Russian journalist Oleg Kashin thinks he has discovered a secret daughter of President Vladimir Putin's.
In a new article titled "She" (or «Она» in Russian), Kashin writes how he believes that two women who share the same name are actually the same person: Yekaterina Putin.
Kashin connects an acrobatic dancer by the name of Yekaterina Tihonova with a scientist and director of the company "Иннопрактика" by the same name who is leading the expansion of Moscow State University.
"The biographic details of the three Yekaterinas — Putin, Tihonova-dancer, Tihonova-scientist ... are all connected into one biography, and yes, it is one woman," Kashin writes.
The whereabouts of Tihonova the dancer are uncertain — Kashin reports she was born in 1986 — and the past of Tihonova the scientist is shady, Kashin writes.
Kashin makes the connection between dancer and scientist through the fact that Tihonova the scientist is the vice president of Acrobatic Rock 'N' Roll.
"I do not know who that is," the press spokesman for Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, said of Tihonova to Forbes Russia. "So far, a bunch of girls have come forth as Vladimir Putin's daughters."
Another fun fact: Tihonova the scientist was at Davos as a plus one of Kyrill Shamalov, of which Kashin writes "let's consider this, just another form of the conspiracy."
In any case, here are some photos and videos of the woman who might be Putin's secret daughter:
