A Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets reported that Alina Kabaeva was the reason why the entire VIP floor of the Kulakov Research Centre for Gynecology, Obstetrics and Perinatology was cleared this month. However, the brief story about the births was eventually taken down. The Daily Mail quoted an investigative journalist, a source familiar with the Russian intelligence, who also claimed that Kabaeva had allegedly given birth to two boys. He further said that a doctor from Italy helped with the C-section delivery.
