In Paris, unknown vandals defaced the façade of the L Galerie art gallery (also known as part of the L Association), were, according to media reports, Vladimir Putin’s alleged illegitimate daughter, Elizaveta Krivonogikh (also known as Louise Rozova / Lisa Rudnova).
The incident occurred on the night of 27 January 2026 (according to French and Ukrainian sources). Unknown individuals covered the facade of the building, the gallery windows and the adjacent walls with orange paint. Among the inscriptions were direct anti-Putin slogans:
‘Putin is a murderer,’
‘Death to Putin,’
‘Putin is a terrorist’ and similar.
The L Galerie is located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris and is known for its exhibitions of contemporary art, including works by anti-war artists from Russia and Ukraine. It is here that 22-year-old Lisa Rudnova has been working since autumn 2024 — a young woman whom several independent investigations have identified as Putin’s daughter by Svetlana Krivonogikh (a shareholder in Bank Rossiya, included in the UK sanctions list). Neither the young woman herself nor the Kremlin have ever officially confirmed the relationship.
Dmitry Dolinsky, director of the L Association, previously confirmed that Rudnova was working there, but emphasised that ‘a son is not responsible for his father’ and that there is no evidence of a relationship with Putin.
The police have classified the incident as vandalism and damage to property. The damage has so far only been assessed visually — paint covered a significant part of the façade and requires serious cleaning. The gallery owners have stated that they will continue to operate as usual.
