I keep an eye on the Putin wiki, which has been getting changed often, but that generally refers to anything worthy of propaganda (like erasing his PhD in Mineral Economics).

Nothing has changed in description of parents and where he grew up.

So why would a video described as History of Putin have no mention of his actual history as a child, his parents, and where he was born and grew up?

Bad title.

Does something in his youth or childhood have any bearing at all on his political history?

We know that Stalin was born and grew up in Georgia, and studied for the priesthood before switching around to atheist and communist. He was just as merciless to Georgians as he was to Ukrainians, Tartars or Russians. He was an equal-opportunity mass murderer. His Georgian youth is only marginally relevant.

If any info on Putin’s youth or childhood is relevant, please disclose.

Answer: clicks, courtesy of YouTube and AdSense. Sat through two adverts, one about belly fat, and another about.... Well, it comes to money. And a 46 minute video, narrated "on screen" with John Coogan. So....
