Russian President Vladimir Putin, since he stepped on the political stage, has always been the image of a "tough guy" in front of people, the iron fist rule of Russia, and the toughness of Western countries, so he was also given the title of "Emperor" by the majority of netizens.
However, behind this "emperor" is a "daughter slave". Putin has two daughters in total, all of whom are children of Putin's ex-wife, Lyudmila.
For these two daughters, Putin has not worried less about them, and they are well protected, and for a long time, Russia's official media has not even published pictures of them.
Logically, if you can marry Putin's daughter, your life will be a smooth road in the future. Of course, generally speaking, if you marry them, no one dares to mess with the flowers and grass anymore, and the anger of the old father-in-law is not good.

In Russia, however, there is such a person who, after successfully marrying Putin's young daughter Katerina Gikhonova, is a socialite who has cheated on her in marriage.
What will happen to such a bold man?
Fiancé is "Chen Shimei"
As the saying goes, you can only see the scenery in front of others, but you can't see the bitter past behind it. In Russia's upper class, girls generally marry early, but Putin's two daughters, Maria and Katerina, are exceptions. The two were born in 1985 and 1986 and never fell in love until they were 18 years old.
Putin's two daughters
When Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi visited Russia with his family, his daughter Barbara asked Putin's eldest daughter Maria if she had a boyfriend, only to be told: "There have always been a large number of bodyguards behind me, and no boy dares to chase me." ”
Soon, his daughter's complaints reached Putin's ears, and he also began to worry about his daughter's lifelong affairs, so he asked the deputy director of the Federal Security Bureau to help his daughter "choose a son-in-law", when Putin only made two demands: "Russians, the life must be innocent." ”
After that, many outstanding Russian civil servants and outstanding graduates of military academies were given the opportunity to meet with Putin. After Putin's encouragement, they were arranged by the staff to visit the Kremlin.
At the gates of the Kremlin, there is a shop selling books and postcards, and this shop has two beautiful girls as salesmen. If anyone took the initiative to come forward and talk to the two of them, they would be photographed by a hidden camera.
A few months later, two economic ministry officials arrived at the bookstore and visibly showed interest in Katerina. Both were pure-race Russians and neither was married. The young man named Andre is more talkative, has an ordinary family, and has climbed to his current position by his own ability. Another young man named Vasha came from a rich family and was relatively taciturn.
Among the two people, Putin's favorite is Andrei, who feels that his experience is quite similar to his own, and he is also a St. Petersburg native, which can also be regarded as a fellow countryman.
Soon, Andrei was called to the Kremlin, where he learned the true identity of the bookstore girl, and Putin was ready to arrange for him and his second daughter to get engaged before Katerina went to college.
What Putin didn't expect, however, was that it didn't take long for the agent in charge of protecting Andrei to report him a bad news: "Andrei secretly returned to St. Petersburg and met with a lady." It was investigated that it was his secret lover, and there was a son between the two. Andrei went back this time because he wanted his lover to emigrate with his son. ”
After half a day of picking out a "Chen Shimei", Putin, who was a little embarrassed and angry, asked the Federal Security Service to clean up the mess. It didn't take long for Andrei to be sent to a small city, and the Russian media did not report on the young and promising officer.
Andre's exit allowed another man to see an opportunity. The man's name was not Vasha, but Kirill Shamarov.
Shamarov
A green plum bamboo horse with deep roots
Speaking of which, there is also a relationship between Shamarov and Putin's father and daughter, whose father is called Nikolai Shamarov and is a good friend of Putin.
The elder Shamalov was originally just a doctor, but later found that studying medicine could not save the Russians, and felt that he did not make any money, so he chose to abandon medicine and business, because he could speak German and applied for the representative of Siemens in St. Petersburg.
Coincidentally, it was Putin who was responsible for dealing with foreign companies in the St. Petersburg municipal government at that time. The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and in 1994, the elder Shamarov opened his own company. With the support of "friends", the business of the old Shamarov company has expanded rapidly, whether it is medical, shipbuilding, construction, finance, import and export trade.
In 1996, the elder Shamarov, Putin and six others teamed up to build an Ozera villa area near St. Petersburg, and six others later became important figures in Russian politics and business.
As Putin grew bigger and bigger, the business of the old Shamarov company became more and more prosperous, and in 2006 he even co-founded the Bank of Russia with two other people. Later, the bank became the second largest bank in Russia, and even Putin himself often called on everyone to deposit money in the bank.
Many people believe that the old Shamarov is actually Putin's white glove.
Kirill Shamarov is the younger son of the elder Shamarov, born in 1982, and he has an older brother named Yuri Shamarov, who is trusted by Putin as an executive at Gazprom and Gazprom.
Both father and brother are trusted by President Putin, and Shamarov naturally cannot be an ordinary person.
In 2002, Shamarov, who was also studying law at Putin's alma mater, Saint Petersburg State University, became Gazprom's chief legal adviser on foreign economic activities. Two years later, Shamarov graduated from university and was immediately appointed chief counsel of Gazprom.
In 2004, Shamarov was magically hired as vice president of corporate management by Russia's Sibul Oil Company, and then successfully obtained 4.3% of the company's shares through various means.
The Shamarov family and the Putin family have always maintained good relations, and Putin and the old Shamalov are naturally happy to see that the next generation of the two families can "kiss each other". And Shamarov herself has a crush on Katerina, who grew up, and naturally becomes her suitor.
