Putin's girls: Who are the daughters of the Russian president

Born as Yekaterina Vladimirovna Putina on August 31, 1986, Tikhonova grew up in East Germany, before moving to Saint Petersburg in 1991. However, Putin feared for the safety of his daughters during the gang wars era in Russia and sent them back to Germany. Katerina also dropped Putin as her surname out of security concerns and adopted the name of her maternal grandmother Yekaterina Tikhonovna Shkrebneva.
