Vladimir Putin during the communication with the young geographers checked their knowledge. One of the questions the President answered himself: “Border Russia never end.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “Russia’s borders never end.” He said this at the presentation of prizes of the Russian geographical society (RGS), reports TASS.

During the meeting the Russian President asked a few questions on the knowledge of the geography of the two boys — Timothy Tsoi and Miroslav, Askirka.

During intercourse Miroslav said that he knows “all the capital, all the outlines of the countries.” Then Putin asked him: “Where is the boundary for Russia?”. “The borders of Russia over the Bering Strait from the United States…” — began to answer Miroslav. However, the Russian President stopped him, saying that “the Russian border is nowhere over.”

“It’s a joke,” added the President.

Putin Also checked other knowledge of geography among boys. He asked Timothy to name the country whose capital is Ouagadougou. Timothy, in turn, said that it is “Burkina Faso”. The President proposed to remember the full former name of the country, to which the boy replied, “Upper Volta”. “Good,” — praised Putin.
