Despite the obscurity surrounding the personal life of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the 71-year-old ex-KGB officer has purportedly been linked to Ekaterina “Katya” Mizulina, 39. The London-educated Barbie-like censorship director now leads Russia’s Safe Internet League and has been dubbed Vladimir Putin’s “morality guardian”.
The Daily Mail reported on the purported Putin love affair, citing Ukrainian media sources. Katya is the daughter of Elena Mizulina, a pro-Putin senator who is outspokenly anti-Ukrainian.
The new development’s unsettling undercurrents also connect to critics’ claims that she resembles Putin’s former flames. The list includes his ex-wife, Lyudmila Putina, a former flight attendant with whom he was married from 1983 to 2014. Putin supposedly has two secret children with Olympic gold medalist gymnast Alina Kabaeva.
Regarding the supposed new Vladimir Putin relationship
Late Kremlin foe Alexei Navalny first revealed Vladimir Putin and Ekaterina Mizulina’s relationship. Furthermore, Russian journalist and prisoner rights campaigner Olga Romanova leaked the article to Ukraine’s Channel 4: “Katya Mizulina is to Putin’s taste”. “This Barbie type has always suited him perfectly.”
More about Ekaterina Mizulina
In 2004, Mizulina graduated from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. The 39-year-old held a degree in art history and Indonesian.
Her professional experience also includes serving as a translator in official Russian missions to China. Her father, Professor Mikhail Mizulin, is a 69-year-old Moscow scholar.
Her past arrogant assertions about online censorship and anti-Ukraine sentiments led her to vow, “We will clean up Ukraine from the Nazis and bandits, and then we will get to Google and Wikipedia.”
According to accounts, during a meeting with students earlier this month, Mizulina asked that a student repent for his queries about required military duty.
