Reports have emerged that Russian President Vladimir Putin has another grandchild.
Globalinfo.az reports that the outlet Agentstvo published the information. It said investigative journalists found that Katerina Tikhonova, believed to be his daughter, gave birth to a boy in 2025.
The journalists reached this conclusion after examining leaked databases related to the registration of civil status acts in Russia.
The investigation identifies Katerina Tikhonova as the child’s mother. The presumed father is Russian ballet master Igor Zelensky, the former head of the Bavarian State Ballet.
According to documents obtained by the journalists, the child’s birth was initially registered by the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration. However, the birth was officially registered much later.
The outlet notes that under Russian law, parents must register a child’s birth no later than one month after it occurs. Despite this, the state registration of the birth certificate in question was reportedly delayed.
According to the investigators, the information was obtained from leaked electronic records and compared with other documents. They said they found no signs that the data had been falsified during the verification.
