Bizarre performance by woman linked to Russian ruler leaked

Ksenia Sobchak, a woman with close ties to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has put on a shocking X-rated display at her own nuptials.

Ksenia Sobchak has been widely considered to be the secret goddaughter of Vladimir Putin ever since the Russian leader attended her christening decades ago.

Now the 37-year-old has just tied the knot with TV producer Konstantin Bogomolov, 44, — but she stunned guests with a surprising X-rated performance during the lavish ceremony over the weekend.

Leaked footage from inside the ceremony shows the television presenter and former Playboy model, who lives in Saint Petersberg, initially donning long black robes as she performs to the song Come into Me by Russian star Irina Allegrova.

However, two male dancers then remove the cloak to reveal the new bride’s black underwear, red garter and long black boots.

Part of her act involved crawling along the stage alongside scantily clad fellow dancers before laying on her back and spreading her legs.

According to UK tabloid The Mirror, her husband’s parents — Yuriy Bogomolov and Olga Ulyanova — then abruptly left the reception before the wedding cake was cut.

The wedding took place on Friday, September 13 and began with the signing of official documents at a registry office before the pair said their vows at the Great Ascension Church at Nikitsky gate in Moscow.

The reception was held at the historic Museum of Moscow, and the happy couple arrived at the venue in a horse-drawn carriage.

When Mr Putin attended Ms Sobchak’s christening 37 years ago, it immediately sparked persistent rumours he was her godfather, although those rumours have never been confirmed.

However, her family have always had close ties to the leader.

Her father, Anatoly Sobchak, was believed to have been Mr Putin’s law professor, and he later gave his former student his first political job after Mr Sobchak was elected mayor of Saint Petersburg.

Of course, Mr Putin’s personal relationships have long been shrouded in mystery.

Earlier this year, Maria Vorontsova — a woman dubbed his “secret daughter” — made global headlines after giving her first media interview, revealing her plans to cure cancer.

The Russian President has two adult daughters from his first marriage to former flight attendant Lyudmila Shkrebneva that ended in 2013.

The eldest, Maria, is believed to have been born in Leningrad (now called St Petersburg) in 1985, with sister Katerina arriving the following year while the family was living in Germany.

However, Mr Putin has never mentioned their names publicly, and rarely comments on his family life at all, despite persistent rumours he may have fathered a third daughter.

But while Katerina has given media interviews in the past, Maria’s life has long been kept under wraps.

However, the blonde 33-year-old medical researcher dropped some new clues about herself during a recent interview with state-owned TV channel Russia 1.

During the interview it was revealed she is a co-owner and top executive at Nomeko, a new, $A894 million medical firm focused on cancer research.
