Igor Sechin was born on 7 September 1960 in St Petersburg, Putin’s hometown. His family of metal factory workers encouraged Igor and his twin sister’s education.
Sechin started to learn French at a local school. In 1984, he graduated as a Portuguese and French language teacher from the Leningrad State University, where he met the children of the Soviet elite.
His former classmates describe him as reliable and patriotic, although some say he was a tattle-tale.
In the 1980s, Igor Sechin worked in Mozambique and Angola, officially as an interpreter with Soviet trade and diplomatic missions.
Some consider this to have been the beginning of his career at the KGB. He was alleged “the USSR’s point man for weapons smuggling to Latin America and the Middle East.” Igor Sechin has served with alleged international arms dealer Viktor Bout in Mozambique in the 1980s.
