Peskov Reveals Putin's Main Hobby

The main hobby of Russian President Vladimir Putin is reading, stated his press secretary Dmitry Peskov in an interview with "Argumenty i Fakty." He mentioned that this mostly involves historical literature or memoirs.

According to Peskov, Putin subscribes to newspapers that are delivered both to the Kremlin and to Novo-Ogaryovo. Moreover, they are always available on the plane, so the president often browses through them when traveling somewhere.

He also receives press releases. Additionally, Putin watches both German and English-language TV channels. "Not every day, but certainly several times a week he studies English. These are short but regular lessons," Peskov said.
