Polina Yumasheva (Deripaska) is one of the famous VIPs in Russia. Since childhood, she was surrounded by celebrities and is related to the most famous representatives of domestic business and politics. At the same time, Pauline can hardly be called a carefree playgirl, as she has been building a career in the publishing business for many years and has achieved great success.
Father
Polina Yumasheva was born on January 11, 1980 in the city of Moscow. Her father, Valentin Borisovich, came to the capital from Perm as a seventeen-year-old boy, and since 1976 he worked in the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, starting with the post of courier. In 1987, Yumashev moved to the magazine "Spark", where in 1991-1995 he was the deputy editor, and in the 1995-1996 he supervised the work of the editors of this famous publication.
In 1996, Valentin Yumashev was appointed adviser to President Yeltsin, and a year later - the head of his Administration.
Polina’s parents divorced when she was still a baby, but Valentin Borisovich always supported the girl. In 2002, the father married Tatyana Dyachenko, the daughter of Boris Yeltsin. The stepmother reacted to a very adult stepdaughter quite kindly. Moreover, while a joint photo with the daughter of Irina Vedeneyeva, the mother of Polina Yumasheva, is almost impossible to find in the press, then pictures depicting a young woman with Dyachenko have repeatedly appeared on the pages of glossy magazines telling about the life of the “rich and famous”.
The wedding of Valentin Borisovich with the daughter of the former President of the Russian Federation took place in 2002. Soon after, Yeltsin decided to leave his post as head of state and announced it on television after reading a speech written by his long-standing speechwriter and now newly-born son-in-law.
Mother
Polina’s mother is Irina Vedeneeva, she was also engaged in journalism. For many years, the woman was a special correspondent for the newspapers Moskovsky Komsomolets and Sovetsky Sport. Together with her husband, she once wrote a script and made a film about the group "Aquarium" by Boris Grebenshchikov and about K. Nikolsky. The picture was released in 1988 and was called "The Choir Alone." She was very worried about breaking up with Valentine and never married a second time.
After in 2002, Dyachenko gave Valentina Yumashev daughter Maria, it became known that Irina Vedeneeva is also pregnant. At 45, the woman gave birth to a son weighing only 920 g. They said that she did IVF, and Pauline took care of all the costs for the birth and hospital care. After that, mother and son disappeared from the field of view of journalists.
early years
Polina Yumasheva grew up an active child. From 4 years old she was engaged in tennis. However, after a back injury, the girl had to give up sports for several years. At the age of 16, Polina was sent to the UK to study at the faculty of economics at the prestigious MILFIELD school, where at that time the presidential grandson B. L. Yeltsin and Alexei Chubais were educated. All expenses for the education of the girl were borne by her father.
Later, Polina graduated from Moscow State University and Higher School of Economics, operating at Moscow State University with a degree in management. In her student years, the girl again took up tennis and even entered the country's youth team.
Fateful meeting
In the early 2000s, Roman Abramovich introduced Valentin Yumashev with his business partner Oleg Deripaska. The latter at that time was a little over 30. Despite the relatively young age, Deripaska was already considered one of the most promising Russian businessmen and the country's most enviable suitors. The beautiful daughter of a new acquaintance immediately attracted the attention of an entrepreneur. Young people began to meet, and in 2001, after a short romance, Polina Yumasheva and Oleg Deripaska got married.
Marriage
Then many started talking about how it was a marriage of convenience. According to rumors, which were stubbornly circulated by the yellow press, Polina Yumasheva, daughter of Valentin Yumashev, married at the insistence of her father in order to create a powerful financial and political clan. Her husband was also not in trouble, as he became to some extent the grandson of Boris Yeltsin, thus bringing his ties with the political elite of the country to a new level.
Despite all the negative predictions, the marriage was quite strong, and the couple will soon celebrate the 16th anniversary of their life together.
Husband
Polina Yumasheva, whose biography of her early years is already known to you, is currently the wife of one of the richest people in Russia. Indeed, over the years of marriage, Oleg Deripaska has repeatedly increased his fortune. According to 2016, he took 41st place in the ranking of 200 richest businessmen in our country. At the same time, Deripaska’s fortune is 2.1 billion US dollars, and he himself has long earned the fame of a tough and purposeful entrepreneur, whom many call the aluminum magnate. In addition to the extraction of non-ferrous metals, the sphere of interests of O. Deripaska covers real estate operations, as well as airport, insurance, agricultural and other types of business.
First steps in business
To the honor of the heroine of this article, I must say that for a long time no one talks about her as the daughter of one of Boris Yeltsin’s close associates or the wife of oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
Today, Polina herself can provide both herself and her children. At the same time, it cannot be denied that it was the spouse who helped her start her own business. Thanks to her husband’s capital, by 2006, being the mother of five-year-old son Peter and three-year-old daughter Maria, Yumashev-Deripaska owned the popular publications “Ovva-Press”, “Interior + Design” and “My Baby and I”. She later headed the board of directors of Forward Media Group. This company brings the Polina family about $ 10 million annually.
Career Polina Yumasheva
To improve the financial situation of her publishing company, Polina Yumasheva closed the low-profit magazines Sandra and Valya Valentina. Instead, 3 new editions of Car, Story and Empire began to be published.
At the moment, Polina Yumasheva, together with her friend, a well-known socialite and business lady D. Zhukova, is the owner of the famous and profitable "network" magazine "Gossip". In addition, women have invested in the online project of F. Bondarchuk, which is an association of social networks for film lovers and filmmakers.
What Polina tells about herself
Yumasheva-Deripaska is not a big fan of giving interviews. According to her, she usually wakes up at 9 in the morning and, before going to the publishing house, likes to do yoga for an hour. Thus, she maintains her physical form and soothes the nerves.
A young woman is extremely annoyed by a waste of time in traffic jams. This problem is especially acute for Yumasheva, since she lives on the prestigious Rublevka, and goes to work in the center of the capital to work.
Polina considers work an important part of her life and says that she enjoys creating new projects.
Journalists are always interested in the question of what is the participation of the spouse in the affairs of Yumasheva. In one of her interviews, Polina answered this question that Oleg Deripaska sometimes asks her about her work at the publishing house, but she tries not to consult with him and solve the problems on her own. She uses the same approach in relation to domestic troubles, trying to “not load” her spouse, who, according to her, has already a lot of problems.
