Vladimir Putin could give his daughter a top job at the Kremlin as he battles ill-health amid reports of unrest at his leadership among Russia's elite. It has been claimed that the Russian President wants to make Katerina Tikhonova, 35, the new leader of ruling political party United Russia.
Tikhonova recently underwent expensive beauty treatments in Munich and is Putin’s second daughter by former first lady Lyudmila, his ex-wife, the Mirror reports. And it's claimed the candidacy is supported by those closest to Putin.
The claim was made on Telegram channel General SVR, which says it has alleged intelligence sources within Putin’s entourage. The same channel has claimed Putin is suffering from serious illnesses including cancer, Parkinson’s disease and a schizoaffective disorder.
