Amidst Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the name of gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who is known to be Vladimir Putin’s ‘secret girlfriend’, has come into the limelight. People from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, who oppose Vladimir Putin, have started an online petition against Alina Kabaeva, demanding that Switzerland expel Putin’s girlfriend from the country. It is being claimed that Alina is secretly living in a luxury villa in Switzerland. Kabaeva, 38, has been an Olympic gymnast and has won a gold medal. It is being claimed in Western media reports that she is Putin’s girlfriend and also has children, who are born to Putin.
Alina Kabaeva has also been known as Russia’s most flexible woman. According to media reports, Putin had sent Alina to Switzerland earlier this month. People opposing the attack in Ukraine have now started a petition against Alina. In this, Switzerland has been demanded not to hospitalize Putin’s girlfriend. Although the interesting thing is that no western country including America has imposed sanctions on Alina Kabaeva. Kabaeva has also been given the responsibility of board chairman of Russia’s National Media Group. This media conglomerate is run by the Russian government, which runs TV channels and newspapers.
Vladimir Putin has been seen with Alina many times
Alina Kabaeva also receives a hefty salary of 58 million pounds annually for this position. Usually, Vladimir Putin and Alina Kabaeva are not seen together, but have been seen openly at times. Former gymnast Alina is also rarely seen, but in December, shortly before the Russian attack on Ukraine, she was seen dancing at an event. So far, the online petition against Alina has got the support of 55,000 people. The online petition, filed on change.org, said, ‘We citizens of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are suffering badly due to this war. We urge the Swiss authorities to oust Alina.
Told Putin a war criminal, said – the destruction of crores of people
It has been said in this petition that we have come to know that Russian political and media personality Alina Kabaeva is hiding in Switzerland. She is hiding there to escape the sanctions imposed on Russia. Not only this, in this petition, Putin has been described as a war criminal, saying that Switzerland is hosting his ‘favourite wife’, while he is busy destroying the lives of crores of people.
