Oh wow! I just took it for granted it was a kid, not an adult who sounds like a kid.
It reminds me of that story of the grown man impersonating a child and going to school in California. When he got caught they found out that his "fathers" were having sex with him under the assumption he was a child. They literally began freaking out when they found out they had been having sex with a grown man instead of the pre-teen runaway they had taken in.
I didn't realize US interference with Russia election lead to Yeltsin winning and then handing over power to Putin. Really changes the whole US vs Russia angle when they literally put him in power and made sure he stayed there. Kind of like every regime change turned dictatorship that the US has their fingerprints all over.
