At a press conference with Silvio Berlusconi on Sardinia, Vladimir Putin officially denied a story that had circulated the world since Friday, April 16. Smiling and relaxed, Putin said “there is not a single word of truth" to the report carried by Moscow tabloid Moskovsky Korrespondent alleging that the former Russian President intended to marry a gym champion, model and MP, Alina Kabaeva, on June 15.
