Merkel sends Putin German beer

World beer enthusiasts appreciate German varieties, and Russian President Vladimir Putin is no exception. Chancellor Angela Merkel even sends him several bottles of the beer produced by Saxonia, which the information made known to the head of the Russian state itself.

“Her from time to time, Angela sends me several bottles of beer Radeberger”, said the Russian leader in the documentary film “Putin”, prepared by channel V GTRK, where it also referred to the prominent German Chancellor.

When he was a KGB agent, Putin visited one of the best brewers in the town of Radeberg and his family during his years of stay in East Germany, where he had settled in the 1980s.

But German beer is evidently not the only one the Russian leader prefers. Putin also had a beer with then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev while visiting Moscow's popular square quite Zihiguli.

Even after a good beer sip at the end of a long day, to lead Russia is not an easy task, said former German scientist Gerhard Schroeder, who was also part of the film, broadcast Klan Kosova.
