Petr Maksakov: personal life, photo. Lyudmila Maksakova: “My marriage was treated differently Professional psychologist and diplomat
Are there those among us who have not read secular news at least once? Or just not interested in life famous people? Didn't keep track of their fates? Often, in such searches for information, we try everything on ourselves, fantasize and dream, receiving a charge of energy and an incentive to action. This is the second year that a name has regularly appeared in the tabloids: Maksakov Petr. They talk about his family and discuss his achievements.
Golden youth
We have been observing the lives of some people since birth; we recognize others from their roles in films and on the stage, sports records or professional achievements. And there are people whom we hear about only in connection with some secular news. And even reporters call them that: socialite, famous party animal...
Maksakov Peter is neither the first nor the second: he has no special achievements or outstanding talents. But also a reveler young man you can't name it either. Yes, in the company of Moscow's golden youth he is quite famous. But no more. At one time, Peter met with the daughter (of the president of the Russian Wrestling Federation) Tatiana Mamiashvili. But the novel was rather superficial and hasty.
What is so attractive about this guy and why has his name been on people’s lips for the second year in a row? There are several answers to this.
Wedding of the century
First of all, the guy became famous for his marriage. Pyotr Maksakov and - only lazy people didn’t talk about their wedding. At first, they discussed the somewhat hasty nature of the romance: they met at the beginning of the year, and in May they were already engaged. Then everyone tracked the preparations for the grand celebration - the wedding of this couple, which took place in June 2015, almost a year after
Of course, such an event cannot fail to attract attention. Children of famous families start a family. Everyone is interested in looking behind the curtain for a second: what dress the daughter of the most famous Russian designer is wearing, where the ceremony will take place, what kind of ring the bride is wearing and who the guests are. In addition, both novice designers and just amateurs (and maybe those who are preparing for a wedding themselves) are looking for ideas and examples of style and taste. Where else to look for inspiration if not at such ceremonies.
Maksakov Peter walked down the aisle a fragile miniature girl, whose dad created a wedding dress for her weighing 7 kg. And before the engagement, the guy went to New York to see jewelers who restored and made adjustments to the design of the family jewel - his grandmother's ring.
As Valentin Yudashkin said: the guys did not need to have such a magnificent wedding. But they both understand that they are representatives of public families, they grew up in an atmosphere of constant interest in their lives and calmly reacted to everything that happened.
Pedigree
If with Galina Yudashkina everything is quite simple and clear - the daughter of one of the most eminent Russian designers clothes, then Peter Maksakov - a personality almost unknown to the general public. Nevertheless, his family deserves special attention. After all, his family includes diplomats, theater figures, and politicians.
But first things first. Peter's most famous relatives now are his grandmother and aunt. The first is the famous actress, Honored and People's Artist of the RSFSR It was her son Maxim who gave his mother his eldest grandson. And my aunt, Maria Maksakova-Igenbergs, is an opera diva and an active politician. She became a deputy of the State Duma of the VI convocation and works on the culture committee.
On his mother’s side, Peter Maksakov is related to Anatoly Dobrynin. This young man's great-grandfather is credited with "preventing World War III." The fact is that Dobrynin served as the USSR Ambassador to the USA from 1962 to 1986. And it was at the beginning of his career, according to rumors, that he had to talk like a man with permission. It is known that Anatoly Dobrynin was an extremely delicate person. And this trait allowed him to always achieve his goals. According to reviews from close people, all members of this family inherited diplomacy and the ability to negotiate.
Childhood
How did Pyotr Maksakov spend his childhood? The biography of this young man is not yet very eventful, so any interesting moments of his life are of interest to readers. Peter spent his childhood on Bryusov Lane in Moscow, in his grandmother’s house.
The nanny took him for a walk to the playground near the Church of the Ascension. It is noteworthy that Galya Yudashkina and her teacher also walked here. It was the Church of the Ascension that opened its doors to representatives first of the Soviet elite, and then to the elite of the new state. Therefore, from an early age, Peter saw a lot of famous people.
The boy attended primary school in Moscow, at the famous twentieth school. And then his parents decided that an English education was more suitable for their offspring, and Peter Maksakov (his biography is similar to the biography of any child of a famous family) further studied at Oundle. This educational institution in just over four centuries it has proven itself to be excellent.
Higher education and career
Of course, the offspring of diplomats, observing family traditions, studied at MGIMO and received an MBA there. But before that, still in England, he received a degree in psychology from the University of Durham.
Peter's career is still at the very beginning. But now he is developing several independent projects. One of them is the brand “Vodka Kremlevskaya” - a joint venture with Ilan Shor (husband of singer Jasmine). The other - the company "SMiT" - was created by Peter and his friends to develop startup concepts.
It is obvious that Valentin Yudashkin also found a use for his son-in-law: at Valentin Yudashkin, Peter took the position of a business consultant.
Without snobbery
Despite the widespread opinion that representatives of the “golden youth” are great snobs, Pyotr Maksakov (the photos posted in the review confirm this) is quite democratic. He drives a Chevrolet to work, lives in the Yudashkins’ house, and plans to build his own house next door (so as not to waste precious time driving through Moscow traffic jams).
According to Galina, she and her husband have a hot temper. But both learn to bypass the cornerstones and see the main thing behind the emotions - loved one and kindred spirit.
Pyotr Maksakov, whose biography and personal life is known to few, until some time he was generally famous only in the circles of golden youth. He is one of those few people who became famous for their personal life.
Pyotr Maksakov was lucky to be born into an elite family. His biography began in Moscow. He was born in 1990. Peter spent his childhood in the very center of the capital. The boy inherited his famous surname from his illustrious grandmother.
Her eldest son, Maxim, (Peter’s father) is a major businessman. However, he brought his own drop of ointment into the personal life of the famous family. The fact is that he was accused of fraud and spent some time in prison.
Petr Maksakov
Peter's mother, Ekaterina Dobrynina, is the granddaughter of Anatoly Dobrynin. This is the Soviet ambassador to the USA. If you believe the press, it was he who stopped the outbreak of the third world war. Thanks to his negotiations with President Kennedy's brother, a peace treaty was concluded.
Little is known about this. In general, Pyotr Maksakov’s great-grandfather was taciturn and calmly achieved his goal, so few people know about his biography. He passed this personal quality on to his descendants.
Peter's school life began in an elite Moscow school. But then the parents decided that their son should receive secondary education abroad. The boy completed high school in England.

