Marriage Ends In Divorce

Putin was married to Lyudmila, and they had two daughters together. But their marriage ended in 2014 with a divorce. According to the book, the main reason was Putin’s multiple affairs outside marriage. It says before becoming President, he started dating a 20-year-old girl named Svetlana Krivonogikh. She worked as a shop cleaner when their relationship began. This was kept secret from the world for many years. But the book now brings the story to light.

Third Daughter With Svetlana

In 2003, Svetlana gave birth to Putin’s third daughter named Elizaveta. But Putin never accepted her publicly. The book says Svetlana later became extremely rich. She purchased a luxury ski resort near St. Petersburg. She also got a large stake in a bank. This shows how her life changed completely after her relationship with Putin. People around her believe this wealth came because of her connection with him. This story highlights another hidden part of Putin’s life.

Calendar Girl Connection Claimed

The book also talks about a 17-year-old girl named Alisa Kharcheva. She once appeared in a calendar made in honor of Putin. It is said she too had a personal connection with him. The book claims she received a luxury house in Moscow. She also got admission in a top university. This raised many questions about favoritism and secret relations.

The author says Putin shows traditional family values in public, but in reality, his family life is full of lies. His children’s existence is kept secret from the Russian people. He uses the image of a strong family man only to look good in politics. This double face is called out clearly in the book.

Putin’s Life Of Pretence

Author Roman Badanin says Putin’s life is nothing but a performance of lies and pretence. He never shows the truth of his family to the world. His image of discipline and values is only for power. The reality is hidden children, secret affairs and changed partners. This book exposes how his political life is built on a false personal story. For years, the people of Russia never knew these secrets. Now the book has made them public, raising big questions on Putin’s character.
