If he has never formalized his relationship with Alina Kabaeva, the latter would indeed be the companion of Vladimir Putin. The latter would also have a small nickname, quite funny.
If their relationship has never been formalized, many rumors suggest that Vladimir Putin would share the life of Alina Kabaeva, and this, since 2006. 30 years his senior, the Russian head of state is very often scrutinized about his romantic relationships. But when a journalist takes a little too close an interest in the Russian president, the consequences can be disastrous. Thus, while the newspaper Moskovsky Korrespondenthad decided to look into Alina Kabaeva, “the journalist is exiled and the oligarch who owned the newspaper has fallen completely out of favor”.
But a journalist managed to interview her exiled colleague. Thus, he gave him some rather startling revelations about Vladimir Poutine and Alina Kabaeva. In particular a rather funny little nickname, that some would give to the companion of the President. The former gymnast would thus be nicknamed “the most flexible woman in Russia”, as our colleagues from DailyStar. This is not the only confidence. Indeed, in 2014, Russian journalists asked Vladimir Putin if he had “time to have a private life”. The president then replied: “A European leader asked me ‘are you in love’. I answered ‘Yes’.
Vladimir Putin does not reveal anything about his private life
But obviously, Vladimir Putin kept the secret of this famous woman he was in love with. According to Michaëlle Gagnet, keeping his private life secret would reinforce the “moral and conservative” side that he wishes at all costs to convey. The Russian head of state would also have a hard time understanding why his European counterparts do not hesitate to display themselves “with their companion”. Will we ever know the truth about Vladimir Putin’s private life? Nothing is less sure.