If we continue the conversation about Peter’s famous relatives, then the outstanding personality in their family is. This is his father's sister, the daughter of Lyudmila Maksakova. Her biography is known to many. She is an opera singer, leading soloist of the Mariinsky Theater. The personal life of Maria Maksakova is always on the pages of the press.
Recently, her husband, a prominent political figure, was killed in Ukraine, leaving their common children orphans.
Getting a profession and meeting Galina
After graduating from school, Petr Maksakov decided to get higher education right there in England. He entered an English university to study psychology. After graduating from this university, his biography continued in Russia. There he decided to get a second higher education and entered the Moscow State Institute international relations. Having successfully completed it, the young man takes his first steps in entrepreneurship.

It was then that fateful changes took place in his personal life. Peter saw Galina Yudashkina’s photo several times and liked her. He was waiting for an opportunity to meet this beautiful girl. But imagine his surprise when he saw a message from her on Facebook. She was ahead of him in acquaintance.
Pyotr Maksakov, as is known from his biography, revealed on the pages of the press, had previously met with other girls. In his personal life there was an affair with Tatyana Mamiashvili (daughter of the president of the Wrestling Federation). But it was cut short for unknown reasons.
It becomes a tradition - children from elite families start dating. Galina also met with Nikita Presnyakov before meeting Peter. According to the press, she was even going to marry millionaire Fakhriev.

The next day after meeting on the Internet, Peter invited Galya to an exhibition of Van Gogh’s works. Then there was a meeting again. The young people found a lot in common with each other. They have similar tastes and interests. And finally, they decided that they should be together.
The chosen one of Peter Maksakova
Beloved of Peter Maksakov - Galina Yudashkina was born in Moscow in rich family. Galina's father is a famous couturier. Mom, Marina Yudashkina, is a charming woman who works as a top manager at her husband’s fashion house.
Her biography deserves special attention. She, having received the profession of hairdresser and cutter fashionable clothes, got a job in a clothing industry, where she met her future husband. A friendship began between them, which grew into a passionate, dizzying romance.
Galina's father, famous clothing designer Valentin Yudashkin
Soon all their colleagues learned about the changes in their personal lives. Their wedding was stunningly beautiful. Valentin sewed a wedding dress for his beloved unimaginable beauty. For those times this was an unusual luxury.
And since then they have been together for more than thirty years! The love between them does not fade, just as Marina’s youth and beauty do not disappear. They always dreamed of children. And in 1990, they had a daughter, who was named Galina.

