Vladimir Putin was "swearing and yelling" over leaks showing the opulent "palace" he is believed to share with his gymnast lover and children with images broadcast around the world, it is reported.
The Russian leader and Alina Kabaeva are said to enjoy a secret life at the forest palace by Lake Valdayskoye which is halfway between Moscow and St Petersburg.
And Putin is blaming his defence and security chiefs for what he sees as a failure to protect him with the images of the mansion leaking out, reports Telegram channel General SVR.
