How many children does Ekaterina Peskovaya have? “You evoke polar emotions - from delight to hatred”: Lisa Peskova’s mother congratulated her on her birthday

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, ex-wife Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of Vladimir Putin, was born in 1976, in the family of a diplomat.

This woman belongs to the category of those who were lucky from birth. Since childhood, Ekaterina Solotsinskaya never had to think about fighting for status and earning a reputation through bitter tears and hard work. She was born into the family of a diplomat, and the roots of her family go back centuries to the noble family of Schlegel. The daughter of the Turkish ambassador had a high status from the first days of her life, which she repeatedly mentioned in interviews. However, Ekaterina Solotsinskaya does not boast of this status, but rather uses it as one of the reasons for her position in life.

From girl to wife

It is worth noting that Catherine was brought up not just in the family of a diplomat, but in an intelligent family of a diplomat. Ekaterina Solotsinskaya claims that all her relatives were educated at Moscow state institute international relations. In addition, a representative of a noble family was not isolated from society, which means she received comprehensive development.

It is also worth noting that Ekaterina Solotsinskaya managed to meet her husband Dmitry in quite early age precisely because her father worked for the good of the country in the embassy.

When Katya turned 14, Dmitry Peskov, a graduate of the Institute of Asian and African Countries, arrived at the embassy to work.

By recognition Solotsinskaya, love overtook her immediately at 14 - Peskov was 23, his first wife was then giving birth. The husband deprived Catherine of her virginity, after which he declared: “No matter what happens, let’s swear to each other to be honest.”

Solotsinsky Sr. then worked as the head of the 4th and 3rd Asian Departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the year of the wedding, Peskov Jr. was transferred to the 3rd Department of Asia, where he took the position of first and then second secretary.

Catherine’s husband, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, comes from a secret family. Official life path his late father is stated in the documents of the Russian Foreign Ministry extremely succinctly. Sergei Peskov was born in 1948, graduated from the Institute of Asian and African Studies at Moscow State University in 1972, and in 1987 he wanted to enter the diplomatic service. Despite his age, he found himself in high positions in central office Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was Ambassador to Pakistan and the Sultanate of Oman.

In what institutions Peskov Sr. served the Motherland until he was 39 years old remains a mystery. A similar style is typical for most biographies of KGB foreign intelligence officers who worked under diplomatic cover.

Dmitry Peskov joined the press service of the Presidential Administration almost simultaneously with Vladimir Putin’s move to the Kremlin. Before that, the son of Sergei Peskov was also listed as a diplomat, but colleagues, acquaintances and members of the presidential journalistic pool persistently suspected young man a native of the state security agencies.

Dmitry Peskov's first marriage was to Anastasia Budyonny, the granddaughter of Marshal Semyon Budyonny and the daughter of a high-ranking Ministry official foreign trade Mikhail Budyonny, concurrently the president of the Russian Equestrian Federation.

His wife was the same age as Peskov; in 1990, their son Nikolai was born.

And at this time Dmitry just happened fateful meeting with Ekaterina.

After the wedding with young Katenka, for some reason, difficult times suddenly came for the newlyweds.

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, without any embarrassment, says that while the friends of the newlyweds were building their own businesses, Peskov and his student wife were forced to work at night as private cab drivers, depriving themselves of the pleasure of having any kind of entertainment. Dmitry and Ekaterina earned 35 rubles per night in order to be able to somehow stay afloat during this difficult time.

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya. Everyday life of a diplomat's wife

Upon completion of studies at the Department of Philology of Moscow state university Catherine returns to Turkey. However, she returns as the wife of a diplomat, and not as the daughter of an ambassador. This event became the starting point in the harsh everyday life of our heroine, which was not as joyful as it might seem to an ordinary person. It is worth noting that Ekaterina Solotsinskaya was not flattered to spend her days and evenings languidly waiting for her husband, who, due to his busy work schedule, could not often be at home.
The young wife missed warmth, joint evenings when the whole family got together, and children's parties. As Ekaterina says, she did not get married in order to gain status, but in order to enjoy watching her children grow up with her husband in a cozy family atmosphere.

Return to Moscow

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya managed to return to Moscow. This happened after the diplomat’s wife worked in Ankara for 10 years, teaching Russian. Upon their return, the family purchases a house on Rublyovka, striking in its luxury, as well as a business and an expensive car, but as an addition to wealth and its indicators. At that time, the Peskovs were raising three children - daughter Elizaveta and two sons - Mick and Denis.

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya did not sit idle in the capital. Together with her friend Lena, the woman opens a beauty salon called “Kale”.

