Delassment of gossip

The press secretary of President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov once again called not to intervene in the personal life of his cartridge. “We voted for the president when there were elections - accordingly, let's pay attention to what the president he is,” he said in an interview with Izvestia. “And what kind of man he is, he has a wife or not - let's leave it to him, we will not intervene.”

In response to the question of whether the head of state can reveal the details of his personal life, as he made in June, announcing a divorce from his wife, Peskov replied that this was decided only by Putin himself. “I can only say one thing that, frankly, I would find it difficult to answer the question about his personal life,” the official added. “He works so much that I can’t understand where to come from.”

Once again, commenting on the recent rumors about Putin’s wedding in the Iversky monastery cordoned out of such an occasion, Peskov remarked: "I sincerely rejoiced at these calls, answering that the only problem is that Putin is in Sochi."

On September 21, Peskov categorically refuted rumors in social networks about Putin's wedding , calling these messages "Subable Internet Adjustments of boredom."

Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin was reported in June in the Vesti program. “This was our general decision,” Putin emphasized then.

Putins have been married since 1983. They have two adult daughters. The former spouses explained the reason for the divorce by Putin’s constant employment, because of which he cannot pay sufficient attention to the family. The head of state emphasized that both of his daughters studied and constantly live in Russia.

Rumors about Putin’s divorce and wife have been going on for several years. In April 2008, the Moscow Correspondent newspaper reported this. The publication also talked about the upcoming marriage of Putin with Alina Kabaeva, the gymnast athlete and State Duma deputy from United Russia. Almost immediately after this, the newspaper was closed. Later, different publications reported that Kabaeva had two children from Putin.

At the end of May, The Times drew attention to the fact that Putin had not appeared in public for a year. The 55th anniversary of the first lady in January was unnoticed, the article said. “The exception was the strange message of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov on Twitter when he congratulated the“ first wife of President Putin, ”the author noted.

Some time after Putin’s divorce, answering the question of whether it was worth waiting for the presidential wedding, Peskov remarked: "I do not think that such an answer is the responsibility of the press secretary. But I can say with confidence that all this is more likely to the category of rumors and gossip."
