A relative of Naina Yeltsina. Real name and other little-known facts from the life of Naina Yeltsina
In 1949, Yeltsin entered the construction department of the Ural Polytechnic Institute named after SM. Kirov, but before passing the entrance exams, he passed a kind of “workshop” to test his suitability for construction work - he built a village bathhouse according to the “design” of his seventy-year-old grandfather.
The Confession again does not specify which grandfather we are talking about: either it is grandfather Ignat, who laid the village stoves ten years ago, or simply one of his fellow villagers’ acquaintances. Here our “hero” gave free rein to his imagination: he felled pine trees alone, and carried logs on himself from the forest, which was three kilometers from the construction site, and alone he lifted the top crowns, etc.
The bathhouse, together with the dressing room, turned out to be a success, my grandfather accepted the work with an “excellent” rating and gave the go-ahead to enter the institute. I entered the institute easily, only two B's, the rest were A's. And a “strange” student life began, firmly connected with the game of volleyball. However, it is better to give the floor to the former student himself:
“Student life has begun: stormy and interesting. From the first year I plunged into social work. On the sports line - the chairman of the sports bureau, on me - organization all sporting events.
I was already quite involved in volleyball back then. high level, became a member of the city's volleyball team, and a year later participated in the Sverdlovsk team in major league games, where the 12 best teams in the country played.
All five years while I was at the institute, I played, trained, traveled around the country, the workload was enormous. True, we took 6-7 places and didn’t become champions, but everyone took us seriously.”
There's no time for studying here. We do not find in B. Yeltsin’s memoirs any memories of professors and teachers of the UPI named after S.M. Kirov (the case of Professor Regitsky is a pleasant exception), about his work in student circles or the student scientific society of the institute, about the reports he made at student scientific conferences, what topics coursework or projects he had to work on, which of his professor-mentors he remembered for the rest of his life.
There is nothing of this, as if he is a student not of UPI, but of some institute of physical education, or at least a full-time volleyball coach at the physical education department of the same UPI. He has no time to study scientific work, would pass the next session and go back into battle.
“Volleyball really left a big mark on my life, since I not only played, but then also coached four teams: the second team of UPI, women, men - in general, it took me six hours every day to play volleyball and study (and no one gave me any favors I didn’t give it) I only had to do it late in the evening or at night, even then I taught myself to sleep little, and until now I somehow got used to this regime and slept for 3.5-4 hours...” To be sure, without concessions, of course, it didn't work out.
“We all learned a little...” and we know very well in what privileged conditions the sports stars of institutes and universities invariably found themselves. For the sake of the sporting honor of the institute, the dean’s office calmly turned a blind eye to any absenteeism or absences, and no one asked such students strictly: as long as they won more diplomas, cups, and pennants.
In this situation, a sports star, in principle, may not attend classes at all, but only show up on time for tests and exams, preparation for which was reminiscent of storming a fortress. Such students “mastered” a semester course of any subject in 4-5 days, which gave rise to a well-known student joke: in response to the question “in how many days can you master the Chinese language?” the question followed: “when to take it?”
So for student-athletes, all subjects in the course of study were a kind of “Chinese literacy”. Professor Regitsky, who taught a course on the theory of plasticity of materials, apparently was a “black sheep” at the institute, since he demanded that students report for the semester in their subject, regardless of athletic achievements.
Here he is the only one who ended up in Yeltsin’s memoirs: “Once Professor Regitsky, during an exam on the theory of plasticity, asked me to answer immediately, without preparation. He says: “Comrade Yeltsin, take a ticket and try without preparation, you are our athlete, what do you need to prepare for?”
And everyone has notebooks and notes on their desks. The fact is that in the theory of plasticity there are some formulas that must be written on more than one page and are impossible to remember. It was allowed to use textbooks and notes. The professor decided to experiment on me. We fought with him for a long time.
But he still gave me a B, it’s a pity.” In fact, student Yeltsin lives to the nines. Daily training for six or more hours, long trips around the cities of the country as part of the city's national volleyball team, training in fits and starts for 4-5 hours in the evenings and even until late at night sooner or later had to affect his health.
Here are his own memories on this matter: “Once my favorite volleyball almost drove me to the grave. At some point, training for six to eight hours and studying subjects at night (I wanted to have only an “excellent” grade in my record book), apparently I overexerted myself.
