Childhood & Early Life
Katerina Tikhonova was born as Ekaterina Putina on August 31, 1986 in Dresden, East Germany, Vladimir Putin was posted while he was working for KGB. She is the younger daughter of Putin and his ex-wife Lyudmila Putina, and has an older sister named Mariya Putina. Her mother, who had once revealed that Putin loves his two daughters very much, got divorced from him in 2013.
Katerina dropped her father's surname and adopted the patronymic name of her maternal grandmother, Yekaterina Tikhonovna Shkrebneva, as her surname. She attended German School Moscow, and later completed Oriental studies from St. Petersburg University, specializing in Japanese and history. She is currently attached to Moscow State University.
Rise to Stardom
Since Vladimir Putin assumed power in 2000, speculation has been rife that Katerina Tikhonova is his younger daughter. Putin has carefully shielded his personal life and that of his family members from the media. Nevertheless, numerous anonymous sources who have seen her grow up from a child have confirmed the rumors over the years and she has stayed in the news constantly. In 2011, Putin told Russian television that she had completed Oriental studies, specializing in Japanese and history, at St. Petersburg University. In January 2015, Russian blogger Oleg Kashin reported that she was active at Moscow State University and had taken the surname Tikhonova. During the same time Gazprombank’s Andrey Akimov, and two senior academic sources confirmed her to be Putin's younger daughter.
According to a January 2015 report, Tikhonova visited Switzerland together with Kirill Shamalov, during which she identified herself as his wife. In October 2017, it was reported that she was one of the frontrunners among the next generation of Russia's elite and that Putin was grooming her to lead the country in the future. After long speculation, it was confirmed on November 28, 2017 that Katerina Tikhonova was the daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin after World Rock‘n‘Roll Confederation officially identified her as such.
Marriage & Divorce
In February 2013, Katerina Tikhonova married Kirill Shamalov, who is the son of her father's friend Nikolay Shamalov, a co-owner of Rossiya Bank, which U.S. officials have described as the personal bank of the Russian elite. The wedding ceremony was held in a heavily guarded and secret event at Igora, a ski resort in the hills about an hour’s drive north of St. Petersburg, owned by Putin's friend Yuri Kovalchuk. The couple reportedly rode in a traditional Russian sleigh drawn by three white horses, and the guests wore white scarves embroidered with the letters 'K&K' in red thread.
Interestingly, marriage to Putin's younger daughter changed the fortune of the emerging businessman. He quickly rose up the ranks of the Russia's rich and acquired stakes at the Russian petrochemical giant Sibur, which raised the net value of his fortune to $2 billion. The couple also owns a four-storey property in the French seaside resort of Biarritz.
In January 2018, citing four anonymous sources, Bloomberg.com reported that Katerina has separated from her husband Kirill. Reportedly, he sold his stake at Sibur and went back to working as a senior executive because his ownership privileges to those shares as Putin's family member ended with the marriage.
