Russian President Putin , who launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, became uncommunicative at the age of 11. His teacher Vera Gurevich noticed the changes and tried to help him. However, others considered Putin “mean and disorganized.”

The teacher’s memories of Putin can be found in his biographical book “From the First Person”, reports the  Mirror .

Vera Gurevich was Putin’s teacher, and when he was a teenager, she noticed that he “went down the wrong path.” At the age of 11, he became uncommunicative. In his book, Putin also admitted that as a child he was a “hooligan” and behaved strangely.

In an interview published in Putin’s biography, his teacher said that in the sixth grade he “set a goal for himself.” Gurevich saw potential in him, but not everyone shared this sympathy. Another teacher considered Putin “mean and disorganized.”

In the book, Putin also wrote that he liked the school as long as he managed to be “the unspoken leader.” The teacher noticed that the future president of the aggressor country got in touch with a bad company and “staggered” through the streets, after which she tried to correct him. She showered him with attention.

Then Putin began to play sports. He avoided other students and did not like to go to dances, as he did not like to socialize with his peers. Putin devoted a lot of time to judo and wanted to prove himself in sports, set goals for himself, he wrote in his book.

In 2000, when Putin’s teacher gave an interview, she stated that she considered him a “good man.” “But he never forgives people who betray him or mistreat him,” Gurevich said.

Earlier, UNIAN has already reported that  Putin is not informed about the disgrace of the Russian army in Ukraine.
