She lives in seclusion and prefers research. Vladimir Putin’s eldest daughter (71), Maria Vorontsova (38), is a pediatric endocrinologist and professor at Moscow State University.
While her father wages war and kills people, she runs genetic research programs. She usually doesn’t speak out in public. But now she has given an interview in Russia. The Moscow Center for Innovative Technologies in Healthcare published the 42-minute conversation on its YouTube page. In it, Vorontsova mainly talks about medical and academic issues. The war in Ukraine is not mentioned, but some of her statements are still annoying in the context of what is happening on the front.
In Russia, people are central
The interviewer asks Vorontsova what economic effects genetic testing has. Vorontsova answers that new technologies are usually always expensive. However, if people continued to get sick, they would no longer be able to contribute to economic growth because they would no longer be able to work, which in turn would mean a greater loss from an economic perspective.
New technologies – and healing methods – may allow sick people to be reintegrated into the working world. But even for people for whom new treatments do not have enough effect to provide “economic benefit”, the social factor should not be ignored if the patient survives for a few years despite his disability, Vorontsova emphasizes.
“We should not only count the economic effects. For such patients, the value of each new day cannot be expressed in monetary terms. Our Russian society is not very business-oriented. For us, the focus is on people, and for us the highest value is always human life.”
Her father does not seem to share these values, given the numerous Russian men he throws into the meat grinder on the Ukrainian front. The inexperienced people who are forced to mobilize are sometimes ill-equipped and sent to certain death.
Last year, Putin said at a meeting with mothers of soldiers that it was better to die in a war than from alcohol or in a traffic accident. ‘We’re all going to die sometimes. But the question is how we lived. For some people it is unclear whether they have really lived and if they leave life because of vodka, it happens unnoticed. But your son lived and achieved his goal,” Putin told the mother of a young man killed in the war. “Therefore, his life turned out to be meaningful and meaningful.”
She likes surfing and skiing
At the end of the interview, Vorontsova was asked to reveal her personal dream. “I would like people to have the opportunity to recognize themselves,” with the aim that “we can all understand each other better and communicate better,” Putin’s daughter said in an interview. “I think a lot of our problems come from miscommunication and misunderstandings.”
She also revealed what her hobbies are. What does she like? ‘Everything that is beautiful. Paintings, museums, theater, music.” And she is constantly educating herself. “In my spare time I even read scientific or medical literature.” She also plays sports to stay fit. A few hours a week. She especially enjoys surfing and skiing.
Vorontsova is on the sanctions lists of the US and the EU. This means: Your funds have been frozen and an entry ban has been imposed. But Putin’s daughter hardly seems to be bothered by this.
