The alleged “secret daughter” of Russian President Vladimir Putin unleashed a mysterious social media post this week with information about her alleged father that could change the tide of the war with Ukraine.
According to The New York Post, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to be Putin’s youngest daughter, spoke out against her so-called father in a cryptic post condemning the man who “destroyed” her and “took millions of lives.”
Krivonogikh shared the messages on her private Telegram.
The Telegram chat, dubbed “Art of Luiza,” references her work pseudonym, Luiza Rozova.
In recent weeks, Krivonogikh has also become more open on Instagram as she’s started to share more images of herself.
“It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,” she wrote.
Krivonogikh didn’t explicitly name Putin in either post, but she also never shot down the ongoing theories surrounding her true connection to Putin.
Theories around an alleged “love child” began in 2003 when Krivonogikh was born after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the president’s then-housekeeper.
The theory around her being Putin’s daughter exploded after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing her “phenomenal resemblance” to Putin.
He isn’t listed on her birth certificate, but “Vladimirovna” was included, translating to “daughter of Vladimir.”
In 2021, slain journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny exposed Krivonogikh’s Instagram, which highlighted her life of luxury and her family’s staggering wealth that many have attributed to their connection with the disgraced Russian president.
“It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,” she added.
Krivonogikh once celebrated life in the spotlight, but reports say she retreated after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021 and her Instagram was suddenly shut down.
She’s since returned to social media, but was more reserved at first, hiding her face in many photos.
She’s now appearing to support Ukraine after previously mourning her inability to “make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg.”
According to new reports, Krivonogikh has since denounced her once lavish lifestyle of obscene wealth and speaks openly against her supposed father’s war efforts in Ukraine while working in a Parisian art gallery specializing in anti-war works.
The Post also reported that Putin is also rumored to share two secret sons, a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old, with his former gymnast fling, Olympic gold medalist Alina Kabaeva.
