June 6, 2013, Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin, having jointly given an interview during the intermission of the premiere of the ballet “Esmeralda” in the Kremlin, publicly announced that their marriage was actually completed by mutual decision[ 3][4]. The wedding, as Putin noted a little later, did not take place, therefore, according to him, the religious side of divorce does not exist[24].
On April 1, 2014, the press secretary of the head of state, Dmitry Peskov, confirmed that the divorce had taken place[25].
Marriage with Arthur Ocheretny[ | ]
In January 2020, a number of media reported about the new marriage of the former first lady of Russia - according to these data, she married the 37-year-old head of the Center for the Development of Interpersonal Communications and the publishing house “Literary Studies” Artur Sergeevich Ocheretny (born March 29, 1978)[26 ][27] and in documents on ownership of the former St. Petersburg apartment is already referred to as Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Ocheretnaya[28][29]. They themselves refrain from commenting on this matter; Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, answering a question from journalists, also refused to comment[8].
On March 28, 2020, Lyudmila and Arthur Ocheretny were spotted together at London Heathrow Airport[30].
How Lyudmila Shkrebneva and Vladimir Putin met
The meeting of Vladimir and Lyudmila took place in 1981. Shekrebneva met the future president of Russia at a speech by Arkady Isaakovich Raikin. Later, in a conversation with a journalist, she admitted that she did not have love at first sight for the short two-time sambo champion (in Leningrad).
The relationship with the young man developed gradually without dizzying romance. It is interesting that the girl did not immediately find out that her chosen one was a KGB officer, but only 2 years after meeting him.
First Lady of the Russian Federation[ | ]

By Lyudmila Putina’s own admission, the world collapsed for her when her husband announced that he wanted to become president of Russia. She cried all day, taking this news “as a message about a disaster.” In the end, she realized that “her family life was turned upside down, that it would never be the same as it was before.”[31]
After Vladimir Putin came to power, Lyudmila remained in the shadows of the Russian political scene, trying to avoid unnecessary attention (except in cases provided for by protocol), and also limited her public role to rare statements in support of her husband[32][33].
According to her, playing the role of the country's first lady and meeting all expectations is sometimes very difficult. “Being the first lady, you are, first of all, the female face of Russia. By the way you look, how you dress, how you speak, how you greet guests, they will judge your state, its customs and morals. In such a situation it is difficult to remain yourself. But this is the most important thing. Each person must bear his own cross, and it is given to him according to his strength. Although many people think that it is their cross that is the heaviest.”[31][34]. On trips abroad, she was attracted by the opportunity to learn something new; in addition, she saw herself as a “propagandist of everything that concerns Russia.” “When heads of state talk, we learn something from each other, we get to know each other from the human side,” she said.
Lyudmila Putina also considered her gain as the president’s wife to be the opportunity to actively work in the social sphere, the fact that her opinion is listened to. So, she took care of juvenile criminals[31].

After 2008, she began to rarely appear in public[35], which gave rise to rumors that the country's first lady became a nun[36] or divorced her husband[37]. Both of these versions were officially denied. Putin still wore his wedding ring[38].

On March 4, 2012, together with her husband, she voted in the presidential elections of the Russian Federation at polling station No. 2079 in the Russian Academy of Sciences, presenting an absentee ballot, unlike her husband, who voted with a passport with two ballot papers for both the presidential elections and the elections to the municipal assembly of the city municipal formation Gagarinskoye in the south-west of Moscow[39].
On March 26, 2013, she appeared at a public event for the first time in a year, taking part in the awarding of the Gorky Literary Prize Laureates for 2012, held in Moscow[40][41].
Photo of Lyudmila Putina in her youth
Everyone knows what Lyudmila Putina looks like today, but many are interested in what the former first lady was like before. In her youth, the girl impressed those around her with her beauty; many around her could not even believe that this beauty was real. White hair contrasted strongly with dark eyelashes and eyebrows.
According to Putina, comments about makeup that she did not actually wear were made to her regularly. Some even tried to wash off the “paint” from her face, but, as you might guess, all such attempts were in vain. You can enjoy the beauty of young Lyudmila by studying her photographs, which are freely available on the Internet.

