Want to Read $ 9.99"У 1976 в газеті "Вечірній Ленінград" з'явилася стаття про досі невідомого дзюдоїста, що переміг у змаганнях і здобув звання чемпіона. "Люди ще почують про нього в майбутньому", передбачало видання. Тим дзюдоїстом був Владімір Путін, якому минуло тоді 23 роки. Згодом він почав службу в КГБ, яке постало його шпигувати до Східної Німеччини. У 1990 році, після краху НДР, він поспіхом спалив у печі таємні документи КГБ і виїхав додому з цінним сувеніром - пральною машиною на даху свого автомобіля."-Daniel Yergin, The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations
