According to the New York Post on the 19th (local time), Putin's new girlfriend is known as Ekaterina Katya Mizulina (39), the head of the "Safe Internet League." Russian human rights activist Olga Romanova, who raised the dating rumors, described the woman as "a perfect match for Putin's taste," adding, "Barbie doll-type women have always suited Putin well."


Mizulina is an art historian from the UK, and the Safe Internet League, which she leads, is known as a quasi-governmental organization that assists Russian authorities with censorship. She was born as the daughter of Elena Mizulina (69), a pro-Putin hardline Russian lawmaker, and earned degrees in art history and Indonesian from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London in 2004. Before joining the Safe Internet League in 2017, she worked as an interpreter for official Russian delegations visiting China.


Katya Mizulina is also known for advocating online censorship, fines, and sanctions. She is particularly famous for strictly punishing criticism of President Putin online. In a speech given in May 2022, she sparked controversy by stating, "We will cleanse Ukraine of Nazis."



Meanwhile, President Putin divorced Lyudmila Putina, whom he married in 1983, after about 30 years in 2014, and has had several girlfriends since. Recently, there have been rumors that he is dating former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva (40).
