But apparently he has two daughters, one of whom he used as a guinea pig for his bogus covid vaccine. Poor kids.

OP
No reason to believe anything Putin says. If Trump said Ivanka got the vaccine would you believe it?

The Secret French Hideaway Where the Putin Family Spends Its Time and Fortune
By Simon Shuster / Biarritz, France
June 13, 2017 12:07 PM EDT
Putins own daughters have mostly kept away from such pageantry, and the Kremlin has guarded their private lives almost as closely as its military secrets. Neither Maria Putina, 32, nor Katerina Putina, 30, has ever appeared on television. The state has not released any photos of them in adulthood, nor has it confirmed some of the most basic details about their lives, such as where they live, where they work and whether they are married. Considering the corruption scandals that plagued Yeltsins son-in-law, the marital status of the Presidents children is no trivial matter in Russia. ...
That is about as candid as Putin has ever been about his family, which has left most Russians in the strange position of not knowing what his heirs even look like. Anyone curious about such matters would have to rely mostly on Western news reports on the identity of his younger daughter. A former classmate tells TIME that Katerina, who was born in East Germany during her fathers posting there as an agent of the KGB, studied at an elite German-language school in Moscow and had trouble fitting in, partly because of the bodyguards who followed her around to parties. She grew up to become a competitive dancer of acrobatic rocknroll, specializing in the category known as boogie-woogie.
According to investigations by Reuters and Bloomberg, Katerina is married to a young oil executive named Kirill Shamalov, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes magazine to be $1.25 billion. Their marriage helps illustrate just how tightly knit Putins circle has become. Shamalovs father Nikolay is one of the Presidents oldest friends. He is also one of the founders of Bank Rossiya, which the U.S. Treasury Department identified in 2014 as the personal bank for Putin and his close associates.
This habit of mixing friendship and finance was equally clear in the deal that Weber, the real estate agent, handled in 2012. According to property records obtained by TIME in Biarritz, the buyer of that property was the younger Shamalov, Putins reported son-in-law; the seller was the oil trader Gennady Timchenko, another one of Putins old friends. Weber confirmed that the documents are accurate. I know why youre here, she told a TIME reporter who showed up at her office in May. Its about Putins family.

(20,998 posts)4. yes... one of his daughters is a Professional Athletic Dancer...
...she and her also Professional Athletic Dancer husband are BILLIONAIRES. They have a mansion on the French Riviera. Putin's ex-wife also has a mansion on the French Riviera.
Putin*s salary is about $100,000 per year.

Its interesting though how quickly Russian lies and propaganda are amplified, even through conventional media outlets.
