For more than eight years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in the status of a bachelor. A large number of rumors circulating around the personal life of the country’s leader, but only one woman, Lyudmila Putina, has so far officially had the status of a politician’s wife.
We all remember very well what Lyudmila was like as a first lady, but it’s much more interesting to see how she looked in her youth.
On June 6, 2013, Vladimir Putin and his wife Lyudmila publicly announced their divorce after 30 years of marriage. The love story of the president of the country (at that time still in the future!) and his chosen one began in the early 1980s. They met at a concert by Arkady Raikin, where they came from different companies to have fun.
The lush-haired blonde with slightly sad eyes immediately liked Putin, so he did not hesitate and began to show her unambiguous signs of attention. Soon they started dating, and three years later they got married.
The whole country knew what Putin’s wife looked like in the 2000s when he first took office as president of Russia. For almost 13 years, the whole country has been watching how Lyudmila and her style have changed. At the same time, few people know how the president’s wife looked in her youth.
We became extremely interested in exactly what the girl who once won the heart of the leader of our country looked like. VOICE found a photo of Lyudmila, who is not yet 30 years old. Large curls, minimal make-up, long eyelashes, big eyes, and a polka dot dress… Now we seem to understand why the timid blonde attracted the attention of Vladimir Vladimirovich!
Once Putin admitted that before meeting with Lyudmila he was a convinced bachelor and was not going to part with his freedom. However, the beloved completely changed his views. As a result, they lived in marriage for almost three decades, and during this time they had two daughters.
After a divorce from Putin, which officially took place in 2014, Lyudmila quickly arranged her personal life. According to rumors, in 2016 she married the head of the Center for the Development of Interpersonal Communications and the Literary Study Publishing House Artur Sergeevich Ocheretny, who is 20 years younger than her. Lyudmila left the public arena after breaking up with the president, so there is almost nothing about her in the press. Vladimir Putin, in turn, does not disclose the details of his personal life. For almost eight years he has been single – at least according to the official version.