Rublevsky everyday life

Ekaterina Solotsinskaya was not too happy living on Rublyovka. Firstly, there is an urgent need to attend a huge number of parties and similar events. The diplomat's ex-wife says that invitations to the Ruble training camp came in batches. It was inconvenient to refuse, but I also didn’t want to leave the children with my mother. In addition, life on Rublyovka also affected Catherine’s character.
The woman has become a lady without empathy, unapologetic, domineering and difficult. At some point, the woman’s mother could not stand it and reproached her daughter for the fact that after the move it became almost impossible to communicate with her normally. However, this didn't last too long.

The marriage of Catherine and Dmitry lasted 18 years, until 2012.

The media note that Ekaterina Solotsinskaya herself initiated the divorce from her husband. The reason for the divorce was the diplomat's betrayal. The woman learned that her action - to devote her life to her husband entirely and completely - was not accepted and appreciated by her husband. Unable to bear this, Catherine could not forgive her husband and insisted on a divorce.

Rebirth from the Ashes

After the divorce, Catherine did not forget that she had to live, no matter what. That is why the woman continues to be famous and purposeful. Today, she is known not because of her husband’s fame, but because of her own achievements.

Catherine decided to do charity work. In addition, her energy is enough to live in two houses, one of which is in France. The main reason for this is children - Elizabeth, eldest daughter Catherine, receives an education at MGIMO, continuing family tradition mother's family, sons are also in Moscow. Ekaterina spends most of the week in the capital of Russia in order not to lose the thread of communication with the children and not to disappear from their lives.

She spends her weekends in Paris in the company of her new, and this time real, friends.

Therapy with France

After Ekaterina moved to the “ex” category for Dmitry Peskov, she moved to France. Today she lives in a luxurious apartment, the windows of which allow you to see the Bois de Boulogne and the famous Champs Elysees. In this country, Catherine unexpectedly became close to the fourth generation of Russian emigrants, among whom are descendants of such famous families as the Obolenskys, Uvarovs and Trubetskoys. Communication with the intelligent and noble descendants of Russian nobles awakened in Solotsinskaya a desire to restore her title - Countess Schlegel. The woman herself repeatedly joked about the sound title of nobility, declaring that it is not bad. Catherine found the strength and desire to become a member of the Franco-Russian Dialogue. The French side in it is supervised by Prince Trubetskoy, and the Russian side is supervised by Vladimir Yakunin.

Learning from your own mistakes

Life as the wife of a famous diplomat and rotation in the hell of Rublyovka among the same famous wives and their idols allowed Catherine to learn several useful lessons for herself. Thanks to Rublev etiquette, when you are interesting only when you have status, the woman firmly decided to start life in France with clean slate. And, having moved to Paris, she introduced herself to everyone she met quite simply and ordinaryly - “Katya from Moscow, I don’t do anything”. Despite this, Catherine’s entourage very quickly began to consist of poets, descendants of Russian nobles, who, unlike Rublev’s “friends”, were not interested in her status, but in that rich inner world and the intelligence that Solotsinskaya is endowed with. In today's interviews, a woman boldly declares that France is the place where you can regenerate your soul the best way and inhale full breasts again. As Ekaterina says, France is a country where people start living after forty. And if a woman from Russia was run over by the asphalt paver of fate, then Paris will become the most valuable and most effective medicine for mental wounds.

Hi all. Today I’ll tell you a story about one of our old and vile acquaintances.

I honestly thought that it was already impossible to dig up anything new about him. It seemed like we had already flayed him - we wrote about watches worth 37 million, and about yachts, and about houses, and about his unemployed millionaire son.

Of course, you already guessed who I mean. About Putin's permanent press secretary Peskov.

In response to our past revelations, be it watches, be it yachts or houses that the official cannot afford, Peskov invented brilliant formula.

“NAVKA GAVE IT.” That is, the wife gave everything, and he is an unfortunate kept official.

This “NAVKA DARILA” became a powerful antidote and a strong shield against the attacks of FBK. Universal explanation. An invisibility cloak that can be used to cover corruptly acquired assets and pretend that everything is fine.

But we can't just give up, can we? It is impossible to allow us to be fooled for years with your fables about a fabulously rich and generous wife. We at FBK thought for a long time and came up with a way to break this Peskov formula. You just need to find something very expensive that Navka DEFINITELY couldn’t give as a gift.

And we found it. In Paris.

It was in Paris that Peskov’s ex-wife Ekaterina Solotsinskaya bought an apartment for almost 2 million euros. Ekaterina is a newly minted official who works at Rossotrudnichestvo. He definitely can’t afford such an apartment. And there is an apartment. But from where? Really...?

