Autobiography by Putin Ludmila. Wife of the President

The autobiography of Lyudmila Alexandrovna Putin does not shine with scandalous events, it is a story about the life of a simple woman from an ordinary family, who was destined to become the wife of the president of a great country.

Lyudmila Putina, nee Shkrebneva, is a native of the city of Kaliningrad. Born 06.01.1958 in the family of Alexander and Ekaterina Shkrebnev. They were ordinary working people, my father worked at a repair and mechanical plant, and my mother was the cashier of the convoy.

In 1975 Lyudmila became a graduate of the Kaliningrad secondary school N8, and then a student of the Kaliningrad Technical Institute as an engineer, but she took away the documents, having studied for only two years. Then followed the training on flight attendant courses in Minsk and 2 years of work as a flight attendant on domestic flights from Kaliningrad.

The autobiography of Putin by Lyudmila could have been quite different if in 1981 she had not received a ticket to Leningrad. It was there that she met her future husband - Vladimir Putin, who was then an employee of the Leningrad KGB department. It happened at the humorous concert of Arkady Raikin.

Lyudmila decided to stay in Leningrad and tried to enter a philologist at the Leningrad State University. Zhdanov. However, the attempt was unsuccessful, after which she studied at the preparatory department. As a result, in 1986, Lyudmila still graduated from the coveted university with a major in "a philological novelist", specializing in Spanish.

July 28, 1983 on board the Neva steamer, they played a wedding with Vladimir Putin. Their family life began in a communal apartment with their parents, and only in the summer of 1987 they received their new three-room apartment on Sredneohtinsky Avenue. Here they lived until 1992, when Lyudmila and Vladimir purchased a separate apartment on Vasilievsky Island and moved from their parents.

From 1990 to 1994, Lyudmila teaches German at the Leningrad State University. In the 90s, she also held the post of head of the boutique "Trussardi", owned by the creator of "Leningrad-IMPEX" Nikolai Khrameshkin.

Autobiography by Putin Ludmila contains information about an important turning point: in 1993, in her native Kaliningrad, she falls into a car accident. After receiving severe injuries, having transferred 2 operations and a long rehabilitation after them, Lyudmila turns to faith in God. Her confessor, nun Lyudmila, serves in the Snegogorsky monastery, which is located in the Pskov region.

In early 2001, Lyudmila founded the "Center for the Development of the Russian Language" in her native Kaliningrad. In 2002, she sharply criticized the reform of spelling, which promoted the Academy of Sciences.
