Russian President Vladimir Putin’s daughters, Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova, have made public appearances, sparking rumors that the aging leader is preparing for his legacy. Former CIA agent Ronald Marks suggests that the sisters’ attendance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was intended to enhance their father’s image and showcase their capabilities. Putin has been secretive about his family, but his daughters have become increasingly visible in recent years. Vorontsova is a genetics researcher, and Tikhonova is a tech executive and former acrobatic dancer.