And then, as luck would have it, I fell ill with a sore throat, the temperature was forty, but I still went to training, and my heart could not stand it. Pulse 150, weakness, I was taken to the hospital. They told me to lie down and lie down, then there is a chance that in at least four months the heart will recover, otherwise there will be a heart defect.”
However, Yeltsin turned out to be a very undisciplined patient - a few days later he made a romantic escape from the hospital, descending from the top floor along an improvised rope woven from hospital sheets. He went to his parents in Berezniki to complete his treatment, where he again began to get involved in a protracted manner: periods of seemingly complete recovery were replaced by relapses of weakness, apathy, and ultimately he had to stay for a second year.
Naina Iosifovna Yeltsina - biography
Jewish origin
What is Naina Yeltsina's real first name and surname?
So he graduated from the institute only in 1955, a year later than his classmates with whom he began his studies. There is always a silver lining, since as a result he ended up on the same course as Anastasia Girina, who in a few years would become his wife - Naina Iosifovna Yeltsina.
Nationality of Naina Yeltsina... How Anastasia Girina later became Naina Yeltsina is a separate question.
Anastasia Girina ( Naina Yeltsina) was born on March 14, 1932 in an Old Believer family, but, despite the Church Slavonic name - Anastasia, in the house she was called Naya, and at school Naina, which was the reason for biographers of the Yeltsin family to look for Jewish roots in the genealogy of Naina Iosifovna Girina (Yeltsina).
According to Alexander Korzhakov, the version about Jewish origin of Naina Iosifovna, was actively supported by B. Yeltsin’s mother, Klavdia Vasilievna. Thus, in an interview with the former head of the presidential guard for the newspaper Zavtra (1998, No. 43), he, in particular, said: “Yeltsin tells everyone that she is Russian.
Although the name itself is doubtful: in a Russian family, where they know “Ruslan and Lyudmila” Pushkin, they would never call a girl that name, because Naina there is a genius of evil, a sorceress, a witch... So, Klavdia Vasilievna (Yeltsin’s mother) told the journalist , What Naina Iosifovna - Jewish, But " good jew».
When the rapprochement between Berezovsky, Smolensky, Gusinsky, Malashenko, Khodorkovsky, Yumashev, Filatov took place - these are all people of the same nationality - at first I could not understand Tanya (Yeltsin’s daughter): how can she listen to the same Boris Abramovich for hours?.. Alas, maternal genes. Native environment."
For many years, the future first lady of Russia lived under a double name: according to her passport, Anastasia, but in everyday life, Naina. Even Boris Yeltsin, already married, did not know about the existence of a double name for his wife. (->> Naina Iosifovna Yeltsina Wikipedia)
In any case, she claimed this in an interview with the press (how did they formalize the marriage and the birth of their first daughter?). And only in 1960, after the birth of her second daughter, she wrote an application to the registry office and put an end to all this confusion.
Boris Yeltsin writes very little and restrainedly about his future wife in his memoirs: “In the whirlpool of a stormy student life, we formed our own company: six guys and six girls. We lived nearby, in two large rooms, and met together almost every evening.
Of course, someone fell in love with the girls, I fell in love with sports training, and within a month I started playing volleyball again. Some people also liked the treatment, but constantly in our large friendly student family I began to notice one more and more - Naya Girina...
She was always modest, friendly, and somehow soft. This suited my irrepressible character very well. Our mutual sympathy grew gradually, but we didn’t show it, and even if we kissed her, it was like with all girls, on the cheek. And so our platonic relationship continued for a long time, although I internally understood that I had fallen in love, fallen deeply in love and there was no escape.”
Of all the girls in the established student group, Naina Girina was the most inconspicuous and quiet. Biography of Naina Yeltsina banal... Growing up in an Old Believer family, where not only drinking but strong words were considered a sin, she amazed her friends with her humility and gentleness. For the desperate ringleader of student parties with his nose broken by a shaft, this is a rather strange match.
But, according to A. Khinshtein, everything was decided by a very prosaic background: “Nastya was an excellent cook (by student standards). Coming to the girl’s room, Yeltsin invariably swept the pies baked for her off the table, ate homemade borscht and gradually developed sympathy for the sweet, homely young lady.
