32-year-old “Barbie”-like woman has been romantically linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ekaterina “Katya” Mizulina, 39, an art historian with a degree from the UK who is the leader of Russia’s pro-Kremlin Safe Internet League, has been revealed as 71-year-old Putin’s mistress.
“Katya Mizulina is completely to Putin’s taste,” Russian human-rights campaigner Olga Romanova told Ukraine’s Channel 24.
“This Barbie [expletive] type has always suited him very well.”
Romanova compared Mizulina to another former purported lover of Putin: Svetlana Krivonogikh, a multimillionaire and proprietor of a strip club in St. Petersburg who is purportedly the mother of the president’s 20-year-old love child, Luiza.

“[Putin is] 71 years old, let’s not be ageist,” Romanova said sarcastically. “In general, the man is in full bloom, why not?”
Putin, who separated from his 30-year-old wife Lyudmila in 2014, has long been linked to 40-year-old Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast; the two are thought to be parents to two or three children.
Nevertheless, there have been rumours going around in Ukrainian media and independent Russian Telegram channels that he has discovered a “new flame for companionship” in Mizulina, the daughter of a 69-year-old member of parliament named Elena Mizulina.
According to the Russian Telegram site Kremlevskaya Tabakerka, the online censorship activist and the belligerent Russian leader “have grown close recently.”
The site stressed that its sources “were extremely careful in talking about it, because no one can offer a 100% confirmation.”
In 2004, Elena Mizulina, her mother, obtained degrees in art history and Indonesian language from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies.
Before becoming a member of the Safe Internet League in 2017, she was employed as a translator for official Russian delegations travelling to China.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
