PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, May 4. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin answered whether he considers himself a lucky man with a joke about changing jobs.

On the set of a Russia-1 TV documentary, Putin was reminded of his first television interview in 1991, when he was working at the St. Petersburg Mayor's Office.

"And now I give interviews in the Kremlin," Putin said.

In 1991, the future president said he was "lucky in principle," noting that he did not have to complain about fate.