OK. Watch the video. And for those who like to read, below is a sparkling text and a bunch of beautiful pictures.

I'm sure most readers already remember the chronology mortal combat FBK with Peskov. Nevertheless, let's refresh it and, as they say, put it on the record.

Dmitry Sergeevich Peskov is a world-famous politician. It is clear that people are showing significant interest in him and his personal life. After the sensational scandal with the watch of the press secretary of the presidential administration and magnificent wedding with Tatyana Navka, who wrested her fiancé from the mother of three children, interest in Peskov’s personality increased even more.

In the article we will introduce readers more closely to his very first wife Anastasia Budenna. After all, he didn’t live with her long. However, the couple managed to have a common child, who Lately began to appear in media mass media more often.

Wife's choice

Dmitry Peskov does not come from an ordinary family. Since childhood, he studied in prestigious specialized schools, studied languages ​​and traveled a lot around different countries peace. Naturally, he was not looking for a wife among ordinary people, but with a big name. The granddaughter of Semyon Budyonny was quite suitable for this purpose. Let us remind young readers who Budyonny is and why he is so famous.

Semyon Mikhailovich was one of the most famous military leaders, commanded a cavalry army and became almost the first marshal of the country. He showed himself in the years Civil War. Many films have been made about this glorious hero and his Budenovites. The wartime cap was also called budenovka. Semyon Mikhailovich was also advertised through propaganda programs on radio and television. He was truly folk hero and had a pretty big name.

Of course, young Dmitry could not pass by such a prominent girl. Moreover, knowing his character and disposition, it is quite understandable why he paid attention to Anastasia Budennaya. They write on the Internet that she was still that “Budennaya”. The girl had a fighting character, matching her famous grandfather.

Anastasia's parents

Anastasia Budennaya's father was youngest son legendary commander. Mikhail Budyonny himself also held a good position in the country and worked as a high-ranking functionary of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. He was also the president of the Russian Equestrian Federation.

Nastya's mother Inesa Volkova married Mikhail in 1967. A year later they had a girl. They did not live together for long: after five years they quarreled and separated, since Mikhail liked to hang out on the side. In the end, he left for another woman forever. Inesa Sergeevna raised Nastya herself as best she could. Since childhood, the girl’s character was difficult: she always considered herself independent and did whatever she wanted. Although she received a good education and worked as a translator at Intourist. IN Soviet time it was prestigious.

Life of the young

Soon Anastasia Budennaya met a young Foreign Ministry employee, Dmitry Peskov, and already in 1988 the couple got married. Two years later, the newlyweds had a son, who was named Nikolai. By that time, Dmitry Peskov graduated from the IISA Institute, where he specialized in Asian and African countries. Then he is sent to work at the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Naturally, the son’s high position in his father’s country helped him in the distribution. Everyone, of course, understands that it is difficult for a simple, even the most intelligent specialist, to get into the highest echelons of power. And our hero’s father was a famous diplomat who worked in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa.

In 1990, when Anastasia Budennaya and Dmitry Peskov have a son, a young Ministry employee receives a new position. He is appointed secretary to the attache and assistant. He then worked at the Turkish Embassy, ​​as he was fluent in Turkish.

Divorce in the family

Disagreements in the family occurred constantly, since Anastasia Budennaya did not possess the qualities of a calm and submissive wife. She loved noisy parties with loud screams and singing drinking songs with a guitar. At first, Dmitry really liked such a cheerful wife, but the young man grew up in the family of a high official... In addition, he often had to visit eastern countries, where the role of women is quite modest.

Particularly acute was the question of the wife’s behavior while working at the embassy in Turkey, which, although considered European country, but traditionally women there behave modestly. Granddaughter Anastasia Budennaya has always had an independent and unbridled character. She was not created to be a quiet kitchen mistress and a calm custodian. hearth and home. She couldn't understand why she needed to behave differently in Turkey.

Therefore, constant conflicts between spouses led to a break. Peskov was ashamed of his wife’s behavior. He wanted his couple to be an example of an ideal family. Judging by the stories of Nastya herself, they were constantly under surveillance. After all, her husband held a high position abroad, and she did not like being limited in some way. Therefore, already in 1994, the couple officially separated. Nastya took her son Nikolai with her.

Life in England

The stormy life of Peskov's first wife Anastasia Budenna continued further. After a divorce, a girl and a child move to permanent place residence in England. She always dreamed of living abroad. And now, having received freedom, he decides to move.

Having settled in the small town of Crawley in the south-eastern part of England, she soon marries an English businessman, who gives his surname to her son Nicholas. But the peaceful life of the Choles family did not last long. Soon the couple also separated. It is not known exactly how many times Nastya met and separated from her husbands.

