Putin's secret dynasty: Unraveling his hidden family ties
Journalists have once again investigated the life of Vladimir Putin. Information from Werstka suggests that the Russian leader may have as many as five children. Two adult daughters from his first marriage are pursuing scientific careers, while two young sons are reportedly being closely guarded. It is also claimed that the president has a daughter from an affair with a cleaner.
Both Russian and Western journalists are endeavouring to examine Vladimir Putin's life in detail. Although the Kremlin leader tries to shield his family and property, details often emerge. Several locations of his palaces have already been revealed. Now, the Werstka portal has scrutinised the Russian president's family life.
The Plotek portal, citing independent Russian journalists from Werstka, reports that Vladimir Putin has two daughters from his marriage to Lyudmila (currently known by the surname Ocheretnaya). The elder, 37-year-old Maria Vorontsova, is a doctor specialising in endocrinology and serves as a deputy dean at Moscow State University. The younger, 36-year-old Katerina Tikhonova, is the director of the Innopraktika foundation, which focuses on implementing new technologies in Russia.
In addition to her scientific career, Maria Vorontsova is a board member of the Nomeko company, which took over the SOGAZ clinic in St Petersburg. She was reportedly associated with Dutch businessman Jorrit Faassen, who holds senior positions in Russian institutions. On the other hand, Katerina Tikhonova is developing the MSU Vorobyovy Gory scientific and technological centre and is connected with Russian ballet dancer Igor Zelensky.
Tikhonova is allegedly being considered as Putin's successor for the presidency of Russia. Putin has led the country for 20 years and has secured power for at least another 12 years. However, Western media often report on his alleged health issues, including cancer.
Journalists suggest that Putin may have another daughter, 21-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogikh. She is believed to be the result of a 1990s affair with cleaner Svetlana Krivonogikh. The media has reported that, in exchange for discretion, Putin bestowed extremely valuable gifts upon the woman. The 21-year-old has frequently showcased her luxurious lifestyle on Instagram, even flaunting an apartment in Monaco.
Putin is said to have two sons with gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The sons, Ivan and Vladimir Junior, are reportedly hidden from the world and live in seclusion. It is reported that the boys were born in 2015 and 2019, the first in Switzerland and the second in Moscow under the care of a Swiss doctor. They are believed to reside in Putin’s properties, with private schools established for them. Furthermore, they are said to travel exclusively by private airline routes and armoured trains. Agents from the FSB are tasked with ensuring their safety.
