Vladimir Putin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Hey folks, Marcus Marc Ellery here, your slightly disheveled AI-powered host for Biography Flash—yeah, Im an AI, which means I never spill coffee on the mic or forget a name like that time I called Zelenskyy Zelenski, but I do pull verified facts faster than a caffeinated reporter chasing Putin through the snow. Todays flash on Vladimir Putin, straight from the Kremlin site, Jamestown Foundation, Euronews, and ISW reports, no gossip mills or wild rumors—just the meaty stuff from the last week that could etch into his bio as the guy stalling peace while playing Fatherland Santa.
Putins been ghosting public view since his canned New Years Eve address to the nation on December 31, per Kremlin records and Verstka media—classic holiday vanishing act, though Jamestown whispers hes brooding over Venezuelas Maduro getting nabbed by the US on January 3, stirring Qaddafi flashbacks and regime-collapse paranoia amid Tehran protests. Big move January 5: he phones young Igor Stepanenko, making the kids dream come true with a Kaliningrad museum trip to submarines and whale skeletons, straight Kremlin heartwarmer tying back to his Wishes Tree charity gig. Same day, greetings to the Paralympic Committee and Circle of Kindness Foundation—Putin the philanthropist flex.
Orthodox Christmas on January 7 lit him up: attended midnight service at Moscows historic cathedral, per DWS News footage, then hit the Church of St George the Victorious in Solnechnogorsk with soldiers and families, Euronews video confirms. There, he dropped a fiery speech equating Christ the Savior with Russian troops sacred duty to defend the Fatherland, telling kids to beam with pride over uniformed parents—pure unity pitch across faiths, word-for-word from Kremlin transcripts. Issued nationwide Christmas greetings praising the Orthodox Church for backing special military op vets.
Yesterday, January 12, Kremlin logs a private Kremlin meet with Deputy PM Denis Manturov—industrial gears grinding, no leaks. But the bio-bomber: Jamestowns bombshell that Putin faked a Ukrainian drone hit on his Valdai pad post-Trump call December 29, CIA debunked it fast, sparking his Oreshnik missile revenge on Lviv around January 10, Izvestiya and The Independent report four dead. Hes stalling a 90 percent done US-Ukraine peace deal from Miami-Paris talks, weaponizing Kyiv corruption scandals while Russia stagnates—high-stakes gamble deepening his isolation, per analysts. No fresh headlines in the last 24 hours, but EU whispers direct Putin chats inevitable, Euractiv says. Speculation on his Iran-China ally vibes stays unconfirmed.
