Vladimir Putin's Alleged 'Secret' Daughter Lives Under False Identity In Paris: Report

Elizaveta Krivonogikh, the 21-year-old who is believed to be the secret daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has reportedly been living under a false identity in Paris since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict.

Under a new name, she is said to be presenting herself as a relative of the late Putin associate Oleg Rudnov, according to a Ukrainian TV investigation.

Krivonogikh, now known as Luiza Rozova, disappeared just before Russia's invasion of Ukraine two years ago, despite having previously been active on social media in Russia.

Her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, was Putin's long-term partner before becoming a successful businesswoman. At 49, Svetlana has amassed significant wealth, with shares in a major bank and ownership of a prominent strip club in St. Petersburg.

Both mother and daughter are reported to use the surname Rudnova. Meanwhile, Putin's two secret sons, born to former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, are living in seclusion, away from the public eye, according to a previous investigation by The Independent.

The TV investigation revealed that Elizaveta Krivonogikh, also known as Luiza Rozova, concealed her patronymic name, Vladimirovna. She was once a student at the Paris School of Management and Arts but no longer attends. It was also uncovered that she holds a passport listing her as Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova, with her birthdate recorded as March 3, 2003. The surname "Rudnova" is the female version of "Rudnov."

"After extensive research, TSN found that Elizaveta had changed her surname to Rudnova, allegedly adopting the last name of Oleg Rudnov, a close Putin ally who once facilitated luxury real estate deals. The change further suggests her connection to Putin," the investigation claims.

In the past, Luiza ran her own fashion brand and even worked as a DJ in Russia. However, it is believed that Putin intervened to reduce her public presence ahead of the war. Her last public appearance was at the Louvre in 2021.

Luiza and her mother are believed to live in a luxurious £3.1 million home in Monaco. This suggests Luiza was born while Putin was still married to his first wife before their divorce.

Andrei Zakharov, who first exposed her existence, stated, "It seems something happened in October 2021 that led her to delete her Instagram account and withdraw from the public eye. It appears someone told her to stop."

Meanwhile, Putin's secret sons, Ivan and Vladimir Jr., born to Alina Kabaeva, are said to live in complete isolation, away from the public. Earlier reports from The Dossier Centre, a Russian investigative journalism website, suggested the boys spend most of their time at Putin's heavily guarded estate near Lake Valdai, accompanied by nannies, teachers, and Kremlin guards.

Their identities are concealed, with no official records of their births, and they are provided with special documents typically reserved for high-ranking officials.

"Their birth dates are known only to their immediate family. They do not travel on regular flights; they have separate planes. They don't attend kindergartens or schools, but are taught by private governesses. They live in residences guarded by the FSO, sail on yachts, and travel by armoured trains," the report stated.
