As a result of a journalistic investigation, the whole world has learned the closely guarded secrets of Vladimir Putin. It concerns his sons, who are said to be the fruit of the dictator's relationship with gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The boys are said to be named Ivan and Vladimir. More closely guarded secrets of Putin have come to light, revealed by the independent Dossier Center.

Vladimir Putin closely guards his privacy. His private life has been an open secret for years. He officially divorced his wife, Lyudmila, in 2013. From this marriage, the Russian dictator has two adult daughters – Katerina Tikhonova (born in 1986, a scientist and manager) and Maria Vorontsova (born in 1985, a doctor).

Unofficially, the Russian dictator is involved with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The couple is said to be raising two sons together. However, these reports have never been confirmed by Putin, Kabaeva, or anyone from their circle.

The Dossier Center, founded by politician Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has published the results of an investigation that reveals many secrets of the Russian dictator. Journalists obtained information about Putin's family and private life. His sons are said to be named Ivan and Vladimir. The younger, Ivan, was born in 2015, and the older, Vladimir, in 2019.

Ivan and Vladimir live with their parents at the presidential residence in Valdai. They do not attend school or kindergarten. Everything is organized on the estate.

Their teachers and trainers live in separate buildings on the premises of the residence. The children have cars with drivers at their disposal. During trips and outings, teachers and staff accompany them.

According to the Dossier Center investigation, guests sporadically appear at the residence. These are other children – most often the offspring of Kabaeva's friends. Investigators also found that in the evenings, Putin plays hockey with his older son. For this purpose, an ice rink was built in Valdai.
