While details of Putin’s life and family are minimal outside of Russia, a new report from the Daily Mail unlocks reported details of a palace he shares with his girlfriend and children. The report comes from a report by the Proekt independent media group. The publication included photos of the palace and satellite images.
Inside the Palace: A luxury palace hidden in the forest 250 miles from Moscow is the subject of a new report and inside look at Putin’s life outside the capital city.
The palace in Valdai has served as a royal residence for Putin since he took power in Russia.
The palace is guarded by security service. An armored train can travel to the palace from several locations in Russia. An air defense system is also said to be located nearby the palace, installed as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.

Why It’s Important: Along with the details of the palace, the report notes that Putin reportedly has three children with his girlfriend Alina Kabaeva, which has not been confirmed to date. An investigation by the media outlet said there is a “constant presence of children in the residence.”

The report said Kabaeva also has a penthouse in Sochi, which is said to be one of the largest apartments in Russia.
“She is the uncrowned queen of Russia, the secret concubine of President Putin and the alleged mother of the children,” the report said.
Putin has been the President or Prime Minister of Russia since 1999 and despite being one of the most important people in the world, details of his family life have remained mostly secret.
