Most of his time heads of state is carried out in their residences: they are welcome guests, conduct various meetings. Buildings differ in the level of luxury and many of them have a rich history.

President of Russia remains one of the last rulers of the world, whose residence is located in a medieval fortress. However, the rest of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation - the modern buildings of the European species. Blog photo Interpreter collected 28 residences of heads of state the First and Second World.

Officially, the Russian president only 4 residences: in the Kremlin, in Novo-Ogaryovo (on the ruble), "Valdai" in the Novgorod region and "Bocharov Ruchey" in Sochi. However, for the manager of the listed 8 more presidential sites.

In 2010, it was reported that the Office of the President is going to build on the peninsula Gamow in the Khasan district of Primorye Territory residence for the first persons of the country. Later we are talking about some "Putin's Palace" in Praskoveevka on the Black Sea coast. However, officially the objects (one for another paper, another unfinished) business manager on the balance not taken, so information on them will be considered as speculation.

The biggest area at the presidential residence in the "Valdai" - 930 hectares. In addition to the residential building there is a church, a swimming pool, two restaurants, a cinema, bowling alley.

Especially loved by Russian President Vladimir Putin (and before him, and the presidents Yeltsin and Medvedev) summer residence "Bocharov Stream". In it, he conducts both formal meetings and relaxing vacation. But when the president's sport began skiing, Medvedev and Putin began to attend "Bocharov Stream", and in winter - from here they fly by helicopter to the track in the "Krasnaya Polyana».

The residence has 2 floors. The interior of the first floor has not changed since the days of Stalin - here, for example, placed a massive oak furniture and hunting trophies. On the same floor the maid lives and protecting the president. The second floor is more modern: with Italian furniture and light-colored wallpaper. On it is a living room, study, bedroom, guest apartment.

On the estate there are a few buildings: hut for the head of the presidential administration and a cottage for the Prime Minister. There are also a helipad, two swimming pools (with sea water and fresh water), playground, an indoor tennis court.

and the beach is a pier for boats presidential "Caucasus».

Precinct double fence - the first reinforced concrete, height of about 2 to 5 meters, the second - from the mesh netting. From the sea, the estate is guarded by the Black Sea Fleet ships.

The residence is designed garden with myrtle and peach. However, as they say, the former president and now Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, he prefers to work in a glass greenhouse, planted with kiwi and lemons.

The most expensive building in the informal list of residences is the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna near St. Petersburg (land area - 140 hectares).

Its reconstruction has cost about 200 million. Dollars, but the money was not spent from the budget - on the estate to lose a few Russian commodity companies. Formally, the palace is only "an office of the president" (as well as in the Library. Yeltsin in St. Petersburg).

However, as the head of the state rests on the estate, and hold official meetings. In 2010, the palace was purchased paintings purchased at auction for 20 million. Dollars.

Much less visited by other presidential sites. For example, in the Karelian "Shuya Chupa" (in the late 90s its construction cost 50 million. Dollars, the area of the estate - 50 ha), Boris Yeltsin was repeatedly Vladimir Putin - once, Dmitry Medvedev - is not one.

Most unpopular was Dmitry Medvedev objects such as "Volzhsky Cliff" on the banks of the Kuibyshev reservoir, "Tantalus" on the banks of the Volga River, 40 km from Saratov, "Angara Farm" in 47 km from Irkutsk, "Small source" in Yekaterinburg in the forest on the shore of Little Istokskogo pond, "Pine" in the Krasnoyarsk region. The peak of their use has fallen to the presidency of Boris Yeltsin. For example, in "Volzhsky Bluff" the first president loved to fish - he often boasted that fished there for 20 kg of trout.

In 2010, for the president it was rebuilt residence in Yekaterinburg (the palace area of 10 thousand sq. M).

Not too popular and "Russia" in the Tver region, located on the territory of the hunting farm "Zavidovo". In fact, this is the main hunting ground for all of the Presidents of Russia. The guard of the estate in an interview described the life here policymakers:

"Yeltsin to Putin's dacha more frequently visited. Man, he's old, you need a vacation. For half a dozen times, Putin visited. At first, he did not come. And then like it was the fly - it always arrives in a helicopter. Once all came on 15 minutes changed a bit with a dog and walked again to fall. And we for his arrival two months preparing: the grass trimmed, no paper or a leaf - and so in the 15, 5 hectares.

Gated 600-700.

Yeltsin, when he was president, loved to listen to the soldiers sing. In the attic will come, sit down, the combat orders and the company walks, singing songs until Yeltsin again to the attic will not go ».

Who is considered the main presidential residence Novo-Ogaryovo - is home to Vladimir Putin.

The Novo-Ogaryovo have a building for official meetings, a guest house with a cinema, gym, swimming pool. Putin travels to the residence at the wheel of the jeep. On the estate there is a greenhouse, poultry house, swimming pool, church. Rumor has it that Putin himself takes care of rare breeds of chickens (Rhode Island, Cochin China and Brahma - a total of more than 30 pieces). But Putin feels especially proud of the large stable (it housed about 10 horses).

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev lives in "Gorki-9" together with his wife, Svetlana, son Ilya, Dorotheos cat and dogs - two English setters and Daniel Joly, golden retriever Alda and Central Asian Shepherd. Also, my mother lives here, Dmitry Medvedev. Earlier this object is also considered presidential residence, but now his status - the premier facility.

The area of this residence of 80 hectares. On the interior of the house is little known. It passes only information that the interiors here did the famous Italian designer Roberto Provazi, whose clients at different times were Madonna, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone. Items for the office environment personally chose Svetlana Medvedev. Even if Medvedev in the "Gorki-9" appeared chapel service it is a personal confessor family Medvedyevs Vladimir Volgin.

This confessor is to say specifically that a better understanding of the inner world of Dmitry Medvedev. Vladimir Volgin - 63 years since the beginning of the 1970s, he served as an altar boy at the liberal priest Alexander Men. Volgin had a reputation for himself, too liberal. However, in the late 1980s, he suddenly goes into the camp of conservatives, and even rebuke me for excessive democracy.

In the early 1990s Volgin gets a temple on the Sofia embankment - is now next to him is the head office of "Rosneft". Also, when the temple is the largest church in Moscow-jewelry company "Sofia embankment." Apprentice Volgin was a bohemian priest Ivan Okhlobystin, he also served as his mentor in the church (I wonder what makes Ohlobystin same somersault as Volgin - from the liberal camp moved to conservatism)

Blog Interpreter collected 28 photos of the residences of heads of state the First and Second World. Some of them are modest, and some very majestic (as the President of India), some are made in the traditional style (as the president of South Korea or France), but the majority - in the classic European. There is a residence located in a medieval castle - in the Kremlin. It is time to give in Russia this majestic complex under tourist and recreational purposes, and the president to begin to live and work (most of the time he is doing now) only in the Novo-Ogaryovo.
