This beauty needs no introduction. Former model agency "Red Stars", with which she collaborated for ten years, the face of "Givenchy" and "Tiffany", model Valentina YUDASHKINA... Today Ekaterina POLYANSKAYA - famous designer, owner of the Feeric company. Naturally, during our interview Katya kept turning the conversation towards the latter fashion trends and a glorious modeling past. I was more interested in the period when my interlocutor was the daughter-in-law of Joseph Kobzon.

Inessa LANSKAYA

- Ekaterina, when you married Andrei Kobzon, many were probably jealous?

Don't think. This is not the kind of supermarriage that anyone would envy.

- How did your romance begin?

We met and got to know each other. Then I flew to Milan, and Andrei constantly called me - that’s how it started. I was fascinated by him: among all the dirt that surrounded me in the 90s, he was like a pearl: very kind, open. For two years we existed in civil marriage, “were homeless” (they didn’t want to live with their parents, and his apartment was being renovated). In general, in the beginning it was difficult time, almost starved. They came to dine with their people.

- Did Joseph Davydovich really not help you?

At that time, Andrei positioned himself in such a way that he was separate from the family. He had a very specific relationship with his dad. At first I didn’t even feel that the Kobzons had anything to do with us. Although I knew everyone and communicated. Thank God, then Andrei made peace with his father.

- Joseph Kobzon did not object to the fact that his son chose a Russian girl as his wife, and not a Jewish one?

Andrey himself is not a Jew in the generally accepted sense. He was raised by a Russian pious woman - his nanny. She baptized him in the Orthodox faith, secretly from everyone. Andrey has a lot of Russian spirit. His sister Natasha is a real Jew. It all depends on upbringing.

- So, you didn’t celebrate your wedding according to Jewish tradition?

It was a Russian wedding. We checked at the Metropol. Joseph Davydovich gave me some kind of ring. I have had Nice dress from Yudashkin, and this is the only bright memory of this day, which reminded nightmare. About a thousand people kissed me, after which I came down with the flu for two weeks. Of course, I wanted to marry Andrei - I was in a very precarious position, we converged and diverged. I wanted to strengthen the relationship.

There was no love

- Why did you return it during the divorce? maiden name- Polyanskaya?

I became Kobzon when I became pregnant (by that time Andrey and I had been together for five years), for the sake of the children. But to live under such famous surname complicated - raises many questions.

- Reason for divorce - love left?

Was she there at all? We were connected by friendship, which is why we stayed together for so long - eight years. Andrei is fixated on himself, he allowed himself to be loved rather than loved himself. And I was always ready to support, listen, help. But over time I began to understand that this was not enough for me. Life passes, but there is no feeling of happiness: I was truly happy only twice - at the birth of children. At first, the thought that I was respected as a person helped me to hold on. Well, when I realized that this was not the case, I realized that nothing was holding us back at all.

- Your mother didn’t ask you to wait with the divorce?

She begged me to wait for the sake of the children and cried. And now he says everything is for the better. Andrei and I decided to divorce within a year. It was during that period that I realized that children should be born out of wedlock - there will be no problems later. Andrei threatened to take my daughters away from me, and I replied: “Take them.” Just what are you going to do with them? You need to feed them, take them for walks, put them to bed.”

- Do you allow your husband to see your daughters?

After the divorce, the girls see him more often than when we lived together. He loves them very much. Five-year-old Anita took after their breed: she is white, but very curly - the spitting image of Andrei's mother. Polina, she’s seven, is my copy.

- Tell me, why did you give birth in Israel? Grandfather Joseph Davydovich insisted?

This country has the best medicine in the world. Plus, children born in Israel automatically receive a second citizenship and all the benefits due. My husband and I recognized ourselves as Jews according to our documents, accepted second citizenship and went to give birth.

I won’t leave with Dima

- I heard your new lover - famous football player capital Dynamo Dmitry Bulykin?

Yes, this is my boyfriend.

- Did you start dating while you were still married?

Of course not. I don’t accept cheating and until I end one relationship, I don’t start another. Dima and I met at one event and at first we were just friends: I had a family, he had a girlfriend. There was not even a hint of something more. Then he dated my friend for some time. And when I broke up with my husband, Dima and I somehow got along right away. It’s as if two halves have found each other.

- Why don’t you formalize the relationship?

I do not need it. An official marriage is important only in the case when one of the spouses dies; in others, it gives nothing.

- There are always a lot of young fans hanging around Bulykin. Aren't you afraid of competition?

Before me, he lived with the same girl for quite a long time. Now there are no reasons for jealousy yet. And in the future... I don’t know. After all, Dima is six years younger than me.

- How does he treat your daughters?

For a long time he did not want to meet them, he avoided them. And when I decided that everything was serious with us, I made contact with the girls. They love him madly. My daughters now live in the country with my parents - I built this house myself, with my earnings. Andrey did not want to deal with this. Well, when Dima and I finish renovating the apartment, we will move the girls to us.

- If Bulykin is offered a contract, will you go abroad with him?

He was planning to leave two years ago, but in the end he chose a contract in Russia. Now I understand that it’s because of me. As a result, he currently has big problems. If he decides to leave, I will come to him. But my life and my children’s are connected with Russia.

- There is a luxury Hummer at your entrance. Your car?

