Putin's Mama Not much In Vera Putina's 77-year history, she was distinguished from all those other Russian women who grew up and grew old with the Soviet Union. Until in 1999 she recognizes her long-lost son in Vladimir Putin. Has Vera's long-lost son Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin indeed become the president of Russia 'It is a question Vera has not been asking herself for a long time; for her it is absolutely clear that her Vova has made it this far. And not only Vera is convinced of this, also her daughters and the other residents of the Georgian village of Metechi are sure that the ten-year-old boy who disappeared at the time must be the same as the man who is now president. Why this is so, and how it came about, we hear from Vera who tells us her life story with verve. Interrupted by neighbors, helped by Vova's childhood friends, and supplemented by villagers, we hear little by little how Vera lost Vova. But above all, it creates a moving and sometimes humorous portrait of a still lively Vera, and her life in the Georgian village of Metechi. Her memory and her belief in her dream of one day being able to hold her child in her arms again are so strong that you would wish her every lost child in the world.
