Putin says he spends nights at Kremlin, gives rare look inside residence

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has spent most nights over the past three years at his working residence inside the Kremlin. The remarks were made in a documentary titled Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 Years, excerpts of which were shared by journalist Pavel Zarubin on Telegram.

In the video, Putin shows the film crew around parts of his Kremlin apartment, including a library, two bedrooms, and a private chapel. The interior features white walls, mirrors, a portrait of Emperor Alexander III, and a white piano, which the president said he plays occasionally.

“For the past three years — mostly here,” Putin said when asked where he typically stays overnight.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier announced the upcoming documentary, describing it as a project about Putin’s 25 years in power. He encouraged the public to watch it, calling its creators “talented people.”
