They are related to the paternal grandfather's middle name.

The two sons of Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and gymnast Alina Kabaeva have been given cover surnames and documented as Ivan and Vladimir Spiridonov, journalists Roman Badanin and Mikhail Rubin wrote in the book "The Tsar in His Own Right," according to "Agency".

The cover name is apparently related to the patronymic of his paternal grandfather, Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin.

The Russian dictator's daughters from his first marriage - Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova - also live under fictitious surnames. Tikhonova's surname most likely derives from the patronymic of Ekaterina Shkrebneva, her maternal grandmother.
