Context: The woman in this picture is Putin's officially-sanctioned mother "Maria Ivanova". I restrained from calling her his mom tho.

The situation about Putin's real mother is fishy.

In 1999 he published some information about his family, stating that his parents have already died (offically: Maria Ivanova died in 1998).

Since 1999 another woman also claims to be his real mother, stating that she recognized him on TV. Her name is Vera Putina. According to

Twenty-six soldiers were charged with criminal offenses, but only Lieutenant William Calley Jr., a platoon leader in C Company, was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but served only three-and-a-half years under house arrest.
