Russian President Vladimir Putin is reported to have two secret sons with former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The boys, Ivan, 9, and Vladimir Jr., 5, live a life of exceptional luxury, far from public scrutiny.
Details from The Dossier Centre reveal that the boys are raised in strict isolation and live in a heavily guarded estate by Lake Valdai, northwest of Moscow. The report, though not independently verified by the Hindustan Times, sheds light on Putin’s hidden family. According to the source, the children are under constant care by nannies, teachers, and Kremlin security personnel. They see their parents infrequently, mostly during late hours.
The report highlights the absence of any official records for Ivan and Vladimir Jr., who are provided with special documents typically reserved for high-security individuals. They do not travel on commercial flights or attend conventional schools. Instead, they are educated by private tutors, and their lives are closely guarded by the Federal Protective Service (FSO). The boys enjoy a secluded existence, including yacht outings and armored train rides.
Ivan was born in Switzerland in spring 2015, and Vladimir Jr. in Moscow in spring 2019. Despite Putin’s public reticence about his children, he has mentioned in passing to Siberian schoolchildren that the younger members of his family speak Chinese, in addition to learning English, German, and skiing. The report also notes that Putin occasionally plays ice hockey with Ivan at a private rink on his Valdai estate.
According to the Dossier Centre, Putin expressed great joy upon Ivan’s birth, exclaiming, “Hurray! Finally! A boy!” The report indicates that, despite limited time with his sons, Putin is reported to be very attentive and affectionate towards them, even more so than he was with his daughters.
