Putin and wife say their marriage is over

Agencies | Updated: 2013-06-07 06:16

"DONE HER SHIFT"

Most Soviet and Russian first ladies have had low profiles, but Lyudmila Putin has been all but invisible in recent years and there has been speculation she had moved into a convent.

On Russian Orthodox Christmas in January this year and Easter in May, Putin attended televised midnight church services without Lyudmila.

The Putins spoke to Rossiya-24 TV after attending a ballet performance in the Kremlin, in what at first appeared to be a staged effort to show that they were still together.

After answering questions at length about the ballet, the Putins were asked about the rumours they lived apart.

"That is true. All my activity is linked to public affairs ... and there are people who are totally incompatible with that," Putin said. He added with a chuckle: "Lyudmila Alexandrovna has done her shift."    

Lyudmila said: "Vladimir Vladimirovich is completely submerged in his work. Our children have grown up, each of them is living her own life. ... And I truly don't like publicity.".

Putin added: "Lyudmila Alexandrovna and I will always remain close - forever, I am sure."

Neither clarified whether their marriage was legally dissolved, although Lyudmila said it was a "civilised divorce". Putin's spokesman said he did not know.

"They separated a long time ago," Dmitry Peskov said. "I don't know if the divorce has been formalised, but I can confirm that we are talking about a civilised divorce."

Putin has made questions about his family taboo, jealously guarding information about his daughters, and it is highly unlikely the reporter asked the question without prompting. The remarks were first aired after prime time, after 9:30 p.m.

While the couple were widely assumed to be estranged, the unexpected admission set off a wave of comment on the Internet, a prominent platform for criticism of Putin in a nations whose mainstream broadcast media is controlled by the state.

"It's time for the whole country to divorce him," a group called For Honest Elections, which has used social network sites to help organise protests against Putin, said on its Twitter microblog.

Soviet and Russian leaders have faced little scrutiny over their family lives, and divorce is a fact of life. In 2011, about 1.3 million Russian couples marries and nearly 670,000 divorced, according to government figures.

GOOD MOVE?

Anna, a 26-year-old Muscovite who gave only her first name, praised Putin for a "good move".

"When (former French president Nicolas) Sarkozy announced his divorce, I thought to myself, 'This would just be impossible in this country.' And now look what's happening."

However, she thought it would not play well in the provinces, where Putin's main support base lies.

"I fear his ratings will go down further," she said of Putin, whose approval rating fell to a 12-year low of 62 percent in January according to the independent Levada Center, but has since edged up.

Boris Nemtsov, a prominent opposition politician and a leader of a series of protests against Putin and the ruling party in the past 18 months, said he did not believe the timing was driven by political considerations.

"I don't know why they announced it now, you'd better ask them. I can only say that even though lying all the time is Putin's tradition, the fact that he found the courage to announce his divorce is an honest deed," Nemtsov said.

"They have not been living together for a long time, everyone knew it. It is pleasant when someone behaves like an honest person, even though he may be your political rival."
