Vladimir Putin's personal life has often been shrouded in secrecy but recent reports published today in the Daily Telegraph and cover details about his alleged relationship with Alina cabaya the former Olympic gymnast and their two young Sons Ivan and Vladimir Putin Jr aged 9 and five respectively and they reportedly live in isolation at a luxurious Hideway in valai a secured location just north of Moscow and their upbringing reflects a sheltered and a privileged life surrounded by Kremlin appointed caretakers tutors security agents chefs who provide their meals in specially isolated forms who provide their uh drinks in individual cups that never touched by anybody else because they like their father are afraid of poisoning according to the dossier Center a group founded by the exiled oligarch mikal kovski the children's Mother Elena cabaya has long been Putin's partner that is other than his gay uh Dianes and the boys enjoy a lifestyle filled with toys pets activities but remain largely disconnected from mainstream Russian life probably even unaware of the special military operation that dominates the country and Putin is reportedly protective of them which is lovely to know rather like the fact that Hitler enjoyed uh grooming and looking after dogs but he is concerned about the Western cultural influences uh particularly the noted fact that Ivan enjoys imitating Disney characters despite his father's preference for Soviet cartoons you know the little the little boy who floats around flies around in the in the um Soviet airspace and these details are of Soviet cartoons are very good by the way and it should be remembered that when Disney first produced The Three Little Pigs he sent a real of The Three Little Pigs directly to Moscow for the opinion of the Moscow animators because Disney understood recognized that Moscow animation was First Rate which it which it was which it is and these details if accurate further pain to picture of the guarded and highly controlled personal World surrounding Russia's president where security and privacy uh and paranoia are Paramount and even family life is subject to tight Kremlin supervision it's sad but probably fairly um fairly accurate I should have thought
