Putin's youngest son with famous gymnast named 'Vlad Jnr' pictured for first time

New photos have emerged of Vladimir Putin's youngest son who he had with a famous gymnast.

Little is known about Vladimir Junior, 6, whose mum is Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 42. After a successful career in gymnastics, she later turned into one of the dictator's crony politicians. Putin's youngest child was born in Moscow in 2019 and like his brother Ivan, ten, there is no official information available about him, or the despot’s long relationship with their athlete mother. These new images emerged after details of the shocking £321,000 annual salaries for the young boy's private tutors were revealed by a Russian anti-corruption campaigner.

Campaigner Maria Pevchikh revealed astonishing details of how the "princes" were educated at home in Putin’s hidden palaces by tutors on astounding salaries. Leaked data shows the teachers are secretly paid by a company linked to Putin-friendly oligarch Gennady Timchenko, 72, who also supports Kabaeva and boasts a £16 billion fortune.

Details of the Putin boys' German language tutors were leaked - Sofia Bozic, 33, a Bosnian citizen, and Irene Ens, 36, from Germany. Pevchikh said: "Sofia Bozic and Irene Enns regularly travel by train to Uglovka and Akulovka stations. These are the nearest railway stations to Putin’s residence in Valdai, where he is believed to spend most of his time with his children and Alina Kabaeva…."

The campaigner, a long-time ally of Kremlin foe Alexei Navalny who was "murdered" last year in his hellhole Arctic jail, emphasised how shocking Vladimir Jrs tutors' salaries were compared to ordinary Russian teachers.

Pevchikh said: "If primary school teachers from the regions — even from Moscow — are watching me now, I apologise in advance, brace yourselves. The tutors of Putin’s children receive 2,900,000 rubles a month (£26,775).

"This monthly salary is comparable to the pay of a German teacher in [the Russian provinces] for seven years. And they’re not paid by the pupils’ father — after all, Putin’s official salary is three times less than that of the foreign tutor."

The campaigner claimed the money for these extortionately expensive and exclusive private tutors did not come from the tyrant but from one of his crony billionaires.

Pevchikh added: "[The money comes from] Gennady Timchenko, who holds Putin’s cashbox. That’s the essence of the corruption system built by Vladimir Putin. From the very start of his first presidential term [in 2000] it was designed this way….and it continues to develop at a furious pace."

Timchenko also made a payment of £4.6 million to Kabaeva’s foundation, according to Pevchikh in a new investigation called 'Putin's Common Fund: Who Pays for Putin and Kabaeva's Luxurious Life?' The anti-Putin activist said: "Well, Putin can’t just transfer it to her from his own salary card. And that’s when dear comrade Timchenko comes to the rescue, transferring it from the place where the common money is kept."

Putin foes claim the dictator is one of the richest men in the world, with his secret fortune looked after by friendly oligarchs like Timchenko yet until now there has been scant proof of such "cashbox" arrangements - officially he earns around £94,000 a year. Elder son Ivan was pictured this year at a gymnastics event held at Valdai.
