Vladimir Putin’s alleged love child, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, is rumored to be living and DJing in Paris under the name Luiza Rozova.
According to an investigation by Ukrainian news program TSN, Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s alleged 21-year-old love child, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, is living in Paris and DJing there as a hobby under the name Luiza Rozova.
Putin has two confirmed daughters with his ex-wife, Lyudmila Ocheretnaya, and he’s rumored to have conceived of Elizaveta outside of wedlock with a woman named Svetlana Krivonogikh. According to previous reports, the latter uses the name Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova. The middle name translates to “daughter of Oleg,” presumably to imply that she is the daughter of the late Oleg Rudnov, a media manager who carried out various tasks for the Russian president.
According to the news agency Agentsvo, the name Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova appeared on flight leaks tied to Krivonogikh’s phone number and date of birth. She also previously played a DJ set at the Rovesknik in Moscow, which The Moscow Times noted for its controversial reception among the “progressive” establishment’s supporters.
Krivonogikh was reported to be Putin’s offspring in 2020, and the revelation didn’t seem to have weighed on her heavily at the time. In a Clubhouse interview shortly afterward, she told a Proekt journalist that she was “very grateful” for the publicity.
“I’d hit a rut in life. Things had stagnated,” she said, according to The Independent. “I’m very grateful that I got this opportunity – that I lit up like this and people saw my account [on Instagram]. I’ve never tried to be popular, but … I’m feeling great, so don’t you worry about me.”
While the Luiza Rozova Instagram account is currently set to private, TSN reports that its posts show Krivonogikh “having fun with friends, going out dancing, and listening to music.”
