Russian President Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin is coming on a two-day visit to India today i.e. on 4th December. The security arrangements are completely tight regarding the visit of the Russian President to India. Do you know that you are among the few leaders in the world who do not use smartphones? Putin himself has shared information about this. Also, officials close to him have given the main reason behind this.
Big reason revealed
In an event organized in 2018, Mikhail Kovalchuk, head of the Kurchatov Nuclear Research Institute, had mentioned that nowadays everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. On this the Russian President had said that you told that everyone has a smartphone, but I do not have one. After this, in an interview with a Russian news channel, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that as far as I know, President Putin does not have a phone.
Risk of privacy breach
He further explained the reason behind this. He further said that the use of smartphones can put one’s privacy and security at risk, which is not safe for such a high profile leader. However, many people believe that apart from this, there could be many other reasons for Putin not using his phone.
Mobile phones are banned in the Kremlin
Let us tell you that President Putin once told the Russian news agency TASS that the use of mobile phones within the Kremlin is completely banned. For your information, let us tell you that the Kremlin is the residence of Russian President Putin and the main center of government. He said that he does not use a smartphone. If they have to communicate with anyone, they use the official phone line.
don’t even use internet
Apart from this, Putin has also admitted many times that he is not so good in modern technology. He has also raised questions many times regarding the content available online. While talking to school children in 2017, he also said that they hardly use the internet. Not only this, he also criticized the Internet and called it a special project of the American agency CIA.
Don’t trust mobile devices
The Russian President has said many times before that he does not use a mobile phone because he does not trust this device and he does not trust any device that can connect to the Internet. Not only this, they do not like to have phones and internet connected devices with them. If President Putin travels to another country, his security team takes full care of these things.
