Zhanna Nemtsova - personal life, family, children, photo

The eldest daughter of Boris Nemtsov and the presenter of the RBC TV channel Zhanna Nemtsova does not like to advertise her personal life, and she is not very interested in social life. In 2007, Zhanna Borisovna married bank manager Dmitry Stepanov, her husband was 15 years older than the girl. At one time, Dmitry Stepanov was vice president of Petrocommerce Bank. The acquaintance took place with the participation of Zhanna’s mother, Raisa Akhmetovna.

Interestingly, as a wedding gift, Zhanna’s parents gave shares of an investment fund worth 260 thousand rubles. Dmitry Stepanov and Zhanna Nemtsova worked together in a successful family business - Mercury Capital Trust ("Mercury Capital Trust"), the company is engaged in the trust management of client funds in the stock market and venture investments. However, in 2011, the family broke up and Stepanov legally evicted the TV presenter and her mother from his apartment. The reasons for the divorce are unknown. Zhanna Nemtsova currently has no children.
Zhanna Borisovna's hobbies include windsurfing, reading classical literature, and fine arts. In one of the interviews, the daughter of the late politician said that in her personal life a simple “element of luck” matters, but for now she feels great in the role of a free woman. According to information from the RBC TV channel, Zhanna Nemtsova left Russia in June 2015 and is currently in Germany, Upper Bavaria, where she has already met with Alfred Koch and posted this information on the social network.

From the life of Zhanna and Masha

Mikhail Tulsky

A whole galaxy of daughters of famous Russian politicians are running for elections to the Moscow City Duma - Elena Lukyanova (nominated from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the Central District), Maria Gaidar (second place on the SPS list), Zhanna Nemtsova (SPS candidate in the Sheremetyevo District). There are also those whose relationship is not very recognizable by their last name: Inna Svyatenko (the most likely winner in the Central District) is the daughter of United Russia General Yuri Rodionov.

However, Masha and Zhanna have significant differences from 47-year-old Elena Lukyanova and 37-year-old Inna Svyatenko. Masha Gaidar was born on October 21, 1982, and Zhanna Nemtsova was born on March 26, 1984! That is, the current elections are the first in which girls have the right to participate, because according to the law, such a right appears upon reaching 21 years of age.

Masha took the surname Gaidar only in 2004. “Until now, in all official biographies of Yegor Gaidar, there are no daughters in the “Children” column”

As Masha Gaidar told the newspaper VZGLYAD, she was offered to join the top three of the Union of Right Forces not only by Chubais’ right hand Leonid Gozman (member of the board of RAO UES), but also by Belykh and Nadezhdin. They, in turn, declare that the implementation of the “party renewal strategy” is the nomination of 21-22 year olds. According to Masha, she is being offered second place, but she has not yet decided whether she should take part in the elections.

Masha Gaidar is now the most famous offspring of Yegor Gaidar, but it was her fate that was the most dramatic of all the children of Yegor Timurovich. The fact is that until now in all official biographies of Yegor Gaidar, three sons are listed in the “Children” column - Peter from his first marriage and Ivan and Pavel from his second - and... no daughters! Moreover, upon closer examination, it turns out that the “first son from his second marriage” is called Ivan Vladimirovich Strugatsky and he is not Gaidar’s own, but was only adopted by him in the late 1980s, after his marriage to Maria Strugatskaya.

Yegor Gaidar entered into his first marriage with Irina Smirnova, when the future prime minister was barely 22 years old and had not yet completed his 5th year at Moscow State University. “I'm not a loving person. I didn’t have numerous novels. I met my wife when we were 10 years old. This happened in the village of Dunino, where my grandmother rented two rooms, and her grandmother rented two rooms. I married very early, to a girl I knew very well. But then our family didn’t work out, and soon I married my current wife,” says Yegor Gaidar.

However, he always kept silent about the fact that after his son Petya was born in 1979, his daughter Masha was born in 1982. Then the couple already began to think about divorce. Grandfather and grandmother could not imagine parting with Petya, so they begged Irina to let the boy live in their house. So Peter, even after Yegor Gaidar’s marriage to Maria Strugatskaya, remained his own son, and three-year-old Masha, who lived after her divorce from her mother, seemed to disappear from among Yegor Timurovich’s children.

