Putin in Shanghai, c. 1940

[avezink]

Here is Shanghai’s own Putin, or rather, Poutin, Trofim Fedorovich - Трофим Федорович Путин - born in Perm on 15th of April 1884 to Alexandra and Feodor. We don’t know much about him, except that he was unmarried and lived at 95 Edinburg Road. Poutin was not an intellectual, if one is to judge by the penmanship.
