Who is Alina Kabaeva? Is it true that Putin and Kabaeva put on wedding rings at the same time? Novels by Alina Kabaeva
Interest in one of the most famous rhythmic gymnasts in the history of this sport has once again warmed up in Russia. Olympic champion. To a beautiful woman. In the recent past - deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. And now - a media oligarch.
Sports columnist for the Express-Gazeta publication Sergei Latynin wrote a brief history of the romantic hobbies of the head of the board of directors of the National Media Group.
In the mid-2000s of the twenty-first century, Alina Kabaeva, recognized in 2006 as the sexiest athlete in Russia, completely won the heart of a former player of the Moscow clubs Spartak and Loko, a former player of the Russian national team, Maxim Buznikin. Maxim did not hide his feelings. When he scored a goal, he publicly showed a T-shirt under a T-shirt that depicted Alina Kabaeva. And he even turned into a Spanish caballero, singing languid serenades under his beloved’s window: he released an album of songs - declarations of love for Kabaeva.
Latynin writes that Kabaeva could not resist such a passionate onslaught of the forward and reciprocated. But only for six months. The journalist writes that Kabaeva’s mentor, master of world rhythmic gymnastics, wife of one of the richest people in Russia, Irina Viner, dissuaded her ward from walking down the aisle, telling her, “Take your time, girl. You’re a high-flying bird, you can have more worthy party."
Then, as Latynin writes, Kabaeva almost became the wife of police major Shalva Museliani, a Georgian, as the journalist emphasizes, with money and connections. The major gave his beloved a blue Mercedes on their engagement day. But this story didn’t smell of romance for long. Shalva has serious problems at work. An official investigation was organized. His managers tried to understand how he used to give his bride an expensive car. Alina becomes darker than a cloud from all the interrogations. In addition, at the same moment she learns from the newspapers the truth about Museliani’s personal life. It turned out that her fiancé was legally married.
Kabaeva’s dreams vanished like morning fog. Shalva's wife is not going to remain silent. Olga gave an official interview. A woman on the pages of a major Russian publication shared her point of view in detail. She was surprised to learn about her husband’s upcoming wedding from a journalist:
The publications that Alina was getting married took me aback. I called my husband and expressed my resentment: why did he so quickly cut us, me and my daughter Nana, out of his life?!
Kabaeva pauses, “begs for mercy” from the press and refuses to comment on the love triangle. Shalvo Museliani divorced his wife. It was rumored that it was Alina who persuaded her beloved to divorce, but Museliani betrayed the athlete for the second time. When his relationship with Kabaeva began to take on a spirit of seriousness, he started a relationship on the side. Actress Anna Gorshkova, the womanizer's new passion, went out with Shalva, and gossip columns began to write about their romance.
Alina Kabaeva was furious. People close to the athlete said that she threatened Gorshkova to destroy her film career. This story is covered with a “veil of rumors and speculation,” but Anna really soon disappeared from TV screens and Museliani’s life.
After this, Express-Gazeta writes, she gave her word: her personal life will no longer be available to the press.
Several years ago, in the virtual and real community, people were actively discussing the news that Alina Kabaeva allegedly had a child, a boy. And that she lives in a luxurious villa in a gated community owned by Gazprom. Kabaeva raised this topic only once. In a conversation in the program “Temporarily Available,” Alina Kabaeva answered that she has a beloved man and that she considers herself a happy woman.
A new chapter immediately began in Alina Kabaeva’s life. Her next love story gained widespread popularity all over the world. The only people who didn’t talk about her were the lazy ones in Russia and Kabaeva herself.
On April 12, 2008, in the Saturday issue of the Moscow Correspondent newspaper, a scandalous publication was published about her upcoming wedding with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The news was instantly reprinted by the European media and began to be savored.
Elizaveta Ovchinnikova, Alina’s press secretary, refused to comment on any information about the “Putin and Kabaeva” tandem, and also demanded that the newspaper print a refutation.
