Hi, Alexander!  With thanks to Mark, and adding to what he said...

ak>  Vladimir Putin's daughter


           Vladimir Putin = one individual.  Correct use of possessive.



ak>  Maria Sharapova's neighbors


           Maria Sharapova = one individual.  Correct use of possessive.



ak>  volleyball player's children


           Do you mean "a volleyball player"... i.e. singular, although you may 
be thinking of a hypothetical individual as representative of a larger group... 
or do you mean "volleyball players *in general*" (plural).  This is significant 
because the correct placement of the apostrophe depends on your answer....  ;-)
