Putin's illegitimate daughter has published her first photo and criticized her alleged father: “The man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine.” Luiza Rozova, widely believed to be Vladimir Putin's illegitimate daughter, has spoken openly for the first time about her family and life in exile. Born on March 3, 2003, in St. Petersburg under the name Elizaveta Krivonogikh, she changed her name to Luiza Rozova at age 14. Her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh - reportedly once Putin's lover - suddenly became rich after the girl's birth. In 2020, Russian investigative outlet Proekt revealed that Svetlana became a minority shareholder in Bank Rossiya, due to her close ties with Putin. Luiza has never publicly confirmed on her possible relationship with Putin. Her birth certificate reportedly leaves the "father" line blank but lists her patronymic as "Vladimirovna." Until now, she carefully avoided showing her full face on social media. That changed this week when she posted open selfies along with a stark caption: "It feels so good to show my face to the world again. Every day it reminds me of who I was born to - and who destroyed my life. A man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine." However, she does not mention Putin by name. In June, Russian émigré artist Nastya Rodionova, now based in France, revealed on Facebook that Rozova was working at Paris's L Galerie, which exhibits anti-war art. Rodionova declined to collaborate with any galleries affiliated with Rozova. Now, Luiza has responded directly: "Am I really to blame for the actions of a family that doesn't even hear me?" Back in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Rozova posted a black square on Instagram with the words "No to War" in English. She wrote: "I'm honestly surprised that some people seriously believe I'm responsible for what's happening in the world, or that I somehow have the power to change it. Let's be honest: would someone mad enough to declare war on the entire world really abandon his plans because of some paternal feelings?"
