Vladimir Putin

Born on October the 7th, in 1952, in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), he is 72 years old and was married to Lyudmila Ocheretnaya (1983-2014).

Since 1999, he has been active in politics as Prime Minister and then President of the Russian Federation.

An officer of the KGB, the USSR’s main intelligence service, he was stationed in Dresden at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He began his political career at the Saint Petersburg City Hall, then became one of the closest advisors to President Boris Yeltsin, who appointed him Director of the Federal Security Service (formerly the KGB) in 1998, then Prime Minister of Russia the following year.  »

« He was elected to a fourth term in the 2018 presidential election. Two years later, he had a referendum passed to prohibit presidential term limits, which would allow him to remain in power until 2036.”

« Under Vladimir Putin’s leadership, Russia has experienced democratic erosion and a slide toward authoritarianism. The country is characterized by endemic corruption and numerous human rights abuses, including the imprisonment, repression, and even assassination of political opponents, the intimidation and suppression of independent media, and the absence of free elections. »

His elections were rigged, and fraud smacked of the first round. He passed a law to make mandates unlimited. He eliminated his opponents and adversaries—in short, the obstacles in his path, the protesters. The world must bend to his power, whatever the cost; he will do everything to achieve this.

Coming from a modest working-class family, he has two brothers who died in infancy. He is the third child and the only survivor of the siblings. His father was a soldier in the Red Army from 1941 and was seriously wounded in the left leg while fighting the Wehrmacht.

« His paternal grandparents were peasants from the hamlet of Pominovo, part of the village of Turginovo (Tver Oblast), north of Moscow, who had settled there since the village’s founding in the 17th century. According to a biographer of Vladimir Putin, his grandfather, Spiridon Putin, was the first of his line to be born after the abolition of serfdom in the Tsarist Empire. Spiridon, whom Vladimir Putin has said was the member of his family he most admired, is said to have been a cook for the Romanovs, then for Lenin and Stalin. »

In honor of his paternal grandfather and in memory of his deceased brothers, coming from a modest family, is he trying to make up for it?

 « A few days after his birth, Vladimir Putin’s mother secretly requested that her son be baptized in the Transfiguration Cathedral, even though baptism could be severely punished in the Soviet Union, an institutionally atheistic state. He was a mediocre student according to some, average according to others, and a fighter. Vladimir Putin practiced sambo (Russian wrestling) in his youth and judo from the age of 12. He was the Leningrad sambo champion; in 1973, he was awarded the title of master of sports in sambo and, in 1976, in judo. He also enjoyed ice hockey.”

« On November the 14th, 1999, Vladimir Putin authorized the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office to borrow $30 million from a foreign bank to purchase a new computer network: Hewlett-Packard (HP) was awarded the contract in February 2001, although its bid was not the cheapest. In return, HP provided €7.6 million in bribes to Russian officials, including prosecutors and secret service agents, allowing Vladimir Putin to consolidate his dominance over the Russian judiciary. This transaction was covered by an export guarantee from Euler Hermes, which belongs to the German Allianz group, and approved by the German Ministry of Economics and Labor.  »

« In early September 1999, attacks on residential buildings claimed several hundred lives in Moscow and other Russian cities and were attributed by Russian judicial authorities to Chechen terrorists from the Islamist center « Kavkaz. » The official version of the attacks’ origins remains contested by opponents of Vladimir Putin: the few politicians and journalists to have investigated the September 1999 attacks were imprisoned or, in the majority of cases, assassinated, such as former spy Alexander Litvinenko and journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Having been hostile to the first Chechen war, Russian public opinion called for new military operations to put an end to the Chechen separatists.

 At a press conference in Astana, Kazakhstan’s new capital, at the end of September 1999, Vladimir Putin declared that it would be necessary to « kill the terrorists in the toilets. »

Putin, who enjoyed the support of President Yeltsin and the General Staff, ordered, after an ultimatum, the resumption of hostilities in Chechnya, in order to « restore the federal constitutional order. » The Second Chechen War (officially called the « anti-terrorist operation ») began on October the first, 1999. While he was credited with only 3% of the presidential vote at the start of his term, far behind Primakov, he saw his voting intentions increase considerably.

Is he looking for reasons to attack and thus fuel his ambition and power?  At the time, Chechnya, today, Ukraine, and soon Poland, according to recent news?

(see document on Ukraine: ask me)

Dominated by violence, ruthless, he kills without qualms anyone whose elimination he deems necessary. Over the years, his dangerousness and hostility have increased to the point of becoming crimes against humanity, a relentless pursuit.

« In 1982, Putin met Lyudmila Alexandrovna Shkrebneva, a young flight attendant, whom he married the following year. They have two daughters, Maria, born in 1985 in Leningrad, and Ekaterina, born in 1986 in Dresden. 

On June the 6th, 2013, confirming the numerous rumors of their separation, which they had repeatedly denied, Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin announced their divorce in an interview with the Rossiya 24 channel.