What was the wedding of Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin like?
Putin knelt before Shkrebneva when the girl was 25 and he was 30. The declaration of love that preceded the proposal was, according to Lyudmila, dry. Vladimir began his speech in such a way that his chosen one was even afraid that he had decided to leave her. Whatever it was, he managed to explain himself. The future first lady agreed to the invitation to go to the registry office in the summer.
The wedding celebration lasted 2 days. The bride and groom did not take money from their parents to organize it, deciding to rely solely on their own strength. On the first day of the party, Lyudmila and Vladimir met with family and friends, whom they invited to the “Poplavok” restaurant, which was located on the river tram. The next day, the Putins set a table for the groom’s KGB colleagues. The banquet was held in the restaurant of the Moscow Hotel.
In Lyudmila’s memory of those days there are no cries of the guests “Bitter”, but the woman remembers very well that then her soul was warm and joyful. It is interesting that in the future the couple did not celebrate their wedding anniversary, which once again speaks of them as an unromantic couple.
The Putins did not have any photos from the honeymoon they spent in Kyiv. Lyudmila took many photographs, but ultimately did not develop the film, ultimately throwing it away.

What was the romance between Lyudmila Shkrebneva and Vladimir Putin
The romantic relationship between Lyudmila and Vladimir began differently from other young people. Putin did not hesitate to test his passion’s strength by being late for dates, forcing the girl to wait for him. She always waited for Cavalier Shkrebnev, although it took an hour or two. During this time, the future first lady managed to get angry, cry, and calm down.
The romance between Vladimir and Lyudmila continued, despite the fact that Putin’s chosen one did not impress his parents. This offended the girl, but did not prevent her from behaving well and being friendly and courteous with her loved one’s family.
However, one day the relationship of the young people was under threat. The closed and reserved Vladimir was not happy that at one of the parties his girlfriend was too cheerful, laughed a lot, joked and danced. Putin decided to end the relationship with her, but two weeks later he changed his mind and returned his chosen one, who by that time had already returned to her native Kaliningrad.
In general, Lyudmila and Vladimir dated for more than 3 years. All this time, the girl waited patiently for her boyfriend to propose marriage to her. She didn’t want to rush things, push the guy on, and in general she didn’t really want to get married, although she understood that one day she and Volodya would walk down the aisle.
President's wife
When Vladimir Putin took over as head of state in 2000, Lyudmila was not delighted. Moreover, according to the woman’s recollections, she was “in tears” all day and did not know what to do next. Lyudmila assumed that everything was supposed to happen this way, but inside she had a feeling of irretrievably lost happiness, that “nothing in family life would be the same.”
As a result, the woman had to come to terms with her husband’s ambitions. Lyudmila tried not to appear in public again, not to attract attention to herself, except in cases where it was necessary to act according to the regulations. She only occasionally appeared in front of people, making statements in support of her husband.
In one of the rare interviews, a woman said that the wife of the head of state is the face of the country, and based on her manners, outfits, and conversations, judgments will be made about the customs and morals of the state. Lyudmila also said that in such a situation the first lady cannot be herself and must “carry her cross,” even if it seems very heavy.
But there were also positive aspects to the fact that Lyudmila Putina officially became the first lady of Russia. She had the opportunity to actively engage in social activities, which were primarily aimed at establishing charitable organizations and supporting various cultural and educational projects. Lyudmila created the Russian Language Development Center, which is still functioning today. It deals with issues of spelling and education in general.
The woman also took an active part in social issues. She understood that her position had advantages: many people listened to her. So, Lyudmila could even take custody of juvenile delinquents.
Lyudmila Putina received the prestigious Jacob Grimm Prize in 2002 for her significant contribution to cultural exchange between Germany and the Russian Federation. The woman also received international awards several times for supporting the Russian language on a global scale. Lyudmila received delegations of states from the West and visited various countries on issues of presenting State Prizes of the Russian Federation to compatriots.
While traveling abroad, the woman constantly learned something new about different countries. Of course, the first lady was forced to be a propagandist of everything related to the Motherland. However, even at meetings with the heads of countries, Lyudmila listened carefully and constantly tried to find similarities and differences between peoples.
Being in the status of the first lady of the country, Lyudmila received many awards. Among them:
- Honorary citizen of Kaliningrad.
- Jacob Grimm Prize.
- Medal "Golden Warrior" and the title of honorary professor of the Eurasian University.
- Medal of A. S. Pushkin.
- Order of the Olive Branch of the Slavic State University.
