The whole Valdimir Putin to marry gymnast Alina Kabayeva story caused a huge uproar in Moscow, which ultimately led to the Russian Duma passing new libel legislation 339-1 to restrict media commentary on political and public figures.

A Ruusian tabloid named Moscowsky Korrespondent claimed in its pages earlier this month that Mr Putin, 55, had divorced his wife Lyudmila in order to marry Alina Kabayeva, 24.

The Russian president, who steps down on May 7 to become prime minister, denied the allegation and launched a furious counterattack against the press. “I have always had a negative opinion of those who, with their snotty noses and their erotic fantasies, meddle in other people’s lives,” Putin said.

The Moscow Korrespondent was shut down on Wednesday after Moscow authorities banned its distribution. Still, word has leaked out that the 56-year old Putin had quietly divorced his wife Ludmilla, 50, two months ago, so he would be free to remarry the much-younger gymnast.

Valdimir Putin and the gold medal-winning rythmic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, 24, now a member of the Russian parliament, will be married June 15, according to European news reports.

The wedding will take place roughly a month after Putin steps down as Russian president, according to reports quoting a party planner in Putin’s home city, St Petersburg, who is organizing the couple’s lavish wedding reception.

The news followed reports last year that Putin and Kabaeva were seen kissing in a Moscow restaurant. Alina, who is 32 years younger than the Kremlin leader, also appeared in the Russian edition of Maxim magazine.

Alina Kabaeva got her seat in the Duma, or Russian parliament, after Putin ordered that more young, attractive women should be in politics. Miss Kabayeva, who won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic games and a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics, is widely regarded as one of Russia’s most beautiful women.

Shortly after Putin’s decree, Alina was nominated to represent a district near St. Petersburg and is now a Duma member for a pro-Kremlin party.

Libel is now subject to the same sanctions as other crimes such as the promotion of terrorism, extremism, and racial hatred. Just goes to show how powerful Vladimir Putin is in Russia. 

Hopefully, his new bride will put him in a better mood.