In the photo, the family looks luxurious against the backdrop of a rich, elite setting. But there were also difficult times for this married couple when they experienced a money crisis. I even had to sell the car. But then things picked up again. During difficult years, the couple supported each other. Since childhood, Galya has witnessed their amazing, strong love and mutual respect. She always dreamed of finding the same love as her parents.
Galina Yudashkina
And finally, the dream has come true! Her chosen one is young, handsome and rich. In May 2014 they got engaged. By that time, Galina had graduated from the history department of the university and was working in her father’s company as an art director. She is a pretty, modest, very smart girl. Galina inherited her stunning blue eyes from her mother, and the lower part of her face from her father.

Wedding
Everyone understands that the wedding of the daughter of a famous fashion designer is a difficult event. Preparations for it began a long time ago. The best banquet organizers, florists, hairdressers and chefs were gathered. Galina's dress, of course, was designed by her father. But her mother took upon herself the creation of the bride’s hairstyle (after all, she is an excellent hairdresser!).
Despite the fact that Pyotr Maksakov and Galina Yudashkina actually became spouses (signed in the registry office) in September 2014, the wedding was scheduled for June 2015.
Galina's wedding dress was personally sewn by her father, designer Valentin Yudashkin.
As it turned out, the biographies of the young people began very close! They grew up together in Bryusov Lane in Moscow. Only the family of some lived in house number one, and of others in house number seven. It turns out that they were taken for a walk to the same public garden - near the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. This coincidence could not leave anyone indifferent! But for some reason they were not lucky enough to meet each other and get to know each other before.
The wedding of famous people, like their personal life, cannot remain in the shadows. The attention of many representatives of high society and ordinary citizens of the country was riveted to her. Firstly, I wonder what kind of outfit the best couturier will create for the bride? The parents, of course, tried.

The bride's wedding dress weighed almost seven kilograms! It took fifty meters of high-quality expensive silk. It was manually decorated with beads and pearls. The number of these jewels was measured in hundreds of thousands. Of course, it’s scary to think about the price of such an outfit.
Alexandra Kim was assigned to do the bride's makeup. Since Galina is too short - five-foot-five - special shoes from Jimmy Choo were selected for her. They increase height by ten centimeters.
The newlyweds got married in the Church of St. Clement on Pyatnitskaya Street. The grandiose ringing of the bell could be heard several blocks away. The newlyweds were then driven away in a Rolls-Royce.
A symphony orchestra was invited especially for the wedding ceremony.

Before the wedding day, the bride threw a grand bachelorette party, to which her best friends were invited. It took place in an expensive hotel. The fun was overflowing. There were also famous personalities and simple girls. Anya Maksakova, Peter’s sister, was also included in the girl’s company. Despite the fact that she is not yet eighteen years old, the girl looks older than her years. The tall, long-legged beauty is also waiting for her worthy groom. Peter refused to host the bachelor party, considering it an unnecessary event.
For Galina's wedding dress it was spent a large number of expensive silk
Petr Maksakov especially for this important moment his biography, he flew to New York to famous jewelers in order to fit his grandmother’s family wedding ring for the bride.
The table was, as expected, magnificent and replete with exquisite dishes. Everyone was personally interested in the wedding cake. He was two meters high and weighed about three hundred kilograms! Surely no one has ever tried anything like this in their life! They say that such a magnificent table was organized by the groom's relatives. There were many exotic dishes on it, the best restaurant masters worked on them. The dishes were made of elite porcelain.

The groom's aunt, Maria Maksakova, wished the newlyweds happy life and the best children. She presented a cash gift and then performed famous arias from operas. The young people look amazing in the photo! Their dance was unusual - a mixture of rock and roll and Charleston.
Their joint biography began with honeymoon. The young went to Los Angeles.
Life after marriage
Two years have already passed since the wedding. How did their subsequent lives turn out? Peter works at the Valentin Yudashkin Center as a business consultant. Simultaneously develops several independent projects. One of them is a joint production with Ilan Shor (husband famous singer Jasmine). The other is an independent company that he created together with his friends.
After the wedding, Peter Maksakov and his wife live in America
Peter does not at all exalt himself above other citizens. He drives to work in a simple Chevrolet. He is building his own house next to his wife’s parents’ house.
And the most important event happened in April 2016. They had a son, who was named Anatoly. He, of course, receives special attention from his parents and representatives of both elite families. Grandmothers spoil him to the point of insanity. After all, they have dreamed of grandchildren for so long! The baby has already managed to visit his grandfather’s fashion show in Paris with his mother.

