KING: Did you enjoy your career at the KGB?

PUTIN (through translator): Well, you know, it was an interesting job. It allowed largely to increase my vision, to get certain skills, skills of dealing with people, with information, which was referred to earlier. It taught me to choose what is the priority and what is less important. That was useful in this regard.

KING: Mr. President, I like to touch some other bases, we have a few minutes remaining. You are a Judo expert -- know more about you personally, do you know Judo?

PUTIN (through translator): While I am fond of that sport, I have been involved in martial arts since my childhood, but I am not an expert, I am an amateur.

KING: But you were on your team, weren't you? You performed martial arts, you were on your school squad?

PUTIN (through translator): Oh, yes I did. I mean, in St. Petersburg, Leningrad, as a kid, I was involved, I was member of the city team, and I got a black belt in the all-national competition and I was master of sports...

KING: Do you practice?

PUTIN (through translator): ... at the time.

KING: Do you still work out?

PUTIN (through translator): Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do it very frequently, but when I have time and space I take pleasure in doing it, yes.

CBS 60 minutes:

“There was a time when the regional governors were elected, correct?” asks Wallace.

“Absolutely right,” says Putin.

“And, all of a sudden, Putin says, ‘No, no, no. I shall appoint the governors.’ That’s democracy?” asks Wallace. “That’s not democracy, the way I understand it. Now maybe, I’m just dead wrong.”

“You’re absolutely wrong," says Putin, laughing. "And you know you are. For instance, India is called the largest world democracy. But their governors have always been appointed by the central government, and nobody disputes that India is a large democracy.”

“Why did you change from electing your governors to appointing your governors?” asks Wallace.

“The principle of appointing regional leaders is not a sign of a lack of democracy,” says Putin, who then criticized America’s Electoral College system.

“In the United States, you first elect the electors and then they vote for the presidential candidates. In Russia, the president is elected through the direct vote of the whole population -- that might be even more democratic,” says Putin. “And you have other problems in your elections. Four years ago, your presidential election was decided by the court. But we’re not going to poke our nose into your democratic system because that’s up to the American people.”