Their union became a clear confirmation of the thesis that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I would venture to suggest that delicious home-cooked food symbolized the warmth of the family hearth for the future president.
He himself ate from hand to mouth from childhood, saw tempting pickles only in the book “On Tasty and Healthy Food” and quite sincerely considered sausages cooked with the addition of butter to be his highest pleasure.”
According to another version, sport brought young people together; for example, A.A. writes about this. Mukhin and P.A. Kozlov: “Naina met Boris Yeltsin, as you know, in her second year at the institute - Boris Nikolaevich was the chairman of the sports bureau of the construction faculty, and Naina was involved in athletics. They came together in the sports field.”
Apparently both versions have a right to exist, especially since Boris Yeltsin himself confirms this in his other book, “Notes of the President”: “When we lived in a hostel in neighboring rooms for several years, we did not have “love” in the modern sense of the word .
By the way, at first I liked another girl from their group. Then he fell in love with Naya. But it was impossible to start a real romance. We lived some kind of overflowing collective life - stormy, active... Our two rooms - “girls” and “boys” - were called the “collective farm”, I was chosen as the “chairman”, and Naya as the “hygienist”.
The most accurate one. We had a girl who was the “treasurer”, all the money went into one pot, we ate together, laughed together, went to the cinema together, organized cabbage parties, well... we just lived. And, of course, sports, endless volleyball - matches, training, I’m on the court, Naya is on the bench, and I see her face, calm and radiant.”
All this is true, but something important is missing to explain such a long but reliable path to Naina’s heart. He carefully concealed his sympathy for her both from his friends and from herself. As a true leader in the resulting “collective farm,” he behaved like a king.
He kept all the girls who were in love with him, and even the pretty Naina, at a fair distance. The king cannot be accessible to everyone!
He understood and felt that if he took a step towards this or that girlfriend, that would be it, goodbye freedom! He did not want to exchange his strength, which he expected and expected to invest in his career, for love affairs. He decided that he would not make an exception for Naina either.
Let time will pass, it will better show whether they are suitable for each other or not. Emotions are a perishable product, which means that when creating a family you cannot be guided only by them. There must be something more that keeps two people together for life.
It is known that the happiest marriages are those where the spouses have the same value system, the same interests, when they look in the same direction, see the same pictures of the world, speak the same language, and understand each other perfectly.
But in order to be convinced of all this, time is needed and therefore Yeltsin keeps Naina at a distance, while continuing to carefully monitor any of her glances, gestures, phrases, actions - he made a deliberately dismissive appearance, made it clear that pies-pies, sport-sports, and Naya is just one of many for him beautiful girls who are trying to win his heart. And he is the main prize in this competition.
Conquer whoever can! The question is, how did the modest, shy Naina manage to beat all her smart and attractive fellow students who were in love with the handsome sports leader of the department? How did she manage to become the chosen one of the future president of Russia? Until the end, she most likely won’t even realize it herself. Moreover, she didn’t put any special effort into it.
She was just herself. A. Granatova, who has well studied the biographical intricacies of the Yeltsin family clan, writes: “One can more likely assume that Boris saw maternal care, thriftiness and cleanliness in Naya. And yet, the main difference from all her “competitors” was her incredibly patient and enduring character.
Psychological flexibility, willingness to compromise. He was like an icebreaker going ahead, crashing and breaking ice floes on its way, never deviating from its chosen course. And she is like water in the ocean, also strong and energetic, but capable of flexibly taking on any form... They are hard metal and soft water - two elements, two people, they were very suitable for each other.”
It has been said, in our opinion, keyword, which determined the fate of these two completely different psychologically personalities, like this from the poet: They came together - water and stone, Poems and prose, ice and fire... And the word is “maternal care.”
Naina Iosifovna became for Yeltsin for the rest of her life - “wife-mother”. Of the three categories of women - future wives (“wife-mistress”, “wife-mother”, “wife-daughter”) for such an irrepressible nature as B. Yeltsin, only the “wife-mother”, which Naina Iosifovna was, could to become the irreplaceable half of an obstinate spouse.