Large spaces are open to the new member of the Maksakov family. What will he choose? What path will he follow when he grows up? Perhaps he will be a singer? Or will he replace his grandfather in the field of fashion? The choice is his.
The young people live a happy, quiet family life. All disputes that arise during the difficulties of everyday life are resolved peacefully with the help of love. Although they do not hide the fact that they both have a hot-tempered nature. But love conquers all omissions and disagreements. As for the further continuation of the family - not the young, but only after a few years. We need to give Gala’s mother a rest and gather strength for the next restless successor of the elite family.

Galina left her career when she realized that she was expecting a child. Now its main goal is to create peace and harmony in the family. When she meets her husband from work, she feeds him a delicious dinner, relieving him of the burden of fatigue and worries for the day.

Galya never takes off her wedding ring and doesn’t let anyone try it on. And this is not only because of the value of the jewelry (although it, of course, costs fabulous money!), but rather because special treatment to her status as a married woman.
All that remains is to wish Peter and Galina happy family life, more children and health for many years.
Galina Yudashkina and Petr Maksakov
Galina Yudashkina and Pyotr Maksakov should become parents very soon. The baby's name was thought up in advance - Anatoly, in honor of his grandfather, the legendary ambassador of the USSR to the USA. And this is far from the only prominent representative of several dynasties that were connected with each other thanks to the marriage of Galina and Peter...
Their wedding became one of the most talked about events of the past year. And in secular circles everyone loudly calls this marriage a dynastic one. She is the daughter of one of the most titled Russian fashion designers, he is a representative of a famous artistic and diplomatic clan.
Galina Yudashkina and Pyotr Maksakov should have met much earlier, back in childhood. Both grew up literally a couple of steps away from each other. Galya is in Bryusov Lane in house number one, Peter is in house number seven, with the famous grandmother. They even once played on the same playground - next to the Church of the Ascension. However, they began to take a closer look at each other much later, when she became an enviable bride, and Peter, having studied in England and returned to Russia, decided to start a family. It was then that he, having studied the “bride market,” noted the youngest Yudashkina and began to carefully ask mutual friends about her. Galina then, not knowing about the increased attention from Peter, also became interested in the descendant of the famous dynasty. And she even took the first step towards him, once sending him an emoticon on social networks, and started a conversation about all sorts of nonsense.
Liliya Sharlovskaya
Their first date took place at a Van Gogh exhibition. And then the relationship developed rapidly, even by the standards of today’s high-speed age. Having met in early 2014, they announced their engagement in the spring (in honor of this event, Peter gave Galina a family heirloom - earrings with sapphires and diamonds that belonged to his great-grandmother, the famous opera singer Maria Maksakova). Three months later they officially became husband and wife. But then the couple decided to take a long break to prepare for the wedding and a magnificent wedding.
The wedding ceremony was held in the Church of St. Clement on Pyatnitskaya, and a little later the wedding took place in Gostiny Dvor. About five hundred guests attended. This is understandable: after all, representatives of very famous dynasties actually got married. And it’s worth talking about this in more detail.
Liliya Sharlovskaya
High matters
So, her name was Galina. From a family that is considered very strong. After all, her father, Valentin Yudashkin, and mother, Marina Yudashkina, have been together for almost thirty years. Their marriage went through fire, water and copper pipes. There were times when Valentin, in order to somehow exist, had to sell the furniture from his house and his car. Moreover, the property belonged to Marina. “To say ‘I’m grateful to her’ is an understatement. I greatly appreciate that she dedicated her life to me. She believed in me…” Yudashkin said in one of his interviews. Before her marriage, Marina Yudashkina was a fairly famous hairdresser in bohemian circles. And of course, the aspiring fashion designer knew her among many. They got married three months after their first date and have not been separated since then.
Today all secular Moscow gathers in their hospitable home. Alla Pugacheva is considered a frequent guest: she met the aspiring fashion designer in the mid-eighties, and since then she always dressed up in a dress from Yudashkin at every concert. Galina, at the age of five, even had an affair with Alla Borisovna’s grandson, Nikita Presnyakov. “He told me threateningly: ‘If you don’t marry me, I’ll kill you!’” she said, laughing. - We are still friends. True, we rarely see each other, so we communicate most often through Facebook.”
