In the Parisian art scene, a “secret” daughter Vladimir Putin has caused a sensation as curator of anti-war art. Not everyone is thrilled.
Russia’s head of state Vladimir Putin has two daughters. Officially. But details about the family remain secret. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow only explained: “Yes, he has daughters.” And: “He prefers not to bring them to the public.”
In Paris, a Russian exhibition maker now causes a stir. Your name: Eliza Rudnowa. She has been studying art and cultural management in Paris for five years. She also works in the galleries “Studio Albatros” and “L Gallery”. There she curaded to look at anti-war art. The Russian exile artist Nastia Rodionowa now unveiled in the “Meduza” portal: behind Eliza Rudnowa is Elizaweta Kriwonogikh, a “secret” daughter Vladimir Putins.
The “Project” investigative portal had already reported an extramarital daughter of Putin five years ago. At that time, the portal dealt with the enigmatic rise of Swetlana Kriwonogikh. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, the former cleaner from Saint Petersburg made it to a fabulous wealth with luxury real estate and shares in the bank “Rossija”.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the woman landed on the EU sanction list. Her daughter Elizaweta Kriwonogikh was born in 2003. At the time, according to “Project”, Swetlana Kriwonogikh had a relationship with Putin.
Kriwonogikh’s daughter initially made a name for himself in the Moscow club scene as a DJane. She was also active on social media. After the Russian invasion of 2022, however, she withdrew. She called herself Luisa Rozowa, sometimes Eliza Rudnowa.
According to the Russian exile artist Rodionowa, Putin’s secret daughter is now exhibiting anti-war works from Russia and Ukraine in Paris. When asked about the ominous exhibition maker, one of the gallery owners only explained to her: As a rule, he did not ask about the parents of his employees.
The reaction is somewhat clearer on social networks: “disgusting”, writes a user on the Facebook page of the “L Gallery”. She now reacted with a statement and explained: “We condemn the demands of some of the stigmatization or ‘collective penalties’ and again emphasize that nobody should be condemned because of their origin, place of birth, his descent or other criteria on which he has no influence.”
The exhibition maker does not refer to the galleries website. But the titles of the latest watch give an insight into their thematic orientations.
In the “Studio Albabtros” there was recently an exhibition on civil disobedience.
In the “L Gallery” there were several views on the subject of war and destruction. For example, an exhibition by the artist duo Sacha and Ivan Afonsky entitled “Vivre” – live. It is about works, as the gallery writes that tell about uncertainties and the desire to live.
The artist Varvara Vasilyev called her show “Cette Maison a Brûlé” – this house was burned down.