Always in the shadow of her husband, calm and reasonable, unquestioningly enduring his various breakdowns and antics, she unobtrusively, smoothly helped him open up. It was Naina Iosifovna who played a decisive role in the formation of Yeltsin as the whole country knows him. Without it, he would simply have drunk himself to death, examples of which are yet to come.
And Yeltsin himself understood this well, if in his memoirs he found a few warm words addressed to his half, he “condescended,” so to speak: “All subsequent life showed that this was fate. It was exactly that choice - one out of a thousand.
Naya accepted me and loved me for who I was - stubborn, prickly and, of course, it was not so easy for her to be with me. Well, I don’t say about myself - I fell in love with her, soft, gentle. Good, for life." Thus, the choice of a “wife-mother” as a life partner is not accidental; it also comes from childhood.
The cruelty of the father, to whom the son should have had a natural attachment, pushed him to his mother, who was an intercessor for her beloved son during the drunken antics of his father. The child slowly but surely developed an “Oedipus complex” - unnatural love for his mother and natural responsiveness to women's problems.
For example, at the institute he was the coach of the women's volleyball team, and in leadership positions in Sverdlovsk he always found a common language with women's teams and was personally involved in the improvement of women's change houses. In general, he felt much more confident in a female audience than in a male audience, on the one hand, and quickly found understanding with them, on the other.
Yeltsin's family relations with his father led to the development of other complexes, such as inflated demands on oneself - to be a leader in any environment, on the one hand, and fear of a solitary existence, on the other. Studying and working in all positions, Yeltsin planned his working day in such a way as to spend as much time as possible “in public.”
For example, according to some reports, he excluded Saturday from his days off and always worked to be visible. Yeltsin was burdened by the obligatory Sunday lunches hosted by Naina Iosifovna, considering the rest time to be wasted time.
His vacation was always collective, which he enthusiastically writes about in “Confession...” that even after graduation they would vacation together, the entire “collective farm,” regardless of any ups and downs in life: “And after 1955, when we graduated from the institute, 34 years have passed (the year the “Confession” was written - 1989 - A.K.), and I have never broken this tradition!
And once we even gathered with children. 87 people already came to this meeting. Under no circumstances in a sanatorium, but only in a wild way: we walked through the taiga, through the Urals, along the Golden Ring, once bought tickets for a steamship - and took a ride along the Kama and Volga.
Another time we lived in Gelendzhik, on the seashore in a tent city, and once sailed along the Yenisei to Dikson Island. We always came up with new options, and they were always interesting and fun.” This character trait allowed some researchers to talk about Yeltsin’s “underdevelopment, extreme primitiveness of feelings and undeveloped intimate side of life.”
He compensated for the lack of intimacy with “labor maximalism,” which, as a result, led to the formation of the “self-made man” complex, a “self-made” person. Such a person sincerely thinks that he can do everything and there are no things that he cannot understand and do.
Such a person lives in a completely different coordinate system, where there is no place for emotions, and everything should revolve around one person, that is, around him, his beloved. A. Khinshtein did not scrupulously analyze these psycho-emotional subtleties of his “hero” and lashed out in worker-peasant terms: “It feels like Yeltsin was not interested in women at all. Or they were interested insofar as.
God knows, maybe he got more satisfaction from sports and labor feats than from sex? And in conclusion he gives a medical diagnosis: “Sexual disorders that are not caused by organic disorders appear when there is an actual deviation from age and constitutional norms.
They can be expressed in the form of complete or relative indifference to representatives of the opposite sex and in the manifestation of obvious sexual immaturity.” Naina Iosifovna walked next to her tyrant husband throughout his difficult life path.
Apparently he loved his other half in his own way, but was too busy with his career. Natalya Konstantinovna, a former employee of the Kremlin press service, recalls: “Perhaps all these forty-odd years (in fact, they lived for 51 years - A.K.) she lacked warmth and care, although what woman admits this out loud.
Only once did it burst out in a conversation with his youngest daughter Tatyana about family life: “If my husband kissed me every minute like your Lesha...” Boris Nikolaevich was rude with her, he could shout,
At the same time, he himself admitted this shortcoming: “I am a rather harsh person, I don’t deny it. It’s a little difficult for Naina to be with me.”
