The public assigns a special role in the political structure of the state to people close to the president. In particular, the first lady. In Russia, she has recently been Putin's Lyudmila Alexandrovna. The biography of this beautiful woman has more than five years of successful wearing this title. However, not everything is so simple in the Russian "kingdom": yesterday, the first lady of the country today added the prefix "ex" to its title. Spouses Putin divorced. As the famous couple said, Lyudmila Alexandrovna was tired of being in the spotlight and wanted peace and solitude.
What childhood is lurking in
Before the first appearance before the Russians as the wife of the president, a woman has come a long way, half of which is hand in hand with her husband.
The biography of Lyudmila Putin (before the marriage of Shkrebneva) is rooted in the second of January 1958. It was in the year of the Taiwan crisis in Kaliningrad that a wonderful girl was born. Lyudmila's parents were ordinary workers. Mom worked all her life as a cashier. Dad, on the other hand, was part of the team of the Kaliningrad Mechanical Repair Plant.
The girl received secondary education in a very famous school: her walls were published by Oleg Gazmanov and Lada Dance. At the same desk with the latter, by the way, sat the youngest sister of Lyudmila - Olga. The school biography of Lyudmila Putin is replete with bright events. A student of excellence, turned on, a friendly and cheerful girl has always been in the spotlight. She successfully participated in the public and creative life of the institution. She enthusiastically played in theatrical productions, concerts, and worked eagerly at various events. Friends and acquaintances of Lyudmila believed that she would achieve great success on the stage: the girl dreamed of becoming an actress.
Steps into adulthood
However, contrary to her aspirations, the young girl entered the Kaliningrad Technical University. From where, after studying for two years and not finding her vocation, she left on her own initiative.
The labor biography of Lyudmila Putin consists of several professions. She worked as a postman, a nurse in a hospital, and even a turner in a factory. For a short time, the girl even led the drama circle in the House of Pioneers. The first fateful turn took place in her life at the concert of Arkady Raikin, held at the Leningrad Rest House. It was 1981. It was then that Lyudmila first met her future husband.
Marry a future president
In order to be near her beloved (Vladimir Vladimirovich was studying in Leningrad at that time), the girl said goodbye to the dream of a theater. She decides to stay in the northern capital and enter the university at the philological department. In 1983, a couple ties the knot.
After some time, the biography of Lyudmila Putin begins a new page called "Germany". There, the heroine’s husband is sent on a business trip for three years. The couple returned to their homeland in 1990. At the same time, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna became a teacher of a foreign language at Leningrad State University.
In 1993, the woman’s life changed dramatically: after a serious car accident, she turned her attention to God. It is worth noting that the high posts that Lyudmila’s ex-husband has ever held and occupies have never been a way for his wife to show herself to the public. The first lady always remained a completely non-public face and could calmly walk the streets without fear of being recognized.
In 2013, an event shocking everyone happened - the divorce of the presidential couple. Now in the status of a woman the prefix "ex" has been added. Lyudmila Putin is very calm about this fact. Biography, family and personal life remained personal. The absence of any pitfalls quickly brought down public interest in this event. Although for high politics, I must say, the divorce of the presidential couple is a very unusual thing.
Personal life
During the marriage (almost 30 years), the couple had two beautiful daughters - Catherine and Maria. The first was born in Leningrad in 1985. The second is in Dresden. The girls were named after grandmothers. Both are fluent in German. For a long time they live separately from their parents.
