VLADIMIR Putin’s rumoured secret daughter has broken her silence on the Russian dictator for the first time with cryptic social media posts.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, 22, also known as Luiza Rozova, vented about a man who “destroyed” her life and revealed her feelings about Russia‘s war in Ukraine.

Luiza, an art school graduate living in Paris, alluded to “the man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine” – seemingly a bitter rebuke of her reported father.
The posts do not explicitly name Putin, but in the context of widespread reports about her father’s identity can be understood as a direct dig at the tyrant.
In another post, she wrote: “It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again.
“It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,” reports Bild, which has a reporter with access to the woman’s private Telegram channel “Art of Luiza”.
On her Instagram account, Luiza had been ensuring to hide her face, but lately she has shared full photos of herself.
She does not specify when or where the photos were taken, but the most recent is in the Russian café chain “Surf Coffee”.
Luiza was born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg and is believed to be the child of an affair between Putin and his former cleaner Svetlana Krivonogich.
Claims about the identity of her father were first made public by the the Kremlin-critical investigative project “Proekt” back in 2020.
Her mother reportedly became very wealthy in the wake of her birth – fuelling speculation that the money had come from Putin in order to buy her silence.
Luiza previously had visible social media accounts in Russia, which showed her whizzing around the world in private jets, DJing in exclusive clubs and wearing designer gear.
But then, shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine, her account was suddenly deleted.
She has since moved to Paris, and graduated from the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in June 2024.
After leaving Russia, she lamented on Telegram: “I can’t make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg.
“I can’t visit my favourite places and establishments.”
Who is Luiza Rozova?
LUIZA Rozova, born Elizaveta Krivonogikh, is the 22-year-old rumoured illegitimate daughter of Vladimir Putin.
She is allegedly the love child from an affair between the dictator and his former cleaner, Svetlana Krivonogikh.
These claims were first made by the Kremlin-critical investigative project “Proekt” back in 2020.
She often used to share details of her lavish life on Instagram, until the page was suddenly taken down around the time of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Luiza is reported to have moved to Paris and graduated from a course at the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in June 2024.
She posts in a private Telegram channel called “Art of Luiza”, where she has made allusions to her reported father.
Lately her digital footprint has re-emerged with a much-changed image.
She seems to have become more political and speaks openly against the war in Ukraine – and now denounces luxury.
Reports say she is working at L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil – both art galleries in Paris which host anti-war exhibitions.
She has also adopted the name Elizaveta Rudnova – apparently after Oleg Rudnov, one of Putin’s late cronies, in an attempt to conceal her true identity.
Her role as gallery manager is said to include helping to organise shows and make videos.
But Luiza’s attempt to slot into dissident circles in Paris has not gone without resistance.

Artist Nastya Rodionova, who fled Russia in 2022, issued a furious statement and cut her ties with the two galleries Luiza is associated with.
In a Facebook post, she wrote: “It’s important to say that I believe in the presumption of innocence and that children are not responsible for the crimes of their parents.
“But with the war reaching its heights it is inadmissible to allow a person who comes from a family of beneficiaries of [Putin’s] regime to come into confrontation with the victims of that regime.
“We need to know who we are working with and decide whether we are ready for that. My personal answer in this case is no.”
Luiza has defended her position and wrote: “Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can’t even hear me?”
Dmitry Dolinsky, director of L Association which controls Studio Albatros and L Galerie, backed Luiza’s involvement.
He told The Times: “She looks like Putin but so do 100,000 other people. I haven’t seen a DNA test.”
Other insiders backed her, calling her a “cultured person” and “excellent worker”.
But Rodionova hit back, insisting that victims of the war shouldn’t be forced to share space with anyone tied to the regime – alleged daughter or not.
Rudnova’s mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, was sanctioned by the UK in 2023 and linked to Putin’s inner circle by independent Russian media.
