Ben Carson Tells Bizarre Lie About 16-Year-Old Putin

On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson made this claim on CNN: "In the class of 1968 at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, Mahmoud Abbas was one of the members of that class, and so was Ali Khamenei. And that's where they first established relationships with the young Vladimir Putin." He's told the same story two other times. PolitiFact examines the facts and rates it a total falsehood for multiple reasons. One of the biggest: "In 1968, Putin would have been 16 years old. ... Putin grew up in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). That is a 9-to-10-hour car ride from Moscow and Patrice Lumumba University. ... The idea that the three men developed lifelong ties as students in the late-1960s-era Soviet Union is ridiculous. Pants on Fire!"

The site states, "This is one of the more bizarre claims we've heard so far in the 2016 presidential campaign, and that's saying something. "Abbas may have attended the university, though we don't know for sure, or when. No credible evidence has yet surfaced to place Khamenei as a student in the Soviet Union -- ever, much less in close proximity to Abbas, or in 1968. And Putin would have been a teenager in 1968, attending school 450 miles away."
