**PARIS, FRANCE** – A 21-year-old woman living in Paris and working as a DJ, identified as Luiza Rozova or Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova, is at the center of a renewed controversy surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin. Several investigative reports allege she is Putin’s illegitimate daughter, a claim she denies.
Rozova’s alleged connection to Putin stems from her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, a former cleaner who amassed a reported £83 million fortune after Putin became president in 2000. Krivonogikh’s wealth includes multiple properties in Monte Carlo, a yacht, and stakes in significant Russian businesses, including a key media group and a ski resort. Leaked financial documents, such as the Pandora Papers, further highlight Krivonogikh’s rapid accumulation of wealth.
Rozova’s patronymic, Olegovna, suggesting her father’s name is Oleg, is particularly intriguing. According to Ukrainian television channel TSN, Oleg Rudnov, a close Putin associate involved in luxury real estate deals, died in 2015. While Rozova’s birth certificate reportedly omits her father’s name, she acknowledges a physical resemblance to Putin but dismisses any familial connection.
The independent news organization Proekt, which initially broke the story, highlights a previous friendship between Krivonogikh and Putin dating back to his time as mayor of St. Petersburg. Rozova, who previously maintained social media accounts showcasing her life in Paris, deactivated them in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, after facing online criticism and accusations.
Despite the allegations and the extensive reporting, Rozova expressed a surprising lack of resentment towards the media attention, stating on the Clubhouse app that the increased publicity had a positive effect on her otherwise “stagnant” life. The ongoing saga continues to fuel speculation surrounding Putin’s personal life and the extent of his influence on Russian wealth and power.
