VLADIMIR Putin's alleged secret daughter is reportedly working at two Parisian art galleries that showcase anti-Kremlin and anti-war exhibitions.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, 22 – also known as Luiza Rozova and now Elizaveta Rudnova – is said to be rubbing shoulders with Russian dissidents and Ukrainian artists in the French capital.

Reports say she is working at L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil, despite being the daughter of a regime responsible for the war they oppose.
She also reportedly dropped the Putin-linked name and adopted one tied to Oleg Rudnov, a late Vlad ally - in an apparent attempt to mask her ties to the Kremlin tyrant.
Her role as gallery manager includes helping organise shows and make videos, according to outlet Meduza.
But it has seemed to spark fury among exiled Russians and Ukrainians.
Artist Nastya Rodionova, who fled Russia in 2022, said she couldn't stay silent.
In a Facebook post, she wrote: 'It's important to say that I believe in the presumption of innocence and that children are not responsible for the crimes of their parents.
'But with the war reaching its heights it is inadmissible to allow a person who comes from a family of beneficiaries of [Putin's] regime to come into confrontation with the victims of that regime.
'We need to know who we are working with and decide whether we are ready for that. My personal answer in this case is no.'
Gallery director Dmitry Dolinsky, meanwhile, defended Rudnova's role.
Putin warns Trump he 'will have to respond' to Ukraine's daring drone attack in hour-long phone call with president
'She looks like Putin but so do 100,000 other people. I haven't seen a DNA test.'
Some insiders back her, calling her a 'cultured person' and 'excellent worker'.
But Rodionova hit back, warning that victims of the war shouldn't be forced to share space with anyone tied to the regime – alleged daughter or not.
Rudnova's mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, was sanctioned by the UK in 2023 and linked to Putin's inner circle by independent Russian media.
She reportedly owns property worth $100million and was outed as Putin's former mistress by the Proekt investigative team.
Elizaveta vanished from Russian social media shortly before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
She once flaunted a lavish lifestyle on Instagram, posting photos in designer clothes, sipping champagne, and DJing under the name Luiza Rozova.
Ukrainian TV later claimed she was living in Paris with a passport under the name Rudnova, allegedly ditching the patronymic Vladimirovna, which would confirm her father's name as Vladimir.

Born in March 2003, Elizaveta has never publicly confirmed a link to the Russian tyrant.
The Kremlin has never confirmed her existence either.
But the timing of her birth, her resemblance to Putin, and her mother's major financial rise have fuelled years of speculation.
Kremlin critics say she is part of the hidden empire Putin has built for his inner circle and family.
Officially, Putin only acknowledges two daughters, Maria and Katerina, from his marriage to Lyudmila Putina, whom he divorced in 2014.
But it's long been rumoured he has more children — including two sons with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva.
