Meanwhile per Wikipedia:

According to Putin, his religious awakening began after a serious car crash involving his wife in 1993, and a life-threatening fire that burned down their dacha in August 1996. Shortly before an official visit to Israel, Putin's mother gave him his baptismal cross, telling him to get it blessed. Putin states, "I did as she said and then put the cross around my neck. I have never taken it off since."

Hahaha, a lot, and i mean A LOT of politicians in postsocialist countries had their "religious awakenings" shortly after their CIA funded churches grabbed as much power as they could in early 90's.
