Coming up next on the agenda, we have an interesting topic to discuss - the elusive family of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite his efforts to keep his personal life under wraps, two of Putin's daughters have recently appeared in public, shedding some light on the secretive family tree.
It is a well-known fact that Putin takes great pride in his family heritage, tracing it all the way back to the 1600s. In fact, at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, he proudly displayed a detailed family tree for all to see. However, the names and details of his partners and children were noticeably absent, censored by the Kremlin.
But despite the secrecy surrounding his personal life, two of Putin's daughters have made their presence known at the forum. 39-year-old Maria Vorontsova, an endocrinologist, spoke about Russia's bioeconomy, while her younger sister, 37-year-old Katerina Tikhonova, a talented dancer and head of the National Intellectual Development Foundation, participated in a roundtable discussion on the defense industry.
Interestingly, while the sisters are making waves at the forum, the general public is still not allowed to know about their familial connection to Putin. It seems that even though they are seen as future politicians, their link to the Russian leader must remain a secret.
Speaking of secrets, the Putin family tree seems to have some glaring omissions. While it traces back 13 generations to their peasant roots in the Tver region, it abruptly stops at Putin himself. Not even his ex-wife Lyudmila, who was once Russia's first lady, is mentioned. Neither are his other daughter Luiza Rozova, who he shares with his former cleaner and millionaire bank owner Svetlana Krivonogikh. And let's not forget about his rumored wife, rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who is believed to have two or three children with Putin.
It's no surprise that these missing family members have caused speculation and rumors to swirl. Luiza is thought to be living in a Western country, far from the turmoil in Russia, while Maria and Katerina are currently grounded due to the conflict in Ukraine.
One notable mention in the family tree is Putin's paternal grandfather, Spiridon Putin, who served as a chef for various Soviet leaders, including Stalin. But the absence of his own family members raises questions about his priorities and values.
Speaking of values, Putin often lectures Russians on the importance of having large families. On International Women's Day, he emphasized the role of motherhood in a woman's life, regardless of her career or accomplishments. He also stressed the importance of having at least three children to ensure the growth of the population.
With his own family tree seeming incomplete, it's interesting to hear Putin's views on the importance of family. It seems that even for a powerful leader like him, family remains a crucial aspect of life. But as for the missing pieces of his own family tree, it seems they will remain a mystery for now.