Andrei gave it to me for my birthday. I once said that I saw the car of my dreams, and my beloved gave me a surprise. Then it turned out that with such a car you need to have category C, you had to take an exam. But traffic cops rarely stop my car - there are few such models in Moscow.

Katya about her career in the fashion world:

I worked as a model for about ten years. I came into this business in the early 90s completely by accident. Previously, scouters walked around Moscow, looking for girls for modeling agencies. One young man literally stalked me and approached me several times with an offer. As a result, it simply became inconvenient for me to refuse again and I came to the Alexander Borodulin Fashion House, co-owned by the famous Petya Listerman. This was almost the only office that supplied girls to the West, to good French and Italian agencies. But in Russia, as I later realized, it was a pimping enterprise.

A popular singer during the years of the USSR, public figure, deputy and first deputy for culture of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, as well as a teacher, Joseph Kobzon was born in 1937 in the city of Chasov Yar, Donetsk region.

Since 1964, he has released almost seventy compositions and starred in fourteen films. It has a large number of orders and medals awarded not only in the USSR or Russia, but also in other countries. Winner of various awards in various fields of activity.

Personal life

He was married three times, the first time in 1965 to Veronica Kruglova, the marriage lasted only two years. He married Lyudmila Gurchenko for the second time, this marriage also did not last long (1967-1970). He married for the third time in 1971 to Ninel Drizina.

There is a son Andrey born in 1974 and a daughter Natalya born in 1976, two grandchildren and five granddaughters.

House of Joseph Kobzon

According to the income statement for 2015, in the possession of the deputy and public figure: five apartments, five plots of land and three residential premises. The mansions are located in the forest zone of the village "Bakovka", which is part of the "Old Peredelkino" zone. Everyone lives on one huge territory with 24-hour security. big family Kobzon.

Joseph Davydovich purchased the first plot of land of eighty-four acres with a dacha built on it here in 1978 for 70 thousand rubles. It's pretty large sum at that time, which the singer had to give to friends and colleagues for more than three years. Previously, Marshal Rybalko and Academician Lopukhin lived here.

Over time, he rebuilt the old dacha, bought some more land nearby and gradually built a house for his son and daughter. Just recently I purchased another plot of 21 acres across the street. There he plans to build a modern sports town with a court and playground.

Today there is already a small children’s playground on the territory, but apparently this area is no longer enough for a growing family.

In the common green area, along with residential mansions, there are outbuildings, children's corner, there is a flower garden and a small vegetable garden with its own vegetables and herbs.

All paths are paved with natural stone and paving slabs. Between the trees there are benches and decorative sculptures: cows, horses and little men.

Two-story mansion in yellow color located in the middle of the site, and next to it are two-story children's houses. There is also a special pavilion built for various family events.

Once inside, you realize that the surroundings are rich in the style of party leaders of the USSR with notes of wealthy boyars. Everything is done with high quality and without obsessive pathos.

The kitchen-dining room is very large and bright. You can immediately see where the grandchildren and the owners of the estate themselves gather. Ninel Mikhailovna considers breakfast one of the most important meals and treats her husband and grandchildren to a hot breakfast and fresh fruit every day.

In the living room there are a few pieces of furniture from valuable wood, and paintings by famous artists are hung on the walls. For some of which people still call the owner and offer fabulous money.

In the basement there is one of the most significant collections - the armory. It contains a huge number of guns, sabers and swords. Mostly all these were gifts from friends and admirers of Joseph’s work, but he acquired some himself. So Budyonny’s own saber was brought from Armenia; he spotted it in one of the antique stores and added it to his collection.

In addition to weapons, porcelain and paintings, the owner of this magnificent estate has a collection of original lighters. He began collecting it on a bet with Vysotsky, competing in the number of exhibits, but now he has abandoned this activity and the collected specimens are gathering dust on the shelves, just like the beer mugs he collected in his youth.

Experts from Express Gazeta, who visited this estate several years ago, valued it at 260 million rubles. According to CIAN, one cottage in the village of Bakovka with an area of ​​300 square meters. meters can be bought for 39 million rubles.

There were three marriages, he only had two children. Both children are from last wife the famous artist Drizina Nineli Mikhailovna. The eldest son was named Andrei. He was born in 1974. In his numerous interviews, Kobzon repeatedly said that he had difficult relationships with children in their at a young age. The difficulties were associated with the artist’s complex and intense touring schedule. There is a known case when the singer found five diaries of his son at once, full of twos and threes. Unable to bear it, Joseph flared up and told Andrei that he forbids putting his name on such school notebooks. This led to a protracted conflict.

A well-known fact is that neither the daughter nor the son of the artist wanted to follow in the footsteps of their illustrious parent. Despite the fact that Andrei was fond of music in the past, it never became his life’s work. Rather, it was a light hobby. At one time, he was a drummer in the group “Resurrection”, performing with Andrei Sapunov and Alexei Romanov (musicians of this group). This was followed by short work in Moral code. Despite all this, Andrei graduated from the Music Institute in Hollywood; in those years, his father hoped to instill in his son a love of music. However, this did not happen, and Andrey was much more attracted to the world of business. He became the head of the Giusto nightclub.

He tries to spend all the time he has from work with his beloved children.
