It's no secret that having a home is one of the basic needs of any person. The powers that be are no exception. But if ordinary people live in apartments, at best in houses or cottages, then the heads of state live in luxurious mansions and palaces that cost hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars.

You can cite at least Saddam Hussein as an example. The now deceased "great Saladin and the illustrious leader of Iraq" had several dozen palaces in different

corners of the country. These were luxurious buildings with beautiful interiors, often with intricate labyrinths, which included corridors, halls, rooms. His palaces were striking in the splendor of forms and interior decorations. One of them was built in his hometown of Tikrit. He ordered some of his villas to be surrounded by date gardens and artificial lakes. Some of them were destroyed in the war, some are now open to visitors as museums, others have been turned into high-class hotels.

Another Middle Eastern dictator, former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, left his heir with a huge palace,the total area of all buildings of which is approximately five hundred thousand square meters. This residence is not inferior in luxury to any of Saddam's villas. The current president uses his father's palace not only as a residence, but also as a place for diplomatic negotiations, meetings with journalists and so on.

As for the current head of the Russian Federation, we can say that he does not like to flaunt his love of chic and luxury. On the other hand, he does not live in a rented apartment at all. Almost every Putin's palace is hidden and, if possible, recorded on the balance sheets of his friends, relatives or state corporations. Total

there are, according to some sources, up to three dozen such residences throughout the Russian Federation. The Putin Palace, built near Gelendzhik on the site of a previously cut down relic forest, is a huge complex with Italian-style buildings and all sorts of amenities. About a billion dollars was spent on its construction. This palace of Putin has been built since 2006. The photo may give some idea of it. Many high-profile scandals are associated with him, many journalistic investigations have been devoted to him.

One of the four official residences of the Russian leader, in

which he lived with his family for a long time, is located in Novo-Ogaryovo. This palace of Putin was built at the end of the nineteenth century. In the fifties, the chairman of the Council of Ministers, Malenkov, lived here. Under Khrushchev it was used as a reception house forvarious delegations. After the collapse of the USSR, this residence was not used by anyone for ten whole years, and in 2001 the head of the Russian Federation settled here. In addition to a luxurious mansion, it has a swimming pool, a church, a poultry house, greenhouses and, of course, stables. The love of the head of the Russian Federation for horses and riding is widely known.

Putin's Sochi Palace "Bocharov Ruchey" is located in a forested valley. This residence was built back in 1934 by order of the military commissar Voroshilov. A little strange name - from the river, which once flowed nearby. This palace of Putin is now fenced with a high fence, hidden from the views and visits of strangers.
