Vladimir Putin has reportedly been grooming his secret son to takeover. Russian lawyer, former MP, and political pundit Mark Feygin has suggested that the 71-year-old Russian leader is allegedly planning a dynastic succession by prepping his nine-year-old son for future power.
The claims come amidst the backdrop of Putin’s already controversial and clandestine family life.
Feygin, known for representing the anti-Putin feminist punk band Pussy Riot, shared his insights on Ukrainian TV with host Dmitry Gordon. According to Feygin, Putin has two young sons, Ivan and Vladimir, with his long-term gymnast mistress Alina Kabaeva, who is 40 years old.
The births of Ivan and Vladimir were reportedly overseen by Swiss-based Soviet-born doctor Dr Natalia Thiebaud Kondratieva, who passed away suddenly a year ago, just four days before her role in the births was made public.
The circumstances surrounding her death raise questions about potential secrecy and a possible motive for keeping the information under wraps.
Feygin suggests that Putin is already making moves to secure a dynastic future for his family, with plans to bring his two elder daughters into power as potential “regents” in case of a health failure.
However, the most shocking claim is that Putin intends to continue ruling Russia until his alleged hidden son, Ivan, reaches the age of 18, at which point he plans to hand him control of the Kremlin.
The Russian leader, who publicly acknowledges only two daughters, is believed to have fathered a total of six children.
The secrecy surrounding his family and succession plans has long been a subject of speculation and controversy, with Putin’s authoritarian rule and tight grip on power prompting concerns about the future trajectory of Russia.
As these allegations come to light, questions about the transparency and openness of Putin’s leadership arise, adding another layer of complexity to the already enigmatic political landscape in Russia.
The world watches closely as the details of Putin’s alleged underhand move to pave the way for his ‘secret son’ unfold, raising important questions about the future of Russian governance.
