Putin and lyudmila met in 1980, when lyudmila was a flight attendant of Kaliningrad United Airlines, and he was already working in the KGB, but it was a long time before lyudmila knew. On July 28th, 1983, 31-year-old Putin and 25-year-old lyudmila held a simple wedding in the "floating boat" restaurant of a cruise ship in neva river. After marriage, they have two lovely daughters.
Putin and his wife lyudmila are at the Great Wall.
"There will be a wedding on June 15th."
According to reports, in fact, the "scandal" between Putin and Kabayeva has been circulating among Russian people for some time, but it was not exposed by Russian media such as Moscow Reporter until a few days ago. It is not clear when Putin and Kabayeva started this "secret love affair". However, a Russian website claimed that not long ago, witnesses saw Putin and Kabayeva kissing in a high-end restaurant in Moscow. Obviously, the feelings between the two sides have reached a very deep level.
According to Moscow Reporter, Putin will hold a grand wedding on June 15th to formally marry Kabayeva. At that time, Putin was already the Russian Prime Minister. It is said that the wedding venue will be in Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg, and the whole wedding will be extremely luxurious. According to a source from a wedding planning company in St. Petersburg, the details of the wedding have not yet been determined, and the company is vying for the hosting contract for this wedding.
On April 15th, Moscow Reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Marat Kabayev, Putin’s "future father-in-law" and Kabayeva’s father. Kabayev said that he didn’t know that his daughter was going to marry Putin, but if the news was true, he would be very happy to agree to the marriage. Kabayev said happily, "If Alina wants to marry Putin, it will be a very good thing, and I will only feel very happy. But Putin must know that he has to handle this matter very carefully. "
At the same time, many members of the State Duma are also surprised by the rumors. On 15th, Khorkina, a close friend of Kabayeva, a Russian "gymnastics queen" and Olympic champion, and now a member of the State Duma, was surprised to say that she had never heard of Kabayeva’s intention to marry Putin before: "I don’t know anything, although Alina and I are best friends."
