Russian President Vladimir Putin considers this man a 'god'

For a long time, only people very close to Putin could see this grand hideout, but now in this video that has become public, he himself is seen showing his apartment to a reporter. We can see from the video that this apartment is at least a royal palace. Exotic chandeliers hanging on ceilings high, doors and walls adorned with gold, white grand piano. There is no corner that does not represent luxury. This is the same venue where Putin insists that he sits and works late in the night.

Photo of the 'Tsar of Peace' in the room

The most fascinating object in this apartment is a giant photograph of Russian Emperor Alexander III, which sits close to Putin's desk. Alexander III has the nickname in history of "The Peacemaker" since Russia did not engage in any significant wars throughout his reign. This photograph is being viewed at a time when Putin's regime has been linked with war and military interventions. Particularly the Ukraine war where thousands of soldiers have lost their lives till date. This paradox has attracted the world's attention.

Have lunch with Jinping in this room

In the video, Putin informs the reporter that in this room he shared a 'working lunch' with Chinese President Xi Jinping in March 2023. He explained that the talk was not an official one, but a chat between two "friends". Talking about the white grand piano in the room, Putin explained that he does not play it very often.

Glimpses of royal opulence amid war

This luxurious window has appeared at a time when Putin's troops are experiencing war in Ukraine. The UK Ministry of Defence reports that almost 250,000 Russian troops have died since February 2022. The exposé has once more highlighted the disparity between Putin's life of luxury and the harsh reality on the front lines for common soldiers.
