Recent investigations have revealed shocking details about the private lives of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s two young sons, Iwan and Władimir, aged 8 and 4, respectively.

Live in Extreme Secrecy

According to a report from the Dossier Center and SE, these boys live in extreme secrecy, insulated from the outside world, with no access to schools or public registries. Their lives appear to resemble those of royalty, complete with lavish lifestyles and heightened security.

The report describes how Iwan and Władimir are kept in luxurious residences under the protection of the Federal Protective Service (FSO). They travel on yachts and private jets, and their days are filled with personal tutors, nannies, and trainers.

They reportedly have minimal interaction with other children and rarely see their father, yet they cherish the brief moments they do spend with him.

Birth Dates Remain Unknown

Iwan was born in a clinic in Lugano, Switzerland, while Władimir was born in Moscow, both delivered by the same gynecologist.

Their exact birth dates remain closely guarded secrets, known only to their immediate family. The boys do not attend preschool or school; instead, they receive education from private instructors who are sworn to confidentiality.

The Dossier Center also noted that the family recently sought an English tutor for the children, offering a generous salary of €7,700 ($8,239 USD) per month for a 60-hour workweek. The job includes teaching various subjects and accompanying the boys on outings.

The children are said to have a diverse range of activities, including caring for pets like ponies and rabbits, and enjoying a vast collection of toys, including Legos and iPads. Their routine includes breakfast together, followed by lessons, sports, and a structured schedule that emphasizes physical fitness and education.

Evenings are reserved for time with their father, which often includes playing hockey on a private rink built for them in their residence. However, their mother, Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast and Putin’s long-rumored partner, is rarely present, officially claiming the boys are her cousin's children.