Once Alexander Shokhin observed and subsequently described a characteristic scene. Someone close to him fills Yeltsin’s glass. Naina Iosifovna tries to stop him: - Bor, don’t drink! - Tsk, woman! They bring borscht.
Yeltsin takes the salt shaker. Naina Iosifovna warns: - Bor, try first. Salty borscht. Not paying attention to her words, he begins to shake the salt shaker...” Years will pass, and the first lady of Russia will smile awkwardly, not knowing what to tell people about her bruises on her arms.

As a child, Borka received an injury due to which he lost two fingers on his hand. A German grenade exploded in his hands, depriving him of the opportunity to serve in the Soviet army.
The boy was a leader and an activist; he not only studied well, but was also a prefect. The boy was not afraid to defend his point of view and even rebelled against his teacher, who beat schoolchildren and demanded that they work in her garden. Because of this incident, seventh-grader Boris was expelled from school with a wolf ticket, however, he did not give up. The guy went to the city committee of the Komsomol and did everything to be acquitted.

Naina (Anastasia) Iosifovna Yeltsina (before Girin’s marriage) was born on March 14, 1932 in the village of Titovka, Middle Volga region (today Orenburg region)) in the family of Joseph Alekseevich (1910-1966) and Maria Fedorovna (1910-1994) Girin. There were six children in the Girin family. Her parents were wealthy Old Believers; in their family, not only drinking, but also strong words were considered a sin. At birth she was recorded as Anastasia, but everyone called her Naya or Naina. As a rule, the address Anastasia was not used. When she already started working, everyone began to call her by her first name and patronymic. At the age of 25, I officially changed my name to Naina at the passport office because I couldn’t get used to official appeal at the service "Anastasia Iosifovna".
Education
In 1955 she graduated from the construction department of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. S. M. Kirova (Sverdlovsk) with a degree in civil engineering.
Activity
1955-1956 - civil engineer, Orenburg.

The video was sent to Neizvestny in the USA, and soon the museum received a response letter from the sculptor and his video message to schoolchildren, in which he expressed gratitude and noted “the accuracy of insight into the essence of his work and an incredibly subtle understanding of form.”

With rare exceptions, everyone who different years personally communicated with the wife of the first President of Russia Boris YELTSIN, they speak about his wife the same way - “simple and heartfelt.” One of these days Naina Iosifovna will celebrate her 80th birthday. And on April 23, the five-year anniversary of the death of the main man in her life, who so changed the history of our country, is coming that it is better for her not to go out in public without security. And perhaps, in a series of these memorable dates, her husband’s successor as President of Russia and the newly elected head of state will make an exception for the widow of his predecessor and her family - he will not deprive her of privileges.
Much has been written about the wife of the first President of Russia, but very little is known - this woman is so wise. But here is a remarkable fact, especially significant for those who believe in the invisible connection of name and destiny, as well as in the mystery of baptism.
Became innocent
Old Believers Spouses Maria And Joseph Girin bore highly revered Orthodox biblical names. The daughter, born on March 14, 1932, was given a rare name Naina, translated from Hebrew - innocent. It was not in the calendar, and at baptism the girl was named Anastasia- translated from Greek - resurrecting.
Persecution of Old Believers Joseph Stalin and until 1972 were even greater than for the Orthodox. Life would have been easier for her with the name Anastasia Iosifovna. And parents Naina Girina they wrote it down in the documents. She studied with him, but introduced herself to everyone as Naya - beautifully, briefly. And at the age of 25, already married and working, she suddenly went to the registry office and changed her long name in her passport to the short name Naina - they say, so that it would be easier for her colleagues to call her by her first name and patronymic. However, the name given to her from birth Pushkin immortalized in “Ruslan and Lyudmila” as the name of a fatal and “evil woman, a witch.” In Russia it was considered cursed.
Brother Yeltsin- Mikhail, now deceased, in exclusive interview Express newspaper, when asked why Boris Nikolaevich chose Naina Iosifovna as his wife, answered simply: “Because Naya chose him.” And he gave the most flattering description of the wife of his beloved brother, who in his youth replaced his father, and as president, due to predatory anti-people reforms and drunkenness, became a complete pain.
