Was forced to marry: biographers revealed one of Putin's family

To spread: in a new book about the life of Russian President Vladimir Putin states that his father in his youth wounded his future mother with pitchforks, and was later forced to marry her to avoid prosecution. According to the British edition of the Daily Star, citing the materials of the book "King Personally: As Vladimir Putin cheated us all", the incident occurred in 1928 in the village in the Tver region.

According to eyewitnesses, 17-year-old Maria, known as Marusya, was at home alone when Vladimir Putin Srish came to her yard with a group of men. The girl refused to let the guests that, according to the statement, angered the future father of the president. According to the resident of Anfisa village of Kormilitsina, Putin Sr. grabbed the pitchfork and began to break the gate, after which he accidentally hit Marusia in his face, damaging her eye.

The victim was sent to the hospital where she was removed. The girl's family allegedly threatened the attacker if he does not marry Marusa. Witnesses describe Putin Sr. as a person with a reputation who allowed himself humiliating pranks against girls in the village. One of the co -authors of the book, journalist Roman Badanin, said that such behavior was widespread among rural boys and aimed at bullying girls.

In public speaking, Vladimir Putin described his parents as exemplary, denying any manifestations of violence or alcohol abuse. The authors of the book claim that the Kremlin hides the details of the President's personal life, and official Russian history often replaces the truth. Focus has already wrote that Putin's current state can be compared to the child's behavior in front of the dentist's office.
