Vladimir Putin hasn't been seen in public for some time, leading to speculation about his location. Some observers suggest he might be staying in one of the secret bunkers.
In contrast, his unofficial partner, Alina Kabaeva, was spotted at a gym in Sochi with a leg injury.
Kabaeva's presence at the training
Kabaeva, a celebrated gymnast and Olympic gold medalist, actively participated in training young gymnasts despite her injury. She is preparing them for upcoming competitions in Qatar, offering her knowledge and expertise.
Her appearance in the gym garnered media attention, especially due to her injury. Kabaeva is dealing with a leg issue and is visibly limping. During the training, Kabaeva not only supported the young athletes but was also unafraid to critique them, demonstrating her high standards.
Mysterious relationship with the Russian leader
Although unofficially, Kabaeva is seen as Russia’s first lady. In one interview, Putin emphasized that his private life is sacred and off-limits to interference. He also criticized "those who, with their runny noses and erotic fantasies, intrude into others' lives."
When asked about her partner, Kabaeva 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 confirmed a relationship with Alina Kabaeva. According to an investigation by the Dossier Center, which monitors the activities of Kremlin figures, Putin and Kabaeva have two sons. In 2022, the United Kingdom and the United States imposed sanctions on Putin's partner.
