Putin’s Relatives Secure State Positions, Report Claims
Investigative journalists have alleged that at least 24 relatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin have been appointed to state-linked positions, raising concerns about nepotism and the concentration of power within the Kremlin. These appointments reportedly span across multiple generations of Putin’s family, with the third generation—his grandnephews—joining the government following the second generation, which includes his children and nephews.
The report by Proyekt highlights the systematic integration of the president’s family into the state apparatus, sparking debates over political influence and potential corruption. While the Kremlin has not publicly commented on these allegations, the implications for Russia’s governance and transparency remain a subject of significant scrutiny.
Such claims continue to fuel discussions about the extent of political dynastic power in Russia, with critics arguing that these appointments may undermine democratic principles and accountability.
