How old is Putin? His age differs from official data

According to the official biography of Vladimir Putin, the day after tomorrow (October 7) the Russian ruler turns 71 years old. However, it turns out that Putin might be older than his official biographers indicate. How old is the actual ruler of the Kremlin?
Many Russian oppositionists, researchers, and journalists believe that Vladimir Putin is hiding his age. They support this thesis with specific arguments.
They indicate that the Russian dictator was actually adopted, and his real mother was from Georgia and died at the age of 97 this year.
Maria Putina has referred several times in the media and books to the childhood of "Volodia". She claimed that her biological son was not born in 1952 (as his official biography indicates), but in 1950. We can read about this, for example, in the books of journalist Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich
This suggests that Vladimir Putin should be celebrating his 73rd birthday this year. It might seem like a minor detail, but it shows that the Russian dictator lies even in the most basic and insignificant matters.
Will Putin not be at the birthday party?
It turns out that at Vladimir Putin's birthday, there might not be... Putin. This is reported by the General SVR channel quoted by Fakt. Apparently, a Putin look-alike will participate in the official ceremonies in Russia.
It's the double who will greet the officials and deliver the speech. What will the real Vladimir Putin be doing at this time? He will be waiting.
Unofficial information suggests that the dictator will spend the first part of the ceremony in isolation, protected by specially selected bodyguards. Only during the second, unofficial part of the celebrations will he "reveal himself".
General SVR claims that Vladimir Putin will most likely meet with his family, including Alina Kabaeva (his current partner), whom he reportedly has not seen for several weeks. However, all the information cannot be verified.
