Little is known about Vladimir Putin’s children. It is confirmed that he has two daughters from his first marriage. His firstborn has now given a rare interview – and her statements are astonishing.
Maria Vorontsova’s life is a state secret. The Russian ruler does not talk about the doctor or her younger sister Katerina Tikhonova. Putin’s private life is taboo, Russian journalists know that.
Russia, the ‘people-oriented’ state
But now one of his daughters is speaking. In the midst of her father’s barbaric war of aggression against Ukraine, 38-year-old Vorontsova described Russia as a people-centered state. This was reported by the news site Agentstvore.
An excerpt from the interview:
“For us, the value of human life is a supreme value,” Vorontsova said in the conversation, which was probably recorded in mid-December. She conducted the interview with “Medtech.Mocsow,” a non-profit organization affiliated with the Moscow mayor’s office.
Vorontsova’s dream of self-recognition
Since the start of the war, Putin has terrorized not only Ukrainians, but also his own people. The propaganda machines are running at full speed and freedom of expression de facto no longer exists.
The Russians have been burned at the front for more than two years. It is estimated that well over half a million people on both sides were killed or injured. Anyone who criticizes Putin’s war should expect drastic punishment. Political opponents are intimidated, imprisoned or murdered. But Vorontsova believes: “Russia is a people-oriented society.”
She added: “I dream that people will have the opportunity to know themselves, so that we can all understand each other better and communicate better.” A dream that her father obviously does not share. She didn’t talk about the war, but about her passions.
The firstborn gave a lecture on global medical advances. About her literary, musical and sporting interests. Even in her spare time she reads scientific or medical literature. Everything that is beautiful inspires her: “paintings, museums, theater, music.”
What is known about Vorontsova?
Kremlin protocol will also be strictly adhered to during this conversation. She doesn’t talk about her father. Putin has never publicly admitted that she and Tikhonova are his daughters.
During one of his marathon press conferences in 2015, he dodged questions about the identities of his children. “My daughters live in Russia and studied only in Russia, I am proud of them,” he said. “You speak three foreign languages fluently. I don’t talk to anyone about my family.”
Daughters on sanctions lists
Outside Russia his demand falls away. Shortly after the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, Putin’s daughters Vorontsova and Tikhonova were placed on the sanctions lists of the EU, Britain and the US, their assets were frozen and an entry ban was imposed.
Ultimately, Putin is hiding his assets “with his relatives,” a senior administration official in Washington said.
Putin is a grandfather
In 2020, Putin made it clear in an interview that he did not want to comment on his family due to “security concerns.” At the same time, however, he let the public know that he was a grandfather. However, the ruler did not mention the number of his grandchildren. “I have grandchildren, I’m happy,” he said. ‘You’re very good, so nice. I enjoy spending time with them.”
Vorontsova heads a genetics research program at Lomonosov State University in Moscow, which the US says is “personally supervised by Putin.”
She is also co-author of a book on growth disorders in children and co-owner of the company Nomeko, which conducts research into the ‘Russian genome’ for pathogenic vulnerabilities and treatment options in a research clinic in St. Petersburg.
