The team of Alexei Navalny published an investigation about Putin's ex-wife Lyudmila, who now, after a new marriage, bears the surname Ocheretnaya. The authors claim that in 2006 she started a blog in LiveJournal under the nickname llenaa, in addition to changing only her age – reducing it by 10 years.
The fact that this is her blog is indicated by the coincidences in the biography of Putina and the user llenaa even in the smallest details: llenaa mentions that she has two daughters, one is dancing, the woman herself lived and studied in St. Petersburg, she is a philologist by education, according to the horoscope – Capricorn. User llenaa writes that she worked on a lathe, goes skiing, plays tennis – this is also in Putina's biography. Both went to Ostrovsky's Groza at Sovremennik, both have a white toy poodle. There are other coincidences: llenaa writes that she watched a striptease on the Ripperbahn (a street in Hamburg). A book by a German journalist close to Putin reports that Putin and his friends and their wives went to an erotic show in St. Pauli, Germany. The Ripperbahn is the main street in the area, the authors of the investigation note.
In her blog, llenaa writes that she is frankly bored and has nothing to do. She tried yoga, was fond of psychology, passed tests on the topic “what kind of tattoo suits you”, “what kind of drink are you in sex” and to determine the psychological age. And she complained about her husband, who "drinks her blood."
Investigators found not only a blog, but also two apartments of Putin in Spain, with a total value of more than €2 million. Also, Lyudmila and her new husband Artur Ocheretny own a 450-meter villa on the Cote d'Azur in France for €5.3 million. About this in 2017 reported by the Center for Corruption and Organized Crime Research (OCCRP). Ocheretny owns a lot of luxury real estate in Europe. He owns two villas in Biarritz, an apartment in Davos and two apartments in Malaga. The total value of this property is about 596 million rubles, the authors of the investigation note.
The ex-wife of the President of the Russian Federation also does not live in poverty. She owns a 1774 mansion near the Kremlin, which is leased to Sberbank, VTB and other commercial organizations. This brings her more than 250 million rubles a year, the authors of the material say. In addition, Ocheretnaya (Putina) has a fund, which is officially headed by her new husband. The fund is financed by the Moscow City Hall, Gazprombank and Severstal. This is about 415 million rubles a year.
