25 Strange Facts About Russia’s President Vladimir Putin
22. He likes to keep his private life a secret
Vladimir Putin has also striven to keep family life as private as possible. The level of secrecy is such that we only know that Putin has two daughters; no one else knows about any more children he might have. Putin is reported to have two daughters, Mariya Putina and Yekaterina Outin, whose entire lives have been kept a secret. Some people close to Putin say that his children were born in Dresden, East Germany, somewhere in the 1980s. However, that’s the only detail most people know until now. Putin’s children have never come in front of the camera, and no one knows what they even look like. The Russian media has never covered anything related to Putin’s family, and there has never been an official family photograph.
