Perhaps, to say that Vladimir Zhirinovsky isThe brightest and most outstanding person on the Russian political arena, is to say nothing. This man, thanks to his statement, has long become famous far beyond the borders of Russia and the CIS.
What only nicknames and titles for all hisVladimir Volfovich did not enjoy a political career: from an inadequate clown to a gray cardinal. Some believe that he says impossible nonsense and absurd things, trying to attract, thus, attention to his party, the Liberal Democratic Party. Others, on the contrary, believe that everything is not so simple, and in fact, through the mouth of Zhirinovsky, the government speaks, because many things cannot be directly expressed by the top leadership. But Vladimir Zhirinovsky can. But such questions are interested in people close to the circles of power or interested in politics.
Spouse brawler
Watching on television the LDPR leader’s speeches,Sometimes you wonder how with such a loud person who loves to raise his voice and speak sharply with a person, one can live in everyday life and how can one stand next to it every day. Vladimir Volfovich, at first glance, can create the impression of a hot-tempered and slightly unbalanced man. But there was a woman who was able to go with him hand in hand for more than a dozen years. This is the only official wife of Zhirinovsky - Galina Lebedeva.
Their marriage and relationship with a stretch can be called easy and cloudless, but, despite any adversity, Galina remains a faithful companion and ally of her spouse for many years.
History of dating and creating a family
I met this couple in a still quite youngage when they were both in a summer holiday camp. They say that Galina immediately interested Vladimir. She was quite an interesting slim brunette, a student of the biological faculty of Moscow State University. For almost three years between young people there were just friendly relations, while all the time Zhirinovsky was very gallantly courting Galina. Three years after their first meeting, in 1970, Vladimir made a marriage proposal for the girl, which she accepted. They played their wedding in 1971. And exactly one year later, in 1972, the Zhirinovsky family was replenished - they had a son, Igor.
Odd marriage
Relationships in this couple are difficult to name.perfectly exemplary, but despite all the difficulties, the couple have been living together for almost 45 years. There was a period of divorce in their life together, and this happened in 1978. Vladimir and Galina came together again in 1985, and since then they have never parted. Despite the fact that the couple did not officially formalize their relationship again, on the eve of their silver wedding, as a proof of warm feelings and mutual devotion, they were married in the church.
Doubtful divorce
Казалось бы, гражданским браком на сегодняшний day you will not surprise anyone. People who love each other, not necessarily to prove their feelings in the registry office. But in the case of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Galina Lebedeva, things are not so simple.
True friend - not a simple biologist
By profession Lebedev biologist, works inInstitute of Virology RAMS and has a Ph.D. She is studying the problem of HIV infection. But, despite the relatively modest incomes of a researcher, Galina owns several country residences, Moscow apartments and seven expensive cars.
Lebedeva is also engaged in active social activities. She became the creator of the Association of Women LDPR, which solves various humanitarian issues.
Zhirinovsky: children and grandchildren
В браке с Галиной у политика родился один сын − Igor Lebedev. Zhirinovsky and his wife at one time gave the boy the mother’s name specifically so that his father’s shadow does not interfere with his life. Today, Vladimir Volfovich is proud of his son, since, as an adult, he fully supported the ideas of his father and continued his work.
Like her father, Igor was attractedjurisprudence. In 1996, he successfully graduated from the Law Academy in Moscow. Lebedev has long been a member of the LDPR party, and over the course of several years he has made a good political career:
- was an assistant to the deputy of the State Duma;
- served as expert specialist of the LDPR faction;
- was appointed adviser to the Minister of Labor of the Russian Federation;
- He was elected to the State Duma in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2001.
According to this service record, one can draw conclusions that Igor Vladimirovich’s political career was quite successful, however, just like his personal life.
Spouse Lebedev's name is Lyudmila, and information aboutshe knows not too much. In his interviews, Igor does not like to answer questions about his wife, in all likelihood, protecting her from annoying media attention. It is only known that young people were familiar from practically the very childhood. In 1998, twins were born to them: Alexander and Sergey. Igor says that he really wanted to name one of them in honor of his father - Vladimir, but Zhirinovsky dissuaded him from this idea. Today, both brothers are students of the prestigious boarding house at Moscow State University.
Their grandfather admits that, unfortunately, he communicates with his grandchildren very rarely, at best, once a month, since he lacks time for everything.
