Putin’s Alleged Daughter Signals Break from Kremlin
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, the woman widely believed to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s secret daughter, has resurfaced online after a long silence. In a series of Telegram posts, she spoke emotionally about a "man" who "destroyed" her and "took millions of lives." Though she didn’t name anyone, international media suggest her words point directly at Putin. Her comments come amid reports that she now manages two art galleries in Paris known for anti-war exhibitions.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Krivonogikh, who was formerly a prominent figure on social media, vanished from the public eye. Her appearance not only rekindles allegations about her alleged ties to Putin, but also portrays a complex background split between personal anguish and political shadows.
He regularly posted content about private planes and VIP events when Krivonogikh was active on social media.
However, her online presence vanished about 2022 when Russia began a full-scale war in Ukraine.She claims that revealing her face once more is "liberating" and that it makes her think of "who destroyed" her life. She is currently 22. Despite their ambiguity, her remarks are strongly suggestive of political repercussions and personal treachery.

Born in St Petersburg in 2003, Krivonogikh is rumoured to be the daughter of Putin and his former housekeeper, Svetlana Krivonogikh. In 2020, Russian investigative outlet Proekt alleged that she bears a striking resemblance to Putin. They also linked Svetlana's sudden wealth to a romantic relationship with a top Russian leader.
The Kremlin dismissed the claims as “unfounded and unconvincing.” Her pseudonym “Luiza Rozova” and her patronymic “Vladimirovna” have only added fuel to the speculation.
Krivonogikh now resides in Paris, according to a statement made earlier this year by Russian artist Nastya Rodionova. According to reports, she oversees two art galleries that specialize in anti-war artwork.
This is a significant departure from her former lifestyle and may reflect a change in her views toward her alleged father. Although she avoids making overt political statements, her involvement with anti-war spaces sends a strong message.

Rozova’s mother, Svetlana, owns shares in Bank Rossiya and the National Media Group—both seen as pro-Kremlin entities. In 2023, the UK sanctioned Svetlana for helping spread war propaganda.
Proekt previously linked her wealth to real estate deals under the name of Oleg Rudnov, a close Putin associate. Even Rozova’s alternate surname, “Rudnova,” hints at ties to that elite network.
Krivonogikh’s resurfacing is more than a personal moment. It reads as a quiet act of rebellion. She no longer flaunts wealth, nor does she hide in silence. Rather, she works in Paris amid voices that reject the war that her purported father initiated.
Her mysterious but powerful words hint at a reckoning with family, power, and identity. In a country where dissent is often repressed, her presence in the European art scene may be her most visible message to date.
