With 35,000 signatures collected in a few hours, the activists ask to reunite “Eva Braun with her Hitler”. Translated: they ask the Swiss government to expel Vladimir Putin’s alleged lover from the country, the 38-year-old former gymnast who is reportedly hidden in a villa. The petition on change.org has already reached its maximum limit.
“Despite the ongoing war, Switzerland continues to host an accomplice of Putin’s regime – reads the text, written in German -. The public has just learned that the Russian political and media figure, and former athlete, Alina Kabaeva, is in hiding as a result of the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation in your country. She is the favorite wife of the delusional dictator and war criminal who has treacherously attacked Ukraine in recent weeks. So why now, given the volume of sanctions imposed on Russia, do you continue to host her and her family, while Putin is destroying the lives of millions of people? “
Kabaeva was born 38 years ago in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. Former gymnast with Olympic medals, former model and now politician, she is one of the most influential Russian women and has long been believed to be the lover of President Vladimir Putin, from whom she allegedly had twin daughters, born near Lugano and now seven years. For others, however, her children would be four, all with Swiss passports. Neither the Russian president nor Kabaeva have ever confirmed the relationship, although many remain convinced that the two got married in a private Orthodox ceremony.
The woman is rarely seen in public, but was filmed in a video dancing in Moscow in December when there was already clear concern that Putin might invade Ukraine.
The West has so far not sanctioned Kabaeva, although in addition to being Putin’s alleged secret partner, she is also chairman of the board of directors of the National Media Group, an important television giant and newspaper linked to the Kremlin, with a salary of almost 8 million. of pounds a year.
