Laid-Back Chat with Ol' Putin: He Loves His Self-Rising Bread and Sleeping in the Kremlin

Turns out, Vlad Prez aka Vladimir Putin, is quite the self-riser when it comes to mornings. In a friendly convo with journalist Pavel Zarubin, the Russian bigwig let slip that he rarely requires an alarm clock to jumpstart his day. But when times get truly desperate and something pressing demands his attention, he'll let his trusty aides give him a buzz before sunrise.

"Ya feel me, bro? I'm usually a wake-and-bake kind of guy," Putin said, mistaking our colloquial slang for basic communication. "But if the situation calls for it, I'll give my boys a ring before dawn."

This ain't the first time the man of the hour has stood at the podium of the famous Kremlin palace. In fact, he's been living there for the better part of three years, hosting high-profile meetings with international bigwigs such as China's Xi Jinping and the USA's Bill Clinton.

Truth be told, ol' Vlad's had a mandate to run the show since 1999/2000, with a brief to-do list detour from 2008 to 2012. Despite wearing several hats during this period, Putin couldn't seem to escape the Kremlin's orbit, as he was still heavily involved in Kremlin affairs.

The latest documentary film, "Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 Years," gives us a glimpse into Putin's dwelling in the Kremlin and explores his motives behind measures like the ongoing action in Ukraine. This intriguing flick drops just in time to mark the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

Catch the premiere for this film on the 4th of May when we'll get a deeper dive into Putin's experiences and decision-making during his first inauguration. It should be a gripping watch!

"Vladimir Putin, despite his laid-back mornings and love for self-rising bread, also prioritizes education and self-development, as evidenced by his continuous tenure as Russia's ruler for over two decades and the release of the documentary 'Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 Years.'"

"This documentary offers an insight into Putin's personal growth, demonstrated through his decisions, including the ongoing action in Ukraine, and his chosen lifestyle, including his long-term residency in the Kremlin."

Occasionally, he requests his aides to give him a heads-up prior to contact.
