Back in February of 2011, I featured ALINA KABEYEVA as Mistress of the Month, for her highly rumored relationship with President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Although President Putin desires that there be no coverage of his personal life, Alina, a rhythmic gymnast, was a star athlete in her time, an Olympic gold medal winner, famous in her own right due to her accomplishments and beauty, and has been an irresistible topic for journalists.
While awarded a professional position in business in which she reportedly earns about $8 million a year, the mysterious Putin as a lover and father of two to four children, simply makes her even more interesting. (Since my postings on her, in which I mentioned she reportedly has had two sons, there are reports that she also has twin daughters. There have also been mentions that she as well as Putin have been seen in public wearing wedding bands. Further, there are reports of a young daughter of another Putin mistress living in Monaco.) Now there is a call for Alina and her children to leave Switzerland, where she is reportedly living in a well secured house. Because of the myriad of takes on this situation I want to mention an awareness but also that these reports remain "where there's smoke, there's fire." Therefore, I'm not going to link to any news posts or a post that might be more correct than another at the moment while continuing to watch the story build.
I've been following the news on the war against Ukraine by Russia intensely and I don't want my readers to think otherwise. I'm horrified at the aggression, the attacks on civilians, the destruction of infrastructure such as hospitals, theaters, and schools, and have engaged personally with a number of know-it-all men who have a variety of military and political theories about the entire situation, but I think our President Joseph Biden has a wealth of information from our own military and intelligence and is wise to act as a gentleman to the bully. And I sure do wonder what Edward Snowden might have to say, since he applied to be a duel citizen of Russia and the United States.
What, if anything does Alina know or think? My guess is that if she is not living in Switzerland, the reports that President Putin has removed his family to an underground city (not just a bunker) in Siberia could even be right.
It's simply impossible for me to imagine that Putin is currently sane because it is currently impossible for me to imagine that he believes what he is saying. So many people continue to believe the myths of motivation and other information that he controls. He is being compared to Stalin, to Hitler, and one article I read regarding Alina Kabaeva suggested she was his "Eva Braun." ***
Three weeks ago it was reported by some news outlets that the Russians would give it a few days. Now the situation seems to be more intense than ever. Sanctions are in place that are intended to cancel the wealth of the Oligarchs, there are reports of people who were in hiding being taken as prisoners to work as slave labor for two or three years, reports of women over the age of 60 being raped and hung or committing suicide. Overall it is tragic and frightening.
The Mistresses of Dictators sometimes give a whole new meaning to the idea that a Woman Should Stand By Her Man!
