Ah...it says here, that Putin ran the east German Stasi during the 1980s. ...interesting reading.

Who is Vladimir Putin?
Center for Security Policy ^ | September 6, 1999 | J. Michael Waller

"Russia's new government leader represents some of the worst elements of the old KGB, Kremlin observers say. His main assignment abroad was a post as KGB commissioner in Dresden, East Germany, where he oversaw the city division of the Stasi secret police in the dark years of the 1980s. So notorious was the Stasi that Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal once termed it 'worse than the Gestapo.'"

Yes indeed, Vladimir Putin worked in East Germany with the Stasi during the Cold War. This evil gang of communist murderers even gave the Chekist Putin a medal for his exeplary service.
