Iwan and his President

Putin goes undercover as a drill sergeant. Talking to a new recruit, he asks 
- Where are you from, private? 
- Sir, St. Petersburg 
- Oh, I'm from there too. Who's your father? 
- Sir, my father is President Vladimir Putin.
 - That is impossible, how can that be? 
- Sir, people always say that President Putin is father of our country. 
 Surprised but pleased, Putin tell the recruit: 
 - That actually makes sense, but really who's your mother then? 
- Sir, my mother is Russia. 
- How so? 
- Because people always say Russia is mother of all people, all ethnic, all nation.
Laughing out loud, Putin's liken the new recruit with great hope and ask him friendly. 
 - Spectacular private, what role model do you want to become? 
- I want to be an orphan, sir.