Putin, still married, reportedly had an affair with Svetlana Krivonogikh, a former housekeeper who suddenly became a millionaire after the birth of their daughter Elizaveta (also known as Luiza Rozova) in 2003.

He then became involved with gymnast Alina Kabaeva, thirty years his junior, whom he reportedly helped get elected to the State Duma in 2007 and with whom he reportedly had three children. The number of children may actually be four: two boys and two twin girls. These four children were reportedly born in Switzerland and hold Swiss passports.  In September 2024, Putin’s two sons with Kabaeva were identified as Ivan, born in 2015 in Lugano, and Vladimir Jr., born in 2019 in Moscow. Contrary to previous speculation, there are therefore only two sons from this relationship.

Vladimir Putin is the grandfather of two grandsons born in 2012 and 2017, and of a granddaughter born in 2017, through Maria Vorontsova.

In April 2022, following the Buchá massacre in Ukraine, Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova, his daughters from his first marriage to Lyudmila Alexandrovna Shkrebneva, were sanctioned by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

Vladimir Putin owns several dogs.

Coming from a modest family himself, he helps his partners climb to the top, making them rich and powerful.

Definition of a Narcissistic Pervert

How can you defend yourself against such a character?

Their goal is to demean others in order to elevate themselves. They will therefore exploit the weak points of those around them, making them lose their self-esteem, their confidence, their self-assurance, in order to dominate.

The more sensitive, weak, and vulnerable the victim is, the easier it is.

The more the victim reacts, the more it means it’s working, so they continue.

They hit where it hurts and isolate them to better dominate them, so their control is complete and they can’t defend themselves. They then turn others, their potential supporters, against them so that they agree with them.

This type of character often holds a high-ranking position, such as a business leader, director, ambassador, or manager—the ideal position to demonstrate their superiority.  Since he’s in charge, his subordinates had better listen and obey, otherwise he’ll know how to make them crack, drive them out.

In a romantic relationship, he’ll push everyone away so that his sweetheart is all his and defenseless. He’ll make her believe she can’t cope without him, that she’s nothing without him, that if she leaves, she’ll regret it. Over the years, she’s convinced of this and ignores the warnings of those around her who try to warn and inform her. She’s even capable of rejecting them and separating from them as long as she’s with the man she loves, whom she believes is brilliant and superior to all others, and that she’ll never meet another like him. For her, he’s unique; she’s found the rare gem and doesn’t want to lose him, no matter the cost.

 She eventually accepts loneliness and isolation, believing she’s made the right choices. As the years go by, it becomes harder to think differently and change.

He’s in control, he has a lot, he has money, he’s powerful. Indeed, what will become of her without him, she wonders. She believes he’s indispensable to her.

The only way out is to end the relationship and run away, to go far away. To do that, you have to have the courage. He’ll do anything to hold her back, convincing her that she’s heading for ruin, that she won’t be able to manage without him, that others won’t help her since they left a long time ago. They’ve abandoned her, so why would they support her? She’ll find herself alone, and that prospect frightens her, so she stays.

All those who left simply wanted to be okay, to get out of all that and rebuild their lives, regain self-esteem, confidence, strength, and self-assurance, and become aware of their qualities and positive aspects that he spent so much energy making them forget.

 Dialogue with him is impossible. He’ll always be right and others wrong. He knows better, and if someone tells him off—I know this better than you—he’ll do anything to prove otherwise, since his ego is inflated. If everyone receives compliments and attention except him, he’ll be very upset and frustrated because, come on, he’s the best; the others are nothing in comparison.

If someone tries to outbid him, to respond, it could end in conflict, and morally, it will be difficult. He’ll do everything he can to dismantle the other person point by point, making them bitterly regret their intervention.

The best thing is to say nothing, show nothing, because the slightest element could become a weapon he will use against his rival, his victim. On the other hand, keeping a low profile and letting him speak and act is giving him the right to do so; it’s unfair.

Once again, staying and fighting is pointless.  The best solution is to leave and never see that person again. Forget him and try to find peace and happiness, love too, someone who will see that you are a good person. Someone who will also treat you as an equal, with respect.

This type of person also has no empathy and is therefore unaware of causing harm, and if someone pointed this out to them, they would defend themselves and feel offended. It’s pointless to expect them to change.

Often, this type of person has had a difficult childhood. For example, poverty during their youth, and as an adult, they try to achieve the opposite and flaunt their wealth and success. This aggression has left its mark on them, and they try to make up for it.

They then do everything they can to avoid appearing weak, inferior, or powerless.

 If, in addition, this type of person engages in sexual and moral harassment and psychological manipulation, it’s worse, and in fact, they go hand in hand. It’s another way to exert influence, to dominate, and to have control.

In rape or incest, no one believes the victim, so if the perpetrator is a narcissistic pervert, there’s even less chance of her surviving. She’ll be lost, even more alone, even more devastated and rejected by everyone. The consequences of their reactions will be worse.