On April 18, the Russian President said that there was “not a single word of truth” in the Moscow Correspondent’s publication. On the same day (what a coincidence!) the general director of the publication announced the decision to suspend the newspaper. According to him, due to unprofitability, but not everyone believed it. Rumors about the love between Putin and Kabaeva began to gain momentum.
A year later, they began to say that Alina gave birth to Vladimir Putin’s son, whom she named Dmitry - in honor of the then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
In an interview with Vogue magazine, the former athlete stated that the boy, whom everyone considers her son, is her nephew Arseny. And in her diary on Livejournal Alina Kabaeva wrote:
Dear friends! It’s not my rule to comment on rumors, but I decided to make an exception. Because I cannot leave many kind words and wishes unanswered... On my website, on the My Life page, I promised to talk about the most important events in my life, about my family. Therefore, when I become a mother (which has not happened yet), I will definitely write about it. In any case, thanks to everyone who congratulated and worried about me. It was only for your sake that I deviated from my principle: never pay attention to gossip."
More than a year has passed since then, but information about the affair between Putin and Kabaeva still worries the public. But they remain deathly silent.
The Western press has also repeatedly published information about the connection between the athlete and the Russian leader. However, it cannot be denied that the only documentary “confirmation” of this is the route sheet of the private plane flight carried out on May 19, 2008, which brought Kabaeva and a number of people close to Putin to Sochi (where Putin was located).
On July 6, 2013, Vladimir Putin officially announced that he was divorcing his wife. And the press again started talking about his affair with Alina Kabaeva. In 2013, the notorious The New York Post reported that 29-year-old Kabaeva gave birth to a girl from Putin in November. According to the publication, Putin settled Kabaeva with their two children in his “Sochi palace.”
If it weren’t for the Olympics in Sochi, the main characters of this story might not have been talked about. At the opening of the Olympics, paparazzi captured a wedding ring on the star's finger. Kabaeva has not yet commented on the photos that appeared on the Internet. B And everything could have come to nothing, but...
Already on February 13, divorced Vladimir Putin appeared in public with a wedding ring on his finger. This is evidenced by a freeze frame from the LifeNews TV channel taken at a meeting between Russian President and Egyptian Defense Minister Abdelfattah el-Sisi. Amazing coincidence!
It seems that a new chapter is beginning in the love story of Putin and Kabaeva. Be that as it may, Alina firmly clung to the title of “first mistress” of Russia. And while these two will remain silent about it, the public will talk about it even louder.
"EG" cites the point of view of the French actor Jean Daniel, who is described by the publication as Alina Kabaeva's closest friend.
“My friend introduced us back in the late 90s. When Alinochka came from training camp, we arranged various gatherings and tea parties with her. Once we celebrated my birthday together in Sardinia - the villa was then fully paid for by my childhood friend from New Zealand, Eduard Memarne Alina then brought me a luxurious tea set as a gift. Now it stands in my sideboard in a very visible place!
I miss those times. Now Alina is very, very busy! She does so much: she opened two sports schools in Kazan, she helps the disabled, children, and artists a lot. But for some reason no one talks about this. And they write all sorts of, excuse me, nonsense about the poor girl! We used to sit with her and laugh. The funny thing is that she learns all this nonsense from me. She doesn’t read this nonsense, thank God. So we laugh, they say, she has already given birth to two children, now, probably, it remains to write that she is expecting a third from a black man!
I dare to assure you that everything is fine with her personal life. Alina has a lover. I also know him - a very pleasant young man. It is clear from everything that Alina is happy with him. They are not officially married. Bye. Wait, the time will probably come soon. We'll let you know."
Compromising evidence from Ukraine and Russia

Songs are dedicated to her, she is endlessly discussed on the RuNet - and for good reason
Rhythmic gymnast, two-time world champion and five-time European champion, public figure, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, presenter on the REN-TV channel... Surprisingly, all these titles belong to one person - Alina Kabaeva.
Alina was born on May 12, 1983 in Tashkent, into a very athletic family - her mother played in the Uzbekistan basketball team, and her father played for the Pakhtakor football team. Therefore, the future star grew up under conditions of constant parental training. But when she decided to choose a career as an athlete, her choice turned out to be completely conscious. The parents did not force their daughter to follow in their footsteps.