According to Mikhail Nikolayevich, Naina’s kindness, patience and care supported the entire large Yeltsin family, in which “everything somehow went awry in Moscow.” He himself lived very modestly, “from the garden and the garden,” on a regular pension, refused his brother’s help, believed that “Boris was minding his own business and it’s fortunate that Naya is next to him.” Mikhail categorically refused to comment on the famous fall of Boris Yeltsin from a bridge, when he was walking to his mistress with flowers, and someone allegedly threw a bag over his head and threw him into the river.
And to this day, no one knows how Naina Iosifovna reacted to that almost feuilleton story of September 28, 1989, which was supposed to open Russia’s eyes to the frivolity of the personality of the most popular political figure of that time - the time of rallies and thirst for change.
Everyone remembered how Yeltsin, at the plenum of the CPSU Central Committee in 1987, criticized Gorbachev, for which he was immediately demoted from the post of Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee to Deputy Chairman of the State Construction Committee. Because of this, I ended up in the hospital with a hypertensive crisis and even wanted to commit suicide - to stab myself with scissors, but then I chickened out and only scratched myself. This farce was then perceived as a tragedy with a happy ending. On July 2, 1991, Yeltsin became President of Russia. His wife never wore it again perm and began to dress in classic style Coco Chanel.
I preferred Boris to Gagarin
Naina and Boris’s classmates at the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI) didn’t even notice how and when Naya “chose” Yeltsin - a merry fellow and ringleader, the undisputed leader, the initiator of many good endeavors. For example, games of volleyball before the start of classes, a “common cash register” into which everyone was dumped, so that the girls could cook for everyone every day and no one would go hungry. Before this, the guys often drank away their stipend in the hallway.
There were always girls around Yeltsin. He was an inventor. Then on the ship, in white swimming trunks and packs of towels, with gauze caps on his head, together with three guys, he performed the dance of little swans. Then he announced a competition for the most beautiful male legs, he was the first to expose himself, but he lost and could not believe it.
How in such an atmosphere it was possible not to notice the leader’s romance with Naina, only she herself knows. But he doesn’t reveal secrets in his interviews. He says they dated for five years. Then, before Yeltsin left for assignment in Upper Iset, they kissed for the first time in the cinema lobby, and Boris proposed.
By that time, Yeltsin was already a foreman at the Uraltyazhtrubstroy trust, and Naina worked at Vodokanalproekt, where she served for more than 25 years and from where she retired at 55.
At their wedding there was a banner made from a volleyball net: “So that there is no grief for you, multiply, Naya and Borya!” The young husband dreamed of a son, but was born Elena. Yeltsin swore to his friends that he would not stop until he gave birth to a son. Intending to conceive him, he placed an ax and a cap under the pillow. But she was born Tatiana. And although she became a favorite, Yeltsin drank for three days and suggested that his wife not give birth again.
During these years, he left home so early and returned so late that the neighbors considered Naina a single mother. When, on some holiday, the whole family came out of the entrance, the neighbors began to congratulate her on her long-awaited marriage.
And she didn’t tell anyone that her husband not only disappeared at work, but in the evenings he trained the UPI women’s volleyball team until late.
During these years, Mikhail also lived in his brother’s family - Boris forced him to study. He knew very well how many reasons for jealousy Borya gave Naya, how many worries he placed on her shoulders, but, according to him, he never heard from her a word of grumbling or complaints about fatigue.
Family twists and turns
In Moscow, everything really went wrong.
The already reserved Naina had to hide the fact that both of her daughters got married early and soon after the birth of their children became divorcees - that’s what they called women abandoned by their husbands in the Urals. Elena's 18-year-old husband didn't even come to the maternity hospital to meet her and her daughter Katya. Tatyana, who studied at Moscow State University, also fell in love with a classmate Vilena Khairullina, gave birth to a son Boris, took academic leave and went to Sverdlovsk to visit my parents. And Vilen’s father took his son to Ufa - away from temptations. There he had another son with a local girl. Tatyana filed for divorce. The second marriage of Yeltsin's daughters was taken under control. Elena was matched with a pilot Valeria Okulova- the current oligarch from Aeroflot. He left behind a wife and two children in Sverdlovsk.