Then Masha’s fate took an even more unusual turn. At the very beginning of her studies in the 3rd grade, in the fall of 1991, she suddenly went to live in Bolivia with her mother, a doctor, and her stepfather, an artist: for 5 years she lived in the capital of La Paz and in the third most populous city with a “typically Bolivian name” - according to in the words of Masha herself - Cochabamba.

“We lived normally in Bolivia. Until I was 8 years old, I bore the last name Gaidar, but right before moving to Bolivia I changed it to my mother’s - Smirnova. There I went to a Bolivian school and also studied at our embassy. When we returned to Russia, I went to the 8th grade at Spanish special school No. 1252, on Sokol.

After graduating from school in 2000, I entered the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation at the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences - my older brother Peter studied there and advised me - this year I graduated with honors, although I graduated from school with two B's - Russian language and life safety, it seems,” Masha Gaidar told the VZGLYAD newspaper, omitting the topic of the influence of Yegor Timurovich himself, with whom she resumed contacts “in 1997,” on her admission and successful studies. Now Masha is entering graduate school at the Institute for the Economy in Transition, whose director is Yegor Gaidar.

Yegor Gaidar officially recognized his daughter only at the beginning of 2004 - it was then that Masha changed her last name from Smirnova to Gaidar, and then she went to work at the Institute for the Economy in Transition. And now Gaidar’s associates have nominated his daughter as a deputy.

At the age of 18, Zhanna Nemtsova took possession of a 186-meter apartment in Moscow

Zhanna Nemtsova

The nomination of Boris Nemtsov’s daughter Zhanna from the Union of Rightist Forces was also scandalous. Many in the Union of Right Forces hoped that after her July holiday in Portugal she would return and change her mind. But Zhanna not only did not refuse nomination in the Moscow single-mandate constituency, but she also managed, in addition to nomination from the Union of Right Forces, to also acquire the support of Yabloko. However, she became a Muscovite not so long ago. All her life Zhanna Nemtsova was registered in Nizhny Novgorod and, finishing seventh grade in the spring of 1997, she said that she would stay to live there because she did not like Moscow.

However, in the summer of 1997, her father enrolled her in Moscow Lyceum No. 1239 (formerly School No. 20), where Vanya Potanin, Nadya Mikhalkova, and the granddaughters of Mikhail Gorbachev and Viktor Chernomyrdin studied. “In eighth grade I moved to Moscow. And naturally, I was assigned to the most elite school in Moscow No. 20. I studied there for one quarter,” recalls Zhanna. Let us note that Zhanna had to get into this school at her place of residence - the lyceum is located across the road from Boris Nemtsov’s residence.

She was always drawn to her homeland: the girl ran away to Nizhny several times, Nemtsov’s personal guard had to look for her - most often the search turned out to be easy, and she was found with her grandmother Dina Yakovlevna, Nemtsov’s mother. And she continued her studies in the 8th grade at her Nizhny Novgorod Lyceum No. 8. True, the next year her dad finally forced her to finally move to Moscow, but she went to study at simple school No. 312 on Chistye Prudy, which she chose because the director there is a man there (men are smarter than women, Zhanna believes).

“I’ll return to Nizhny and go to college,” she dreamed back at the end of 1999. However, after graduating from school in the summer of 2001, Zhanna’s father sent her to one of the American universities. On September 11, she was in New York and donated 300 grams of her rare blood (group I, Rh negative) to the Americans. True, the American students did not appreciate the noble deed: they baited her with the topic that either Russia supports Islamic terrorists, or Nemtsov - Chechen militants. Zhanna had to return to Russia, where she immediately managed to transfer to the 1st year of the Faculty of International Economics at MGIMO without exams.

All these years she was registered in Nizhny, apparently, she was going to return there. Only on March 21, 2002, Zhanna received a new passport with Moscow registration. And on July 22, 2002, through the efforts of Boris Nemtsov (then the leader of the SPS faction), an apartment was registered as the property of his daughter, which previously belonged to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation (a record of this appears in the database of the Moscow BTI).

This apartment of Zhanna Nemtsova not only has an area of ​​186 square meters. meters, but is also located in the most prestigious place in Moscow - in the house on Sadovo-Kudrinskaya, 19, building 1. The families of Sergei Yastrzhembsky, Alexander Pochinok, Oleg Sysuev, judge of the Constitutional Court Marat Baglay, minister Ilya Yuzhanov, former deputy ministers Grigory live in the same house Karasin and Dmitry Mezentsev, etc. According to our sources in the Union of Right Forces, Zhanna still lives in this apartment with her mother Raisa Akhmetovna.

