Russian doctor ‘who delivered Putin’s love-children with gymnast mistress’ dies after revealing ‘existence of two sons’

A DOCTOR who allegedly oversaw the birth of Vladimir Putin’s two love children with his gymnast lover has died after revealing the kids’ existence. Dr Natalia Thiebaud Kondratieva, 63, died in Switzerland on February 24, the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of  Ukraine. Natalia Thiebaud Kondratieva, 63, has died The cause of death was not announced – and she was cremated the day after her death. It is understood she had been under the care of cancer specialists. On Tuesday she was named by Proekt independent media  as the obstetrician who had been with Kabaeva for the birth of at least two Putin children. The Kremlin leader has not revealed the existence of any children with Kabaeva  to the Russian people.  A picture on Red Square on 9 May 2019 shows Thiebaud with two other Swiss medics who flew to assist at the birth of one Kabaeva child around this time.  The two other women were named as neonatologist Petra Caterina Maria Donati-Genet and nurse Stella Ghizelu. All are from Clinica Sant’Anna in Lugano where Kabaeva was reported to have earlier had another child, in 2015. The Proekt – or Project – report said: “How did Swiss doctors, who came to Moscow for several days, end up in the VIP-stand closed to all outsiders? “The answer to this question is quite simple. “These Swiss women had important and secret merits before the Russian leadership.  “They were Kabaeva’s personal midwives and doctors who assisted in the birth of her children.  “It was Thiebaud and other staff at Clinica Sant’Anna who helped Kabaeva give birth in Lugano in 2015.” There are also rumours that Putin and Kabaeva have at least one more child.  While it was reported before that Kabaeva had been in the care of  Clinica Sant’Anna staff, the obstetrician had not been named. It is unclear if she knew she would be named before her death.  A death notice published by her partner Giorgio Grandini did not state her role in the birth of Putin’s children.  One of the medics who was thanked in the death notice was Paola Rodoni Cassis, wife of the Swiss foreign minister. He was until recently president of the Swiss confederation.  Thiebaud  had lived long term in Switzerland.  On social media in 2020 she posted a message which appeared to allude to her knowing  Putin. “He is one and only Papa for all of Mother Russia!!!!,” she wrote. “Thank you for not forgetting me.”
