A Russian investigative journalist, Roman Badanin, known for uncovering details of Vladimir Putin’s personal life, has been placed on a wanted list by Moscow authorities. Badanin, the chief editor of Proekt and Agentsvo, is living in exile abroad and is now wanted by the Russian Interior Ministry, although the reason for his inclusion on the list remains undisclosed.

In a recent book, Badanin alleged that Putin, despite promoting traditional family values publicly, engages in multiple extramarital relationships. One such relationship involved a 17-year-old student named Alisa Kharcheva, who posed for a calendar for Putin’s birthday. The book detailed Putin’s alleged affair with Svetlana Krivonogikh, resulting in the birth of a secret love child named Luiza Rozova. Additionally, the book revealed Putin’s two sons with Alina Kabaeva, who are kept out of the public eye.

According to Badanin’s book, Putin is said to have funded luxury apartments for several gymnasts, including Kabaeva, hinting at his personal relationships with younger women. The book also sheds light on the alleged extramarital affairs of Putin with various women from different professions.

The book paints a stark contrast between Putin’s public image of supporting traditional families and his private life, where extramarital relationships are reportedly common among his inner circle. It also mentions incidents from Putin’s family history, including a violent episode involving his father and mother.

Badanin, previously labeled a “foreign agent,” faced censorship and restrictions on his media outlets for reporting on Putin’s associates and their wealth. His publications have also raised concerns about Putin’s health and his reliance on medical professionals.

Overall, the book by Badanin portrays a different side of Putin, revealing a complex personal life that contrasts with his public persona.
