This is the first time the public is seeing inside the lavish Kremlin residence of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, complete with chandeliers and a grand piano.
The extravagant dig is decked out with luxurious architectural features, gold-rimmed mirrors and an ironic nod to a former Russian Emperor.
The sudden revelation comes as a strange shock – as for years only his tight inner circle of cronies have been granted access to the swanky flat.
But his boujee living quarters which were previously shrouded in mystery have now been revealed in a bombshell video.
In the bizarre footage, blood-thirsty Putin is seen walking through his plush apartment with a reporter.
The two are heard talking outside the gold-adorned doors before the Russian dictator opens up his lavish living quarters to the world.
The previously unseen abode is adorned with luxurious items, including a white grand piano in the corner of the room—though Putin says he seldom plays it.
Vile Vlad also tells the reporter that the pad is nearby his office, making for a quick commute.
The opulent space features gilded walls, comfortable sofas, and unique chandeliers suspended from the lofty ceiling, starkly differing from the dire circumstances faced by his soldiers.
Ironically, a large portrait of Russian Emperor Alexander III is sat on a desk when the two open the doors on the left side.
Dubbed “The Peacemaker” the Russian Tsar fought no major wars during his reign – a far cry from Putin’s rule.
In further footage – which are extracts form a longer interview with Putin set to release on May 4 – the Russian despot shows the so-called journalist a library, two bedrooms and a small “home church”.
In March 2023, the Russian president said in an interview that he hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for informal parts of negotiations in the very same room.
He claimed that they “had a working lunch” before inviting the “chairman, as a friend” to move to the room.
The Russian dictator said during the interview that he spends “a lot of time” there, often working late nights, and so decided to move there.
The revelation of Putin’s deluxe apartment marks a harsh contrast to the brutal living conditions of those fighting in the war in Ukraine.
Sick Vlad’s bloody meatgrinder has already cost 250,000 Russian soldiers’ lives since his invasion in February 2022, according to the Ministry of Defence.
The MoD said that Russia has about 900,000 casualties in total so far, and that Putin was “likely to prioritise their military objectives over the lives of Russian soldiers”.
The extraordinary revelation comes after leaked footage in 2024 which showed that the Russian tyrant owned a £1billion clifftop Black Sea palace.
An investigation also showed that the leader’s extravagant palace had undergone an expensive revamp to get rid of its sordid strip club.
The Kremlin denied the pleasure palace belongs to Mad Vlad, but an investigation by French newspaper Le Monde showed that the tyrant’s bodyguards were frequently in the vicinity.
Russian independent media outlets and now-dead opposition leader Alexei Navalny had triggered a scandal by revealing the existence of the Gelendzhik pad.
And in May last year, a mystery fire gutted part of Putin’s mountain palace said to be home to a sprawling nuclear bunker for his secret family.
The inferno ripped through a building at the Altai Mountain bolthole – where Putin once entertained former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi.
The new footage of Putin’s plush apartment comes as his bloody war in Ukraine rages on.
Just recently, he was accused of recruiting Ukrainian children and brainwashing them into becoming suicide bombers.
The desperate Russian despot has been offering teenagers and vulnerable civilians cash in exchange for their lives, according to Ukrainian security services.
It also comes as the US and Ukraine finally signed the historic minerals deal in a heavy blow to furious Putin.
The long-awaited agreement blames Putin for the three-year-long war, spares Ukraine from payback and will even allow Kyiv to join the EU.
The US and Ukraine signed the minerals deal two months after it was derailed by Trump and Zelensky’s Oval Office bust-up.
