'Am I responsible for my family's actions?' Putin's alleged secret daughter denounces him; complains of being unheard by family
The alleged secret daughter of Russian President
Vladimir Putin
has expressed criticism of her father through cryptic messages, condemning the individual whom she claimed had 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives.'
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, aged 22, a Paris-based art school graduate believed to be Putin's youngest daughter, posted these messages on her private Telegram account, coinciding with her increased visibility on Instagram, where she's begun sharing more self-portraits, New York Post reported.
Without naming President Putin in her post she wrote, "It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again," according to Bild. "It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life," she continued and added, "Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?"
Her Telegram discussion group, titled "Art of Luiza," references her artistic alias Luiza Rozova.
She has never denied the widespread speculation about her paternity. The young artist was born in 2003, reportedly following a relationship between Putin and her mother Svetlana, who worked as his housekeeper at the time.
This revelation emerged from a 2020 investigation by Russian news outlet Proekt, noting her striking resemblance to Putin. Her birth certificate omits his name but includes "Vladimirovna," meaning "daughter of Vladimir."

In 2021, the late journalist and opposition figure Alexei Navalny revealed Krivonogikh's Instagram account, which displayed her affluent lifestyle and her family's substantial wealth, commonly attributed to their association with the Russian president.
Initially embracing public attention, Krivonogikh withdrew following Russia's Ukraine invasion in 2021 when her Instagram account was deactivated. Upon her return, she initially maintained a lower profile, often concealing her face in photographs.
Her stance has apparently shifted regarding the conflict, after previously lamenting her inability to "make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg." She has renounced her former luxurious lifestyle and openly criticises her presumed father's actions in Ukraine while working at a Parisian gallery focusing on anti-war exhibitions.
She has additionally adopted the pseudonym Elizaveta Rudnova, after Putin's deceased associate Oleg Rudnov, appearing to mock her contested parentage.
Nevertheless, Putin's critics remain sceptical of her transformed image, arguing against her employment in settings where she might encounter Ukrainians, regardless of her position.
Putin is additionally rumoured to have two secret sons, aged 10 and 6, with former gymnast and Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva.

ED need not act like crook while probing crooks: SC
NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Thursday said Enforcement Directorate need not behave like a crook while investigating crooks under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and that it must operate within the four walls of the rule of law and established procedure. This oral observation came from a bench of Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan and N K Singh, which was hearing petitions seeking review of SC's 2023 judgment in the Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case where the apex court upheld the broad powers ED enjoyed under PMLA. Additional solicitor general S V Raju requested the court to examine whether the review petitioners have pointed out even a single "error apparent on the face of the judgment" to cross the "maintainability" threshhold. Justice Kant chanced upon a miscellaneous application (MA) filed by a person, facing ED probe, seeking to join the review proceedings. "What is this procedure of filing MAs two years after judgment was pronounced? The practice of waiting for judges, who delivered the judgment, to retire to file such an application is deplorable and amounts to forum shopping," he said. Taking a cue, Raju said these are influential and powerful people with huge money bags and they can resort to any tactics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo This triggered Justice Bhuyan, who said, "The crooks under investigation can resort to any tactics, but ED cannot behave like a crook. It has to investigate cases in accordance with law and the procedure laid down." Justice Bhuyan also flagged the low conviction rate in PMLA cases filed by ED. "I have observed in one of my judgments that ED has registered more than 5,000 ECIRs in the last five years but the rate of conviction is less than 10%. Even the minister admitted this in Parliament," he said. Raju, however, defended ED. "When an affluent or influential person is proceeded against, he engages a battery of lawyers, who flood the trial court with applications. The trial judge gets mired in disposing of the applications and gets little time to focus on conducting the trial in the main case," he said. Justice Kant said, "We are equally concerned about ED's image. You must improve your method of investigation and improve the rate of conviction. Why can't the govt set up fast-track special courts to conduct day-to-day trial of PMLA cases? Then the battery of lawyers would know that their delaying tactics would not work," he said. The bench then drifted towards the increasing possibility of cryptocurrency for money laundering. "We are not saying ban cryptocurrency. But there should be some regulation. Indian currency is also under certain regulations. Why can't crypto be subjected to regulations," it said.
