Vladimir Putin‘s secret daughter has come out publicly about her father for the first time in a series of cryptic social media posts.

Putin’s daughter

Elizaveta Krivonogikh, 22, who is a part-time DJ living in Paris, ranted about a man ‘who destroyed’ her life and explained her thoughts on the dictator’s war in Ukraine.

In her Telegram posts, the woman also known as Luiza Rozova alluded to ‘the man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine’- in what some have interpreted as a bitter rebuke of the man believed to be her father.

The posts do not explicitly mention Putin, however, in the context of widespread reports about her father’s actions in the war and his identity, her words were inferred as a dig at the leader.

In another post, the art school graduate posted her snap in a car alongside the caption: ‘It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again’. 

‘It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,’ reports Bild, which has access to the woman’s private Telegram channel ‘Art of Luiza’.

The young woman, who usually concealed her face in images posted to Instagram, has in recent days been pictured in a branch of the Russian café chain Surf Coffee.

Luiza was born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg and is widely believed to be the child of an affair between Putin and his former cleaner Svetlana Krivonogich.

Her birth certificate omits her father’s name, it mentions her patronymic ‘Vladimirovna,’ in a clue to her possible origins.
