The first lady of the Russian opposition, Yulia Navalnaya, was born on July 26, 1976. She met her notorious husband in 1999 while on vacation in Turkey. Before meeting with Alexei Navalny, Yulia, who has a higher education in economics, worked in a bank.
Whatever people think about the political activities of the main domestic oppositionist, many consider his relationship with his wife almost a role model. Alexey always carries a photo of his wife with him. Julia, on the other hand, is trying with all her might to provide her scandalous husband with a reliable home rear.
Biography
Unfortunately, practically nothing is known to the public about the childhood and youth of Navalny's wife. On the Web, there is only information that Julia may have been born in the small town of Dragobych, Lviv region, Ukraine. The maiden name of Alexei Navalny's wife is Abrosinov.
It is also known that after graduating from high school, Julia entered the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov. Later, the girl studied at a business school abroad, and then entered graduate school.
In addition to economics, from her youth, Julia was also fond of politics. Like Navalny himself, she is a member of Yabloko. At the same time, Yulia has been in the party even longer than Alexei, who left her in 2007.
Acquaintance and wedding
The acquaintance between Yulia and Alexei, which happened at one of the Turkish resorts, did not interrupt at the end of the vacation, as is often the case, but continued in Moscow. Who first called whom, the couple, however, can not remember until now. However, the wedding of young people took place already in 2000.
Family life
In 2001, Navalny's first child was born - daughter Daria. After another 7 years, in 2008, the couple had a son, Zakhar. Despite her interest in politics in her youth, at the moment, Yulia Navalnaya considers herself not a particularly public person.
Navalny's wife is actively interested in the problem of raising children in Russia and participates in parental committees. In the past, she appeared several times with her husband and at various rallies.
However, Julia sees her main goal not in social activities, but in raising children and creating home comfort. As the wife of an oppositionist once told reporters, there is a clear distinction in their family. Julia takes care of the house and does not meddle in her husband's political affairs. Alexey does not encroach on the home sphere.
Children
Julia devotes a lot of time to the upbringing of Zakhar and Daria. Alexei Navalny practically does not interfere in household chores. However, the political views of the oppositionist on the family are, of course, reflected to some extent.
Both Yulia and Alexei consider the truth to be the basis of correct parenting. The politician and his wife believe that in no case should you deceive your child. Therefore, both Daria and Zakhar are well aware of what their father is doing and even know about his arrests.
As Julia herself told reporters, her daughter Dasha tells everyone around that her dad is fighting swindlers. At school, the girl sometimes publicly calls even the current head of state a swindler.
Alexei Navalny himself turns a blind eye to this behavior of his daughter. Julia doesn't particularly like it. The wife of the oppositionist scolds Dasha for this, believing that such statements can create additional problems for the family. However, despite the dissatisfaction of her mother, Dasha still likes to believe that her dad is engaged in fighting bad people.
Navalny's attitude to his wife
Alexey Navalny, like many other politicians, does not like to talk about his family. For example, the oppositionist did not write anything about his personal life for a long time, even on his blog in LiveJournal.
However, once the politician on the Web still let slip about his wife. A new entry by Navalny with the title "Yulia" has appeared in LiveJournal. On the website, the oppositionist publicly congratulated his wife on her birthday and said that he was very pleased to always carry her photo with him. This touching post subsequently received more than 700 user comments.
Where do the spouses live
According to official information, Alexey and Yulia Navalny live in Moscow, in a small apartment in Mytishchi. At the same time, the family's income, according to some media reports, is not too large.
Perhaps it is so. However, information periodically appears in the press that Julia, for example, often travels to the United States, where she spends a lot of money to buy expensive clothes and even to play in a casino.
Yes, and in the photographs available on the Web, Yulia Navalnaya certainly does not look like a housewife from a poor family. But be that as it may, the wife of the main Russian oppositionist is considered by the majority of Russian citizens to be a model of grace and femininity. Julia looks, even though she has already passed over 40, in fact, very young, impressive and quite dignified.
Gossip
Thus, many consider Navalny's family almost a role model. However, the scandalous politician, of course, is constantly under the scrutiny of the press. And of course, some publications ascribe to Navalny, including connections with other women. For example, information appeared in the media at one time that the main Russian opposition leader was meeting with Masha Gaidar.
Sometimes the press does not ignore Yulia Navalnaya herself. From time to time in the media there are hints about some "hot Turkish guys" connected with the oppositionist's wife.
But be that as it may, the marriage of Yulia and Alexei Navalny, concluded almost 20 years ago, turned out to be very strong in fact. And this can only mean one thing - relations in the Navalny family are really built on love and mutual understanding. And all sorts of attacks towards an outwardly very exemplary couple usually come simply from the political opponents of the opposition.
