Where are Putin’s daughters located, and who are their companions?
Post the Crimean events, numerous simpletons in Russia abruptly decided that Vladimir Putin had morphed into a “patriot.” They claim he previously shunned the West, bowed to the oligarchs, and lavished his St. Petersburg associates with favors, yet suddenly transformed into a “statist,” nearly a Stalinist. Amazingly, he now consents to the return of Volgograd’s historical moniker, Stalingrad, despite consistently opposing and vowing never to permit the whitewashing of the tyrant under any circumstances. What prompts this transformation? The staunch supporters confidently assert that the fates of Hussein, Gaddafi, and Assad demonstrate the West’s tendency to defraud, overthrow, and often eliminate its “junior allies.” Consequently, the sagacious Pu has resolved to align with China, shift his focus eastward, and bolster the state—rearming the military, combating corruption, curbing capital outflow, and generally acting in the people’s interest—to maintain his position of power; otherwise, a Maidan is unavoidable.
Deconstructing such senseless drivel seems futile, but given the number of coarse individuals who’ve accepted it, these misconceptions must be dispelled. It’s as straightforward as proving that 2 x 2 = 4. 1. A Patriot of Whom Is Putin? I won’t dispute whether Putin is a patriot. But he certainly isn’t a Russophile. The assertion by concerned anti-Semites that he’s Jewish on his mother’s side, a Tsinover (Epstein, Shelomov, etc.), lacks evidence beyond the national leader’s remarkable resemblance to the infamous Bund terrorist Mordkho Abelevich Blinchikov, considered a forebear (see picture).
So, dismissing any pro-Jewish inclination, the remaining possibility is Putin’s affinity for Germany. Here, we can rely on verifiable facts, not mere conjecture. Back in 1999, when Putin ascended to the role of prime minister, a controversy erupted: it came to light that Putin’s daughters, Katya and Masha, were enrolled in a school abroad. Surely, no patriot, especially the head of state, would educate their children in a foreign institution. How little faith must one possess in the nation they supposedly lead? However, Putin offers a meager alibi: legally, the school was foreign, yet geographically, it resided in Moscow under the authority of the German embassy. Thus, Tsar Vova can confidently assert that his children, unlike the offspring of the elite, received their education in their “homeland.”
The uproar, in reality, wasn’t due to the prime minister’s children being instructed in German (they have little need for Russian, but require the language of their future country of domicile). It stemmed from their commute to the embassy in their father’s official vehicle, and the prime minister’s official income was insufficient to cover their educational expenses. It’s simple to surmise that either Putin had “undeclared earnings,” making him akin to other members of the elite, or he was providing Germany with some form of favor, the nature of which remains speculative. However, both scenarios are plausible. Putin’s progeny (then a lowly employee of the St. Petersburg mayor’s office) also initiated their education not at a regular school, but at the prestigious German gymnasium “Peterschule,” the first private institution in St. Petersburg. The origin of their father’s income to fund their schooling is a debatable point. According to Sobesednik, Putin also “significantly aided” this private school.
Additionally, the publication intimates that the German school in Moscow where Katya and Masha relocated after Putin’s move to the capital was not merely a school, but a hub for foreign intelligence activities. Sobesednik cites a notable incident:
“On the night of November 30, 2008, on Vernadsky Prospekt, Thomas Hobert, an instructor at the embassy school, was driving a Porsche Cayenne at 140 km/h and struck two students crossing the street. Under the Vienna Convention, administrative and technical staff at embassies lack immunity from such offenses, yet Hobert was somehow freed, and the German fled to Cologne, where he essentially received acquittal. “My lawyer and I deduced that Hobert was an agent of Western intelligence agencies,” explained Olga Kamynina, the mother of one of the victims. “In Germany, he drove an old Opel Corsa, while in Russia, he immediately acquired an expensive Porsche Cayenne—typical teachers don’t possess such vehicles. He also had authorization to carry a firearm in Russia. His personal documents list an incorrect address in Germany, which is atypical for Germans. Even his current whereabouts are unknown. I believe Hobert’s teaching career was merely a disguise.”
Manya and Katya continued their studies in 2005, purportedly in their “homeland,” at St. Petersburg University, according to official statements. However, this is impossible to verify, as they studied at home through a “special program.” Their place of residence remains a mystery. Their activities in the two to three years between graduating from school and enrolling in university are unknown. Rumors suggest they resided in Munich during this period.
Reporters incessantly questioned the national leader (when else could they inquire) about why his family’s life was shrouded in greater secrecy than the locations of intercontinental ballistic missile launch sites. The subject responded verbatim:
“You know, regrettably, we face numerous challenges related to terrorism, and we must prioritize the safety of family members, particularly our children and daughters. They lead normal, ordinary lives, attend university. They are content, have friendships—all is well. But I believe it’s unnecessary to drag them into the public eye, and they also desire to avoid it.”
