Russian journalists who attempt to report on the private lives of Putin's family are, as Newsweek reported in 2014, "dealt with swiftly and summarily." Some have been forced to resign.
Even less has been reported about Putin's ex-wife, now known as Lyudmila Ocheretnaya, who was married to Putin for almost 30 years. They announced their divorce in June 2013.
In 2016, it was reported that Putin's ex-wife had remarried, to Artur Ocheretny, and officially changed her name. Ocheretny is the director of the nonprofit Center for the Development of Interpersonal Communications and almost 20 years Ocheretnaya's junior.
Still, she and the two daughters she had with Putin have remained out of the public eye. Below, see what we know about Ocheretnaya's life.
