The Ukrainian TV channel TSN, citing sources, reported that the alleged daughter of Vladimir Putin, 21-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogikh, began using a passport under the surname Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova. This is also confirmed by information from leaks of Russian databases, which was studied by the «Agency»*.
According to TSN, under this name, the girl studied in Paris, at the management school in the field of culture and art ICART, journalists obtained documents about her academic achievements from the school. At the same time, a student and a teacher from the school recognized Rudnova-Krivonogikh from a photograph. The studies lasted from 2020 to 2024, when «Elizaveta Rudnova» received a bachelor's degree.
The «Agency» found in the leaked database of the Russian booking system «Sirena Travel» two airline tickets that Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova with the same date of birth as Elizaveta Krivonogikh (March 3, 2003) purchased in 2021. The purchase also used the phone number of Elizaveta Krivonogikh. This number is recorded by other users as «Rozova Elizaveta Vladimirovna», «Rozova Luiza Vladimirovna». Elizaveta has been living under this surname since the 2010s, and Luiza is her pseudonym. The same pseudonym and phone number were used by the girl when ordering in food delivery services, registering on online shopping sites, and in the electric scooter rental service, notes the «Agency».
In addition, Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova with the same date of birth as Krivonogikh used the services of the «Helix» clinic. Elizaveta Vladimirovna Rudnova, as well as Elizaveta Vladimirovna Rozova, also visited it.
As journalists suggest, the choice of a new identity is not accidental. Oleg Rudnov was a St. Petersburg media manager and a long-time friend of Putin who died in 2015. In 2006, he bought a 200-meter apartment and non-residential premises in the very center of St. Petersburg. Both properties were transferred to Svetlana Krivonogikh around 2008, and his son registered an apartment in Sochi intended for Krivonogikh's mother, Nadezhda, wrote the «Project»**.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, as the «Project» found out in 2020, is the daughter of Svetlana Krivonogikh and Putin. Svetlana Krivonogikh was Vladimir Putin's lover in the late 1990s - early 2000s. She received lavish gifts from friends of the Russian president and became a shareholder of the bank «Russia», which is considered close to Putin. In total, the «Project» found that she owns assets worth 100 million dollars.