Every appearance of Galina in society with any young man was immediately covered by the press. And in 2010 she was completely “married off.” The media reported that the youngest Yudashkina was about to marry the young millionaire Ruslan Fakhriev. True, Galina herself said at the same time, six years ago, that the sensation was a duck. Journalists are organizing a “wedding” for Ruslan and me for the second time,” the girl said then. — The first wave of publications took place after reporters saw us together at the Ritz Carlton Hotel at the 2009 Luxury Brand Awards. But then I didn’t have a ring on my hand. Therefore, the “sensation” did not produce much effect. And now, having seen the ring, the paparazzi were delighted: here it is, proof! And they began to fantasize." According to her, the ring that excited the press was actually given by her dad."
Nevertheless, Galina always said that she dreams of meeting a person whose love she will carry throughout her life: “I would like to have the same family as my mom and dad. I have seen since childhood: parents love and respect each other very much. And over the course of twenty-five years of marriage, their feelings have not changed. That's great rarity. I'm with young age I learned: such love must be preserved and protected with all our might.”
Today Galina herself really hopes that Pyotr Maksakov will become such a person for her. Wise Valentin Yudashkin, who once learned about his daughter’s engagement from her Instagram, also believes in her happy future: “Children have feelings and a common desire to move on together. This is just as important for marriage in 2015 as it was in 1915. Another thing is that now everything is on display. Galya and Petya come from public families and are not surprised by this situation. Their wedding receives more attention than anyone else's. It’s fortunate that they take this calmly.”
Picturesque scenes
Peter's most famous relative is his grandmother, actress Lyudmila Maksakova. When they talk about Lyudmila Vasilievna’s personal life, they remember first of all her German husband Peter Andreas Igenbergs, from whom was born a daughter, Maria Maksakova (Peter Maksakova’s aunt). Of course: at one time it was a big story! After all, for the sake of her love, the actress had to sacrifice national fame.
“We met at the entrance,” Lyudmila Maksakova told the story of meeting her future husband. — On the occasion of the theater’s anniversary, several of our artists were awarded titles. I was also awarded the title of Honored Artist. My friend Lilya, the wife of film director Alexander Mitta, called me and persuaded me to go celebrate this event. And so, as I remember now, I go down the stairs in a blue knitted dress and see at the entrance a man in a sheepskin coat, glasses and a fur hat. And for some reason the earflaps have the visor down. This was my Peter."
Immediately on the day they met, Peter proposed marriage. Lyudmila agreed, but she did not suspect that she was putting an end to her brilliant career. Marriage to a foreigner in those years was considered sedition. Almost immediately after the wedding, her photographs were confiscated almost everywhere, she was no longer invited to the cinema, problems began in the theater, many colleagues stopped communicating with her. The period of oblivion lasted until the mid-seventies - at the very peak of her feminine beauty. Only when a thaw began in the country and foreign directors began to be invited to the USSR, the bans on filming Lyudmila Maksakova were lifted.
However, when talking about her marriage to Peter Andreas Igenbergs, for some reason they forget about the actress’s first marriage, thanks to which her grandson Peter was born. But her chosen one was at one time a significant figure in Soviet art. The artist Lev Zbarsky was born into a famous and very influential family. His father, academician Boris Zbarsky, once embalmed Lenin’s body. They say that when during the war the leader’s body was evacuated to Siberia, the entire Zbarsky family had to go there too. Little Lev was traveling in a compartment where Lenin was lying on the next shelf.
But Zbarsky’s scientific path was not very attractive. Since childhood, he has not parted with a pencil and paper. And in Soviet years was a very popular artist. Thus, Sergei Dovlatov wrote in his book “Solo on Underwood” that Khrushchev's thaw for him it began with Zbarsky’s drawings. And the writer called illustrations for Olesha’s works the pinnacle of perfection.
Before marrying Lyudmila Maksakova, Zbarsky had many affairs (for example, with Marianna Vertinskaya) and one marriage - with an insanely popular fashion model named Regina in the early sixties. The French magazine Paris Match called it “the Kremlin’s most beautiful weapon.” By the way, Regina’s fate was tragic: after Leo literally forced her to have an abortion, she tried to commit suicide. Then the organs haunted her, and in the end she died in a very strange way - she died with a telephone receiver in her hands.
Despite his reputation as a ladies' man, friends claim that Zbarsky was very decent in his personal relationships. Igor Kvasha in his book “Point of Return” recalled the artist this way: “Many considered him, the first playboy of Moscow, to be an inveterate womanizer. Despite the fact that he married several times, he was faithful to his wives. If you fell in love, you would certainly get married. When the love ended, he separated. But he never cheated on his wives.”

