Durov restricts access to public information about Putin’s son, turning Telegram into a tool for personal gain

By deleting the VChK-OGPU channel and http://Rucriminal.info (even its reposts in private correspondence), Pavel Durov (Censor) deprived VChK-OGPU readers of a unique opportunity to see a video of the last public appearance of Ivan Putin, the son of Vladimir Putin and Alina Kabaeva.

He was performing in a major "Lezginka" routine at a festival organized by his mother. Ivan is part of a team of boys’ gymnasts, performing a separate routine within a group performance, and the cameraman’s attention is focused on his team. He is third from last. We were unable to find any footage of Ivan after 2023; he has not participated in public events since then. From the numerous photos (collected for readers in the second video) of the sports team Ivan competes for, one can see that one of its members is a rather unusual boy.

During performances, training sessions, and other events held indoors, the team consists of eight people. Alina Kabaeva is often seen in photos of the "eight," behind one of the boys. However, when the team flies, stays in regular hotels, goes to the zoo, the beach, a water park, or just goesofing off, its membership dwindles to seven.

The disappearing boy is Ivan Putin. And Alina Kabaeva isn’t present when the "seven" are in photos either. Incidentally, for some reason, Ivan has a very sad face in almost all the photos. VChK-OGPU and http://Rucriminal.info will report tomorrow on how Durov "dances the Lezginka"—he added Ramzan Kadyrov’s man to the Telegram system in exchange for personal monetization.