And Tatyana met a colleague at work Leonid Dyachenko. He kissed her so much that Naina Iosifovna, deprived of the male affection of her busy husband, once exclaimed: “If only my husband kissed me like your Lesha kissed you...” But this marriage did not work out either. Grandson Gleb was born with autism. The doctors suggested that Tatyana leave him at the clinic, but Naina Iosifovna said: “No way!” When the daughter became her father’s right-hand man in the election race and all the intrigues of the political hassle burst into their home, the wife of Yeltsin, who had gone on an endless binge, again took upon herself many of the burdens of this period of family power fever.
Soon she began to protect her husband from all his “well-wishers” and any information that might upset him. According to the deputy Alexandra Khinshtein, most of the officials who came to report to the president first passed through the sieve of Naina Iosifovna. For example, Deputy Prime Minister Poltoranin she categorically indicated who should be appointed and where, and prohibited broadcasting on television reports about the shooting of the “White House”. Whether the faithful wife announced her husband’s decisions or her own - only she knows this too. According to the former head of the presidential security service Alexandra Korzhakova, She would not let Yeltsin go anywhere without her: “Where Yeltsin goes, Naina goes.” People around the president even began to wonder who was in charge in this family and who ruled the country - Yeltsin or his wife.
But at least Tatyana finally got lucky - she fell in love with a journalist Valentina Yumasheva. By recording her father's memories, he became his favorite and found himself on the "team of young reformers." And after Yeltsin’s victory in the 1996 presidential elections, he was appointed first as an adviser and then as head of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation. In 2001, his daughter from his first marriage with a journalist Irina Vedeneeva- Polina - married an oligarch Oleg Deripaska. And she became Yeltsin’s “adopted granddaughter”. In April 2002, more children were added to the Yeltsin family: Polina gave birth to Petya, and then her stepmother Tatyana Yumasheva gave birth to Masha, then Masha appeared to Polina. The Okulovs also tried: four children, Yeltsin’s grandchildren. Katya and Maria expanded their family with two great-grandchildren - Sasha and Misha. Dmitry and Ivan still have a long way to go.
When Yeltsin died, Naina Iosifovna survived thanks to the abundance of those who still needed her care.
New shocks
In memory of my husband this wise woman goes to tennis tournaments, travels to his homeland and everywhere where the first President of Russia is honored and gymnasiums or libraries are opened in his name. Outwardly, everything is fine today, but recently the Internet, where Naina Iosifovna spends a lot of time, was shocked by the news that Polina Deripaska divorces her husband. And this is a serious blow to the family of Tatyana and Valentin Yumashev. After all, Oleg Deripaska is considered her “wallet”.
Journalists suspect that Polina, who is being forced by her husband to spend more time in London, is having an affair with Alexander Mamut- a 52-year-old businessman, who is also rightfully considered the financial patron of the Yeltsin family during the scandals of the 1990s. Electronic publications are distributing a harsh commentary by Tatyana Yumasheva. Polina’s “adoptive mother” in an interview with Le Figaro stated that she herself forbade Polina from getting a divorce, fearing that in the event of a divorce Deripaska would transfer all her debts to her spouse. “This is a very calculating person, what people call a rogue. He now has debts worth several billion dollars, and he is ready to do anything to write off at least part of it,” she announced French journalists daughter of the first President of Russia. But she did not comment on the rumor about her stepdaughter’s affair.
The only hope is for the mercy of the President of Russia - in 2007, he already put an end to the unceremoniousness of officials who, on the eve of the forties, demanded that Naina Iosifovna immediately vacate the state dacha in Barvikha.
Of course, there was nothing new in this requirement. Boris Yeltsin himself did not stand on ceremony with the defeated Gorbachev and his relatives. Before Mikhail Sergeevich left his Kremlin office, Raisa Maksimovna called him. And she said that a certain delegation came to their home and forced the guards to open the apartment for an inventory of the property. Things are pulled out onto the site without waiting for the owners. Alexander Korzhakov assured in his book that the main driver in this shameless undertaking was Naina Yeltsin. One way or another, immediately after the resignation, the first and last president of the USSR had their security guards, Zil, taken away, their telephones taken away, and medical care denied. Yeltsin fought against privileges! But today the times are different: “privileges” are simply an outdated word that has practically gone out of circulation. So why not leave them if they have become the norm?