It is not true that nature rests on the children of famous people. On the contrary, her efforts, often supported by good parental capital, sometimes yield quite decent results. A good education, numerous travels, communication with a wide range of people - all this cannot but affect the worldview of a young individual, who either confidently follows in the footsteps of her father and mother, or discovers her own considerable talents, for example, in business.

The daughter of the famous politician Boris Nemtsov can no longer be called young, but she honestly earned her fame. 30-year-old Zhanna managed to be married, learn two foreign languages ​​(English and Portuguese), and become an important person in the stock market.

Although the girl once dreamed of opening her own pastry shop, the realities of life turned her interests in a slightly different direction. Zhanna got a taste of her own earnings when, at the age of 14, she got a job at the radio station “Echo of Moscow” as an assistant to the presenters, after which she promoted her father’s website, working in the Duma “Union of Right Forces”. And in 2007, having already received a MGIMO education (management), she took the strange post of “vice president for client relations” in one of the companies working with securities (Mercury Capital Trust). By the way, she organized the company together with her husband Dmitry Stepanov. True, unlike a thriving business, their marriage was not very successful. It lasted only 4 years (from 2007 to 2011) and ended with a trial that resolved the issue of Nemtsova’s forced eviction from her ex-husband’s apartment.

Ex-wife Zhanna left her job at the company. Extensive knowledge in the financial sector allowed her to appear on television: first as a guest, and then as the host of a program on the RBC-TV channel called “Markets”. Let's make a reservation - Nemtsova started working on television while she was still married, and completely went into it after the divorce. Since 2012, she has been in charge of “Financial News”, “Global View” and “Finance Under Control”. Thus, today Zhanna Nemtsova is also known as a successful journalist.

As for Nemtsova’s socio-political views, they may seem very unusual to some. She respects Putin, considering him a strong personality, and especially admires his excellent physical shape. He considers Islam to be the most progressive religion and tries to follow its principles in business - as you know, this religion prohibits usury and calls for wise management of your funds. The journalist admits that she shares many provisions of Islam, although she does not go to the mosque. In her opinion, it is completely compatible with the democratic values ​​of modern society, and therefore very promising. For example, she sees official polygamy as a way to improve a woman’s status and save her from loneliness in old age. However, Zhanna Nemtsova does not consider herself a Muslim, she classifies herself as a secular person, calling herself a cosmopolitan and a citizen of Russia.

Zhanna Nemtsova's ex-husband, 43-year-old financier Dmitry Stepanov, filed a lawsuit against her and her mother, Boris Nemtsov's first wife, Raisa, wanting to evict them from their apartment

In 2007, 23-year-old Zhanna married 38-year-old financier Dmitry Stepanov, who by this time served as vice president of Petrocommerce Bank. Shortly before the wedding, Zhanna and Dmitry began working in their own company Mercury Capital Trust - Management Company Mercury Capital Trust. Zhanna held the position of vice president for customer relations there, and Dmitry became one of the company's leaders.

By 2011, the couple separated. Zhanna Borisovna recently said that she feels great without a man by her side and that this finally became clear to her after the divorce. In 2011, she began hosting the “Markets” program on the RBC-TV channel. Stepanov currently holds the post of general director in the closed mutual investment fund Mercury Real Estate and the management company Mercury Capital Trust.

Nemtsov has two children from journalist Ekaterina Odintsova, whom he met in Nizhny Novgorod: a son, Anton, and a daughter, Dina. In addition, Nemtsov has a daughter, Sophia (2004), from his secretary Irina Koroleva.

As Marker found out, Stepanov recently went to court demanding the eviction of Zhanna Nemtsova, as well as Boris Nemtsov’s ex-wife Raisa. The lawsuit “On recognition of the loss of the right to use residential premises and deregistration” was filed on April 23 in one of the capital’s district courts. Stepanov confirmed to Marker that he wants to evict the women from his apartment, but refused to specify which one.

