“He Ruined My Life”: Putin’s Alleged Daughter Goes Public
Others are reading now
Children of powerful leaders often grow up in the shadows. Some are protected from the public eye.
Others are hidden altogether. In Russia, secrecy around President Vladimir Putin’s private life has long sparked curiosity and speculation.
Now, a woman who many believe to be his daughter is stepping into the light and speaking out.
A Message Aimed at Her Father
Luiza Rozova, whose real name is Elizaveta Krivonogikh, has shared photos of her face publicly for the first time in years, reports Tag24.
She is 22 years old and lives in Paris, where she studies and works in the art world.

She posted the images on social media and included a message that many see as aimed at her alleged father.
“It’s so nice to be able to show my face to the world again,” she wrote. Then came a more emotional line: “It reminds me every day who I was born as and who ruined my life.” She didn’t name Putin directly. But the meaning seemed clear.
On her Telegram channel, she also wrote: “The man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine.” That post has quickly gained attention online.
Made Headlines in June
The resemblance between Luiza and Putin has long been a topic of interest. Many photos show a strong likeness between the two.
Despite the attention, Luiza has stayed mostly silent. According to reports, she refused a request for an interview. It’s also not known exactly when the photos she shared were taken.

In June, she made headlines when she started working at two art galleries in Paris. Her employer confirmed her position but didn’t comment on her family background.
The Kremlin, as usual, has not responded to the new wave of attention. Putin rarely talks about his personal life.
Officially, he has two daughters from a previous marriage. There has been no public acknowledgment of Rozova.
While she now seems willing to be seen, she also appears to carry deep emotional scars. For someone raised in secrecy, speaking out is no small step.