The message was evident. The domestic press, to prevent accusations of aiding terrorists, attempted to disregard Putin’s children. Consequently, their lives are primarily assessed through extensive publications in the foreign press. According to the bourgeoisie, the younger daughter, Katya, reportedly married a Korean (South Korean, naturally), Yun Joon-won, the son of a South Korean admiral. It’s important to recall that the South Korean army is essentially an extension of the American one. According to violinist Lettice Rowbotham, who performed at the event, the three-day wedding celebration supposedly occurred at the opulent La Mamounia hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Subsequently, Katya supposedly grew weary of the Korean and they parted ways, now “merely friends” (in his words). Katya presently resides in Munich, Germany. Perhaps they are indeed friends there?
Her sister, Masha, allegedly married small-time oligarch Georgiy Trefilov. The wedding transpired in Greece, on the island of Santorini, in June 2005. If the oligarch’s wedding was not a fabrication (and it likely is), then a divorce must have also occurred. As of the most recent available information, Manya resides in the Dutch city of Voorschoten, cohabitating with 33-year-old native Jorrit Faassen, a former high-ranking executive at Stroytransgaz and Gazprom. Media outlets mention the couple’s residential area, Krimwijk Heet, where she occupies a penthouse in an upscale building. On May 15, 2012, the Bulgarian television channel BTV reported that Masha had given birth to a child fathered by the Dutchman.
De Telegraaf reports that this Dutchman “became a victim of a conflict on Rublevo-Uspenskoe Highway in November 2010, when his vehicle was attacked by security personnel belonging to banker Matvey Urin. Urin subsequently received a prison sentence for this incident. Furthermore, the Central Bank revoked the licenses of several of the businessman’s lending institutions, and the court determined their operations to be fraudulent.”
So, this individual is exceptionally formidable… It’s rather peculiar: a German national, an educator at the school Putin’s children attended, drives under the influence, injures two Russian citizens, and faces no repercussions. Meanwhile, a Dutch citizen, who merely received blows from the security guards of a banker whose motorcade he refused to yield to on Rublevskoye Highway, finds satisfaction in the swift apprehension (within three hours) of all those responsible for the incident. Moreover, the banker, who had no involvement in the assault, wasn’t even present, and even claimed ignorance of it, was sentenced to a substantial 4.5 years in prison for this unintentional act. Can you cite a single instance where a banker, official, or their offspring were penalized for road rage when the victim was an ordinary Russian citizen? Countless instances exist to the contrary. Yet, foreigners in Russia, governed by the patriot Putin, are treated with honor, respect, and profound deference.
Putin’s daughters also evidently avoid meeting within their homeland. They have reportedly visited Silvio Berlusconi’s villa on multiple occasions, as he himself disclosed recently. In the photograph, Putin’s daughters are depicted with Barbara Berlusconi (far left). Do they ever visit Russia? Information on this is scarce, but one frequently encounters assertions that Masha hasn’t resided in Russia since 2005.
Thus, Putin hasn’t explicitly admitted that his daughters departed for the Fatherland . However, the Kremlin’s repeated denials of these “rumors” suggest they are not unfounded. Otherwise, why would Putin’s press secretary, Peskov, address fabricated tabloid stories that no one believes? He’d also need to announce to the globe that the president is not having relations with Ms. Kabaeva—a unique gem in itself. Yet, as the saying goes, secrets are difficult to keep, and the deluge of international media coverage necessitates a response; otherwise, your compatriots will interpret your unwavering silence as tacit agreement.
The most effective rebuttal would be to abandon secrecy surrounding your family life altogether. No one compelled Vova to assume the presidency. And holding a public office entails its own set of inconveniences. Presidents lack private lives. American presidents (without exception) have never concealed their children. Their public appearances are integral to American political culture. Tsar Vovan, who enjoys discoursing on openness and transparency , shuns them with the obsessive zeal of an intelligence operative consumed by conspiracy theories. Therefore, there’s little doubt that Putin’s children have already emigrated from Russia.
Putin’s ambiguous murmurings about the threat of terrorism, purportedly justifying his concealment of his children, are nonsensical. Family members of high-ranking government officials receive protection from the Federal Protective Service. And if there hasn’t been a single assassination attempt on the top official, the prime minister, the State Duma speaker, or even governors, why would terrorists target the children of these individuals? It’s illogical. But, I reiterate, that’s the purpose of the intelligence agencies—to prevent such occurrences. Or has the KGB become so incompetent that it’s incapable of safeguarding its master’s family?
