Photographs and footage smuggled out of Russia show Ivan, 10, and Vladimir Jr., 6, at a sports event organized by Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast, who is said to be the partner of Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

The boy believed to be Ivan is interviewed and talks about the “cool” gymnastics exercises he learned from Olympic champions Alexei Nemov, Evghenia Kanaeva, and Taghir Khaibulaev, in a video clip obtained and published by the online channel OSINT Bees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems that the filming was done in January, after Kabaeva brought the famous athletes to hold a masterclass for her sons, at the academy she runs and which bears her name.<\/p>\n

Putin extremely carefully protects his alleged secret children and isolates them for fear they could be assassinated. The boys and their mother are said to live a very secluded life in a fortified complex in a forest in Valdai, northwest of Moscow.<\/p>\n
