According to journalists, no trip to the President of Russia is without "nuclear suitcase". As a rule, she is worn by a maritime officer. On Wednesday, October 18, the rare staff of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in Beijing was shown, accompanied by officers who carry the so -called "nuclear suitcase", which can be used to order a nuclear strike, Reuters reports.

After meeting with China President, Xi Jinping in Beijing, he was filmed for video when he went to another meeting in the security guard, followed by two Russian naval officers in a uniform, each of whom carried a portfolio. The Russian "nuclear suitcase" is traditionally worn by a maritime officer. The portfolio, known as "Cheget" (named in honor of Mount Cheget in the Caucasian Mountains - Ed. ) Is always with the President, but is rarely filmed in video.

The US President also has such a device - the so -called "Nuclear Football". The portfolio contains codes that the President could use to confirm the order to launch nuclear missiles if he or she were not in the White House. On October 17, Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing to participate in the third international forum "One Belt, One Way", where he will promote the idea of ​​the so -called "Great Eurasia".
