Putin's secret sons: 'Completely isolated from the outside world'

The private life of the Kremlin boss is no longer communicated to the outside world. There is therefore a lot of mystery surrounding Vladimir Putin's current family situation.

The Russian president officially has two children with his ex-wife Lyudmila, whom Putin married in 1983 and from whom he is now divorced. Maria is now 39, Katerina 38. But Putin also has two sons with former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva (41). At least that is what Dossier Center, the research group of opposition activist Mikhail Khodorkovsky, claims. Ivan Putin is said to have been born in 2015, his brother Vladimir Jr. in 2019. According to some sources, there are even four children: two boys and two girls, twins.

Golden cage
According to Dossier Center, the children have no contact with other peers. They receive homeschooling, music lessons and have personal trainers for swimming and artistic gymnastics. In other words, they live in a golden cage, it sounds. 

Putin's children live on a vast estate on Lake Valdai, about 400 kilometers northwest of Moscow. This extremely luxurious private estate of Putin is completely closed off from the outside world and is very closely guarded. There is constant protection from the Russian security services and the only access is via a secret train track.
