Volgin possessed the full legacy thanks to his father managing to take it, unnoticed in the confusion of WW2. Simply being alive would not give the Philosophers access to the money. They would have no power over the Legacy.

That said, the idea of his being "denied his land" due to the Patriots usurping the Philosophers former position has some merit. ya the philosiphers legacy was under control of volgin etc. at mgs 3 (1940/1950´s). but im thinking about the time when the last of the wisemans comittee died (according to this wiki ca. in the 1930´s).

we dont have enough information to tell what happened between the wiseman commitee/philosiphers switch. it´s just beein stated that after the death of the last wiseman the organisation run wild and the philosiphers where born this way. but ur right simply beeing alive doesnt mean he has the power over the legacy, but maybe instead he had some knowledge of some things we dont see yet. maybe if he would wanted to he could have stand aaginst the patriots uprising, but may ended up hiding instead...

about the boss father thing. kojima brought back some "dead" people already before, so i dont think we can surely say that he cant be the father of The Boss. The only picture we got from the boss´s father is black white, u cant see if he either got blonde or white hair on that picture. Kojima stated that code talker is set to be around 100 years old, this would fit quite well with the age of the boss´s father at ca. 1984.

as for the boss has blond hair, well we dont know her mother yet!? the native american thing is bothering me a little... cant disagree with u at that point... but im just getting out some ideas and possiblitys...
