A young Paris-based artist, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, who is widely believed to be Vladimir Putin’s secret daughter, has raised eyebrows after publishing mysterious messages online. The emotional posts appear to criticize a powerful man responsible for “millions of lost lives” — prompting speculation about whether she’s referring to the Russian president.
“He Destroyed My Life,” Artist Writes on Telegram
Krivonogikh, 22, shared a message through her private Telegram channel under the pseudonym Luiza Rozova, a name she often uses for her creative work.
“It’s freeing to show my face again,” she wrote. “It reminds me of who I was… and who destroyed me.”
Although she didn’t name anyone directly, her wording has sparked renewed discussion around her rumored connection to Putin, especially given recent shifts in her public persona.
The Rumors: Is Elizaveta Putin’s Youngest Daughter?
Elizaveta was born in 2003 and is believed to be the daughter of Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman who once worked for the Kremlin. Her story first gained attention after a 2020 investigation by Russian journalists, who pointed out her resemblance to Putin.
The speculation intensified because her middle name — Vladimirovna, meaning “daughter of Vladimir” — aligns with Russian naming traditions.
Although Putin has never acknowledged her publicly, she has not denied the connection either.
Lavish Lifestyle Once on Display
Before the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, Krivonogikh was active on Instagram, where she shared glimpses of her luxurious life. Photos of designer clothes, expensive getaways, and elite events painted a picture of extreme privilege.
Her Instagram was later revealed by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who questioned the source of her family’s wealth — strongly implying it was tied to the Kremlin.
Silent During War — Then a Change of Heart
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021, her online activity stopped. Her Instagram was shut down, and she withdrew from the spotlight. When she reappeared, she avoided showing her face and said little about world events.
But in recent months, her tone has changed.
Now working in an anti-war art gallery in Paris, Elizaveta has begun to publicly distance herself from her former life. Her recent messages reflect regret over her past and seem to condemn the war — without naming her supposed father directly.
A New Name, A Subtle Message?
Krivonogikh has also adopted a second alias: Elizaveta Rudnova. This name appears to reference Oleg Rudnov, a close ally of Putin who passed away in 2015. Some see this as a bold statement, possibly mocking her rumored lineage.
Her evolution from luxury icon to quiet dissenter has captured international interest.
Critics Still Aren’t Convinced
Despite her apparent transformation, not everyone believes it. Many critics argue that Krivonogikh is rebranding herself rather than making a genuine break from her past. Some say her timing feels strategic.
Even so, her willingness to speak out — even indirectly — may be significant, especially considering her alleged connection to one of the world’s most powerful leaders.
