The war between Russia and Ukraine continues. A conflict initiated by Vladimir Putin as a “special military operation” that has lasted for more than a week and extends throughout the Ukrainian country.
Vladimir Putin has been in power for more than 20 years. The current Russian president has taken the reins of his country in an iron way after gaining the presidency of the Federation on an interim basis in 2000. Since then he has been re-elected four times as president and also served as prime minister between 2008 and 2012.
Before his political journey, Putin was in the Soviet espionage agency, the KGB. In 1975 he joined the Foreign Intelligence Directorate of the State Security Committee (KGB) in the USSR and remained for 16 years as a spy for the organization.
Why doesn’t Putin move his right arm when he walks?
A study published in British Medical Journal and picked up by The Guardian in 2015, links the Russian president’s “gun spree” to his time in the Soviet security agency. The study notes that Putin had shown “clearly reduced right arm swing,” possibly related to the weapons training he received when he was part of the KGB.
“According to this manual, KGB agents were instructed to hold the weapon in their right hand close to their chest and to come forward with one side, usually the left one, presumably allowing subjects to draw the gun as quickly as possible“, Bastiaan Bloem said on NBCone of the scientists who published the study at the time, who found said manual when they tried to “seek explanations” for Putin’s walk.
The scientists also detected the same step in some of Putin’s former ministers and confidants, so they thought about the likely option of a common behavior pattern.
