‘Proud of my daughters’
IN a rare comment on his family life, the Russian president said his two adult daughters were studying in Russia and had never lived permanently abroad.
“They say — and it’s true — that they live in Russia and have never left to live anywhere permanently,” Vladimir Putin said at his end-of-year press conference when asked to comment about his daughters’ whereabouts and occupations.
“They were educated only in Russia, they have only studied in Russian universities,” he said
“I am proud of them. They are studying and working,” he said, adding they were fluent in three European languages.
He said they did not work in business or politics.
Putin’s daughters, Maria and Katerina, born in 1985 and 1986 according to his official biography, are kept away from the limelight, and the Russian president rarely discusses his personal life.
