Vladimir Putin hasn't been seen in public for a while, leading to speculation about his whereabouts. Some observers suspect he may be in one of the secret bunkers.
Meanwhile, his unofficial partner, Alina Kabaeva, was seen at a gym in Sochi, appearing with a leg injury.
Kabaeva appeared at the training session
Kabaeva, a renowned gymnast and Olympic gold medalist, actively participated in training young gymnasts despite her health issues. She is preparing them for competitions in Qatar, sharing her knowledge and experience.
Her presence in the gym attracted media attention, particularly because of her injury. Kabaeva has an issue with her leg and is visibly limping. During the training session, Kabaeva not only supported the young athletes but wasn't afraid to critique them, demonstrating that she still upholds high standards.
Mysterious relationship with the Russian leader
Kabaeva, though unofficially, is considered the first lady of Russia. In one interview, Putin stressed that his private life is sacred to him and doesn't allow interference. The President of Russia also condemned "those who, with their sensational tales and fanciful imaginations, invade other people's lives."
Kabaeva, when asked about her partner, described him as "a very good, wonderful man" and added that she "loves him very much."
In 2013, Putin divorced his wife but has never admitted to a romance with Alina Kabaeva. According to the investigation by the Dossier Center, which tracks the activities of Kremlin representatives, Putin and Kabaeva have two sons. In 2022, the United Kingdom and the United States imposed sanctions on Putin's companion.
