Hidden from ordinary Russians, Vladimir Putin and his gymnast lover Alina Kabaeva live like a tsar and tsarina with their children, a new investigation claims.
The report by the Proekt independent media group reveals their secret life at a forest palace in Valdai, where Kabaeva had her own luxury ‘wooden mansion’, 250 miles north-west of Moscow.
The children are ‘underage’ – which is why Proekt has not disclosed information about the possible heirs of the Russian president, including their number and gender.
‘However, we will tell you where they are hiding,’ the publication says.
There have been previous rumours that Putin, 70, and Kabaeva, 39, share several children.
