The Russian president has no intention of engaging online beyond official communications, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
Russian President Vladimir Putin has no plans to run personal social media accounts, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS on Monday.
The president is "present on social media" through official Kremlin channels, but does not intend to engage personally because, "as he has said many times, it's not his thing," Peskov explained.
The spokesman previously noted that Kremlin staff keep Putin updated on trending online topics, while his family and acquaintances occasionally share information with him as well.
In 2017, Putin said that his schedule left no time for browsing the internet. He added that whatever downtime he had was better spent on fitness and other activities that helped him decompress.
"I organize my schedule in a way that allocates time for creative development, like listening to music, sports or talking with friends," he said. "If you don't find time for that, you won't find time for anything.
Putin is also known for his aversion to mobile phones - something his supporters consider an important security asset. Documents leaked in 2015 by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the United States tapped the phones of foreign leaders, including close allies such as then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
