I could be wrong but that looks like a Nikon FG, came out in the early 1980′s so the time works out too. Could be a Nikon FM which came out the in 1970′s. I’m betting Nikon FG.

With the FG he would not need the light meter, unless trying to confuse the enemy. Besides, where a Russian tourist would have got a Nikon FG.

My bet is that it’s a Zenit, but it could be a Praktica, since Putin was stationed in Dresden in the eighties.
