Vladimir Putin’s lover has been sent to Siberia - more than 2,000 miles from the luxury palaces she shared with the Russian dictator.
Alina Kabaeva, the dictator’s 39-year-old long-time mistress has traditionally preferred to hide away in Switzerland where she gave birth to one of his children in 2015, say reports.
But sanctions over Putin’s have limited her travel to the West - and instead she flew under high security to Omsk in Siberia as special guest at a gymnastics event.
