Putin's secret sons revealed: Inside the hidden family life
A journalistic investigation has revealed Vladimir Putin's closely guarded secrets. These secrets concern his sons, who are said to be the fruit of the dictator's relationship with gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The boys are reportedly named Ivan and Vladimir. The independent Dossier Center has revealed more closely guarded secrets of Putin.
Vladimir Putin closely guards his privacy. His private life has been an open secret for years. He officially divorced his wife, Lyudmila, in 2013. From this marriage, the Russian dictator has two adult daughters - Katerina Tikhonova (born in 1986, a scientist and manager) and Maria Vorontsova (born in 1985, a doctor).
Unofficially, the Russian dictator is involved with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The couple is said to be raising two sons together. However, these reports have never been confirmed by Putin, Kabaeva, or anyone from their circle.
The Dossier Center, founded by politician Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has published the results of an investigation that reveals many secrets of the Russian dictator. Journalists obtained information about Putin's family and private life. His sons are reportedly named Ivan and Vladimir. The younger Ivan was born in 2015, and the older Vladimir in 2019.
Ivan and Vladimir live with their parents at the presidential residence in Valdai. They do not attend school or nursery. Everything is organized on the estate.
Their teachers and trainers live in separate buildings on the residence's premises. The children have cars with drivers. Teachers and staff accompany them on trips and outings.
According to the Dossier Center investigation, guests sporadically appear at the residence. These are other children – most often the offspring of Kabaeva's friends. Investigators also found that in the evenings, Putin plays hockey with his older son. For this purpose, an ice rink was built in Valdai.
