Putin’s Secret Daughter Speaks Out
The hidden daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed her feelings towards her father, denouncing him as the person who has “destroyed” her and “taken millions of lives.” Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris, shared this sentiment in a cryptic post on her private Telegram, coinciding with her increased presence on Instagram where she is sharing more images.
“It feels liberating to show my face to the world again,” she noted, reflecting on her experiences. “It reminds me of who I was and who destroyed my life.”
In her Telegram chat, named “Louis’ Art,” she adopts the pseudonym Louisa Lozova for her creative work.
While she didn’t outright mention Putin, the implications about their relationship are hard to miss, although he hasn’t denied the speculation about their connection. Krivonogikh was born in 2003, reportedly following an incident between Putin and his former housekeeper, Svetlana.
The story first gained traction in a 2020 investigation by the Russian media outlet Proekt, which noted the significant similarities between Krivonogikh and Putin. Although his name does not appear on her birth certificate, it’s noted with “Vladimirovna,” indicating “Daughter of Vladimir.”
In 2021, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny highlighted Krivonogikh’s Instagram, bringing her into the spotlight.
Initially, Krivonogikh embraced her life in the public eye but withdrew after the onset of the Ukraine conflict in 2021, leading to her Instagram account being shut down. Recently, she has returned to social media, albeit with a more cautious approach—sometimes obscuring her face in photos.
Her tone seems to have shifted dramatically; she’s now vocal about the war, contrasting her previous comments lamenting her inability to enjoy her beloved St. Petersburg.
Krivonogikh has openly criticized the lavish lifestyle associated with the previous Gucci-centric culture, emphasizing her stance against her father’s actions in Ukraine while working at an art gallery in Paris that features anti-war art.
Additionally, she has adopted the pseudonym Elizaveta Rudnova, possibly in homage to a late ally of Putin’s, Oleg Rudnov.
Nevertheless, critics of Putin are skeptical of her transformation and question whether she should be in a position where she interacts with Ukrainians, considering her familial ties.
“Am I really responsible for my family’s actions? Who can truly hear me?” she pondered.
There’s also speculation that Putin has two secret sons, ages 10 and 6, with Alina Kabaeva, a former gymnast and Olympic gold medalist.
