Mayor of Nizhny Novgorod, Shtokman, shared his long career journey at the meeting, having worked as a truck driver in a bakery abroad. Putin commented, "I worked part-time while studying, moving bags of goods on the railway... To be honest, I don't really enjoy this job."
According to reports, Putin previously revealed that in the 1990s, he occasionally drove his private car to attract customers. In the late 1990s, he received an invitation from the Director of the Presidential Affairs Administration to work in the capital, and he could not refuse. However, he had to earn some extra money to support his family, leaving no other choice at the time.
