Bullies criticize Luiza Rozova
Some accuse her of leading an outrageous lifestyle, while the actions of Vladimir Putin cause thousands of deaths and untold suffering to millions of people. The young woman continues to live in luxury.
Luiza is the daughter of Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45, a cleaning lady who has become a multimillionaire and co-owner of a large Russian bank. Svetlana owns a mansion in Monaco, worth £3.1million. She has not commented on allegations that Putin is her daughter's father, just as the latter has never publicly acknowledged that Luiza is his daughter.
Luiza, who has 91,100 followers on Instagram, stopped posting five months ago. She had previously posted photos of her life in cafés, on trips to Paris, running her own fashion label or working as a DJ.

Social media trolls
Many comments on the social network include the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag.
One of them carried the following message:
The Russian nation must rise up against this dictator. You do not want to deal with him.
Another user wrote:
Stop writing that she's an innocent. She's the girl, she could at least show that she doesn't agree with what her father is doing, influence him in some way.
But, while many lashed out at her, other users defended her:
Don't judge her... It's not her fault.
Putin has two daughters with Lyudmila, the former first lady of the Kremlin, according to official records. The members of the family have not expressed their opinions on the present political situation.
