Petition calls for Vladimir Putin's 'Eva Braun' Alina Kabaeva to 'return to her Führer'

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition to demand the deportation of Vladimir Putin’s rumoured lover, the former gymnast Alina Kabaeva, from Switzerland.

The petition describes Kabaeva as the “wife of a delusional dictator”, and says that “Eva Braun returned to her Führer ”. Over 56,000 people have signed it so far.

Kabaeva, 38, drew the attention of Swiss and international press in 2015, when she reportedly gave birth to a girl in the Italian-speaking city of Lugano, in the Swiss canton of Ticino. Putin was widely believed to be the child’s father.

One of Russia’s most decorated gymnasts, having won an Olympic gold medal at the 2004 summer games in Athens, she has been romantically linked to Putin since 2008.