In a conversation with Marker, Stepanov only indicated that we are not talking about Zhanna Nemtsova’s apartment, which was registered in her name by her father in 2002. Apartment with an area of ​​186 sq. m in house No. 19 on Sadovo-Kudrinskaya Street has already been sold, the interlocutor noted.

Politician Boris Nemtsov, a father of four children, told Marker that this was the first time he had heard about the lawsuit and did not know which apartment was being discussed. He noted that his daughter divorced Dmitry Stepanov a long time ago and he does not know the reasons for the divorce. According to him, this is a family story that he was not privy to. Nemtsov may indeed not know about the lawsuit: back in 2005, Zhanna stated that she communicates with her father once every month and a half. “Sometimes he will ask about the groom: “Do you have friendship or love?” - This is my father’s favorite question. I still can’t formulate an answer to it,” said Zhanna Nemtsova.

The children of famous politicians have different fates. Ksenia Sobchak, whose father was the first governor of St. Petersburg, openly talks about herself in an interview. On the contrary, very little is known about the daughters of President Vladimir Putin; they are hiding from prying eyes abroad. Boris Nemtsov's eldest daughter Zhanna chose something in between for herself. She works as a journalist, she can be seen in the “Markets” program on the RBC-TV channel, but at the same time she tries not to advertise her personal life.

Correspondent "Ytra" I managed to talk with Zhanna Nemtsova before the IT Leader award ceremony, where she was preparing to act as a presenter. In the dressing room with her was Ekaterina Odintsova, who was her father’s common-law wife for several years and gave birth to two children from him. As it turns out, the girls get along well with each other.

“Ytro”: Zhanna, today you are acting as the host of the ceremony. Are you worried?

Zhanna Nemtsova: Not at all! Of course, I can’t say that I have much experience in conducting such events, but improvisation is easy for me. It's much more fun than reading from a piece of paper. On television I broadcast live without a prompter and am used to speaking from myself.

“Y”: Why did you decide to become an economic journalist?

J.N.: I understand this topic, despite the fact that social life does not interest me at all. And in our domestic politics, it is not entirely clear what can be covered. I love my job. I like to work at economic forums and interview interesting people.

“Y”: Does having a well-known surname help or hinder you in your work?

J.N.: I have a well-known and respected surname, but not an influential one. I can’t say that she plays any decisive role in my work and in life. In addition, not everyone knows that I am Nemtsov’s daughter, and not everyone associates me with him.

“Y”: Do you often communicate with your parents?

J.N.: I'm already an adult. Agree, at 28 years old spending time with your parents is very strange. I can’t call myself daddy’s or mummy’s daughter. I have my own life, maybe not as eventful as it might seem from the outside.

“Y”: Parents probably give some advice, teach life?

J.N.: I give my mother advice myself. It so happened that in my relationship with her I took on the role of the eldest. I usually consult with my dad on how to communicate with people, how to structure some important conversation, how to get consent to an interview. But if I want to buy something beautiful, then, most likely, I will turn to Katya Odintsova.

“Y”: How long have you been friends?

J.N.: We have never been in a conflictual relationship, we communicate in a friendly manner. Just recently we all got together to celebrate March 8th - me, Katya, my brother, sister, dad. We all enjoy communicating, but it’s still difficult to call it friendship. My friends can generally be counted on the fingers of one hand. I am not a sociable person and lead a rather secluded lifestyle, trying not to attract unnecessary attention to my person.

“Y”: Did you often communicate with your father as a child? Did he give you enough time?

J.N.: It’s better for dad to have a career than to lie on the couch in front of the TV with beer. We communicated enough: we went to the tennis court and played sports. I have no complaints against dad in this regard. I don’t think at all that you need to devote your whole life to children.

“Y”: So what is more important - career or family?

J.N.: In your personal life, much more than in your career, the element of luck is important. Probably every person at my age thinks about family. But this is such a spontaneous process that it is impossible to control it. As for work, everything is much clearer here. Although I don't consider myself an ambitious person. I don’t strive for publicity either; I don’t need my photographs to appear in magazines.

“Y”: But many people know your father as a public figure. What is he like in everyday life?

J.N.: Absolutely no different from the person everyone knows. It has a very powerful energy charge. I'm always trying to keep up with dad, forgetting about myself. This is our style of communication. He is a leader, and leaders, as a rule, require increased attention. And this doesn’t bother me at all, because he is a very interesting person.
