Russian propagandists get into scandal over Putin's mistress birthday.


Reaction of the 'Match TV' channel to Alina Kabaeva's birthday
The Russian propaganda resource 'Match TV' decided to close the commenting feature on posts congratulating former gymnast Alina Kabaeva on her birthday, who is often referred to as the mistress of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported by 'Hlavkom'.
The closure of comments pertains to posts congratulating Kabaeva on her birthday on 'Match TV' pages on Facebook and VKontakte. However, comments can still be left on other posts from the resource in social networks. Users believe this is linked to fear of negative feedback about Kabaeva and Putin.
It is worth noting that after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, several countries imposed personal sanctions against Alina Kabaeva due to her ties with the Russian president.
In a few months, various countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, Switzerland, the USA, Australia, and others, joined the list of countries that imposed sanctions against the gymnast. Her connections with the President of Russia make her the focus of global community attention.
