Though she did not name Putin directly, Krivonogikh has not denied longstanding reports linking her to the Russian leader. Her identity first emerged in a 2020 investigation by the Russian media outlet
Proekt
, which reported on her 'phenomenal resemblance' to Putin. She was born in 2003 to Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman identified as a former housekeeper for Putin. While Putin is not named on her birth certificate, she was given the patronymic 'Vladimirovna,' meaning 'daughter of Vladimir.'
Artist shifts toward anti-war message amid continued criticism
Live Events
Following initial media attention, Krivonogikh's lifestyle, documented on Instagram and characterized by luxury, was spotlighted by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2021. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine later that year, her public presence diminished, and her Instagram account was deactivated. She has since returned to the platform but initially withheld her identity in photos.
Krivonogikh now appears to be distancing herself from her past, working at a Paris art gallery focused on anti-war pieces. She has also adopted a new pseudonym, Elizaveta Rudnova, reportedly referencing Oleg Rudnov, a deceased ally of President Putin.
While she has been outspoken in her condemnation of the war in Ukraine, some critics question her authenticity and argue she should not be in positions where she may interact with Ukrainians. In response, Krivonogikh wrote, 'Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?'
In earlier posts, she reflected on her former lifestyle, expressing disillusionment with the wealth and notoriety that came from her family connections. Her public statements now reflect a shift toward advocacy and personal independence.

Trump takes jab at Biden, says his administration prevented Russia-Ukraine war from becoming a WWIII
Washington, Aug 9 (UNI) Taking a jab at his predecessor Joe Biden, US President Donald Trump said that the Russia-Ukraine war could have escalated into a third world war, were it for his administration. He further argued that global tensions peaked when relations between Moscow and Washington hit their lowest point during the Biden administration, reports RT. Since his return to office, Trump has resumed diplomatic ties with Moscow which had been virtually suspended in 2022 during the Biden administration, and has indeed made calls with both Putin and Zelensky to come to a settlement. However, while he shares good ties with the Russian President, his efforts have not yielded much success while his policies have been a lot more anti-Kremlin, weaponising trade in an attempt to get Moscow to stop its attack on Kyiv, targeting both Moscow as well as Russia affiliated nations. Speaking to journalists at the White House on Friday, Trump claimed that, if not for his administration's actions, the Ukraine conflict 'would have ended up being a world war." 'We've brought it down a long way, but when I first came in, I thought, 'Wow, this thing is really bad,'' Trump added. 'Now the only question is: when is it going to be settled? And it could be very soon,' he said. The president again termed the ongoing war 'Biden's war' and criticised what he described as the previous administration's vast military support for Kyiv. 'Through Biden and his people, we're probably in for $350 billion,' he said. Trump has claimed that he aims to recover this sum through a rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine, which he states could refill the US coffers. However, many analysts have called the move a folly, as majority of the minerals lie in areas such as Donetsk and Luhansk – both of which have become a part of Russia. While Washington has echoed Moscow's position on the conflict – terming it as a proxy war against Russia – the Trump administration has continued with its weapons exports to Ukraine, supplying the country with both Patriot missile batteries, as well as Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, artillery systems, and anti-tank munitions. Kremlin officials have stated that securing a peaceful resolution will be the central focus of the bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin. UNI XC ANV GNK

‘His only card': Zelensky says Vladimir Putin ‘trying to sell' Russia-Ukraine ceasefire for a 'price'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin for trying to 'legalise the occupation' of Kyiv's territories as the attempts to reach a peace deal gather pace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blasted his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, saying that he wants territorial gains and the legalisation of occupation. (AFP) Zelensky said that the end of the war depends on Russia, and it must end the war it started. 'First and foremost, there must be a just end to the war, and it depends on Russia. It is Russia that must end the war it started,' he said in his address to the Ukrainian people. Zelensky said that Ukraine and its allies have the same understanding of the need for a ceasefire and for the end of the killings. 'Only one actor stands against this, Putin. His only card is the ability to kill, and he is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price,' the leader of Ukraine added. Volodymyr Zelensky said that the requirement wasn't a pause, but a real, lasting peace. He called for an immediate ceasefire and said that US President Donald Trump also told him the same thing. 'I have not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to ensure that the war ends. The President of the United States has the levers and the determination. Ukraine has supported all of President Trump's proposals, starting back in February. Ceasefire, all formats have been supported,' he added. The Ukrainian President blasted his Russian counterpart, saying that he wants territorial gains and the legalisation of occupation. He said that his country won't allow for its second partition, after losing Crimea.

Cut import, increase exports to become ‘vishwaguru': Gadkari
1 2 3 Nagpur: Without directly referring to the ongoing US tariff imposition, Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said that reducing imports and boosting exports is the biggest patriotism today if India wants to become a 'vishwaguru'. Speaking during the Prof VG Bhide memorial lecture at VNIT, Gadkari stressed that science and technology hold solutions to the country's major problems under the present circumstances. "Knowledge is power. Duniya jhukti hai, jhukane wala chahiye (The world bows, you need someone to make it bow)," he said. "If our scientists and institutions work as per the needs of the country, then the rate of our growth and development will increase thrice. When our economic growth rate and export increases, I don't think we will need anyone's support. Today, those who are bullying others can do so because they are economically self-reliant, and technologically sound. But when we have better technology and resources, we wouldn't indulge in bullying others. Our tradition teaches welfare of the world 'vishwa kalyan'," he said. Paying tribute to Prof Bhide as a good teacher and researcher, Gadkari urged IITs and NITs to focus research on the needs of the nation and find solutions tailored for each state, district, and city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo He cited how in Delhi, 80 lakh tonnes of garbage from four dumps was used to make roads. He emphasised the importance of ethics, economy, and ecology, adding that technology should be used in Swachh Bharat to create value from waste. Recalling a remark by former RSS chief late KS Sudarshan, Gadkari said the import of fossil fuels must end to curb global terrorism. India spends Rs 21 lakh crore annually on importing fossil fuels, but farmers can help reduce this dependency. He pointed to the rise in corn prices after ethanol production began — from Rs 1,800 per quintal (MSP) to Rs 2,800 — and said corn plantation has tripled. He also cited progress in bio-ethanol, isobutanol (as an alternative to diesel), and bio-aviation fuel from rice straw, with the govt financing marine engine production by Kirloskar. Calling for indigenous technology, Gadkari said Bhide's research remains a guiding light. He lamented that research centres have not worked enough on hyperlocal problems but praised VNIT's ongoing work. Sharing an example from Covid times, he said a unit to treat black fungus-related blindness was set up in Wardha after he intervened for licensing. Gadkari added that the New Education Policy has incorporated science with values and culture, and called for a futuristic vision, futuristic implementation, and a self-reliant society in the coming years.
