The president also recalled one event which makes him feel ashamed of himself, when replying to the final question during the program.
As Putin explained, during his visit to one of Russia's regions in early 2000s, a local woman passed him a note, even falling down on her knees when doing so.
And while the head of state promised to read the note in person, he passed it to his aides who subsequently lost the missive.
“I feel ashamed [of it] till this day”, Putin revealed, adding that he now reviews all such missives in person.
