Putin’s ‘Daughter’ Resurfaces After Years with Cryptic Message: “The Man Who Destroyed My Life” – Shocking Claim Sparks Global Buzz
Vladimir Putin’s alleged daughter resurfaces after years with a cryptic post calling him “the man who destroyed my life.” The shocking message has triggered global speculation and intrigue
A woman widely believed to be a daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin has resurfaced on social media, accusing an unnamed man of “destroying” her life.
In a post on Telegram, 22-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogikh shared a photo of herself and wrote: “It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again. It reminds me of who I was born to be and who destroyed my life. The man who took millions of lives and who destroyed mine,” reported The Times.
According to the news outlet, while Krivonogikh did not explicitly name Putin, a German newspaper Bild that had access to the Telegram channel titled ‘Art of Luiza’ noted that the context strongly suggested the Russian president was the subject of her remarks.
Despite the mounting media scrutiny, the Kremlin has denied any connection. In 2020, Putin’s spokesperson said the president had “never heard of her”.
Public attention around Elizaveta reignited last year when Russian artist Nastya Rodionova, now in exile, claimed that she had been working under the surname Rudnova at a Paris gallery exhibiting anti-war art.
Rodionova publicly cut ties with the gallery, saying it was “inadmissible” for a member of the Putin family to be associated with such a space.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh is believed to be the daughter of Vladimir Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman who reportedly worked as a cleaner before becoming a shareholder in Bank Rossiya.
Despite the Kremlin’s longstanding efforts to keep Putin’s private life secret, reports over the years have linked Elizaveta to the president. She previously lived a visibly luxurious life, sharing glimpses of designer clothing and private jets on social media before going largely offline after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, reported The Times.
Elizaveta is reported to have graduated in 2024 from ICART, a Paris-based institution that specialises in arts and cultural management.
Her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, reportedly transitioned from working as a cleaner in St Petersburg to becoming a major shareholder in key Russian businesses.
Among her assets is a significant stake in the Bank of Russia, an institution the United States has described as “Putin’s personal cashbox.” In 2020, Russian investigative outlet Proekt estimated Svetlana’s net worth at approximately 7.7 billion rubles (about £74 million at the time).
In a stunning twist that has set off a wave of speculation worldwide, a woman claiming to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s daughter has resurfaced on social media after years of silence, posting a cryptic and emotionally charged message:
“The man who destroyed my life.”
The mysterious statement—short, haunting, and direct—was enough to ignite a global media frenzy, with many questioning its target, intent, and credibility. However, given the long-standing secrecy surrounding Vladimir Putin’s private life and family, the post has taken on extraordinary significance.
The post was made from an account linked to Luiza Rozova, also known as Elizaveta Krivonogikh, who has been alleged in past investigative reports to be Putin’s illegitimate daughter from an alleged affair with Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman reportedly once linked to the Russian leader. While the Kremlin has never officially confirmed the connection, multiple reports from Russian opposition media, including the banned outlet Proekt, have alleged ties backed by financial records and photographs.
The cryptic message, posted to a platform believed to be associated with Luiza, read only:
“The man who destroyed my life.”
It was accompanied by a shadowy image of a woman facing away from the camera, possibly herself. Though Putin’s name wasn’t mentioned explicitly, the ambiguity left the internet to do what it does best—speculate, investigate, and spread like wildfire.
Putin has always kept his personal and family life tightly under wraps. While it is known that he has two daughters with ex-wife Lyudmila Putina—Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova—he has never spoken publicly about them in detail, and they live entirely outside the public eye.
The existence of a third, illegitimate daughter has long been rumored but never officially acknowledged. Reports surfaced in 2020 identifying Luiza Rozova as the daughter of Svetlana Krivonogikh, a former cleaner who later became a millionaire through alleged connections to the Kremlin elite.
According to Proekt’s investigation, Luiza was born in 2003 and lived a relatively luxurious lifestyle until she abruptly disappeared from social media in early 2022, shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The resurfacing of this account—and such a damning statement—has raised eyebrows globally. Analysts believe the timing may not be coincidental.
Sources close to exiled Russian dissidents suggest the statement may reflect internal family tensions, possibly over Putin’s war in Ukraine, the international sanctions affecting his extended circle, or personal grievances tied to isolation and fear as the Kremlin tightens its grip on both domestic and external criticism.
Some even speculate that the post could be a deliberate signal, a cry for help, or part of a broader internal dissent brewing within the invisible ranks of Putin’s personal world.
As expected, the Kremlin has remained silent on the issue. State-controlled Russian media have ignored the post entirely, and no official statement has been released either to deny or acknowledge the message.
International media, however, have picked up the story with intensity. From BBC and CNN to Deutsche Welle, headlines ask the same question: Who is this woman, and what is she trying to say?
Political analysts say this moment is especially delicate. At a time when Putin is facing growing isolation globally, any cracks in his personal image—especially those involving his secretive family life—are seen as potentially destabilizing.
Whether or not the message truly came from Putin’s alleged daughter, and whether it carries any political undertones, one thing is certain: the mystery surrounding Vladimir Putin’s personal life continues to fascinate and disturb the world in equal measure.
The post has since been deleted, but not before it was screenshot and shared across thousands of accounts on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Telegram. Kremlin-watchers and global observers are now keeping a close eye on any further signs of distress, dissent, or disclosure.
As this story unfolds, it raises a chilling question: What kind of secrets lie behind the iron curtain of Vladimir Putin’s carefully guarded private life?
