Overview

• Luiza Rozova shared her first face-revealing messages in a private Telegram group, accusing the Russian president of taking “millions of lives” and destroying her own.
• German tabloid BILD retracted its original report on Rozova, citing suspicions that the Telegram account quoting her remarks may be fabricated.
• The Kremlin has repeatedly denied that Rozova is Vladimir Putin’s daughter despite 2020 findings by Proekt and a patronymic in her birth record suggesting ‘daughter of Vladimir.’
• Living in Paris since early 2022, Rozova studies art, organizes anti-war exhibitions and works occasionally as a DJ as part of her activism in exile.
• Media outlets and researchers continue to verify Rozova’s identity and claims, reviewing digital evidence and public records to confirm her background.
