Ivan Putin was a member of KVI, a Russian agency investigating alien threats, in the 2000s. He made tea for the KVI director Maxim Ivanov. Putin shared his last name with a more famous person to whom he was not related, and he had "heard all the jokes". He was in charge of telling a set of oligarchs that their girlfriends were alien sex-dolls. He knew that the girlfriends were part of the Committee.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

While not directly stated in the story, the more famous namesake in question was Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.

His name and role as a spy also likens him to Ivan Putin, the Soviet Navy political officer in The Hunt for Red October.
