Putin was born into an ordinary family, and he never hid anything about it.
Putin's grandfather, Spike Dawn, was a skilled celebrity chef with many unusual experiences. After World War I, he was invited to work in the town of Gork, a suburb of Moscow, to cook for Lenin and his family, who lived there at the time. After Lenin's death, Spike Dawn was transferred to a Stalin dacha, where he worked for a long time. After his retirement, he worked for many years as a cook at the Iinskoye Retreat of the Moscow City Committee. Spire's wife, Putin's grandmother Oriya, was born into a very ordinary family. To escape the turmoil brought about by World War I, the Spier Dawn family had to move to the small town of Tver. There, Orya gave birth to Putin's father, Vladimir Spiridonovich.
Vladimir Spiridonovich (also known as Putin the Elder) and Putin's mother, Maria Ivanovna, met at a ball in Tver City and eventually bonded. Since then, except for the irresistible factor of war, the two have basically not been separated.
The old Putin does not smile, seems a little cold on the surface, but deeply loves Putin and cares about Putin's growth very much. As for her mother, she has a deep affection for Putin and revolves around him everywhere. Maria had previously had two children, but unfortunately both died. At the age of 41, she gave birth to Putin. For this reason, Putin is called a "late child", the pearl in the palm of his parents. According to Putin himself, "In this life, my mother has no other pursuits except me." Every little thing is always reflected in her love for me. ”
In addition, it is especially worth mentioning Putin's appearance and uncle Peter. Ivanovich Selomov was born exactly the same. But all acquaintances confirmed in unison that Vladimir Putin's character and attitude to life are true old Putin style. We can confirm this from Putin's childhood friends. Victor. Borishchenko commented on the profound influence of Putin's parents on his character:
"Maria. Ivanovna is an ordinary Russian woman - this is the best compliment for her. She never plays with her heart, and her kind eyes are like a pool of clear autumn water. Putin shows this look from time to time when talking to people - if you look closely, you will definitely find this.
"Vladimir Spiridonovich is a very serious, focused and well-behaved person. He's not a closed person, he just doesn't like meaningless small talk. This feature, in my opinion, can also be seen in Putin Jr. He is also a man of few words. Indeed, he has many similarities in personality to his father. Both men have a strong character and are able to determine their will in an instant. ”
However, what this ordinary family brings to Putin is nothing other than the wealth of character such as kindness and calmness, seriousness and focus, restraint and obedience, and even some poverty. After Putin was born, the family was cramped into a 20-square-meter common room in Baskovy Alley. When using water, it was also necessary to use wooden barrels to transport water from the first floor to the fifth floor. There are even rats running around the stairs, Putin used to chase these rats on the floor as a child, sometimes he and his friends would throw rats that were driven into the corner into the crowd, and one year, Putin went to a construction team in the Komi Autonomous Republic to participate in a voluntary labor, and after returning, he bought the first new coat, before which he did not even have a decent dress. 但这只是那个时代普通人的生活缩影，其实，家道贫寒生计籍迫的何止普京一家，那时的俄罗斯差不多家家加此：在列宁格街市内，家家户户住的大都是公房。 Some of the living units are better, some are worse, but the standard of living of each family is generally comparable.
The family is a fortress for Putin. Arguably, this is his greatest strength. Although Putin at that time did not clearly understand this. Obviously, in the minds of parents, the most precious person is Putin. The young Putin watched families around him break up and disintegrate, many of them because of the man's unrestrained drinking. He witnessed the tragedy, first in the courtyard of his home with many residents, and then in the school. Therefore, in Putin's opinion, the family environment in which he is located is the best. Everything his parents do is to make his life better. It is thanks to them that Putin can have a good start in life. This is undoubtedly very important to him.
