Doctor 'who delivered Putin’s secret kids' dies after sharing 'their existence'
A doctor who reportedly delivered Vladimir Putin’s secret love-children died after her role in at least two of the births was revealed.
Soviet-born Swiss doctor Dr Natalia Thiebaud Kondratieva was named as heading the medical team at the birth of Vladimir Putin’s secret children with his 39-year-old gymnast lover Alina Kabaeva.
Dr Thiebaud died in Switzerland on 24 February, the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and four days before her role was this week made public.
The cause of death was not announced but it is known she had been in the care of cancer specialists.
A death notice indicated she was cremated the day after her death.

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 Russian people.

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.

“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.

Thiebaud had lived long term in Switzerland and 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.”
Eleven days before her death, Thiebaud took over as head of a company called JERINA MEDICAL SA on the resignation of Grandini.
