Vladimir #Putin plays grand piano at Chinese leader’s residence https://sptnkne.ws/ew4Z
The songs are from the late 1950s, when the 64-year-old Russian president was a child. During the time the Soviet Union was emerging from the shadow of Stalin.
A cameraman managed to capture the moment in a video and quickly circulated it on the Russian state news media.
A viral video shows the softer side of the authoritarian leader who has been in power since 1999.