When Zbarsky married Lyudmila Maksakova, she was already an all-Union star. However, with the birth of their son Maxim (the father of our hero, Pyotr Maksakov), the relationship between the spouses went wrong. The fact is that Zbarsky and Maksakova lived in an unfinished artist’s studio, which was clearly not suitable for raising a child. Therefore, Lyudmila moved with her son to her mother, opera singer Maria Maksakova. It is clear that the couple could not survive for long with two houses. After the divorce, Zbarsky emigrated to America. Son Maxim stayed with his mother, and at the family council it was decided to give the boy her last name - so that there would be no problems at school and college. Maxim was raised by his stepfather, Peter. Maxim did not become an artist, an actor, or a musician. He is engaged in business, lives either in Moscow or in Rome, where his current wife and two daughters are. But his first marriage with Ekaterina Dobrynina, in which son Peter and daughter Anna were born, fell apart very quickly. Perhaps because they met too early. Lyudmila Maksakova recalled that when twenty-year-old Maxim “delighted” her with the news of his marriage, she could only ask: “Do you know what they do after they get married at twenty?” “No, mom, what?” - he asked. “They’re getting a divorce,” Lyudmila Vasilievna answered harshly.
Nevertheless, the actress really liked her son’s young wife, Ekaterina. And Maksakova communicated with her parents even after Maxim divorced. Catherine's father Anatoly Dobrynin is the legendary USSR Ambassador to the USA. He served in this position for about a quarter of a century and did a lot to strengthen relations between our countries. So on his maternal side, Pyotr Maksakov also has very famous relatives.
Young family
It is clear that, having been born into such a family, Pyotr Maksakov received an excellent education. At one time, he studied at the famous twentieth metropolitan school, after which he went to England, to the prestigious Undle (one of best schools Britain, whose history dates back to the 16th century, the cost of training is about thirty thousand pounds per year). Then there, in England, he received a diploma from Durham University (the third oldest in the UK after Oxford and Cambridge). And as a finale - an MBA at MGIMO. Now Peter has several ambitious projects at once, which, as all his relatives are sure, will help create decent living conditions for a young family.
Galina Yudashkina, despite her young years, has also achieved a lot. She graduated from the Faculty of History of Moscow State University, receiving a diploma in art history. Then she held the position of art director of Valentin Yudashkin. However, although Galina said that she planned to make a career, she almost immediately made her parents happy that they would soon become grandparents. The heir should appear in early spring. At the end of January, the young woman flew to America, where she will give birth. Before leaving, she threw a party for her friends. And while already at the airport, she published a “farewell” photo with the hashtag “30weeks”: “Well, that’s all, it’s time to fly away! Time has flown by so quickly, now see you in May! And new adventures and unforgettable events await me!”
What is the elite of society? Of course, these are famous artists, politicians, military men and scientists. There are many famous dynasties in Russia, known throughout the world. Among them are the Tolstoys, the Mikhalkovs, and now the Maksakovs.
But if the Tolstoys and Mikhalkovs were not noticed in any particular scandals, then the Maksakovs’ surname became the adornment of almost all tabloids and the point is not in their services to the Fatherland, but in the indecent behavior of some representatives of the famous family.
So, what will we remember the Maksakovs for?
Well, firstly, Maria Petrovna - an opera diva, People's Artist of the USSR. It was she who became the founder of the dynasty. In 1940, her daughter Lyudmila was born. The girl's father was an artist of the Bolshoi Theater. Unfortunately, he was not interested in his child and very soon left the USSR to build his career in the West.
Lyudmila Maksakova first married the well-known artist Lev Zbarsky. It was for the sake of young Lyudochka that this socialite of all Moscow abandoned the “Red Queen”, fashion model Slava Zaitsev Regina Zbarskaya.