Officially, she was once again married to Christopher Drake, to whom she bore children. In total, Nastya, besides Nikolai, gave birth to five children from English spouses. The woman also had a difficult relationship with Christopher. It is known that they often quarreled. There is even information that Nastya wrote a statement to the police department against her husband about beating during scandals: he often kicked his wife out of the apartment, throwing her things out the window.

Loss of housing

It is also known that in 2011, the personal life of Anastasia Budenna finally cracked, and the woman left with her younger children for Turkey to live with her father. After staying there for some time, she returns to Crawley, but Christopher Drake does not let her home. As a result, she is forced to temporarily live with compassionate neighbors. Anastasia repeatedly contacted the police and municipal service with a request to provide her with housing, complaining about her husband.

However, the authorities did not find Christopher guilty; on the contrary, they accused Nastya of inappropriate behavior. The woman refused the proposed social housing, deciding to return to Moscow to her apartment on But it was not to be... Let's continue the story about Nastya a little later. Now we will tell the reader about Peskov’s son Nikolai Choles.

Hooliganism in England

Numerous children of Anastasia Budenna lived with her in England. The eldest son Nikolai was not distinguished by good behavior. There is information that the guy did not receive any education and sometimes lived in banditry, taking money and phones from passers-by. For this, he was detained by the police several times. As a result, he was convicted.

After serving several months in an English prison, the young man decided not to play with fate any longer, but to return to his famous and rich father in Russia. After arriving home in 2010, the guy moved in with his grandmother.

In 2012, after serving in missile forces, Nikolai, not without the participation of his father, begins his career working as a sports correspondent for Russia Today. Nikolai got an expensive car and money for a vacation abroad. Dmitry Peskov never offended his many children from different wives, helping them financially.

Relationship with grandmother

Living with his grandmother in a social four-room apartment, issued by the state for the use of an outstanding commander, Nikolai forces his grandmother to privatize it. Together, they file a lawsuit, completely limiting access to housing for the unlucky mother. Since Anastasia Budennaya, whose biography we describe in the article, still had a USSR passport (she did not exchange it for a new Russian one), she was not able to start decorating the apartment in time. The grandson (along with his grandmother) proved in court that he had not seen his mother since she was 16 years old, she had never come from England to Russia, and had not paid rent for all these years.

Therefore, the court decided to discharge her. Thus, Nastya was left without housing in Moscow. And grandma, apparently, really likes to use alcoholic drinks. Once she even wrote a statement against Nikolai about the beatings to the police. But the grandson explained that the conflict was caused alcohol intoxication an old lady who likes to go wild when she drinks.

Relationship with father

Dmitry Peskov treats all children well and, based on their capabilities and efforts, gives them a start to a good life. Since Nikolai's mother last years of her existence did not show any interest in the life of one of her many offspring (she led a very active personal life), then the son’s desire to live near his father is completely justified. Moreover, the father is not just anyone, but Peskov himself.

It is also known from various sources that Nikolai, the son of Dmitry Sergeevich’s first wife, is in friendly relations with his brothers and sisters. Thus, you can often find photographs of a father spending time together with his children in various publications.

In the photo, Nikolai and his father are relaxing on the river with his younger sister, daughter of Peskov’s second wife, Lisa. Her mother gave birth to Dmitry Sergeevich three children and now, after a divorce, lives in Paris.

Few people know what Anastasia Budennaya is doing now. Unfortunately, she died. The causes of death are unknown. But knowing a woman’s lifestyle, one can only guess about them.

Family and connections

According to a source of the BBC Russian Service close to diplomatic circles, the decision to dismiss Solotsinskaya was made by the head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Eleonora Mitrofanova. The BBC's interlocutor claims that Solotsinskaya tried to the last to challenge the claims of the management of Rossotrudnichestvo and retain her position.

So, she turned to Mitrofanova and said that she “comes from a family of diplomats the highest level", It has good connections V government agencies and can count on the support of her friend, “one of the presidential candidates” (the only female candidate in the Russian presidential elections is TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak).

In addition, in her address, Solotsinskaya indicated that she has personal agreements with the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, to promote Russian culture abroad.

"There are civil service rules. She provided inaccurate information about her property affairs. I don’t think this was done out of malice, but perhaps she didn’t take it as seriously as possible, because she had no experience in the civil service," he told the BBC representative of Rossotrudnichestvo.

Mitrofanova herself was unavailable for comment. Solotsinskaya, in response to a call from the BBC, said that she “may leave her post” and refused further comments, citing the fact that she was at the airport.
