A company linked to Putin's ex-wife has made billions from microloans
CarMoney, a microfinance company linked to Lyudmila Ocheretnaya, the ex-wife of dictator Vladimir Putin, has reported approximately 1.6 billion rubles in net profit since the start of the full-scale war. This is evident from its financial statements.
Russian propaganda media are reporting on this.
In 2025 alone, the company earned 427 million rubles, which is over 100 million more than the previous year. The total volume of loans issued also increased—from 5.1 billion rubles in 2024 to 6.1 billion in 2025. Individuals remain the primary borrowers, and interest rates on loans reach up to 364% per annum, which often leads to debt problems and lawsuits.
As a reminder, Putin classified nearly half of his decrees in 2025.
According to British intelligence agency MI6, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin uses body doubles at public events to reduce the risk of an assassination attempt on his life.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin refrained from publicly reacting to U.S. actions in Venezuela, specifically the seizure of a tanker flying the Russian flag by U.S. military forces.
