You Won't Believe These Leaked Photos of Putin Caught Wearing Sweatpants and Playing Ping Pong in the 1990s

Leaked home video from the 1990s offers a rare glimpse of Vladimir Putin's casual side during a secret Finland vacation with Anatoly Sobchak. The future Russian president is shown fishing, playing ping pong, and dining in a sleeveless shirt and sweatpants - a stark contrast to his normally buttoned-up image. This candid footage provides a fascinating look at Putin's early years before rising to power. This is what Putin was like before he got rich: a bad windbreaker, a bad hairstyle, a bad sleeveless shirt, doing everyday things," said Luke Harding, a Russia expert and former Moscow correspondent for the British newspaper The Guardian. The video was shot in Finland during May Day, according to Yle's information, in the early 1990s.