At first, she was destined for a career as a figure skater, but later her parents relied on rhythmic gymnastics. After all, there were simply no strong figure skating schools in the republic. Alina Kabaeva started doing gymnastics at the age of three and a half.
At the age of twelve, Alina’s mother took her to Moscow to fully reveal the talent of her talented daughter. In the capital, the future champion began to study hard under the guidance of the famous Irina Viner.
Triumphs and fiascos
As Alina herself recalls, at first the coach of the rhythmic gymnastics team was horrified by her. It was necessary to work and work with the young athlete, and first of all, Alina urgently needed to get rid of excess weight. By the way, previous coaches even jokingly called her a “TV on legs.”
Irina Viner put her ward on a strict diet. The future celebrity ate almost nothing - she only drank mineral water. Kabaeva had to work on herself more than others, but the results were not long in coming.
Soon she joined the national team, and prestigious titles fell on the beauty one after another. She became the only four-time European champion in the history of rhythmic gymnastics. Alina received her last title in Spain, and for the first time became European champion in Portugal. By the way, the gymnast considers Japan the happiest country to perform in. It was there, in 1999, that she became a two-time world champion.

In 2000, at the Olympic Games in Sydney, fans were sure that Kabaeva would become the first. But the athlete became only third - in the final she dropped her hoop, and the victory went to Yulia Barsukova. Another failure awaited the gymnast in 2001. Alina Kabaeva and Irina Chashchina were caught using furosemide. As a result, a scandal broke out, and the girls were disqualified for two years for doping. The athletes were deprived of all awards from the Goodwill Games, as well as the 2001 World Championships.
Despite this, Kabaeva turned out to be the only gymnast in the world whose name was included in the Guinness Book of Records. After all, at the age of fifteen she was the absolute European champion among adult athletes.
In 2006, Alina became the laureate of the Glamor Woman of the Year award, and she was also recognized as the sexiest in Russia among the Top 10 Sexy award winners in the sports category.
But it’s not enough for her to just be a beauty; she also always tried to take an active position in life. So, in July 2008, filming of Kabaeva’s author’s program about the lives of successful people, “Steps to Success,” began on the REN TV channel. The guests of the program were famous Russian athletes, singers, actors and politicians.
Fans are ready to forgive her everything - her difficult character, caustic phrases in interviews and even Olympic failures. Her face is always a poster, her personal life is under the gaze of the paparazzi, failures are a national tragedy, and victories are a celebration.
Romances and breakups
The personal life of Alina Kabaeva has always been a secret behind seven seals. The only thing that can be said for sure is that Alina works in the Duma and provides for herself well.
Police Major David Museliani was the main man in the gymnast’s life for about three years. He is thirteen years older than Alina, and there were rumors that he was married at the time of their acquaintance. They hid the relationship for more than two years, and then stated that the reason for the breakup was abnormal press interest.

Before this, Kabaeva had an affair with Russian national team football player Maxim Buznikin. The couple dated for several years and even prepared for their wedding. Either the stars didn’t align well, or just at that moment a major appeared in Alina’s life, but the young people unexpectedly separated and prefer to avoid not only each other, but even mentioning the years they lived together.
After breaking up with David, Alina withdrew into herself. Anton Sikharulidze saved her from depression. This novel was discussed quite actively in the Duma, but it did not come to official recognition. New hobbies appeared in Kabaeva’s life, and Anton, as you know, got married.
London Arsenal footballer Philip Sanderson also became involved in the personal life of Alina Kabaeva. Having gone on vacation to Switzerland, she, according to rumors, began a short affair with him. However, neither side nor the other side comments on this.
Silence - room for rumors
It's no secret that Vladimir Putin and Alina Kabaeva have become... the most popular couple on the RuNet! But figuring out where the truth is and where the fiction is is almost impossible. Probably only the deaf have not heard about their alleged romance. As they say, there is no smoke without fire, and it is unlikely that this story arose completely out of nowhere.
