Putins wife is 100 x's the woman/person that hillary is -
Lyudmila’s parents brought her up strictly; she did chores and obeyed rules. Lyudmila ironed and starched the collar of her school uniform. She was an excellent knitter and was fond of needlework. Another of her hobbies was acting.
Lyudmila Shkrebneva met Vladimir Putin on the steps of a theater box office. The future first lady was with a friend who had arranged to meet her boyfriend, who in turn had invited Vladimir to come along. They all went to a concert by Arkady Raikin at the Lensovet Theater.
Soon after first meeting Vladimir Putin, Lyudmila moved to Leningrad and enrolled in university preparatory courses. While in her third year at university, she married Vladimir Putin, who was then employed in the intelligence service. The wedding took place aboard a pleasure boat on the Neva River on July 28, 1983.
In 1986, Lyudmila Putin graduated from the philology department of Leningrad State University, defending her thesis “The Participle in the Modern Spanish Language” and fluently speaking Spanish and French. Later, while living with her husband in Germany, she independently learned German.
For two years Lyudmila Putin taught German at Leningrad State University language courses. She took the initiative to set up the Center for the Development of the Russian Language and is a winner of the Jacob Grimm Prize “For a Special Contribution to the Popularization of the German Language” (October 2002).
She is also a prizewinner of the International Association for the Advancement of “Rukhaniyat” Spirituality (Kyrgyzstan). The award was given to her in December 2002 for contributing to the development of Kyrgyz-Russian cultural and humanitarian cooperation. In October 2005, Lyudmila Putin was made an honorary professor at Gumilev Eurasian University (Astana) and presented with the “Golden Warrior” medal.
Lyudmila Putin is interested in the theater and music and likes Russian love songs. She also goes in for tennis and downhill skiing.
Close friends call her a good housekeeper and a person of firm character. Her husband’s fast moving career did not take her aback because she had always believed in such a turn of events. Therefore, she feels admiration rather than pride.
In Lyudmila Putin’s opinion, the first thing the wife of a head of state should think of is “not harming the president’s activities.”
Asked if it is difficult to be the wife of a president, Lyudmila Putin gave a negative answer and added, “The main thing is to remain oneself.”