The son of Lyudmila Maksakova will repeat the same fate. The father will never be interested in his son and will leave Russia in the same way.
What do we know about Maxim Zbarsky (Maksakov)? Nothing, except that he was actively stealing budget resources and was convicted. It was proven that Maxim Maksakov is the organizer and participant in the theft of 260,000,000 rubles from the state budget.
Agree. not the most decent biography. Now Maxim’s son, Pyotr Maksakov, is happily married to a representative of another elite family, the Yudashkins. Let's wish them happiness.
But the most famous Maksakova is the same Maria who fled from Russia to Ukraine, where misfortunes never cease to haunt her.
Sometimes we have to regret that we did not listen to our parents in time. Still, the advice of moms and dads can be priceless, but only after becoming adults and having screwed up, we begin to understand how right they were.
A striking example of the fact that one must obey one’s mother is the odious Maria Petrovna Maksakova Jr. This amazingly unlucky woman has suffered so many misfortunes that it is generally unclear how she finds the strength to live. But Maksakova herself is to blame for all her troubles, having built up a real garden of lies, vanity, an endless search for freebies and a complete lack of love in her destiny.
There is a type of woman who, like a magnet, attracts scammers, gigolos and scoundrels of all stripes. What's to blame? Maybe some specific vibes or incorrect behavior?
It seems to me that the main problem of Maria Maksakova is her mother, Lyudmila Maksakova. A beautiful, talented, but very authoritarian and cruel lady, she wished only the best for her children, but, alas, nothing came of it. The son turned out to be dishonest, and the daughter betrayed her country.
At first, Maria Maksakova lived in a civil marriage with a crime boss named Tyurin and bore him two children, then she had an affair with a jeweler with Caucasian roots - Jamil Aliyev, and then a certain Denis Voronenkov appeared in her life.
It is worth noting that the relationship between mother and daughter did not work out from the very beginning. It is very difficult to endure a mother’s difficult temperament. Lyudmila Maksakova was sharply against the relationship of her only daughter with the bandit and could not stand Voronenkova. After the murder of her son-in-law in Kiev, this lady will say: “Well, thank God. What else can we do with him? Thank God that in the end the person who was so mean... He’s a military man, he would have been shot for treason long ago.” .
The misfortunes of Maria Maksakova did not end there. After the murder of Voronenkov, she does not want or cannot return to Russia, where her children live and grow up, her relationship with her mother is ruined forever and her personal life is bursting at all the seams.
Just recently, news was published that she secretly married a young Caucasian man, who took away her Moscow apartment on Frunzenskaya Embankment, and just yesterday unknown people burst into her Kiev apartment and asked her to leave the living space she occupied with her child within 24 hours.
What else could happen in the life of Maria Maksakova to finally finish her off? What's to blame? Her boundless gullibility, as she herself claims, or her craving for shady personalities like Tyurin and Voronenkov?
AND The life of the Maksakov-Yudashkin family is inextricably linked with the Tver region. Galya and Petya grew up in neighboring houses on Bryusov Lane. After classes, he ran to his grandmother at the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theater, and she spent all her free time with her dad at work, on Voznesensky Lane. Quite recently, a restaurant with the telling name “Fashion House” opened here, where young parents often come with their children - sons Tolya and Arkasha. In a place with a huge veranda, hidden from prying eyes by greenery, it is difficult to find a free table on a warm Sunday evening. The aroma of Italian herbs and freshly baked pizza wafts through the territory of the 18th-century mansion, where Alexander Sumarokov and Evgeny Baratynsky once lived, and where Valentin Yudashkin created his collections; men in business jackets decide important issues here, and young guys play PlayStation - and everyone feels at home.
“We are very strict parents when it comes to studying. Otherwise, we try not to forbid our children anything.”

