Russian President Vladimir Putin has always been extremely secretive
about his two daughters, so much so that it's all but impossible to find
their recent photos on the Internet. Now, however, the Kremlin seems to
be doing little to stop a fast-spreading story that Putin's younger
daughter Ekaterina lives in Moscow and heads a company that's involved
in developing a $1.7 billion innovation center.
The Dutch press has long reported that Maria Putina lived with her Dutch boyfriend in a posh apartment building in Voorschoten, Netherlands. When a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine, apparently by pro-Russian rebels, the mayor of the city of Hilversum angrily demanded that Maria be deported: Two-thirds of the passengers were Dutch citizens. He later apologized, but tabloids were already reporting she had fled her Dutch home.
As for Katerina, she was linked -- originally by the Korean press -- to the son of a retired South Korean admiral who once worked at the country's Moscow embassy. The admiral denied the rumors.
