The alleged daughter of Vladimir Putin, Elizaveta Krivonogikh is living in Paris independent media outlet Proekt has reported. Also known as Luiza Rozova, the Kremlin has naturally denied and dismissed any allegations. Whilst Elizaveta is argued to have an uncanny resemblance to Putin, she replied that “there are a lot of people who look like Mr. Putin” to a GQ Magazine interview.

Her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh was born in Leningrad [now St. Petersburg] in 1975. Svetlana attended Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance in the Department of International Economic Relations receiving her qualification in 2000. According to reports, Svetlana and Putin took the same flight from St. Petersburg to Moscow in 1999. Svetlana is claimed to have been involved in a long-term relationship with Putin for years, it is unknown if she is still involved with Putin.

Svetlana’s alleged relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin was rumoured to have begun in the 1990s when Svetlana was reported to be working as a cleaner. Svetlana was apparently living in a communal apartment that her family shared with four others. After meeting Putin, she moved into apartments known for St. Petersburg elites. This is not unheard of in Russia, Putin’s former St. Petersburg chef Yevgeny Prigozhin became the head of private military contractor the Wagner Group.

An investigation into the unlikely $100 million wealth of Svetlana, who owes her fortune to the alleged romantic relationship with Putin by independent media outlet Proekt in 2020 also uncovered the connection to Elizaveta. Svetlana became widely known by the release of the Pandora Papers published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists [ICIJ] in October 2021. The UK government imposed sanctions on Svetlana, identifying her as a leading Bank Rossiya shareholder and the National Media Group consistently promoting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Andrey Zakharov, one of the journalists involved with the Proekt media investigation, was allegedly engaged to Elizaveta. She was known to post on a regular basis about elite nightclubs and private jets. Her social media accounts disappeared once the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. The German newspaper Bild reported Elizaveta posting on social media site Telegram “It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again. It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life.” was rumoured to work at two Paris art galleries known for exhibiting anti-war art.