In April 2008, the Moscow Correspondent newspaper published an article about the upcoming wedding of Kabaeva and Putin. The news instantly spread across Russia and Europe, and the publications caused a huge resonance. Alina's representatives demanded to write a refutation. Well, the president said at a press conference in Italy that there is “not a single word of truth” in this story. On the same day, the publication of “Moscow Correspondent” was discontinued, allegedly due to the newspaper’s unprofitability...
A year after the scandal, Alina was rumored to have given birth to a son - the source of the first gossip about Putin’s relationship with Kabaeva and their common child was the New York Post. It was stated there that Kabaeva named her “first child” Dmitry - in honor of President Dmitry Medvedev.”
The rumor that Alina Kabaeva has children is the number one mysterious story in Russia; speculation about her motherhood has been circulating for several years now. This topic has never been officially raised, but Internet users are constantly discussing it. And this despite the fact that the gymnast gave an interview to the Bolshoi Sport magazine (its editor-in-chief is gymnast Alexey Nemov) and said that she has not yet become a mother! “I can say: I don’t have children,” Kabaeva noted briefly. At the same time, the athlete added that she would definitely send her children to a sports school: “I don’t know where the boy is, but to rhythmic gymnastics for the girl.”
But the rumors did not subside; on the contrary, they grew to speculation that Putin and Kabaeva started a family with not one, but two or three children... This leitmotif was especially strengthened when Putin and his wife announced their divorce. Many believe that now the announcement of Kabaeva’s role in his life is only a matter of time.
In short, journalists never tire of writing about the children of the president and the gymnast, and Kabaeva never tires of denying the presence of both pregnancies and children. Given this state of affairs, the country has a huge field for fantasies and speculation on this topic.
On June 13 of this year, an interview with Kabaeva appeared on the Internet with answers to provocative questions about the Russian opposition and relations with Putin. However, due to the nature of the material, the public had good reason to consider it an ordinary "duck". When asked about her relationship with Vladimir Putin, Alina allegedly replied: “I’m tired of this topic. In the end, this is my personal life and there is no need to meddle in there... If there is any relationship, then only our descendants will know about it, 50 years from now.” The gymnast’s answer to a question about the Russian opposition is no less peculiar: “The leaders of the opposition are so worthless that none of them can even compare with the existing president or prime minister. Neither by upbringing, nor by experience, nor by intelligence. These are spiders in a jar that will eventually eat themselves.”
Just buckwheat porridge
The former gymnast is of the opinion that you shouldn’t eat after six in the evening, but during the daytime she eats what she likes. She also sometimes goes on a buckwheat diet if she feels she needs to lose extra pounds. That is, pour boiling water over the buckwheat at night, and the whole next day eats only buckwheat porridge, washing it down with green tea with honey or just water.
Kabaeva revealed another secret of her invariably blooming appearance, admitting that she remembered one of her trainer’s advice for the rest of her life: “If you are sick when you go out in public, no one should know that you feel bad.” Well, the best way to combat stress, in her opinion, is physical activity. For example, a treadmill.
The last money is for clothes!
The hobbies of this famous young lady are literature and ballet. “I like Ostrovsky’s plays. They are so modern that it seems - change the name of the city, dress the characters in modern clothes, replace outdated figures of speech - and you will never guess that the action took place in the century before last,” the star writes on his official website. “I reread the classics with great pleasure.” Alina also has a love for soft toys from childhood, which she collects.
The principle of “being stylish in life” is one of her favorites. Previously, Alina was often seen at glamorous parties. For going out, she prefers evening dresses or tight blouses and trousers - fortunately, her figure allows it.

After leaving the sport, the star did not give interviews for a long time. But her appearance on the cover of Russian Vogue in December 2010 became a sensation. Kabaeva then appeared in a golden dress from the House of Balmain, and for the photo shoot tried on outfits from Victoria Beckham, Emilio Pucci and Hervé Léger.