Igor Lebedev in an interview confirmed thatgrandfather with grandchildren is really extremely rare, at best - congratulates them by phone on their birthday. Basically, grandmothers, who have much more free time than Vladimir Volfovich, pay attention to Alexander and Sergey. But there are other children of Zhirinovsky, which are worth telling.
Relative from Ossetia
Despite the seemingly not quite standard,but it turned out that not all children of Zhirinovsky were born with an official wife, Galina, to many understandable married life of a politician. And for the first time this became known in 1995. Just then, Vladimir brought a 9-year-old child to one of the local channels and informed everyone that this was his son. The boy was called Oleg, and the politician publicly admitted that he had a natural father.
The history of the birth of the boy became known wideto the masses a little later. It turned out that Zhirinovsky met Oleg's mother, an Ossetian, Zhanna Gazdarova, in Cuba, where the woman at that time worked. Zhanna was a very bright and beautiful Caucasian girl. Between her and the politician, a stormy and passionate romance almost immediately began.
Soon the couple in love returned to Moscow, whereOleg was born. Zhanna made a decision to send him for education to her mother, who lived in the small village of Chikola in North Ossetia. It was there that Oleg's childhood passed, where his grandmother, Rakhimat Kardanova, was engaged in his full upbringing.
How father introduced his son to the whole country
At the age of 9, he metnative father. It is not known how Galina Lebedeva took the news, but the politician himself publicly acknowledged his son. And he did it publicly, bringing the boy with him to record the broadcast of one of the central TV channels. After graduation, Oleg moved to Moscow to his mother. He entered the Moscow State University and successfully completed his studies.
The wedding of the son, held without the presence of the father
Пресса вновь резко вспомнила и заговорила о illegitimate son of a State Duma deputy, when Oleg Gazdarov was 26 years old. It was at this age that he decided to marry. His chosen one was Ossetian Madina Batyrova, with whom he met at Moscow State University. The wedding attracted the attention of journalists because it was marked with a special scale. The celebration took place in the Ossetian city of Digora. For the celebration was reserved the most prestigious restaurant "Alcor", whose employees admit that they had not seen such a luxurious event in the entire history of the establishment. According to the information provided in various forums, about 800 guests attended the celebration. The cost of the bride's dress was estimated at about 200 thousand rubles. It is also rumored that the rings for the young were purchased not anywhere, but from Tiffany. The bride's ransom rite was without stinginess on the part of the groom. In general, everything spoke of luxury and full prosperity of the newlyweds.
It’s no secret that all expensesorganizing celebrations, took over Vladimir Volfovich. Naturally, all the gathered relatives, and, of course, the newlyweds themselves, were very much looking forward to the arrival of the famous father of the groom. But the meeting did not happen. Given the level of daily workload of Zhirinovsky, it is quite possible to assume that he really did not have time to attend this event, but it is quite possible that he did not consider it necessary to attend, considering that his father’s debt was fully paid for all expenses.
Mysterious daughter Anastasia
Asking how many children haveVladimir Zhirinovsky, you should not think that everything was limited to two recognized sons. In his numerous interviews, Vladimir has repeatedly said that he also has an illegitimate daughter. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find detailed information about this girl in open sources. Perhaps she herself does not want to advertise her status as an illegitimate child. From the words of Zhirinovsky himself, it’s only known that her name is Anastasia. In the birth certificate, her patronymic is listed in accordance with the biological father, that is, Vladimirovna. And Zhirinovsky’s daughter’s name is her mother’s name, Petrova.
Nastya's birth history is not detailedis advertised. At the same time, Vladimir Volfovich says that if Russian laws allowed him to have several wives, he would have long since formed a relationship with Nastya's mother, and Zhirinovsky’s daughter herself would have worn his name a long time ago.
Interesting charismatic policy bills
In a certain period of time, Vladimir Volfovichactively promoted one bill in the State Duma. He was supposed to allow Russian men to have several formal wives and all children born in this relationship to write to themselves. Of course, many immediately attributed this to the fact that not all Zhirinovsky’s children were born in wedlock.
Relate to his political activities inAs a liberal democrat, you can do it in different ways, you can often dislike his often eccentric speeches and scandalous statements, but you can, on the contrary, look with great interest. But regardless of all factors, Vladimir Volfovich should give undoubted tribute to one thing - he never abandoned his children born out of wedlock with Galina Lebedeva. It is a pity that the general public most likely will never know how the official Zhirinovsky family actually belongs to such public confessions of a father and spouse.
