Author : BNR Web Editors
An illegitimate daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to be working in Paris for galleries where she exhibits anti-war art. This was reported by the Russian independent media outlet The Moscow Times. The outlet bases its claim on statements by Nastya Rodionova, an artist exiled from Russia.

Last year it was already known that Putin's illegitimate daughter, conceived in 2003 during his marriage to Lyudmila Putina, would be in Paris. The Ukrainian TV channel TSN was able to report this at the end of last year. She would occasionally DJ and she studied at a school near the Arc de Triomphe. She also obtained her diploma there last year.

The Kremlin has never acknowledged that the woman in question, now 22 years old, is Putin's daughter. However, there are many indications. The Russian medium Projekt already revealed many details about the woman named Elizaveta in 2020. They managed to get their hands on her birth certificate. It shows that she was born on March 3, 2003, during the period that Putin was allegedly having an affair with her mother Svetlana Krivonogikh. It is striking that no father is mentioned on the certificate.

One indication that Putin is her father is that she also goes by the name 'Vladimirovna', which means 'daughter of Vladimir'. TSN obtained additional details such as leaked flight data. It shows that a certain 'Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova' was on board a plane to France. That name matches the name by which Putin's alleged daughter is known in Russia.

Stepfather
Rudnova is descended from Oleg Rudnov, a former ally of Putin who died in 2015. The idea is that Rudnov did the Russian president a favor by adopting the daughter as a stepdaughter. There is also a link between Rudnov and Elizaveta's mother. After the affair, her mother received shares in the Russian Bank Rossiya, an investment bank of which Rudnov was the director, as hush money. This while she was originally a cleaner.

Not only did Putin's ex-mistress get her hands on shares. She is also said to have received very expensive real estate in Moscow and on Kamenny Island near St. Petersburg. She also became part owner of a ski resort and a theater in the Leningrad region. In 2023, the ex-mistress ended up on the British sanctions list as a 'shareholder in Bank Rossiya and the National Media Group, which consistently promotes the Russian attack on Ukraine'.

Pacifism
That has given her daughter, Elizaveta, the opportunity to live a life of luxury as the daughter of an oligarch. In Paris, she works as a DJ and studied at a private school. Now that she has a diploma, she is said to work in the management team of galleries of L Association. Galleries of the organization are known for exhibiting art with political and pacifist messages. The organization behind the galleries confirmed to the exiled Russian artist that an 'Elizaveta Krivonogikh' is employed by them.
