Inna Zhirkova - the Wife of Famous Footballer

Inna Zhirkova, the wife of well-known footballer Yuri Zhirkov, recently made her first public appearance after a scandal and opened up to "Komsomolskaya Pravda". A three-minute video on YouTube, uploaded a little over a month ago, caused a sensation on the internet. Six million people watched the interview with the footballer's wife, Inna. The mother of two children, the beauty Inna struggled to answer what seemed like simple questions about Agniya Barto, Samuil Marshak, and Polonaise of Oginsky. Interestingly, after her publicly failed test of erudition with journalist Sobolev, one of the most popular searches on Yandex was "Who wrote Polonaise Aginskogo". Meanwhile, the interview was part of a one and a half-hour film about the marketability of beauty pageants, but it was these three fateful minutes that caught people's attention. Users on the internet showered Inna, the holder of the "Mrs. Russia-2012" crown, with lewd comments and mockery. Prior to this incident, Inna was unknown to the public. However, there were also many defenders of the beauty queen who emphasized her mission of giving birth to and raising children, her love for her husband, and her role as the guardian of the family hearth. Nevertheless, it was not easy for the footballer's wife - she retreated into seclusion from journalists and friends, but a couple of weeks later, she publicly renounced her beauty queen title through a video message. Only a month later did Inna decide to make a public appearance. The occasion was her 24th birthday, organized by her husband, Yuri. He chose an unusual restaurant on the roof of a skyscraper with a magnificent view of Moscow and invited guests. The following people were spotted at the celebration: comedian Mikhail Grushevsky, Decle's father Alexander Tolmatsky, football patron "Taivanchik", who journalists call a criminal authority, as well as Lokomotiv player Roman Pavlyuchenko, Yuri's comrades from Anzhi - Vladimir Gabulov, Fedor Smolov, and others. All the football players came with their wives. The single ladies who had dressed up for the occasion were disappointed - the unmarried athletes were not invited to the party, as there was an implicit division among them between the married and unmarried, who socialized separately. In the meantime, Yulia, the wife of Andrei Arshavin, whom Inna considers a good friend, was expected to arrive from London but was unable to. By the way, Smolov, mentioned earlier, came with his young wife, Viktoria Lopyreva. On the hand of Miss Russia 2003, which the 23-year-old forward proudly wore throughout the evening, there was a magnificent diamond ring. - We met at the birthday party of Yuri Zhirkov and another friend, Senya Logashev, - Viktoria told "Komsomolskaya Pravda". - They were celebrating in the same place at the same time. I came to Yuri because we have been friends for a long time, and Fyodor came to Senya. And we fell in love instantly. We were planning to have a wedding in the summer. But we haven't set a date yet because there are games going on, and we can't find a time slot to have a beautiful wedding. Perhaps we will postpone it to the autumn, but it will happen. The guest of honor, Inna, arrived at her own party two hours late. But she looked stunning! She posed for photographers with her husband, four-year-old son Dima, and two-year-old daughter Milana. Inna's mother, Nadezhda Nikolaevna, also came from Kaliningrad to congratulate her daughter. Afterward, Inna spoke with a correspondent from "Komsomolskaya Pravda". Congratulations! What did your dear husband give you as a gift? - Thank you! The most important thing he gave me is love, this celebration. It is not customary for us to give gifts on birthdays because he already makes me happy and constantly gives unexpected presents. - Dima and Milana went to bed much later yesterday. They spent the whole evening drawing flowers for me and in the morning, they woke up first and gave them to me. These touching cards were signed by them. - How do you feel about this whole situation after that program? Many people supported you, but still, it must have been sad, right? - Of course, it was sad. But at the moment, I'm fine because the most important thing in life is children and husband. And I really have the most important things in my life. And I advise everyone to find the same happiness, children are the most important thing. And your decision to renounce the crown was appreciated by everyone. Even those who were against you genuinely respected you. Did this decision come to you spontaneously? - No, not immediately. My friends asked me for a long time to watch this film, but I kept putting it off. But when I finally decided to watch it and saw all this dirt, I realized that I didn't want to associate myself with anything like that. The decision came as soon as I watched this film. I don't need such a crown. I have a husband, children, and they were really worried about me then. They constantly asked, "Mom, why are you upset?" I thought that after the competition, I would put the crown on the shelf, and that would be the end of it. I would go back to being just a wife and mother. But no - it was just the beginning. And you know, it really became much easier after I gave up that crown. Perhaps, Sobolev is the most hated person on Earth for you? - I can't say that. I have already said that I liked the film itself. It is very important. As for how he portrayed me in the interview... Everything happens for the best. I hold no grudges, nothing. I was foolish to present myself that way. So he is not at all involved in this. And what about the hypothesis that everything in our world can be bought? - I don't agree with it. In my case, that was definitely not the case. Nor have I ever heard of anything like that around me. And I've been in various contests before. You know why I participated in "Mrs. Russia"? I will tell you a secret: after giving birth, I weighed almost 90 kilograms, and I hardly felt beautiful. I distinctly remember the day when I was sitting in the hall, looking at the beauties on stage, and thinking: I can overcome myself, get in shape, and compete with them on equal terms. I made a promise to myself; it was such a challenge - to prove to myself and my husband that I can be beautiful again. And I proved it!
