update on v. putin's mother

i need to appologize for an error in my yesterday's message. the mother of v. putin is living in miteki, georgia.

the official legend says that putin grow up as an orphan. the lady filmed by the italian journalist says, i am vera putin, my son volodia (diminituive of vladimir), was a blanket on the wrong side, my second man did not accept him, and vladimir was given in adoption in st. petersburg. this means that putin comes from georgia. (the georgians do not enjoy a high reputation in the rest of russia)

the strange thing however is that a russian journalist, artiom borovik, owner of "soverscenno sekretno" and "versia" both scandalistic newspapers, have published already this story. the editor died in a plane crash. as well did publish it the spanish newspaper "el mundo", 25-02-00, and the russian national newspaper "komsomolskaia prawda". the original story was published in the georgian newspapaer "alia" beginning this year. (it was not possible to have the exact dates of the rleative issues)

the mother of v. putin lives in absolute poverty, was reported. nor the name of the father nor the names of the adoptive mother / father are mentioned in the articles.

together with the editor who died in a plane crash (after the articles appeared) died also a petroleum businessman from tschetschenia, zia bazhayew. (note from gigi: this name indicates more an origin from kalmykia - russia)

together with the story of the origin of v. putin, the italian journalist antonia russo, would have also discovered the use of non convential arms in the war in tschetschenia.

in my modest view it is very questionable if antonia russo was killed only for the fact to have discovered that v. putin was given away for adoption. for the demographic disaster (to speak nicely) which stalin left in russia, the situation of many families is not clear.

marco panella, the chief of the radical party of italy and longtime memeber of the italian parliament, promised more explosive information about this case.

somebody knows more? i feel a big story behind all this but i do not see it at the moment.
