The German publication Bild reports that Vladimir Putin, the dictator of Russia, was born into an unhappy family created under duress, not out of love. His parents, Maria Ivanovna and Vladimir Spiridonovich, were forced to marry after a tragic event in 1928.
According to the journalists' investigation, Vladimir Putin forced Maria to marry him under the threat of court action in case of refusal. After this, the family moved to Leningrad. It is also noted that Putin has two sons with Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva and another daughter from a different former mistress.
“Maria in rare photographs that have survived is almost always turned to the side so that a part of her face with the damaged eye is not visible. This data contradicts the official stories that Putin himself told about his parents. He, in particular, publicly claimed that he 'never saw his father drunk and never heard a single rude word from him',” writes Bild.
According to the German publication Bild, it has been discovered that Vladimir Putin's origins were complex; the history of his parents indicates that his family was created under duress. Furthermore, some details from Putin's personal life have been revealed that contradict official narratives.
