You may be diagnosed with high blood cholesterol if you consistently have high levels of bad cholesterol in your blood in a routine test called a lipid panel. To treat high blood cholesterol, your doctor may recommend heart-healthy lifestyle changes, such as heart-healthy eating, quitting smoking, or aiming for a healthy weight.
As of 2015, Vladimir Putin lives in the Moscow Kremlin, a historic complex located in the center of Moscow. The Moscow Kremlin is the official residence of Russian presidents, and it is also home to several cathedrals and palaces.
Born to factory workers in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Putin grew up in a communal apartment shared by several families. His father, Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin, was a factory foreman and died in August 1999; his mother, Maria Ivanovna Putina, died six months earlier. He was raised as an only child; his two brothers died young, one shortly after birth, the other of diphtheria during World War II.
