Secular lionesses of Moscow attract the attention of millions. Someone condemns them for their strange behavior, someone wants to be like them, and someone just enviously silently. Today we will introduce you to the stories of the most famous socialites in Moscow.
Concept history
Today, secular lionesses are called girls who lead an active social life. As a rule, they go to great lengths to attract the attention of the public: they communicate spicy details about themselves, scandal or put on revealing outfits. Most of them do not value their own reputation too much.
The concept of “secular lioness” came to Russia from the French in the 30s of the century before last.
In French, le lion (lion) means not only a feline predator, but also a trendsetter, rules of behavior in secular society, worthy representatives of the "upper layer".
Unlike ours, French secular lionesses always behaved very restrained, although in Russia today it is no longer fashionable to be an unrestrained brawler.
Shark pen
Nadezhda Stanislavovna Obolentseva was born in Moscow on July 24, 1983 in a family of diplomats. For a long time she lived with her parents in Central America.
After graduating from school, the girl entered the Moscow State University at once in two faculties - the history of art and journalism.
She worked as an editor of socialite chronicles in Tatler magazine, and then created the closed intellectual "Club 418" in Moscow. Later, a similar club was created in St. Petersburg.
Recently, Nadezhda starred in the video of Dima Bilan's "Labyrinths". At a charity evening dedicated to the support of the Naked Heart Foundation by Natalia Vodianova, filming in this video was played as one of the lots. Hope became one of the winners of the auction and the heroine of Bilan's video. All the money earned from the filming was sent to the fund.
Twice married
Nadezhda Obolentseva was married twice. She met with skater Anton Sikharulidze for a long time, received a marriage proposal from him, however, she did not dare to tie herself up by marriage.
The first husband of Nadezhda was businessman Denis Mikhailov. His impressive well-being: a huge villa in Hollywood, a chic car fleet, business - could not contribute to a happy marriage, and after three years of family life, Obolentseva went to her parents in Moscow.
The second time, Nadezhda Obolentseva married in 2014. Her chosen one was Airat Iskhakov, a top manager of the Neftegazindustriya group of companies. The age difference of 16 years did not embarrass Hope, and a casual acquaintance in the cafe grew into a love relationship. The wedding of Iskhakov and Obolenskaya took place in Italy on Lake Como. The richest and most famous personalities of Russia were present at the celebration, and during the celebration the bride changed three outfits.
Alas, the marriage did not last long, in 2017, Airat and Nadezhda divorced.
Now the secular lioness is free, although there are rumors about her romance with Abramovich.
Thumbelina, mother of three children
Miroslava Duma is the most fashionable of all secular lionesses in the capital. She was born in Moscow in 1985 in the family of a famous politician, member of the Federation Council Vasily Duma.
After graduating from school, Miroslava entered the Moscow State Institute of International Relations and after graduation began to work by profession.
- At first, she served as a manager in Harper's Bazaar magazine and led her column.
- In 2011, she moved to the OK magazine.
- A little later, she launched her own project - the Buro 24/7 website - about health, fashion and beauty.
A successful girl is now actively involved in charity work. She organized two foundations: “Planet of the world” and “Health”, which provide assistance to the sick and needy.
About the personal life of Miroslav, the Duma prefers not to talk much. However, everyone knows that in her student years she married businessman Alexei Mikheev. The tiny Thumbelina, a little over one and a half meters tall, gave birth to her beloved husband three children: a son and two daughters, the youngest of whom is not even six months old.
From model to businessmen
Little is known about the biography of yet another secular lioness of the capital - Yulia Vizgalina. In the past, she was a model, went to the best catwalks in Europe and America. Having become the wife of the head of Russian Gold CJSC Alexander Tarantsev, Julia began to seriously think about her own business.
In 2002, the girl decided to open a clothing boutique. Plans quickly came true: first - Soho in Moscow, and then Jimmy Choo - already in Europe
But Julia's real passion was jewelry, therefore, having gained business experience, she moved from the world of fashion to the world of jewelry. This choice cannot be called blind passion or hobby, because Vizgalina is a professional gemologist.
In 2007, Julia opened the David Morris salon, and then the first European boutique Soho Jewelry, where she presents jewelry from the world's best jewelry brands.
Modesty is the main hobby
Julia does not have a bright appearance, but she is in no hurry to hide her behind flashy outfits and jewelry. Her makeup is always moderate, and her favorite clothing style is casual.
Recently, Julia divorced Alexander Tarantsev. It was rumored that everything was to blame for the affair with actor Stepan Mikhalkov, who supposedly abandoned his wife with three children because of her, but together the young people were only seen a couple of times. If they had any kind of relationship, then they were not serious and very short.

After some time, Alena Kruglikova (her maiden name) has already conquered the European catwalks.

Singer, actress and just beautiful
In 2012, Alena began her career as a singer. The first song “Just a Movie” caused a storm of criticism, but gradually Kravets still managed to “get into” the world of show business and gain a foothold there.
In addition to the career of the singer, Alyona tried herself as an actress, starred in several episodes in films and series.
Alena met her husband (this is Ruslan Kravets) at 16 when she worked as a model in the United States. Soon they got married, and in 2007 their daughter Danielle was born.
The couple have been married for 9 years. After the divorce, Alena got a chic mansion on Rublevka, however, tensions with her ex-spouse often end in violent scandals.
