Kneisl has been living in a rented house for several weeks.

The former head of the Austrian Foreign Ministry, Karin Kneissl, who danced with Russian President Vladimir Putin at her wedding , settled in the village of Petrushovo, Ryazan region. 

She has been living in a rented house for several weeks now.”I paid for another month, and then we’ll see. I don’t know anything about my future, nothing,” she complained to the Russian edition of Side View .

It is noted that in 2018 Kneisl got married and danced with Putin at her wedding. 

However, she soon divorced.

In 2020, Kneissl left Austria “due to constant death threats and a virtual ban on working in Austria.”

 She lived in Lebanon, and then came to Russia. Now the former top official is renting a house in the village of Petrushovo, which even the local authorities seem to have forgotten about.

“It must be said that this remote village attracts foreigners not for the first time, here they bought the village houses of a French woman, from one of whom Karin Kneissl rented housing.

There are no sights in Petrushovo, but this is a very nice, neat Russian village that you rarely see (though years, it became much worse with landscaping, the leadership of the Giblitsky settlement, which includes Petrushovo, practically forgot about its existence),” the article says.

From February 2021 to May 2022, Kneisl was also a member of the board of directors of the Russian company Rosneft .
