The girl was born to Alina Kabaeva's younger sister.
Leysan Kabaeva, the younger sister of Vladimir Putin's mistress Alina Kabaeva, has given birth to a daughter named Melania. The girl was born on May 1, 2025, and Karp Bagyan, who was 28 years old at the time and a native of Kislovodsk, is listed as her father. This is evidenced by registry office (ZAGS) data leaks reviewed by Agentstvo.
The girl was born in Moscow at the Kulakov National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology. Alina Kabaeva herself gave birth at the same center in May 2019—presumably to the president's younger son, Vladimir.
Just two days after the birth, Melania was registered at the registry office at the Konkovo district multifunctional center (MFC). On the same day, Karp Bagyan established paternity—a procedure required when the parents are not married. In such cases, the father is not automatically entered onto the birth certificate; instead, the parents must submit a joint application to the registry office. Following its submission, the girl was registered under the father's surname—Melania Karpovna Bagyan. There is no information about a marriage between Kabaeva and Bagyan in the leaks.
Agentstvo found information about the birth of Leysan Kabaeva's daughter in two leak aggregators. In addition to registry office records, the girl appears in a leaked patient database from a Moscow medical institution—with the same birth certificate number and registered address at her mother's apartment.
Karp Bagyan was born in November 1996 in Kislovodsk, where he is also registered. He is ten years younger than Leysan Kabaeva.
He graduated from high school in Moscow, earned a bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations from the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics in 2019, and in 2022 received a master's degree in management from the Pyatigorsk branch of the same university.
Leaked airline databases show that between November 2022 and June 2023, Leysan Kabaeva flew to Mineralnye Vody—the closest airport to Kislovodsk—at least ten times, staying anywhere from a few days to three weeks. During those same months, Bagyan regularly flew the same route.
Leysan Kabaeva is 40 years old; she was born in Tashkent. She manages the real estate agency Rezerv-M.
Since April 2026, she has also headed the St. Petersburg-based JSC Nova. The company leases non-residential real estate, and its assets totaled 226 million rubles at the end of 2025. The owners of the company are unknown, but prior to Leysan, the general director of Nova was Ekaterina Golovacheva, a cousin of the Kabaev sisters.
In 2017–2018, Leysan flew with her sister to the Maldives on business jets, according to findings by Proekt after examining leaked FSB border service data. In 2019, the younger sister of the president's partner traveled by private jet to Croatia together with her mother and Svetlana Polyakova, the mistress of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Coincidentally, a few months after the birth of Melania Bagyan, Tina Kandelaki, general director of the TNT television network, brought up the name. She recalled that in 2000 she decided to name her own daughter Melania, allegedly doing so in honor of the future First Lady of the United States, Melania (then Knauss, now Trump).
Shortly before giving birth, according to the TV presenter, she watched a beauty pageant in which Melania participated. Impressed by her beauty, Kandelaki chose the name for her child.
