President Putin is not shy of publicity but he fiercely guards the identities of his daughters.
The Kremlin refuses to discuss them openly and no-one seems to know what they look like.
But earlier this week, amidst fury over Russia's alleged involvement in Flight MH17, came news 29 year old Maria Putin, was living in a flat, around 20 miles from where the doomed plane took off.
Now it's claimed, she has fled. But there is also growing mystery in the rolling hills of Surrey.
The Russian ruble is powerful here and the closely guarded area is rife with rumour that one of Putin's daughters lives near a golf course.
There is a growing climate of resentment towards Russia and Putin's response to the Malaysian Airlines disaster.
With sanctions imminent, his almost invisible daughters may find it harder to stay out of the public gaze.
Their father's strong stance is driving many to want to find out exactly where his money and influence lie.
