Russia's President Vladimir Putin surprised the audience during a meeting with students at Moscow State University, as he began singing along to the tune of a Soviet song celebrating the USSR's achievements in space, RT reports.
“On dusty paths of faraway planets our footprints will remain,” Putin sang, when a student with a guitar apparently got too nervous performing for the president and stumbled with the lyrics.
The song, ‘14 Minutes Till the Launch’, was a hit in the 1960s, especially after Soviet cosmonaut Yury Gagarin became the first man to travel into space.
Putin was visiting the Moscow State University on Wednesday in honor of Students’ Day, widely celebrated in Russia on January 25.
