Vladimir Putin is the sole leader of Russia, but he still has a family. Little is known about his daughters. Her life: a state secret. Now his firstborn is giving a surprise interview.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s eldest daughter, Maria Vorontsova, has given a rare interview. In the middle of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the 38-year-old describes Russia as a “people-centered” state. This is reported by the news site Agentstvore.
“For us, the value of human life is a supreme value,” Vorontsova said in an interview with Medtech.Mocsow, a non-profit organization affiliated with the Moscow mayor’s office. “Russia is a people-centered society,” she added. “I dream that people have the opportunity to know themselves so that we can all understand each other better and communicate better.” Disturbing statements given the crimes and number of victims in the Ukraine war. According to estimates, more than half a million people died or were injured on both sides.
But the war is not discussed. In the interview, the endocrinologist instead talks about global medical progress and her literary, musical and sporting interests. Even in her free time, she would read scientific or medical literature, says Vorontsova. Anything beautiful would inspire her. “Paintings, museums, theater, music.”
Her father is also not mentioned in the interview. Putin has never publicly recognized Vorontsova and her younger sister Katerina Tikhonova as his daughters. The Kremlin ensures that no details about her life become public. However, both are on the sanctions lists of the EU, Great Britain and the USA. Your assets are frozen and entry bans are in place.
It is also known about Vorontsova that she has been a member of the Federal Council of the State Scientific Program for Genetic Engineering since 2019. She is co-owner of the company Nomeko, which is supposed to research the “Russian genome” for pathogenic vulnerabilities and treatment options in a research clinic in St. Petersburg. Putin had described genetic engineering as a science of the future.
