Vladimir Putin’s ‘secret daughter’ mysteriously vanishes from social media 'into bunker'

Vladimir Putin’s "secret daughter" has suddenly closed her social media after a wave of extreme trolling over Russia ’s war in Ukraine.

Luiza Rozova, 18, a student in St Petersburg, has deleted her account on Instagram.

Since the war started she had been deluged with hostile posts, with one saying: “Are U sitting in the bunker?? Like a rat?”

Luiza is the daughter of cleaner-turned-multimillionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45, now a part-owner of a major Russian bank, one of the country's wealthiest women.

Svetlana - who owns a £3.1million plush property in Monaco - has not commented on claims that her daughter was fathered by the Kremlin strongman, and nor has Luiza, also known as Elizaveta, although she told Russian GQ that she “probably” looks “similar” to a young Putin.

The suspicion that she was Putin’s secret daughter from an extra-marital affair was first aired by an independent media outlet in Russia which was later barred from functioning by the authorities.

Luiza - who had 84,000 subscribers - stopped publicly posting five months ago, triggering the suspicion that Putin had stopped her, but her account remained open.

Now a message says in Russian: “User not found.”

One post on the 18-year-old’s Instagram alleged she was the “daughter of a murderer, war criminal, psychopath and drug addict”

Many posts included the Ukrainian blue-and-yellow flag and one carried the message: “The Russian nation must rise against this dictator.

"You don't want to have anything to do with him.”

But commenters also staunchly defended her, with one saying: “Don't judge her...is not her fault.”

Another wrote: “She cannot do anything for having a crazy father”.

One more said: “Come on guys, she is just a person. She is not guilty.”

But a commenter called Martina hit back: “Yes, she is guilty of passive complicity. It is the same as most of the Germans in the Nazi period.”

Another posted: “Call him - if he loves you ... maybe you can convince him not to kill.”

One complained: "Stop writing [that] she's an innocent. She is the daughter of that devil!

“She could at least show that she does not agree with what her father is doing, somehow influence him.

“Putin doesn't give a s*** for ordinary people, but maybe his daughters still mean something to him.

“She stays quiet because she knows if she says one bad word to Daddy, she will be cut off from big money, apartments and expensive things.

“Unfortunately, there are important things - and more important things.

“Apparently, purses and villas are more important to her than human life.”

Putin has two daughters by his ex-wife Lyudmila, the former Kremlin first lady.

Likewise, neither of them - Dr Maria Vorontsova, 36, a geneticist, and Katerina Tikhonova, 35, a high-kicking ‘rock’n’roll’ dancer-turned-mathematician, have commented on the war.

There are reports that Putin has hidden some family members in a chalet in neutral Switzerland - while another version is that they are in a five-star hi-tech nuclear bunker in Siberia.

There is speculation he has up to four children with Olympic Gold-medal winning rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, now high-earning a media mogul in Moscow who is rarely seen in public.

This would make the Kremlin strongman a father-of-seven.

Luiza has had a higher online public profile and was hit by a backlash over Ukraine.

One comment said: “How are you in the bunker?”

A troll suspecting she may be in her mother’s Mediterranean bolthole said: “While you’re fluffing around in Monaco, people of your generation are dying in Ukraine because of your father.

“Your destiny will be that of Marija Milosevic when your dad gets sent to The Hague.

“SHOW YOUR FACE YOU COWARD!”

She was told: “Young Russian soldiers are being sent to Ukraine without any knowledge about where they are, who they fight and what they do.

“The Russian economy is collapsing, reaching absolute zero.

“Soon, if not already, you won't be able to use Netflix, Spotify, social media apps, pay with Google and Apple Pay, all popular brands and boycotting and exiting Russia.”

Luiza was also told: “Many Ukrainians have forgotten about what sleep is, and even more so in bed.

“After all, falling asleep, many of us run the risk of not waking up.

“People spend the night in basements like rats because bombs are falling from the sky and rockets are coming.

“All you need is not to be silent, not to stand aside.

“ Tell people the truth about what is happening in Ukraine!

“We want to live in peace and sleep peacefully in our beds, to know that in the morning our relatives and friends will be alive.”

Luiza earlier showed her life at cafes, on trips to Paris, and running her own Russian fashion label.

A video shows her at the Louvre museum during the pandemic.

She was also seen working as an in-demand DJ.
