Vladimir Putin’s secret 10-year-old son has been seen for the first time, according to an anti-Kremlin website.
Bombshell new images of the child – who the Moscow dictator reportedly shares with his gymnast lover Alina Kabaeva – have recently been unveiled.
The VChK-OGPU channel recently released a photo of a boy deemed as the most mysterious and perhaps isolated child in Russia, according to a report from an anti-Kremlin Telegram channel connected to law enforcement and secret services. The images of this child, believed to be associated with the Moscow ruler and his gymnast partner Alina Kabaeva, have caused quite a stir.
It continues: ‘This is Ivan Vladimirovich Putin.
‘He hardly communicates with other children, spending all his time with guards, governesses, [and] teachers.’
The boy appears to resemble Putin in his Soviet childhood.
Ivan has a younger brother Vladimir junior, now four, who is not pictured, according to the website.
Putin has never confirmed the young family he has with Olympic Gold-medal winning Kabaeva, 41, three decades his junior.
But in an unguarded moment five months ago, he referred to watching fairy tale films with ‘my little ones’.
State propaganda channel RT translated his words as ‘my junior family members’.

Speculations surround the alleged relationship between Putin and Olympic Gold-medalist Kabaeva, who is significantly younger than him, with whom he is said to have a family. However, Putin has never openly acknowledged this supposed connection. The photo in question is said to feature Alina Kabaeva alongside a boy purported to be Putin’s son named Ivan.
The discovery of the photo of a boy considered to be highly secretive and isolated in Russia was made by the VChK-OGPU channel, which is linked to law enforcement and secret services critical of the Kremlin. Images of this boy, allegedly associated with the Moscow leader and his partner Alina Kabaeva, have been revealed, sparking intrigue. Rumors persist about Putin’s unconfirmed relationship with Kabaeva, an Olympic champion significantly younger than him. Although reports suggest they share a family, Putin has yet to publicly acknowledge this. The photo shows Alina Kabaeva with a boy believed to be Putin’s son, Ivan.
Putin is highly secretive about his private life. ‘I have a private life in which I do not permit interference. It must be respected,’ divorced Putin barked in one interview
Putin told a marathon televised question and answer session: ‘Our historic fairy tales and epic tales are being revived.
‘I myself sometimes watch these with pleasure with my little ones.’
A flicker of a smile appeared on his face as he mentioned them.
While Putin and the Kremlin have always denied a relationship between him and glamorous Kabaeva, independent Russian journalists have established they have two sons together.
Until now, the children have never been seen and live out of sight behind his high-security palace walls.
Putin is also known to have grandchildren from his two eldest daughters – Maria Vorontsova, 39, and Katerina Tikhonova, 38, a high-kicking ‘rock’n’roll’ dancer.
Putin also has another secret daughter Ekaterina Krivonogikh – aka Luiza Rozova – born to his former mistress, cleaner turned £75 million multimillionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh, 49, who holds shares in a top bank and owns a prominent St Petersburg striptease club.
Luiza is known to have lived in the West – in Paris – during the war in Ukraine.
Putin is highly secretive about his private life.
‘I have a private life in which I do not permit interference. It must be respected,’ divorced Putin barked in one interview.
He deplored ‘those who with their snotty noses and erotic fantasies prowl into others’ lives’.
Kabaeva in 2004 posed almost nude – except for furs – for Maxim magazine in Russia and was described as ‘full of sex’ by a photographer.
Earlier – after being temporarily banned in a doping scandal in 2001 – she was photographed naked but for strategically-placed lilacs as part of a Russian project ‘Twelve Months’ by Ekaterina Rozhdestvenskaya.
Later, she appeared on a Russian show called One Hundred Questions for Adults when she was questioned about her private life by an audience of children.
In one clip, was asked by a young boy if she had met her ‘ideal man’ to which she replied giggling: ‘I have.’
She was then asked who the mystery man in her life was but would only reveal ‘he’s a very good man, a great man’ though she added: ”I love him very much.’
Kabaeva said: ‘Sometimes you feel so happy that you even feel scared.’
The pictures were published by VChK-OGPU soon after its main channel was deleted this month on Telegram, in an apparent move by the Putin authorities.
Last September, Dossier Centre investigative news outlet confirmed the longstanding speculation that Kabaeva had two sons with Putin.
Astonishingly, the boys secretly have had British and New Zealand citizens as governesses, but now due to Putin’s war, the Russian ruler recruits South African citizens to teach English to his heirs.
The children live under the permanent guard of FSO [Federal Protective Service] officers.
‘The brothers have little contact with their peers and see little of their parents, but they appreciate the rare moments they manage to spend with their father,’ said Dossier Centre
They do not attend schools and are taught in Putin’s palaces like the royal children of the last Russian tsar.
This week’s revelations are likely to infuriate Putin who has kept the sons hidden and even refuses to acknowledge his relationship with Olympic gold-medal winning Kabaeva, 41, which has existed since 2008, and perhaps earlier.
Dossier Centre said it had found pictures of the boys but did not publish them for ‘ethnical reasons’, yet believes the lavish lifestyle of the secret children is of legitimate interest.
