He was only 11 years old. But one answer from Vladimir Putin wasn't enough. 😳 On September 1, 2015, during a visit to the Sirius educational center in Sochi, an 11-year-old boy named Denis approached Putin with a question about Russia's falling currency. “Why is the dollar rising? Everything is getting more expensive!” Putin began explaining how the exchange rate affects the economy. But the boy wasn't finished. “Then why can't we stop it?” Putin continued explaining why artificially supporting the ruble could quickly drain Russia's financial reserves. What made this exchange memorable wasn't just the question. It was the boy's determination to understand the answer. Would you have asked the president another question at 11 years old? 👀 Follow @putin.moments for more unexpected real moments. #PutinMoments #VladimirPutin #UnexpectedMoments