The idea to open a restaurant came to our friends, who helped bring it to life,” says Petya. - We didn’t think about the cuisine for a long time, we made it Mediterranean and invited the chef Fabio Ancelotti. He's half Italian, and the food was homemade - like a Sicilian grandma's.
Valentin Yudashkin reacted with understanding to such a drastic “change of dishes” and even managed to try it.
“Dad now hangs out here all the time,” Galya states, laughing, “and he prefers to hold all meetings not in a stuffy office, but in rattan chairs.
Galya and Petya live with their children in the center of Moscow, but they prefer to spend weekends at the Yudashkins’ country house in Bakovka, near Moscow, where our shooting took place.

While we are talking, three-year-old Tolya appears near the table and, grabbing juice and popcorn, runs away to the side kitchens. How can you not lose your child in this world of fresh baked goods and gluten?
We are fairly calm parents and allow the boys everything. I’m sure the more they ban, the more they want it. And so on children's party our boys usually eat one or two candies and run off to play. But I often see children who, at such events, see so much sweets for the first time, and it is impossible to tear them away from the table.
The young mother speaks.
Last March, Galya and Petya became parents for the second time: their son Arkady was born in Miami. With two small children, the heiress of a fashion empire could easily afford to go on maternity leave for a long time, leave the post of art director of the family company and instead business correspondence Instagram with parenting tips under the hashtag #motheroftwo. But instead, Galya took up work with renewed vigor and two months after Arkasha’s birth, she opened the Get Ready beauty salon.
During the six months that I lived in Miami, I became a little wild with nothing to do,” she admits. - All the winter shows and collections took place without me. I was constantly on the phone, in correspondence, but was not present in person, and I really missed that. So upon returning, I plunged headlong into work.
“Tolya had her first photo shoot for HELLO! in a year, now it’s Arkasha’s turn. Let’s consider this a good tradition”
Galya personally selected all the artists for the salon. It was difficult to do this with two babies in my arms, and then the idea came up - to organize a children's room at Get Ready: parents can come and take care of themselves and not worry that their child will cut his own hair at this time.
Last year, the Yudashkin family became “large” and released the first Yudashkin Kids collection. According to Gali, her father had long dreamed of making a children's line, but was not ready to do it. Therefore, all issues - from purchasing a license to choosing a model’s hairstyle on the catwalk - were taken on by the daughter:
Everything I do is inspired by my sons. The boys and I often go to children's events, and I caught myself thinking that the biggest shortage is evening wear at the children's market. There are as many casual and mass-market items as you like, but finding couture items was not so easy. We decided to correct this and became, one might say, the only Russian brand in this segment.
“Many people say that Arkasha looks like my dad, but when I took out my mother’s childhood photographs, I was convinced: he is her copy.”
In the new project Galina is creative director, but, as before, he is not going to develop a design:
For this we have professionals on our team.
The male part of the family also does not interfere in this area - they trust the entire process to Gala:
When dad came to our first show this year and saw 50 children in the hall, he said: “Oh, no. I couldn’t do that.”
So how does she manage to run a brand, a salon and at the same time raise two sons?
Arkasha is very calm, you can take him to meetings without any problems. And Tolya until six in kindergarten, then - on additional classes- gymnastics or Spanish. He has so much energy! If I had more time to carry it around, I would load it with something else,
Says the winner of the Supermom 2018 award in the Fashion category.
“I feel like I could work even harder, but then I wouldn’t see my children grow up, and I’m not ready to make such sacrifices.”

During the five years of living with the Yudashkins, Pyotr Maksakov could not stay away from the family business and plunged into the world of expensive silks and elegant lace, becoming a junior partner in the company, responsible for international development.
This business is not as glamorous and creative as I originally imagined. I thought the fashion world was similar to the world of art, painting, art galleries, but it turned out that it has more in common with the oil sector. It was a shock for me when Galya and I first went to a conference where the heads of all the world's fashion companies were present. I saw people focused solely on monetary results - sort of wolves from Wall Street, trying to sell profitably, and not do something outstanding for the fashion world,
Petya remembers.

Now, when the fashion industry is developing exponentially, Instagram stars are becoming trendsetters, and virtual models are increasingly replacing real ones, it is the symbiosis of the old school of Valentin Yudashkin and the modern look of Gali and Petit that helps Valentin Yudashkin remain one of the most famous Russian brands in the world .
Dad takes all these new trends hard - simply because he doesn’t know how to interact with them. If I tell him that fashion influencers should be invited to the show, he is surprised and begins to be indignant: “Who is this? I don’t even know them!” But when I explain to him, he listens to my words,” says Galya. - On the other hand, this one new world he likes it, he understands: the possibilities are enormous. And if previously the only way to get your brand recognized was to perform at Paris Fashion Week, now it’s enough to be shown on Instagram by Kim Kardashian.
“Tolya is a very emotional kid, Arkasha is calm, but a big mischief.”

However, to suddenly change the concept, dress up bloggers, rebrand and move away from evening dresses no one is going to street style.
Nowadays new designers are constantly appearing, but when people need Wedding Dress or a red carpet outfit, then they come to us. Therefore, a sharp change in course towards modern trends will not help much; rather, on the contrary, it will destroy that part of the brand that is valued most by customers.
Peter thinks.

Valentin Yudashkin is also not going to sit still and wait for new ideas to come to him: he heads the jury of the “Podium” project on the youth channel “Friday!”, goes to the premieres of arthouse films and even intends to open an analogue of the London Saint College in Moscow Martins - a name generator in the world of big fashion.
What we see coming out of Russian design universities is not serious. Valentin Abramovich has long been concerned about this state of affairs, says Petya. - He has been trying for about six years to create a program for young designers at the Kosygin University, where he is the chairman of the board of trustees. Now everything is at the final stage, and I hope that in two years the first course will appear. They will invite foreign specialists and retrain ours so that they are well versed in new technologies and can easily find work not only in Russia, but also abroad.
At just three years old, Tolya speaks three languages. “I communicate with children exclusively in English, Galya - in Russian. And recently my son started learning Spanish. It has been proven that bilingual children have a more plastic brain and better assimilate any information,” notes Peter
Not only the head of the Fashion House, but also his heirs have grandiose plans. This year, Galya plans to launch a second beauty salon, develop the Yudashkin Kids brand and enter the American market with it.
Maybe we should open a laundry?
