Observers have noted that Ekaterina Mizulina's role within the Safe Internet League aligns with Putin's agenda of curbing criticism and dissent against Russia and its leadership, particularly concerning the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Her involvement in such a pivotal organization underscores her proximity to the corridors of power in Moscow and potentially to Putin himself.
Commentators and human rights campaigners have weighed in on the alleged relationship, with Olga Romanova describing Mizulina as "completely to Putin's taste," citing her Barbie-like appearance as a quality that resonates with the Russian president.
"Katya Mizulina is completely to Putin's taste. This Barbie type has always suited him very well," she told Ukraine's Channel 24 as quoted by a New York Post report.
The reported romantic involvement between Putin and Mizulina comes amidst longstanding rumors linking Putin to former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, with whom he is believed to share three children. Putin's divorce from his wife of 30 years, Lyudmila, in 2014, further fueled speculation about his personal life and relationships.
While Ukrainian media outlets and Russian Telegram channels have been abuzz with reports of Putin's closeness to Mizulina, no official confirmation has been forthcoming. The lack of concrete evidence has led to cautious discussions, with sources remaining guarded about the authenticity of the claims.
Ekaterina Mizulina's educational background, including her graduation from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, adds an international dimension to her profile. Her fluency in Indonesian language and prior experience as a translator for Russian delegations visiting China highlight her diverse skill set and global outlook.
Mizulina's notable statements, such as her pledge to "clean Ukraine from the Nazis" and her aspirations regarding internet regulation, offer insights into her worldview and priorities within the Russian political landscape.
Reports suggesting Putin's lavish spending on Alina Kabaeva, including her alleged residence on his estate near Lake Valdai, shed light on the opulent lifestyle associated with the Russian president's inner circle.
As rumors continue to swirl and speculation mounts, the alleged relationship between Vladimir Putin and Ekaterina Mizulina underscores the intrigue and fascination surrounding Russia's political elite. However, until official confirmation or concrete evidence emerges, the nature of their association remains shrouded in mystery, leaving room for conjecture.
