One might argue that one Vladimir Putin is quite enough already.

But Yelena Borisovna Mizoulina disagrees. In fact, if the Russian lawmaker has her way, we can expect a younger generation of bare-chested, horse-riding Russians with a penchant for spy thrillers and pistachio ice-cream.

Mrs Mizoulina has suggested giving Russian women the sperm of President Vladimir Putin in a bid to create a new ‘military and political elite’.

The Chairwoman of the Parliamentary Commission on women’s affairs, children and family said that giving the president’s sperm to women would improve the greatness of Russia and improve patriotism, Trust reports.




And Mrs Mizoulina – who it is perhaps worth noting would not herself be eligible for Putin’s sperm – believes that by giving the mothers of Putin’s children ‘special allowances’ and educating the children in Soviet-style boarding schools, a new, ultra-devoted ‘military and political elite’ would be created.

‘The essence of my proposition is simple,’ she said.

‘Every citizen of Russia will receive by mail the genetic material of the president, to get pregnant from him and have a baby. These mothers will receive a special allowance from the state.

‘Children born from the Russian president in the future will form the military and political elite of the state.’

If Ms Mizoulina’s suggestion sounds a bit odd, it’s worth noting that the same woman suggested exiling all Russian Jews (on the grounds that Russia ‘has enough problems’) and introduced a bill that banned higher education for women who had yet to give birth.

Not everyone in Russia is buying the latest bizarre idea, however.

Mikhail Klikishin told the New York Observer the story is ‘total BS from Ukrainian yellow press.’
