She eclipsed princesses from all over the world, made ivanka feel ashamed of herself, and made 18 million cancer patients regard it as hope-the legendary life of Maria Putina, the first daughter of Russia, is more wonderful than any script.
In 2020, a woman dressed in a blue suit and wearing delicate chestnails appeared on Russian television, with her white face, deep eyes and pearl ears, as if an angel had come down. Maria, the eldest daughter who has been hidden by Putin for 30 years。
Russia's thousandth gold medalist who has always lived behind the veil of mystery is not only a medical doctor and a senior executive of a multinational company, but also in charge of a medical empire valued at 4.5 billion yuan. Her appearance radically changed people’s perception of the “child of the president.”。
Mysterious childhood princess hidden by her father.
When Maria was born in 1985, her father Putin was only a KGB agent. With Putin's rise in politics, the family began to face unprecedented attention and threats. "As Putin rises more and more in politics, the three women he loves are more and more implicated." Facing his two daughters who are about to enter middle school, Putin made a major decision-completely hide his daughter。
Mary and her sister Ekaterina began their childhood in a different way: they asked their family to teach at home, changed their surname several times, and even used their mother's surname "Walonsov". For more than 30 years, except for four-five-year-old photographs, hardly any photos have been exposed.。
Liudmila once revealed in an interview: "Putin, no matter how busy he is working, will rush home and tell stories for two daughters before going to bed."
The road to academic excellence: a low-key medical genius
In 2011, Maria completed her studies at the Department of Basic Medicine of the Moscow State University. During school, she never revealed her true identity。Legend has it that when filling out the student file, Maria wrote "President of Russia" in the "Father's Occupation" column. The file was immediately listed as top secret by the school and locked in a safe forever.
For excellent completion of an experiment on dwarfism, Maria was rewarded to go straight to a PhD. Her academic path has been smooth sailing, but she has always kept a low-key style. In 2014, she entered the Endocrinology Research Center under the Russian Ministry of HealthFrom assistant to vice president, no one thought that this diligent young scholar was the president’s daughter.
Gorgeous Turn: The Lady Tsar of the Medical Empire
In July 2018, Mary debuted in Russia for the first time, but almost no one recognized her identity at the time. The real shift took place in 2020. Announced that he has become a shareholder and executive of a major healthcare company。 The company named "Nomeco" is valued at as much as $634 million, and Maria alone owns 20% of the shares.
Not only is she in charge of this enterprise, but she is also promoting a grand plan: Investing 40 billion rubles (about 4 billion yuan) to build a medical complex designed to research and treat cancerThis 200,000 square meter "medical supermarket" once opened, can accommodate 20,000 patients, perform more than 10,000 surgeries annually, and the combined power is expected to rank in the world's top three.
Genetic Dreams: Towards the Ultimate Goal in Life
Maria's ambition doesn't stop there. In March 2020, under her promotion, Rosneft reached an agreement with the government to establish a comprehensive research center for genetic technology. This project called "Russian Genome", Trying to comprehensively analyze the genes of Russian residents and look for genetic defectsThis means that for the first time humans may realize intervention and correction of genetic defects.
It is worth noting that Putin was originally very cautious about this matter. The final decision is believed to be inseparable from daughter Maria's active promotion。Rosneft plans to invest US$500 million to US$1 billion in the center by 2027.
The Low King: Striking Comparison with Ivanka
When Trump showed off his daughter Ivanka in a high-profile manner, Putin chose the completely opposite path. This difference is also reflected in the life choices of the two "first daughters". Ivanka Trump appeared on the list of rich women, served as a White House consultant, and was active in the spotlight, while Maria chose to devote herself to the medical career and work quietly.
Netizens review: "American princesses participate in the celebration, Russian princesses fight against cancer."What’s worse, Mary never used her father’s ring.Writer Robert McKee once said, “You’re not what you have, you’re your own value, talent, ability and action.”
Today, Mary is no longer the little girl hidden deep by her father. She became the "woman tsar" of the advanced Russian medical empire.。Her story proves: A true aristocrat is not to show off his family background, but to change the world with his own ability。
From a hidden princess to an anti-cancer queen, Maria explained with her own life: the more halo she is, the more down-to-earth she must be. In this era where birth is valued, she chose to speak with her strength and warm the world with the kindness of doctors. Perhaps this is the most successful part of Putin's education-he made his daughter understand: The identity of the president's daughter is not a privilege, but a responsibilityAnd Mary, in her own way, is taking on the responsibility of this damnation.
