Former Olympic gold medallist and longtime Putin paramour Alina Kabaeva, 38, and their kids are reportedly hiding in a luxury Swiss redoubt.
Media reports suggested that Kabaeva was sent to the Swiss chalet earlier this month as the invasion of Ukraine came off the rails.
The change.org petition reads: “It’s time you reunite Eva Braun with her Führer. Despite the current war, Switzerland continues to host an accomplice of Putin’s regime.”
So far, there have been no sanctions against Kabaeva, who is chair of the board of directors at National Media Group — a Kremlin-connected media giant — with a salary of about $15 million yearly.
Putin and his mistress have seldom been seen together but membership has its privileges: The oligarchs have buried her family in gifts, cash and other goodies.

The petition continues: “We, the citizens of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, which is currently undergoing immense suffering, are uniting to appeal to the Swiss authorities. The public has just learned that the Russian political and media figure, and former (rhythmic gymnast), Alina Kabaeva, is hiding from the consequences of the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation in YOUR country.
“She is the favourite wife of (the) delusional dictator and war criminal who has been treacherously attacking Ukraine over the past weeks. As she is supportive of social activities in Russia, she has been attempting to get Russian citizens accustomed to the reality of sanctions after 2014, and personally proclaimed: ”The worse it gets, the better for us!”
It also accuses Switzerland of violating its vaunted neutrality.
“And now you are allowing his favourite mistress and her children to hide within the borders of your state,” it reads.
However, other media reports suggest Kabaeva is hunkered down with their kids at an underground bunker in Siberia.
Many Russians saw her as the reason for the breakup of Putin’s marriage to ex-first lady Lyudmila, 63, mother of his two adult daughters.