“Mom always dressed me beautifully, always! - says Alina. - My beloved daddy is a football player, and even then he traveled abroad and brought all sorts of beautiful things. And then, when I was already in sports and there was no money, I was a nobody and my name was nothing, I still dressed beautifully. If I won something, I could pay my last money for clothes.”
Alina comes from Uzbekistan, but like any eastern woman, she has a love of bright colors, glitter and jewelry in her blood. By the way, Kabaeva’s coach, the legendary Irina Viner, was also born in Uzbekistan. Many of Wiener's students were criticized for their addiction to glitter. In one interview, Irina recalls how gradually, first overalls, then skirts, then sequins were allowed in gymnastics. Wiener fought all her life for glamor in gymnastics and achieved her goal. Moreover, she dressed her girls not only in the gym, but also in life - she made sure that they were not “blue stockings”, but avoided vulgarity.
Today, despite her love of brightness, Kabaeva wears business suits to Duma meetings. “You can’t come there with a neckline. I respect this work and respect my colleagues,” Alina said in an interview with Vogue.
Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics, State Duma deputy Alina Kabaeva will head the largest media holding in the country. How did this woman come to success?
Alina, by the way, hosted a program on one of the TV channels of that same National Media Group called “Steps to Success.” Maybe this helped? But let's start from the beginning...

She was awarded the Order of Friendship (2001) and “For Services to the Fatherland”, IV degree (2005), as well as the Certificate of Honor of the President of the Russian Federation (2013).
According to official data, Kabaeva’s income for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 amounted to 10.7 million rubles. Kabaeva owns a land plot with an area of 7.2 thousand square meters, three apartments, and a Mercedes-Benz car.
On September 15, 2014, the head of the State Duma Committee on Rules of Procedure, Sergei Popov, said that deputy Alina Kabaeva wrote a statement about resigning her parliamentary powers at her own request.

The couple actively shared details of their relationship in the media. More and more details about the relationship between Alina and her boyfriend were emerging in the press.

They separated in 2006; according to Alina, they parted as close friends. After a not very successful relationship, Alina decided never to discuss information about the relationship in the press again.
Wiener often called the young athlete a “TV on legs,” but she immediately saw the talent in the girl.
Rumors in recent years often link Putin and Kabaeva in a romantic relationship. The first time the news about the upcoming wedding of Alina Kabaeva and the President of the Russian Federation appeared in Moscow Correspondent. The unsubstantiated rumor caused a stir both in Russia and throughout the world. Both sides declined to comment and demanded a retraction. Putin soon pointed out that there was no truth in what the journalists were saying. Immediately after this, the publication was closed as unprofitable.
Soon a photo of Alina with a small child appeared on the Internet. Rumors spread in the press that this was the child of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, that he was named Dima in honor of Medvedev. In the end, it turned out that this was the nephew of the eminent athlete, the son of her sister Leysan Kabaeva.

However, constant communication with athletes, trips with parents to various training camps and competitions postponed a certain opinion on the worldview of the future champion.

“All people, without exception, are talented. It’s just that everyone has different talents and they need to be developed. Some are lucky to find themselves in the profession, but others are not. Parents also play a huge role in this...
Dad reacted to my victories as if they were his own. He was happy, very proud and loved to repeat: “My daughter is the smartest, the most talented, the most beautiful”...
I am grateful to my mother for her discipline and integrity in our upbringing. What I have achieved in big sport and life is, first of all, her merit.”

Life:
Origin: Kabaeva was born in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, in the Soviet Union. Her father Marat Kabaev, an ethnic Tatar, was a football player and played for the Pakhtakor team. Alina’s mother, Lyubov Kabaeva, a Russian, played for the Tashkent basketball team “SKIF” and played for the Uzbekistan national team. Alina has a younger sister, Laysana. Her father Marat Kabaev was a player in the Pakhtakor football team. The family constantly followed him, moving to different cities of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. The girl grew up in a sports atmosphere, full of training, training camps, fatigue, victories and defeats. Alina and her mother often attended football matches with Marat. Her father always took Alina with him to the training center in Kibray. As a child, Alina was a very active and bright girl and had a lively and rich imagination.
