Doctor who died revealed the existence of Putin's children
Soviet-born Swiss doctor Dr Natalia Thiebaud Kondratieva died on 24 February, according to a death notice published by her partner Giorgio Grandini. It did not mention the cause of death, however it is known that she had been under the care of cancer specialists. It indicated she was cremated the day after her death.
Four days after her death, on Tuesday 28 February, Dr Thiebaud was identified by Russian independent investigation outlet Proekt, or Project, as the obstetrician who had assisted Kabaeva with the birth of at least two of Putin’s children.
Last year, an unidentified medic revealed the existence of the two children in Swiss newspaper Sonntagszeitung. It is believed that person was Dr Thiebaud.

Two other doctors identified
On 9 May, 2019, Dr Thiebaud was photographed sitting in the stands on the Red Square at the Moscow Victory Day Parade with two other Swiss doctors who allegedly flew in to attend the birth of one of Kabaeva’s children at approximately that time.
The two other women were identified as neonatologist Petra Caterina Maria Donati-Genet and nurse Stella Ghizelu.
All of the medics come from Clinica Sant'Anna in Lugano, Switzerland, where Kabaeva apparently had an earlier child in 2015.
The Proekt 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.
It is believed that in addition to the two children revealed by Dr Thiebaud, Putin has at least one more child.
