Scandal Surrounding Putin's Alleged Daughter: Anti-War Art and Spicy Connections in the Paris Art Scene

It's a story that would make Hollywood screenwriters envious: Elizaveta Krivonogikh, who is widely considered to be Vladimir Putin's third, illegitimate daughter, is apparently involved at the heart of the Paris anti-war art scene. This explosive connection was uncovered by Russian artist Nastya Rodionova and has since caused astonishment and heated debates. No wonder, as Luiza Rudnova, as the young woman calls herself, is allegedly curating the renowned Parisian galleries "Studio Albatros" and "L Galerie" of the "L Association."
Anti-War Art and Putin's Alleged Daughter: A Scandal?
The "L Association" is known for providing a platform for Russian and Ukrainian exiled artists to deliver their anti-war messages. Since the Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022, these galleries have hosted over 200 exhibitions, half of which featured works by exiled artists from Russia. The irony is hard to miss: while Vladimir Putin wages war, his alleged daughter is supposedly involved in a place where the war is denounced in all its facets.
The Great Dismay Among Artists
The reaction from the art scene was not long in coming. Nastya Rodionova, who has herself received political asylum in France, expressed her outrage: "We need to know who we are working with and decide if we are ready for it. My personal answer in this case is: no." Many of her colleagues share this view and are stunned. The demand for transparency is growing louder, as it is deemed irresponsible to withhold such crucial information.
The Wild Rumors About Putin's Third Fatherhood
But where do the speculations about Elizaveta Krivonogikh and Vladimir Putin come from? The rumors are not new and are based on extensive investigative research by the Russian media outlet "Project" from 2021. At that time, it was revealed that the Kremlin chief is said to have a child with the former cleaning lady Svetlana Krivonogikh. The hottest evidence was a scientific facial comparison study by the British University of Bradford, which determined a more than 70 percent probability of a relationship between Putin and Elizaveta. The resemblance is said to be astonishing!
From Cleaning Room to Multi-Billion Empire: The Meteoric Rise of Her Mother
Another piece of evidence that keeps the rumor mill churning is the fairy-tale rise of Elizaveta's mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh. From a cleaning lady to a multi-billionaire overnight? Sounds like a fairy tale, but it is likely reality. She is said to own shares in the state bank Rossiya and several luxurious properties and hotel resorts. Allegedly, all gifts from friends and acquaintances of the Kremlin chief. The British Parliament even placed Svetlana Krivonogikh on the sanctions list against Russia in 2023. And did you know that Elizaveta's patronymic "Vladimirovna"—derived from Vladimir—is traditionally based on the father's first name in Russia? Coincidence? You decide!
What Does the Gallerist Say About This Hornet's Nest?
Despite the loud criticism, Dmitri Dolinski, the president of the "L Association," remains unimpressed. He defends his decision with the words: "I believe children are not responsible for their parents." He emphasizes that Rudnova has not lived in Russia for years and none of the artists have any reason to believe that she supports the Russian government or the war. Elizaveta herself, who is said to be studying art and cultural management in Paris and doing an internship there, remains silent on the allegations. One thing is clear: if the paternity is true, this situation is unlikely to please Vladimir Putin.