Education: She graduated from the Moscow State University of Service and from the St. Petersburg State University of Physical Culture.
Main stages of professional activity: She started doing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 3.5 years. Alina's mother wanted her daughter to seriously engage in figure skating or rhythmic gymnastics. There were no strong figure skating schools in hot Uzbekistan, so the choice fell on rhythmic gymnastics. Alina's first coaches were A. Malkina and E. Tarasova.
When Alina was 12 years old, her mother realized that it would not be possible to fully develop Alina’s potential in Tashkent and in 1995 she took her to Moscow to see Irina Viner, the head coach of the Russian rhythmic gymnastics team.
Irina Viner immediately discovered the natural talent of her student and began to prepare Alina to conquer great heights. She officially became her head coach and since then Alina’s ascent from victory to victory began.
In 1996, when Alina was 13 years old, she became a member of the national team and from that moment her career took off sharply. In the same year, Alina made her debut on the international stage. When Alina Kabaeva was only fifteen years old, she won a gold medal at the European Championships in Portugal (1998).
In 1999, Kabaeva became the European champion for the second time in a row, and also won the title of absolute world champion in Osaka, Japan.
In 2000, Alina Kabaeva won the world champion title and was ready to repeat her success at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. But, due to a mistake, she took home bronze.
At the 2001 World Championships, she won gold in the ball, clubs and ribbon exercises and silver in the individual all-around.
However, Kabaeva and her teammate Irina Chashchina tested positive for a banned diuretic drug (furosemide) and were suspended for two years. They were stripped of all awards from the Goodwill Games and the 2001 World Championships.
Furosemide itself is not a doping agent and is used in sports to remove prohibited substances. Perhaps Kabaeva used furosemide along with dietary supplements that her trainer suggested to her.
In 2003, she won a total of all 5 titles at the European Championships and added another victory at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2004, at the Athens Olympics, Kabaeva won a gold medal in the individual all-around in rhythmic gymnastics.
In October 2004, Kabaeva announced her retirement from the sport. However, on September 10, 2005, she resumed her sports career in the Italian-Russian friendly competition in Genoa. On March 5, 2006, she won the Moscow Gazprom Grand Prix, sharing prizes with Vera Sessina and Olga Kapranova, who took second and third places. Kabaeva finally retired from the sport in 2007.
Political activity. Kabaeva began to engage in politics in 2001. From December 2001 to October 2005 she was a member of the Supreme Council of the United Russia party. From October 2005 to September 2007 she was a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. Within the framework of the Public Chamber Commission on the Development of Charity, Mercy and Volunteering, she dealt with the problem of insurance for athletes.
On December 2, 2007, Kabaeva became a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the 5th convocation (2007-2014).
Since September 2014, she has been Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Media Group media holding. Since 2016, he has headed the board of directors of ZAO Sport-Express. She is also the head of the Alina Kabaeva Charitable Foundation.
Main stages of personal life: In 2007, Kabaeva graduated from the Moscow State University of Service, receiving a qualification as a specialist in the field of sports management. In 2009, she graduated from the St. Petersburg State University of Physical Culture named after P. F. Lesgaft.
On April 12, 2008, a message appeared in the Moscow Korrespondent newspaper that in mid-June, she would be engaged to Russian President Vladimir Putin. A few days later, Putin, speaking at a press conference with Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, said: “There is not a single word of truth in this message.” Kabaeva’s press secretary refused to discuss “this nonsense” at all. The Moscow Correspondent newspaper was closed for financial reasons on October 29, 2008.
In December 2009, in Moscow, Alina Kabaeva gave birth to a boy and named the child Dmitry. Although, on the one hand, the name of the child’s father has not yet been officially announced, there is an opinion that Dmitry may be the child of Vladimir Putin.
Kabaeva wrote on her website: “I’m not a prude, but I don’t like it when my life is put on display like a commodity. I am sure that every person should have something secret, their own. So my “personal life” is intimate and only mine. I hope for your understanding".