Besides, given the money he has, he would be quite capable of bribing lawyers and exerting his influence to clear his name. A powerful man can open more doors.

A stranger goes unnoticed and is difficult to accept. This is also true in the workplace. Without experience or education, but also without significant connections, the chances of acceptance are minimal.

Does the definition apply to Vladimir Putin?

A more dangerous narcissistic pervert? He has no empathy, fights against his poverty and that of those close to him at the time, aims for the upper echelons of society to be far from the childhood image he’s trying to escape, remains close to the Germans because of his experiences there and despite what happened to his father, doesn’t oppose them, and keeps in mind the memory of his paternal grandfather, who cooked for powerful people like the Romanovs, the empire that fell during the First World War. Perhaps he compensates for the absence of his brothers by wanting to feel as strong as the three he could have been if they had survived. He creates a vacuum around him; those who challenge him are pushed aside or even killed. The image he conveys is important.

 Did he get married because the secret service stipulated that agents be married to avoid homosexuality and promiscuous relationships? He doesn’t accept being persuaded to change his mind or listen to reason, since he is the right path to follow in every situation. He is the strong man and intends to remain so. He climbed the ranks increasingly dishonestly, he worked hard, and he wouldn’t want anyone to destroy his life’s work.

He has some insecurities to overcome. He was bad at school but made up for it later. He uses his past with the KGB in his current political actions, using the same kind of methods. He doesn’t know how to talk, and in any case, he will always win.  Compromises and negotiations are out of the question since he’s the one who decides; no one has to force him into anything.

What are they getting involved in and who do they think they are? Fuck them! It doesn’t matter if their name is Donald Trump, and he owns a country of comparable magnitude to his own, or Emmanuel Macron, the French President, and to hell with all of Europe! He has a plan, an ambition, and no one will deflect him from his path; he’ll see it through to the end. He’s not someone to be thwarted. That would be worse. If, at his age, he can have young women in his bed, it’s flattering. Money will be a driving force to keep them with him. Finances solve everything, and Switzerland is a neutral country and a tax haven, apparently, so let’s go for it!  Success, above all, flatters the ego and makes it feel even bigger.

This article from BFMTV seems to confirm this: https://www.bfmtv.com/international/asie/russie/une-jouissance-du-malheur-des-autres-un-psy-analyse-le-comportement-de-vladimir-poutine_AN-202210120320.html

I invite you to read this psychological article about Putin and Trump: https://www.sciencespo.fr/ceri/fr/content/ce-que-poutine-et-trump-nous-disent-de-l-humiliation

In conclusion…

Discussions and negotiations with Putin are useless. Talking to him and spending time with him only gives him weapons to use later to challenge these statements, fuels his anger, and can also give him new ideas. He observes his interlocutors and adversaries and acts accordingly. The more information he is given, the better prepared he is to respond. On the other hand, leaving him alone in his corner gives him time to think, and once again, he will be prepared to outdo himself. In any case, discussing with him is a waste of time and energy. It’s better to use one’s strengths for actions that will lead to convincing results.

A strategy other than dialogue should be considered, without necessarily resorting to violence in response. By one means or another, he will always strengthen himself to defeat anyone who tries to attack him.

 We must find a way to prevent him from fueling his power, thus gradually weakening him until he is finally neutralized. As long as he has the weapons to defend himself, he will use them. Disempowering him, stripping him of everything that could make him dangerous, removing any means of causing harm and reaching others can prove to be a good strategy for ending conflicts.

Then the question arises: from whom and where? How does he obtain all these weapons and support? Identify his allies and loyalists? Determine where he draws his strength and energy to maintain his position in power, point by point? Dismantle everything that makes him seemingly invincible, and dry up its source to render him harmless and unable to cause harm.

 Unfortunately, his allies are China, communism, North Korea, another dictatorship, and it’s hard to know where Trump really stands, but the United States is a major world power. Europe finds itself in the middle. Ukraine submitted its application to join the European Union in 2022 at the start of the war.

Perhaps we should try to find something that would interest these powers more than supporting Putin, find arguments to divert them from the war in Ukraine. He surely obtains ammunition and weapons from them; Russia doesn’t produce everything on its own. Trying to talk to its allies to weaken, it would be an avenue worth exploring.

 Since he relies on history to justify war, demonstrating his errors of judgment and that his arguments are unfounded would overturn his reasoning and highlight the fact that he kills to dominate. This would undermine his entire policy and the credibility of his statements.

And what does the Russian people really know? What do they believe? If the Russians rebelled against their leader, what would Putin do? Would he start eradicating an entire civilization? More than crimes against humanity, this would constitute genocide. Would he sink so low?

Without resorting to violence, but simply to intelligence, strategies and solutions need to be considered and tested. I hope that the war in Ukraine will soon end, and I also hope that Poland will not suffer a similar fate.

 In short, by talking to him, his anger grows and his arguments multiply, and by defending ourselves with weapons, this encourages him to strike even harder. Changing our approach could lead to possible success.

Courage to all! I’m with you all.
