A Paris art gallery linked to a woman identified in investigations as the unrecognized daughter of Vladimir Putin was vandalized overnight, with messages scrawled on its facade and surrounding buildings.
Galerie L, located in Paris, was targeted during the night of Monday, January 26 to Tuesday, January 27. The gallery exhibits works by Elizaveta Krivonogikh, who has been presented in several journalistic investigations as Vladimir Putin’s hidden daughter.
Tuesday morning, hostile tags directed at the Russian president were discovered on the gallery’s facade, as well as on walls and buildings nearby. Orange spray-painted inscriptions explicitly targeted both the Russian head of state and Russia, reading “Fuck Putin and all Russians”, “Death to Putin”, and “Putin assassin”.

The 22-year-old has worked at the gallery for several months.
Additional inscriptions included “Justice for El Hacen”, referencing El Hacen Diarra, a 35-year-old man who died in police custody at a Paris police station in the 20th arrondissement on the night of January 15-16.

According to an investigation by Radio France, the 22-year-old, also known as Luiza Rozova, has been working at the Parisian gallery for several months. The gallery exhibits works by both Russian and Ukrainian artists who oppose the war. The gallery’s founder confirmed she was recruited on a work-study basis in October, primarily for technical tasks related to exhibition preparation and catalog production. The young woman has not publicly confirmed or denied her alleged connection to Vladimir Putin, a link the Kremlin consistently disputes.
