A foundation created by Putin's alleged daughter has received a warning from Russia's Justice Ministry for violating NGO laws

Russia’s Justice Ministry has issued a warning to the Foundation for Interdisciplinary Initiatives in the Field of Natural and Humanitarian Sciences, an organization created by Katerina Tikhonova, who is reportedly Vladimir Putin’s younger daughter.

Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Tikhonova as Putin's rumored older daughter. Meduza apologizes for the confusion.

Justice Ministry officials revealed the warning to Tikhonova’s group when the newspaper Sobesednik asked why her organization isn’t required to report its financial records to the government as an NGO. Tikhonova’s foundation has until September 18 to comply with Russian regulations on non-governmental organizations.

Sobesednik says it was unable to find any traces of the foundation at its officially registered address in Moscow.

For the past four years, “Innopraktika,” another foundation run by Tikhonova, has won state contracts worth almost a billion rubles. In just the past two years, Innopraktika has received 877 million rubles ($15 million) in government deals.