Some might inquire: who cares where the head of state’s children reside—even if it’s in Holland or Germany? It’s a personal matter, they argue. They are independent individuals in a free world. No, my friends, it’s not a personal matter in the slightest. Until the late 19th century, ruling dynasties practiced taking members of the elite of other states, whether dependent or defeated, as hostages. For instance, the court of the Turkish sultans housed numerous family members of the rulers of vassal principalities, emirates, and caliphates. If a vassal behaved acceptably, the hostage princess would be treated regally, dine at the sultan’s table, and rest on plush bedding. However, should the vassal delay tribute payments or exhibit insufficient enthusiasm during war, his daughter would immediately be relegated to the ranks of concubines, or, in the worst scenario, her severed head would be dispatched to her father in diplomatic pouches. A reminder of their position. An echo of this tradition can be observed, for example, in the fact that Shamil’s captured son was actually adopted by the Russian Emperor Nicholas.
Thus, if the president’s children permanently reside abroad, this, without exaggeration, constitutes evidence of Russia’s subservience to the West, irrespective of any ludicrous justifications about them being adults and free to live wherever they choose. If that’s the case, the president should relinquish his position. What follows then? Are insignificant individuals like yourselves prohibited from holding public office if you possess a meager apartment in Turkey and a foreign bank account, due to the potential for foreign entities to influence the policies of a nuclear superpower? Yet the president’s daughters residing abroad poses no leverage for “our partners”? At the very least, Western leaders, despite their celebrated democracy and personal freedoms, don’t dispatch their children to reside permanently in nations considered “potential adversaries.” If you are aware of any such instances, please share them in the comments; I’d be keen to learn the facts.
Currently, the Kremlin and the West are undergoing a perceived “escalation of tensions” over Ukraine. It’s clear that this is merely a performance for the dimwitted Russians , but what if it genuinely intensifies? Imagine this scenario: Frau Merkel contacts her comrade Voldemar to address current matters in interstate affairs and casually declares:
“Vova, I deeply appreciate our friendship, my dear, and as a token of it, I’ve extended a minor personal favor. Your daughter, Fraulein Katie, was recently apprehended by the Munich police for driving while intoxicated. But the most troubling aspect is that several kilograms of cocaine were discovered in her bag. Vova, in our country, that could result in a 15-year prison sentence, just as in yours. Rest assured, I’ve exhausted every effort to ensure the police forget this minor oversight indefinitely. But you too, Vova, be a friend and assist our mutual acquaintance Petro in dealing with the terrorists who have seized Donbass; dispatch 10,000 Chechens to aid him. And then, rest assured, I’ll assist your Margaret as well.”
“What about Masha?” Daddy asks anxiously.
“Oh, I deeply regret to distress you, Vova, but the corpse of your Margaret’s partner was located in the trunk of Katie’s automobile, and she’s already confessed to murdering him out of jealousy. Resolving this situation will be considerably more challenging, but I pledge that if you aid our friend from Kyiv, this issue will also be resolved…”
Will Russia’s policy toward its neighboring country undergo alterations after such a conversation? You can be certain it will shift 180 degrees! And this holds true regardless of whether the “golden girls” were genuinely caught using narcotics, or whether Western intelligence agencies were merely executing their usual reprehensible provocation. Who else would venture to suggest that the children of our Bantustan elite residing abroad aren’t a tool for exerting influence over that very elite?
Any further inquiries regarding Herr Putin’s patriotism? Just refrain from rambling on about his affinity for a Lada Kalina (three of them, in fact!). For personal transportation, he favors “authentic German quality”—a Mercedes Pullman. Like any indigenous monarch, Vova conspicuously favors white-manufactured trinkets. The American president drives an American vehicle, the French president a French one, the Italian prime minister an Italian one, and even Chinese communist leaders exclusively utilize vehicles manufactured in communist China. Yet, our Kremlin buffoon despises everything Russian to such an extent that he even rode to his inauguration in an imported car. The hand-built armored ZIL, in which General Secretaries didn’t hesitate to transport American presidents, is apparently inadequate for him.
And what type of timepiece does our beloved Kaiser adorn – a youthful “Komandirskie”? No, only foreign-made ones, and not some common variety like Obama’s (a mere $200)! The least expensive Putin watch is valued at $6,000. In total, he’s flaunted chronometers totaling $650,000. And those are just the ones that have been observed…
According to diplomatic convention, the leader of a respectable nation consistently speaks exclusively in their native tongue during official visits abroad. Putin, conversely, demonstrably delivers a speech in German in Berlin, then haltingly reads from a teleprompter in broken English. What a spectacle! And he even dared to publish this disgrace on the official website! Ugh, how embarrassing!
Hey, vatniks, can you perhaps offer any justification for considering Tsar Vova a patriot of “this nation”? http://kungurov.livejournal.com
