This week, the secret daughter of Vladimir Putin has dominated headlines.

Last year, a Russian news site outed Elizaveta Krivonogikh, also known as Luiza Rozova, as the war leader’s illegitimate daughter.

After receiving online harassment, the 18-year-old from St Petersburg shut down her Instagram account this week.

Svetlana Krivonogikh, Luiza’s mother, was romantically related to Putin in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Svetlana began her career as a maid before rising to become one of the country’s wealthiest women.

The 45-year-old millionaire studied economics and finance at Saint Petersburg State University.

Svetlana owns property in Monaco through two Panamanian shell companies, which in turn own the third company in Tortola, Virgin Islands.

Luiza was born in March of 2003, and her mother has never said anything about her father.
