They are living with cover documents.
The ruler of Russia has two young sons named Ivan and Vladimir. Their mother is a former gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The Dossier Investigation Center says.
It is reported that Putin's first son Ivan was born in 2015, and Vladimir in 2019. Their photos are publicly available, but journalists did not show them for ethical reasons. His children are living with cover documents, moving on private planes and yachts associated with Putin, under the protection of the FSO, not appearing in public places, and living in presidential residences, the investigation reads. The Dossier was allegedly sourced from a person working at Putin's residence. “He often sees the children of the head of state, although he does not communicate with them daily, and agreed to talk about it on condition of anonymity,” the investigation reads.
Journalists have previously reported that Putin and Kabaeva have children. In particular, the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung claimed that Putin had two sons in 2015 and 2019, one of them in Switzerland. It was also alleged that Kabaeva gave birth to his second child in Moscow under the supervision of a Swiss doctor. The names of the children are called for the first time.
According to the Dossier investigation, Ivan and Vladimir live in Putin's residences: in particular, a training center has been opened specifically for them in Valdai. Governors work with children, and teachers for them were sought through the website of the English Nanny agency. After the invasion of Ukraine, employers began to give preference to English teachers from South Africa, which the Russian authorities consider a "friendly country". Under the terms of the employer, teachers are prohibited from leaving the territory of the residence. The ad reads the family is “living in isolation.”
Teaching staff do not communicate directly with parents of children, taking orders from family assistants. In addition, Alina Kabaeva's cousin Oksana Fedina communicates with governors and nannies, posing as the boys' mother. The eldest son plays hockey (sometimes together with his father) on a specially built rink, but Alina Kabaeva watches the game not in public - from a box hidden behind mirror glass. At the same time, Ivan allegedly participates in competitions in gymnastics, but where such competitions are held is not specified.
Putin's sons communicate with their peers on holidays, as a rule, these are children from Alina Kabaeva's inner circle.
The investigation also states that teachers of Putin's sons receive salaries through the clinics of the My Medical Center, formerly SOGAZ. Many of Putin's friends and acquaintances visit this clinic.
Since 2020, at least 10 foreign teachers have allegedly signed a contract with the My Medical Center. They are employed as translators, “but everyone receives significantly more than a qualified linguist would expect.” It is alleged that among the alleged teachers of Putin's children, in addition to citizens of South Africa, there were citizens of Britain and New Zealand.
There are no Kremlin comments in the investigation. Putin has never publicly acknowledged that he has sons. At the same time, he has repeatedly said that in his family there are children with whom he communicates. He recently noted that younger members of his family are learning Chinese.
