Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is supposedly living with his gymnast girlfriend on a sizable country estate that has multiple opulent residences and a playground for their kids. Alina Kabaeva, a 39-year-old Olympic rhythmic gymnast champion, has been associated with Vladimir Putin for a long time. According to a report from the Russian investigative news website The Project, the estate is situated on Lake Valdai, which is in the region of Moscow to the northwest.
According to the article, Vladimir Putin purchased the property in Cyprus for $120 million (£100 million) using a slush money.
The residence is about 13,000 square feet in size and was fully constructed of wood in the manner of a Russian dacha, according to the article, which also stated that the building started in 2020 and was finished in two years.
Other female relatives of Alina Kabaeva have also been observed, according to the article, which also cited unnamed officials who claimed to have seen youngsters on the property of the estate. While Vladimir Putin’s bedroom is more conventional, several images on the website show golden chairs grouped around a glass table and a spherical chandelier with golden leaves hanging from the ceiling.
The team of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny first brought attention to the home in 2021, claiming that budget monies were used to construct the house. Nonetheless, both the Kremlin and Alina Kabaeva have consistently denied that she is dating Vladimir Putin.
Unnamed officials who frequented Vladimir Putin’s private events were reported in the article as claiming that while they had never seen the two of them together, they were certain that they were dating.
In 2014, Vladimir Putin named Alina Kabaeva to oversee the National Media Group of Russia. She earns roughly £8.6 million a year thanks to the post.
