Investigation reveals Putin's KGB spy role was exaggerated.

TL;DR Summary
A new report by Der Spiegel suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin was likely never the elite Soviet spy that the world has been led to believe. According to the report, the majority of Putin's work was actually limited to "banal" administrative tasks. Putin worked for the KGB, the Soviet Union's intelligence service, for nearly two decades. He moved to Dresden, in East Germany, in 1985. Just four years later, the Berlin Wall fell, marking the beginning of the end of the Cold War and taking a big step towards the reunification of Germany in 1990.
