Granddaughter of Vladimir Putin Shines in Chinese Language
Grandfather Putin publically discusses granddaughter. - Grandfather Putin publicly talks about his granddaughter for the initial time.
In an unprecedented revelation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has let slip that he has a granddaughter, who impressively converses in fluent Chinese! This bombshell was dropped during a Q&A session at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Putin revealed, "When I spoke about some loved ones, relatives, learning Chinese, I spoke about my granddaughter who has a kindergarten teacher from Beijing and speaks fluent Chinese with her."
Although Putin was previously tagged as a grandfather twice, he never named his grandkids or shared their age. The state-owned Russian news agency TASS and TV journalist Pavel Sarubin deemed this revelation significant enough to issue breaking news alerts about it!
The Kremlin leader has always been discreet when it comes to his personal life. He and German teacher Lyudmila shared two daughters: Yekaterina, born in 1986, and Maria, a year older. With speculations surrounding possible mistresses and other children, the fate of Putin's family remains shrouded in secrecy.
Meanwhile, Putin sees a growing interest in the Chinese language in Russia. His close relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Beijing's non-imposition of sanctions and condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, further foster solid ties between the two nations. The all-important conversation with Western journalists at the SPIEF echoed Russia's bid to showcase itself on the global stage and defy the international isolation sought by the West.
Interestingly, Putin's family seems to have a soft spot for the Chinese language. His daughter started learning Chinese in the early 2000s, a tradition that may have passed on to her daughter! With a teacher from Beijing imparting lessons to young Putin's granddaughter, a personal and cultural bond between Putin's family and China is becoming increasingly evident.
