Woman who claimed to be Vladimir Putin’s secret MOTHER ‘after she fell pregnant during affair with a married man’ dies aged 97
- Vera Putina first came forward with claims that she was Putin’s mother in 1999
A woman who claimed for years to be the secret mother of Vladimir Putin has died in poverty age 97, it was revealed today.
Vera Putina for decades said the Russian President was her son, born to her after she had an affair with a married man.
The dictator has never publicly acknowledged these claims, despite the woman producing pictures of her son, which showed an uncanny resemblance to the now 70-year-old Russian leader.
Vera had lived in the extremely poor village of Metekhi in the former Soviet state of Georgia. She claimed she gave away the Russian leader when he was just 10 years old.
The woman first came forward with the claims in 1999, however, Putin wrote in his autobiography wrote that he was born and brought up in St Petersburg by a woman called Maria and his father, also called Vladimir Putin.

The Russian leader claimed both of his parents had died from cancer in the 1990s. But details of the leader’s childhood have been extremely hard to come by, with often the main sources for his early life being Putin himself.
Vera, who nicknamed Putin Vova, said he had never forgiven her after he was sent to his grandparents in Ochyor, Russia and never came back.
When Putin’s ‘secret mother’ died this week, she had not had contact with him for 60 years.
Sources in Georgia confirmed to The Sun that Vera had died of ‘old age’ in the capital Tbilisi. She was then buried in her native village of Metekhi on Tuesday.
She alleged he was the couple’s third son, with both of his older brothers had died, one in infancy and one of starvation.
Records from the achieves of the the closet town to Metekhi, show a Vladmir Putin was registered at a village school from 1959 to 1960 and was born Georgian, not Russian.
She claimed her time looking after young Putin ended after she fled his drunken father-in-law to her Russian parents.
After she reconciled with her husband, she allegedly asked for Putin back, but her parents did not want to let the young boy go instead insisting ‘they would take good care of him’.

Vera’s account is at odds with 70-year-old Putin’s that claims he was born in 1952 in Leningrad – now known as St Petersburg.
She told The Sun in one of her last interviews: ‘My dream is not to die without Vova seeing me and talking to me at least once.
‘I often see him in my dreams, but he doesn’t want to talk to me. Both in life and in dreams, he is upset about what I did, he cannot forgive me’.
The Kremlin has dismissed these claims. Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, previously said: ‘The story is not true. It does not correspond to reality at all.’
