October 7, 1952 - ◆(birth) Vladimir Putin, President of Russia.
※
Putin's birthday is the 100th anniversary of the dispatch of a Russian expedition for Japan (October 19, 1852: October 7, 1852 in the Julian calendar).
In the expedition, Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin leads the mission. But Putin and Putyatin look alike. Probably Putin is a descendant of Putyatin. Now that both the House of Romanov and Putyatin are Japanese descents, it is highly probable that Putin is Japanese descent.
Putin is well-known for his advanced-level of judo. He holds a black belt in judo. However the black belt is probably a parody on the coincidence between his birthday and the day of the first barcode patent issuance.
The coincidence of the birthdays of Putin and Medvedev strongly insinuates that they are Japanese descents. In fact both of them are short-legged.
