Speculation regarding Putin’s relationship with Alina Kabaeva began whilst he was still married to his first wife {By Rhona Shennan Monday, 25th April 2022}

In the past, Putin has condemned those who have tried to pry their way into his personal life. Once, when asked about his possible romance with Kabaeva, he replied: “I’ve always had a negative feeling about people poking their snotty noses and erotic fantasies into other people’s lives.”

 

Who is Alina Kabaeva?

 

Alina Kabaeva is a 38 year old Russian politician and retired Olympic rhythmic gymnast.

 

Born in 1983, Kabaeva started her rhythmic gymnastics career at just three years old - and at 15, she won the European Championships in Portugal. She was, at the time, the youngest member of the Russian squad.

 

Kabaeva is one of the most decorated gymnasts in the field of rhythmic gymnastics, with two Olympic medals, 14 World Championship medals and 21 European Championship medals.

 

She became the European Champion again in 1999 before going on to win the World Title in Osaka.

 

She announced her retirement from the sport in 2004, however returned for a few years before properly retiring in 2007.

 

Following her retirement, Kabaeva was one of six Russian athletes torch bearers who carried the Olympic flame during the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics - something which was highly controversial at the time due to her alleged relationship with Putin.

 

Kabaeva has been a member of the Public Chamber of Russia since 2005, and since 2008 has been the chairwoman of the Public Council of the National Media Group. Between 2007 and 2014, Kabaeva was a Member of the Russia Parliament, the State Duma, representing the United Russia party.

 

During her time as a Member of Parliament, Kabaeva voted on a number of controversial laws that were adopted in 2012 and 2013.

 

This included the Anti-Magnitsky bill, which banned the inter-country adoption of Russian orphans in the US, and the Russian gay propaganda law which made the distribution of “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships” amongst minors a punishable offence.

 

Kabaeva has also tried her hand at a number of other ventures, including modelling and a failed singing career.

 

Are Alina Kabaeva and Vladimir Putin in a relationship?

 

Rumours regarding their relationship have been circulating for years, with Kabaeva being dubbed as “Russia’s First Mistress” and the “Secret First Lady”. She has gone on record to deny being in a relationship with Putin, however speculation has continued.

 

In 2008, Moskovsky Korrespondent reported that Putin had plans to divorce his wife and marry Kabaeva - however the claim was denied and the paper was swiftly shut down.

 

In 2016, after Putin’s divorce from his first wife had been finalised, Kabaeva was seen in public wearing a ring on her ring finger, which she was also seen wearing in 2017 as well. However she repeatedly dodged questions about the ring.

 

Their relationship has never been confirmed by either party, and the Kremlin has always strongly denied it.

 

In the past, Putin has condemned those who have tried to pry their way into his personal life. Once, when asked about his possible romance with Kabaeva, he replied: “I’ve always had a negative feeling about people poking their snotty noses and erotic fantasies into other people’s lives.”

 

Previously, Kabaeva had been engaged to a policeman called David Museliani in 2004, however they separated in 2005.

 

Do Alina Kabaeva and Vladimir Putin have children?

 

Kabaeva and Putin are rumoured to have four children together, with a source reportedly telling Page Six that they have “two young boys and twin girls who were born in Switzerland” and that “the kids all have Swiss passports”.

 

The source added: “While Putin carries out his assault on the Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland - for now, at least.”

 

My comment:

 

When asked about his private life, he replied: “I’ve always had a negative feeling about people poking their snotty noses and erotic fantasies into other people’s lives.” That’s fair enough! so why is he poking his snotty nose into ‘GLBT’s personal lives and using it as a basis and justification for Ukraine’s invasion?

 

What's good enough for the goose is good for the gander? no need to kill innocents and start WW3 over others’ personal private lives!

 

Putin is just a dirty little old man you couldn’t even trust your dog with!
