A SOCIALITE has made a bombshell claim that Vladimi Putin’s son-in-law has STOLEN her newborn baby and is hiding her in Russia.

London-based Zhanna Volkova, 44, claims Kirill Shamalov,40, has prevented her from seeing her daughter after whisking her off to Moscow.

Shamalov reportedly took the newborn, who was born via a surrogate in October, to Russia without Zhanna ever meeting her.

He married Putin’s youngest daughter Katerina Tikhonova, with their relationship breaking down in 2013, but continued to be close to the bloodthirsty president.

Ms Volkova and Shamalov, Russia’s “youngest billionaire”,married in 2018 and had been trying for a baby.

But after several rounds of IVF they hired a surrogate through a Moscow-based agency.

The couple’s relationship is understood to have broken down in the latter staged of the pregnancy, and Ms Volkova moved to London.

She claims that she was cut out of the surrogacy after the move, with the Moscow agency telling her they no longer had contact with the surrogate who was carrying her child.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Ms Volkova said: “I was stuck in London with Covid. As soon as I could, I flew to Moscow.

“I waited for him for three days. He told me he has a new girlfriend but he did not want a divorce. He wanted to hurt me.

“I heard he named her Anna, though we had agreed on Elizabeth after the Queen.

"Russian police don't want to know so I'm opening the case here in London.”

She claims that an associate of her now-estranged husband has warned her of the repercussions of she continues trying to see their child.

Ms Volkova says Shamalov's lawyers demanded she sign away her rights to see the baby girl, but she refused.

After the demands from the lawyers were issued she took the first flight out of Moscow for her own safety.

She has been told that Shamalov is in a relationship with fashion designer Anastasia Zadorina, the daughter of a top FSB general. 

Last week Ms Zadorina was reportedly in Dubai at Shamalov's 40th birthday party. 

Ms Volkova now lives in London with her twin sister and a teenage son from a previous marriage, and is divorcing Shamalov for £45million.
