Inside Vladimir Putin's 'Tsar village' made for ex-wife and daughters

Russian President Vladimir Putin created a secretive 'tsar's village' of properties for his daughters and ex-wife in a plush Moscow district, according to a report. An investigation by independent Russian outlet Proekt claimed that Putin used secret offshore companies to buy land and lavish properties for his daughters. The disclosures were purportedly based on emails between Putin's youngest daughter, Katerina Tikhonova and her ex-husband Kirill Shamalov, who is the son of a friend of Putin. The four mansions and Putin's residence, the Novo-Ogarevo estate, are situated along the Rublevka highway, a wealthy neighborhood where a number of oligarchs, government officials, celebrities and tycoons reside.

Two houses to the east of Novo-Ogarevo were allegedly bought in 2006 by Cypriot business Ermira. Officially, the company is owned by a Russian lawyer, but sources told Proyekt that in reality it belonged to Putin. The property in the Usovo-Plyus settlement, worth an estimated 350 million roubles ($3.7 million), was for the use of Maria Vorontsova (pictured), 38, Putin's elder daughter, following her marriage to a Dutch businessman, Proyekt said.

It has also been claimed that Putin himself is living with his mistress Alina Kabaeva (pictured right), 40, a former Olympic gymnast, and their young family. The Kremlin have not commented on the Proekt investigation that surfaced in June 2023. The investigation itself suggests that while Tikhonova and Shamalov were wed before a priest in a church ceremony, they did not have a registered civil marriage so that there would be no trace of property being linked to Putin's daughter. Others with close ties to Putin are also allegedly making use of several other palaces across Russia, as the country's leader continues to fear for his own personal safety amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The home linked to Putin's first wife Lyudmila Shkrebneva, and her new spouse, was transferred to them by Shamalov following his split with Tikhonova.

Yeah, they'd meltdown for sure.  They're already in denial about the Israelis ignoring Putin's blockade.
