Biography

Krivonogikh was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), on 10 March 1975.[3][4]

She attended Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance in the Department of International Economic Relations, receiving her diploma in 2000.[3]

Krivonogikh has a daughter, Elizaveta (also known as Luiza Rozova),[5][6][7] born on 3 March 2003.[8] An investigation by Proekt Media published in November 2020 alleged that Elizaveta's father is Russian president Vladimir Putin.[3][9]

Krivonogikh's name became known with the 2020 Proekt investigation, which documented her connection to Putin as well as her financial assets and properties in Russia.[3] Her name became more widely known in connection with the Pandora Papers published by ICIJ in October 2021, which revealed her assets overseas.[8]

Sanctions

In February 2023, due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Krivonogikh was sanctioned by the United Kingdom over her being a shareholder in the National Media Group which "consistently promotes the Russian assault in Ukraine".[10][11]
