Vladimir Putin Romantically Linked To Blonde ‘Barbie-Type’ Censorship Advocate 32 Years Younger Than Him

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been romantically linked to a blonde “Barbie-type” woman 32 years younger than him.

Ekaterina “Katya” Mizulina, 39, is a U.K.-educated art historian who also heads Russia’s pro-Kremlin Safe Internet League. She is now known as the 71-year-old president’s “morality guardian.”

“Katya Mizulina is completely to Putin’s taste,” Russian human rights campaigner Olga Romanova told Ukraine’s Channel 24. “This Barbie type has always suited him very well.”

Romanova compared Mizulina to one of Putin’s former love interests, Svetlana Krivonogikh, a strip club owner and multimillionaire and the alleged mother of Putin’s 20-year-old child, Luiza.

“[Putin is] 71 years old, let’s not be ageist,” Romanova said. “In general, the man is in full bloom, why not?”

According to a Russian Telegram site, Putin and Mizulina “have grown close recently,” though no one can offer complete confirmation.

Before joining the Safe Internet League in 2017, Mizulina worked as a translator for official Russian delegations visiting China. Safe Internet has recently been at the forefront of Russia’s censorship efforts, with Mizulina working to advocate for fines and sanctions against media and social networks.

Last year, leaked U.S. military cables said that U.S. intelligence believes that Putin is suffering from cancer.

This week, Putin promoted the prison official who is accused of tormenting his opponent, Alexei Navalny, before his death.
