  "11 лет занятий с Анатолием Соломоновичем помогли будущему политическому лидеру России стать мастером спорта сначала по самбо, а потом по дзюдо. Владимир Путин приглашал Анатолия Рахлина на значимые события своей жизни – от дней рождений до президентских инаугураций. Такие отношения можно без преувеличения назвать дружескими."
