Elizaveta Krivonogih Reemerges Online
Elizaveta Krivonogih, believed to be the illegitimate daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has broken her silence with a striking message.
In a private Telegram post, she wrote:
“The man who took millions of lives and who destroyed mine,” sparking renewed speculation about her connection to the Russian leader.
Telegram Post Hints at Deep Personal Pain
The message was shared on a channel reportedly linked to her, called The Art of Luiza.
Alongside a selfie taken inside a car, she wrote: “It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again.”
While Putin is not named, the phrasing strongly suggests she was referring to him.
Rumored to Be Putin’s Daughter With a Former Maid
Elizaveta is widely believed to be the daughter of Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman who once worked as a cleaner.
Svetlana later became a shareholder in Bank Rossiya and was reportedly worth $100 million by 2020.
Neither Putin nor Svetlana has ever confirmed the relationship.
A Private Life After a Public Break
Elizaveta, now 22, has kept a low profile since early 2022.
Before that, she often shared glimpses of a luxurious lifestyle, flying on private jets, wearing designer fashion, and appearing at exclusive venues.
Her online presence faded after the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
Life in Paris and Controversy in the Art World
Last year, it was revealed that Elizaveta had been living in Paris under the name Rudnova.
She worked at a gallery showing work by anti-war artists, including critics of the Russian regime.
Her presence there sparked backlash, especially from Russian artist Nastya Rodionova, who later cut ties with the gallery.
“I’m Not Responsible for My Family”
In response to criticism, Elizaveta defended herself, asking: “Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can’t even hear me?”
Her words reflected the distance she claims to feel from her powerful and controversial relatives.
Former DJ and Social Media Starlet
Before withdrawing from public view, Elizaveta reportedly worked as a DJ at a Moscow bar called Rovesnik.
Her appearance at the event drew attention due to heightened security and claims of undercover officers on site.
The bar never confirmed her identity but called her “a mysterious girl from the capital.”
