PUTIN AND THE PATRIOTS In June 2005, New England Patriots owner and businessman Robert Kraft was in a business meeting with American executives and Russia n president Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia . At one point during the meeting, Putin asked to see Kraft's 2005 Super Bowl ring. Encouraged by Citigroup Chairman Sanford Weill , Kraft removed the ring and handed it to Putin, who looked at it briefly, then pocketed it and left the room. Later, Kraft claimed the ring was a gift. Dmitry Peskov, a senior Russian official, later reported to The Associated Press that the ring had been put in the Kremlin library along with other foreign gifts. EXTERNAL LINKS |
