Matthew Quellas quotes Stef de Groot, webmaster of the President
Vladimir V. Putin website, "The time of birth was from his
official Soviet birth certificate, as you inquired."
"Since the webmaster SAYS that the time is from B.C., we
list it as A data." – Lois Rodden
Formerly, Claudia von Schierstedt quotes Spiegel
"archives" in Meridian March/April 2000, time unknown.
Richard Nolle quotes Putin's own website for 1:00 AM, "from
Boris Izraitel in Russia, with a note that the time is from Putin's
private conversation with an unknown reporter who then passed this
information to a friend, S. Klimov. Kilmov described the reporter as
one of the most reliable sources in his hunt for celebrity birth
data." The first data quote is ambiguous with
"archives," and the second is circuitous and questionable;
the data can not be considered as confirmed. In the ISAR online
newsletter, 4/09/2000, Sergey Smelyakov gives 16.10 LT, 13.10 GMT
from the rectification presented in the Russian translation of the
article of J. Weiss that was initially published in the ASTROLOGIE
HEUTE # 83, Feb/Mar 2000, Switzerland.

Biography
Russian politician, taking the office of President on 3/26/2000,
replacing Yeltsin who resigned the prior December 31st, ailing and being
edged out of power. Putin, a virtually unknown security chief, had been
appointed by Yeltsin as his seventh Prime Minister on 8/09/1999. Known to
be a pragmatist, Putin has demonstrated that he is aware of the scale of
the problems facing Russian society and the Russian economy and he seems
to be serious about fighting corruption. At present, he is one of the most
admired figures Russia has seen this decade, even his opponents singing
his praises. Born to factory workers in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg),
Putin grew up in a communal apartment shared by several families. His
father, Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin, was a factory foreman and died in
August 1999; his mother, Maria Ivanovna Putina, died six months
earlier.
He was raised as an only child; his two brothers died young, one
shortly after birth, the other of diphtheria during World War II. Although
it was officially prohibited by Communist law, Putin was baptized in the
Russian Orthodox faith. In his youth he was called Volodya or Putka. He
studied law at Leningrad University where one of his teachers was Anatoli
Sobchak, an early reformer.
After graduating from University in 1975 with a degree in civil law,
Putin spend 15 years as a KGB agent, based largely in East Germany. While
spending the 1980’s in Berlin, intelligence observers believe he slipped
into West Germany to learn trade secrets of such companies as U.S.
computer giant IBM. In 1990 he returned to Leningrad State University as
an assistant to the rector. At the same time he joined the administration
of then-mayor of Leningrad-St. Petersburg, Sobchak. Rising to become the
first deputy mayor, he learned to deal with Western businessmen and
investors.
What can be gleaned from Putin's bare biography suggests that he is
intelligent and cunning, trusted enough by peers to be handed some of the
most sensitive assignments. He entered politics as an appointed deputy and
soon gained clout in city hall. An excellent psychologist, he is skilled
in manipulation. After Sobchak's defeat in 1996, Putin was brought to
Moscow by Anatoli Chubais to join the presidential administration.
Recruited by the Kremlin, he quickly rose to become head of the FSB,
(Federal Security Bureau) a successor to the KGB.
The poker-faced ex-KGB spy once tried to westernize a crumbling Soviet
Union but has since galvanized a new Russia and is vowing to annihilate
the rebels of Chechnya. He swore to stop terrorists shortly after Russia
launched its Chechen war, September 1999. Such talk boosted Putin's
career. At present, he is the star of a well orchestrated media public
relations campaign, one which has put his presidential rating at an
unheralded 46 percent.
He zealously guards his privacy, avoiding any publicity to glare on his
wife, Lyudmila and their daughters Katya, 14, and Maria, 13. His wife was
born on 1/06/1958 in Kaliningrad, the former Koenigsberg, East Prussia,
Germany (now Poland,) no time known. She is a graduate of the philological
department of the Leningrad State University. She formerly worked as a
stewardess in Kaliningrad and then as a schoolteacher, speaking German,
Spanish and French.
The entire family loves animals; they own a white poodle called Tosca.
Mr Putin has good command of English and German and he is fond of sports,
especially wrestling. He has been going in for sambo (a Russian style of
self-defense) and judo since the age of 11. He won the sambo championships
of St Petersburg many times and became Master of Sports first in sambo and
later in judo. Putin doesn't smoke and he is not an excessive drinker. He
is not known as a charismatic speaker though he is a tough and resourceful
man. Putin is said to be most popular among young people, Muscovites and
educated people. His reputation is of a good chairman and organizer.
