Russia reports the death of Putin's cousin: what is known about him

A 91-year-old man, Yevgeny Putin, who is said to be the cousin of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin, has allegedly died in Russia. He was an Ivanovo urologist who "put his patients on their feet" in the 1970s and 1990s.

This was reported by Russian media on March 12. It is noted that the son of Putin's deceased relative is the deputy chairman of Gazprom, and his daughter owns one of the largest coal companies in Russia.

It is noteworthy that there is actually only one photo of Yevgeny Punin online. Russians write that he was buried a few days ago, but they have no information about the cause and circumstances of his death.

"At the end of February, he celebrated his 90th birthday in Suzdal at the home of his son Michal, said a classmate of Yevgeny Mikhailovich's daughter. The funeral took place on March 10," the reports said.

According to RosSIA, Putin's family lived in Ivanovo on Sakko Street until about 2002, then moved to Moscow after Vladimir Putin came to power, and later settled in Suzdal.

The son of the dictator's "cousin" is the deputy chairman of Gazprom and a member of the company's board. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov himself said that he is a "distant relative" of Putin, with whom he does not communicate.

Yevgeny Putin's daughter Anna now bears the surname Tsyvilova, as she is married to the governor of the Kemerovo region, Sergei Tsyvilov. In 2018, she received 70% of Kolmar, one of Russia's largest coal mining companies, from her husband.

"At the end of February last year, Yevgeny Putin celebrated his 90th birthday. He is a leading Ivanovo urologist who helped his patients in the 1970s and 1990s," the propagandists write, without even publishing photos from his funeral.

As OBOZ.UA reported, the biography of the Russian dictator, as well as his family, is carefully hidden from the public, but Polish journalist and lawyer Krystyna Kurchab-Redlich described some of their background in her book. She described how Putin was raised by his sadistic father and why Stalin became his deity.
