Both aged around thirty, the Russian president’s two daughters participated on June 6 in the International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg.

A unique outing under the flashes of photographers. Almost absent from public life in Russia, the two daughters of President Vladimir Putin broke their habits by participating this Thursday, June 6, at the International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg, according to the story of the independent Russian media Novaya Gazeta Europe.

Born from the union with Lioudmila

Both in their thirties, Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova were born from the union of Vladimir Putin and his former wife Lioudmila, from whom the head of the Kremlin divorced in 2013 after 30 years of marriage.

If Maria (the eldest) was physically present in Saint Petersburg, Katerina was content to make a video intervention, during a forum devoted to guaranteeing “technological sovereignty”. The latter was among the speakers as general director of the National Intellectual Development Foundation (NIDF).

Sanctioned by the United States and the United Kingdom after the start of the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian leader’s youngest daughter spoke at length about innovation and stopping imports of military technologies. Member of the Russian Association for the Promotion of Science, Maria spoke during a panel on innovations in the field of biotechnology and bioproduction.

Luxurious homes in Europe

Very discreet about his family life and in particular his heirs, Vladimir Putin gave the only explanation that his two daughters worked in the fields of science and education and that he had grandchildren. Without ever confirming their names.
