Vladimir putin is said to have an exceptional genetic mutation: the dna of leningrad

A study assures that whoever owns it is stronger and has more capacity to resist extreme situations.

They say Vladimir Putin has an exceptional genetic mutation: Leningrad's DNA.
The battle of Leningrad, today's St. Petersburg, was one of the hardest in World War II. From September 1941 to January 1944, the Russian city was besieged by the Nazi army. It is estimated that more than one million people died during the almost two and a half years of siege, due to hunger and hardship, not counting those killed in combat. Among the survivors were the parents of the current Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who has always been proud of the courage they showed to overcome that tragic moment in history.

And now, a documentary titled Bloody Blocked Blood has just been released in Russia. Genetics, which affirms that Putin's great physical strength and extraordinary character is the result of a genetic mutation shared by many descendants of the survivors of that battle and named after Leningrad's DNA.

Although such a statement is surprising from the outset, it is based on a scientific study by Oleg Glotov of the Ott Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction in 2015. The research revealed that many of the people who survived the terrible siege carried a strange genetic mutation that increased the effectiveness of mitochondria, reducing the body's energy expenditure and making it more resistant to hunger and cold. And they also saw that many of their descendants also inherited it.

We do not know with certainty whether Putin has undergone the relevant genetic tests to check whether he has actually inherited the mutation. Still, the documentary takes it for granted. And we, looking at their trajectory, believe that there is a good chance that this will happen.
