Hidden 'luxury home of Vladimir Putin love child' uncovered as result of food orders

A new property boasting "palace luxury" linked to Vladimir Putin's "secret daughter" and her mum - his alleged former lover - has been located in St Petersburg.

The pair were earlier claimed to share a £3.1million home in Monaco, but now a large penthouse has come to light via a hacked food courier database showcasing deliveries to "love child" Luiza Rozova, 19.

Its total value before the recent decline due to the Ukraine war and sanctions was approximately £1.7million, as reported by The Mirror.

Student Luiza is the daughter of cleaner-turned-multi-millionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45.

Svetlana is now part-owner of a major Russian bank and one of the country's richest women, with an estimated £74million financial and property fortune.

She has not responded to claims that her daughter was fathered by the President, and nor has Luiza, although the teenager told Russian GQ that she "probably" looks "similar" to a young Vladimir Putin.

The suspicion that she was Putin’s secret daughter from an extra-marital affair was first aired by an independent media outlet in Russia, which was later blocked by the authorities.

The 4,306 square feet apartment in the sumptuous gated Fontanka 76 block is one of St Petersburg’s most sought after addresses in the city’s “Golden Triangle”.

It is described as a “club house” with an array of “elite apartments”, with construction by German company Engel & Voelkers, boasting “high-end” designer finishes and furnishings by Roberto Molon in an "elegant and light art deco style”.

Plumbing and kitchen appliances are "from leading German and Italian manufacturers”.

In the prestigious development “everything is thought out to create maximum comfort, convenience and a fabulous atmosphere of beauty, comfort and coziness.

“It has its own wellness centre with a swimming pool, and luxury service.”

It offers “palace luxury in the spirit of modernity from Italian designers”.

Reports say that Oleg Yemelyanov - linked to jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny - analysed hacked Yandex Food records which became publicly available.

These showed an unknown apartment linked to Krivonogikh at Fontanka embankment number 76, he said.

“Wow, Putin’s ex-mistress Svetlana Krivonogikh has a flat with total area of nearly 400 square metres on the River Fontanka embankment,” said Yemelyanov.

“Thanks for the tip to Luiza Vladimirovna Rozova, who has been ordering food to that address.”

The property's value has sunk to £1.28 million in the past month.

Luiza has closed her Instagram after she was hit by a wave of extreme trolling over Russia’s war in Ukraine.

One comment said: “Are U sitting in the bunker?? Like a rat?”

Luiza - who had 84,000 subscribers - stopped publicly posting six months ago, triggering the suspicion that Putin had gagged her, but her account remained open.

Now a message says in Russian: “User not found.”

One post on the 19-year-old’s Instagram alleged she was the “daughter of a murderer, war criminal, psychopath and drug addict”.

Many posts included the Ukrainian blue-and-yellow flag and one carried the message: “The Russian nation must rise against this dictator. You don't want to have anything to do with him.”

But commenters also staunchly defended her, with one saying: “Don't judge her... is not her fault.”

Another wrote: “She cannot do anything for having a crazy father”.

Putin has two daughters by his ex-wife Lyudmila, the former Kremlin first lady.

Like Luiza, neither Dr Maria Vorontsova, 36, a geneticist, or Katerina Tikhonova, 35, a high-kicking ‘rock’n’roll’ dancer-turned-mathematician, have commented on the war.

There are reports that Putin has hidden some family members in a chalet in neutral Switzerland - while another version is that they are in a five-star hi-tech nuclear bunker in Siberia.

There is speculation he has up to four children with Olympic Gold-medal winning rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, now high-earning a media mogul in Moscow who is rarely seen in public. This would make the Kremlin strongman a father of seven.

Luiza earlier showed her life at cafes, on trips to Paris, and running her own Russian fashion label.

A video shows her at the Louvre museum during the pandemic.

She was also seen working as an in-demand DJ.
