Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday revealed that he dreamed of becoming a pilot in his childhood and later an intelligence officer.
During an annual televised Direct Line question-and-answer session with Russian citizens, the 71-year-old president said that apart from his "main dream" of becoming an intelligence officer, he wanted to become a pilot, state-owned TASS news agency quoted him as saying.
"I talked about it. Each person at different stages of their life has a different attitude to the values that surround them. I wanted to be a pilot. But the main [dream], already in high school, I wanted to be an intelligence officer, and, as you know, I became one," Putin said.
