VLADIMIR PUTIN & His Father : Picture
Vladimir Putin has rarely spoken in emotional or effusive terms about his personal relationships, including with his father, Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin (a WWII veteran, factory worker, and survivor of severe wounds). He tends to be reserved about private family matters.
However, in his 2000 book *First Person* (based on interviews), his official Kremlin biography, a 2010 interview, and a 2015 column he wrote, Putin has shared respectful, admiring reflections on his father’s character, wartime heroism, resilience, and the family’s endurance through hardship.
He portrays a positive view rooted in respect, trust in his father’s stories, and pride in his ordinary working-class roots.
On his family background and roots:
“I come from an ordinary family, and this is how I lived for a long time, nearly my whole life. I lived as an average, normal person and I have always maintained that connection.”
He also recounted his parents’ early life factually and with a note of pride in their pre-war achievements:
“My father was born in St Petersburg in 1911. ... It was in Pominovo that my father met my mother, and they got married at the age of 17.”
“Before the war [World War II], my parents occupied half of the house in Peterhof and were very proud of the living standards they had achieved then. It wasn’t really much, but it seemed like an ultimate dream to them.”
On his father’s character and wartime stories Putin described : “My father was a silent man.”
He then recounted in detail the heroic sabotage mission his father survived (one of only four out of 28 men), including hiding in a swamp and breathing through a reed while German dogs passed overhead. Putin presented it as a story his father personally told him
In a 2010 interview (while Prime Minister) about his parents’ war experiences:
“My father had told me that he was with a partisan unit in the beginning of the war, but I later found out that in reality he was with a sabotage group. When I was President, I requested documents from the archives. My father was no longer alive then, had already passed away.
"Amazingly, the documents tallied with everything he had told me, right down to the tiniest detail.”
Putin noted that his parents avoided discussing the war much because it was painful (they had lost an older son during the Siege of Leningrad)
On his parents’ resilience and lack of hatred, In a May 2015 column Putin wrote for 'Russian Pioneer' magazine:
“There wasn’t a family who didn’t lose someone [during the war]. But there was no hatred toward the enemy, and that’s what was amazing.”
He recalled his father living with lifelong shrapnel fragments in his leg from wounds sustained in combat. The column frames his parents’ generation (including his father) with admiration for their endurance, lack of bitterness, and humanity despite immense suffering.
Putin has consistently described his father as a tough, hardworking, ordinary Soviet citizen and war hero whose experiences shaped the family’s modest, resilient life in a communal apartment in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).
He has voiced respect, trust, admiration for his father’s strength and honesty, and a positive connection to his family heritage.
Putin, born to a Hero & dedicated his life to be as strong and as patriotic to Russia as his father !

“¡BASTA DE LOCURA!
Rusia acaba de lanzar uno de los mayores ataques aéreos de la guerra: cientos de drones y misiles arrasaron ciudades y centrales eléctricas ucranianas.
Se acabó la tregua.
Esto ya no es una guerra. Es destrucción total.
Zelensky se ha convertido en un verdugo a sueldo, sacrificando a su propio pueblo para robarles sus tierras y riquezas. Sigue lanzando ataques terroristas, obligando a Rusia a responder.
Esta locura debe terminar.
Ucranianos y rusos somos hermanos cristianos. ¡Basta de matanza!”
Europa y la OTAN en medio de todo.
❗️The Russian army liberated the church in Krasny Liman.🇷🇺💯
Units of the 67th Division of the "West" group of forces advanced in this part of the city and captured five enemy strongholds.
The Ministry of Defense clarified that Russian troops also cleared 31 buildings, including the Church of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God.
Slawa Ukraini - Es ist der ukrainische Gruß mit dem Stepan Bandera die ukrainische Sowjetrepublik voller Stolz "Judenfrei" an Adolf Hitler übergeben hat
Jeder der diesen Gruß verwendet ist ein bekennender Nazi !!!

Quiero recordar que los auténticos héroes de la URSS durante la segunda guerra mundial, en su mayoría eran campesinos u obreros o hijos de ellos, es un detalle que nunca debemos olvidar.
