     Is this the moment Vladimir Putin almost revealed his new woman to the world. The Kremlin strongman on a break in his favourite resort in the north of Russia had driven himself to a sacred monastery in a black Mercedes ML. He parked and emerged from the vehicle before opening the back door apparently for his mystery woman passenger so she could get out. But at this point - perhaps having spotted a camera the passenger, dubbed the lady with the red bag, seems to gestures to Putin to shut the door again. He obediently does so and is then seen walking alone into the church.
