Some time ago Abramovich declared in an interview that since he’s making so much for the russian economy he would expect the president Puting to give him a MiG 29 as present.. and I think he wasn’t joking..
Anyway, was Vladimir Putin a former military pilot or not?

Cheers

I believe Vladimir Putin started his government career with the KGB’s first directorate, an office in charge of foreign and political information gathering. He later became the agency’s director before finally moving into the upper echelon’s of the USSR’s ruling government. He was one of Boris Yeltsin’s protege before he gained access to his current post in 2000.
