Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska has fathered four children since 2021, two with a college student and two registered to his cousin

Billionaire Oleg Deripaska has fathered at least four children since 2021. Two of them are listed as having been born to the oligarch’s cousin, and two others were born to a Bauman Moscow State Technical University student — who was 19 when she began her relationship with the oligarch, according to a report by the investigative project All Exclusive.

Civil registry records from the Ust-Labinsk District of Russia’s Krasnodar Krai show Deripaska listed as the father of two sons (born in 2021 and 2024) and two daughters (born in 2023 and 2024). All carry the businessman’s last name and patronymic (“Olegovich” or “Olegovna”). According to All Exclusive, the mother of the older two is identified in documents as Viktoria Brazhnik, Deripaska’s cousin. Brazhnik’s father, Alexei Yezubov, is an MP in the State Duma from the ruling United Russia party and is the brother of Deripaska’s mother, Valentina Deripaska.

Brazhnik would have been 49 and 51 at the time of the births. All Exclusive suggests Deripaska may have simply fabricated documents in order to avoid listing the biological mother on the birth certificate, thereby depriving her of any claim to financial support. According to the outlet, Klavdia Lursmanashvili gave birth to twins by Deripaska in August last year.