The president's son-in-law is an oil tycoon
Katerina, unlike maria, her billionaire sister, who made a fortune in her voice, was once an acrobatic dancer and loved to dance. Shamarov was very supportive of her hobby and went to see her when she was fine. Gradually, Katerina was also gradually attracted to the young and golden Shamarov, and in 2012, the two officially became lovers under the watchful eyes of their parents.
In February 2013, Shamarov and Katerina held a lavish wedding near the Villa district of Ozella. At the beginning of the wedding, the couple arrived on a sleigh on three white horses, after which their names were laser-projected onto the snow.
Although it was the marriage of the president's daughter and the descendants of the Russian oligarch, the wedding could be said to be unusually low-key, forbidding anyone to take pictures and refusing to visit. All guests must be kept strictly confidential until the wedding ends. The reason for this has a lot to do with Putin's protection of his daughter. When Putin first became president, he dealt a very severe blow to the rebels in Chechnya.
Because of this, Putin has formed a bond with extremists, terrorist organizations, and criminal groups in Russia, and the Federal Security Service has repeatedly received information about "assassinating Putin" and "assassinating Putin's relatives", and there have even been extremists in Chechnya clamoring to seize Putin.
Because of this, Putin attaches great importance to his daughter's privacy and protects it very well, even after so many years, it is still the case.
Becoming Putin's son-in-law, Shamarov can be said to have directly "soared" and embarked on the fast lane of life. When others do business with him, even if they don't give old Shamarov face, they have to look at the face of Old Shamalov.
In 2014, Shamarov spent $2.2 billion to buy a 17 percent stake in Sibul Oil from Gennady Timchenko, plus his original 4 percent stake, and with 21 percent of his stake, Shamalov suddenly became the second largest shareholder of Sibul Oil, and at the age of 32, he became Russia's youngest billionaire.
Gennady Timchenko
So where did Shamarov's $2.2 billion come from? Of those, $1 billion was borrowed from Gazprom. The bank was willing to lend him so much money mainly because their banker was the man's brother. At the same time, Gennady Timchenko himself is one of Putin's close friends, and if he does not look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, even if Timchenko himself is not short of money, the share should still be transferred.
In this way, the Shamarov family produced an oil tycoon who was the son-in-law of the president.
The president's son-in-law cheated
According to common sense, by relying on the relationship of the old father-in-law to become a billionaire, Shamarov should also be content, and live with his wife in peace, and should not and dare not have any crooked thoughts. After all, his old father-in-law was no ordinary person. It was not long after he was elected president, he personally drove a fighter jet to the front line and walked around. In this case, I still want to cheat, which is no different from hanging the old birthday star.
However, Shamarov is so debauched and loves freedom, perhaps because his previous life was too smooth, so that Shamarov swelled, married the president of the thousands of dollars did not make him satisfied, and after a few years of marriage, he could not help but split his legs.
Shamarov's derailment object is called Ranna Volkova, although born in Russia, but usually mainly in London high society activities, is a typical "celebrity".
On Valentine's Day 2017, Someone saw Volkova dancing with a strange man. Since then, rumors have spread that the relationship between Volkova and Shamarov is not ordinary.
However, there are not many people who believe this rumor at the beginning, and who can believe that Putin's son-in-law will choose to cheat?
It didn't take long, however, for Volkova to post several photos of her kissing a man on social media. Although Workova specifically covered the man's face. But the majority of netizens still recognized this man at a glance according to the outline: "Oh, this is not Shamalov!" ”
Whatever Volkova's purpose in releasing the photographs, Shamarov was a little on fire. A year later, in early 2018, he and Katerina officially divorced.
Before Andrei because he became Chen Shimei once, he was sent to a remote town by Putin, and his career was ruined, and Shamarov had such a big fun, how would Putin deal with him?
Contrary to what many people think, Putin did not have his son-in-law arrested or confiscated his property because he cheated. After all, no matter what, you have to give your good friend Old Shamarov the face.
However, although Shamarov did not have to worry about his life or prison, the price he paid was not small. According to relevant media reports, just half a year before the divorce, Shamarov's property directly shrank by more than half, and in 2017, he also reduced his shares in Sibul Oil Company on a large scale, and finally he only had 3.9% of the shares left in his hand, directly from the company's second largest shareholder to a minority shareholder, and was also marginalized.
It is worth mentioning that the money from the sale of shares did not go into Shamarov's own account, and when he divorced in January 2018, he only had more than 800 million yuan left in his name, in addition to which he had to pay a large amount of interest on the loan.
Obviously, this is the price Shamarov paid for his own spending, the property was directly cut in half to his ex-wife, and Putin did not allow people who did not trust him to control the important energy source of oil. Still, Shamarov's father and eldest brother remain as trusted by Putin as ever.
Although the property was half lost, Shamarov did not seem to care about it, and specially uploaded photos of kissing Volkova on his private social networking pages, while Shamarov also wrote on it: "I love you"
In June 2018, Shamarov married Volkova in a high profile. However, his marriage cannot be called happy at all.
In July 2021, Shamalov took Volkova to court and asked for a divorce. According to Shamarov, Volkova married him for a non-simple purpose, but to embezzle his property.
However, the divorce lawsuit dragged on for a long time, mainly because Shamarov and Volkova signed an agreement before marriage, and if divorced, Shamalov would have to pay Volkova a high amount of compensation.
At the same time, some media broke the news that Shamarov wanted to divorce Volkova because he cheated on him again, this time to the model Alyona Gavrilova.
Shamarov's life has to be said to be very lucky, there is a father who is friends with the president, a brother who is willing to lend him $1 billion, a father-in-law who is the president, and a beautiful wife.
However, Shamarov himself did not cherish all this, and the fate of the final fate was really regrettable.
