An East German Stasi secret police identity card belonging to Russian President Vladimir Putin when he was a Soviet spy has been found in police archives in the city of Dresden. The card was issued in 1985 when Putin was a mid-ranking Soviet spy stationed in Dresden in communist East Germany, which was then under Russian occupation.
