The son of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Igor Lebedev, followed in his father's footsteps and connected his fate with politics. He prefers to hide his personal life from prying eyes. It is known that Igor Vladimirovich brings up two adult sons.
Career son Zhirinovsky
Igor Lebedev is the son of the famous Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, deputy chairman of the lower house of the Russian parliament. He has long come out of the shadow of his father and has many of his own achievements.
Igor Lebedev was born in 1972 in Moscow. He took his mother's surname upon receiving a passport. This decision was made with the aim that the young man could build his career and not depend on his father. After graduation, the son of a famous politician entered the Moscow Law Academy. In 1995, he first made an attempt to get into the State Duma, but he did not succeed. Vladimir Zhirinovsky appointed him as his assistant. In 1997, Igor Vladimirovich took the post of head of the LDPR youth organization.
In 1998, Lebedev not only got into the State Duma, but also became the leader of the LDPR faction. Igor also edited the party literature and had at his disposal the entire party cash desk. Pursuing a political career, the son of Zhirinovsky never forgot about raising the level of education. According to official figures, he is a doctor of historical sciences and a candidate of sociological sciences. In the State Duma of the sixth convocation, Igor Vladimirovich became deputy chairman of the lower house of parliament.
Personal life
Unlike an influential father, Igor Lebedev always carefully concealed his personal life. The politician has very few photos with his wife and children. Almost all publicly available footage taken by chance. It is known that the spouse of the politician is called Lyudmila. They have been familiar since childhood. Their families were once friendly and gradually children's friendship grew into more serious feelings.
Lyudmila is far from politics. She devoted herself to raising children and developing her own projects. In 2016, a scandal broke out in which the name of the son of Zhirinovsky appeared. Lyudmila organized the Kamena consumer community. Investors were invited to place their money at 100% per annum. The first hundred depositors received generous bonuses. For several years, the community regularly fulfilled all obligations, but then the payments stopped. Lyudmila Lebedeva explained this with temporary difficulties. The case was widely publicized, because among the depositors there were a lot of people with disabilities who believed the daughter-in-law of Zhirinovsky on the recommendation of the President of the All-Russian Society of the Deaf Valery Rukhledev.
Lyudmila refused to comment on her relationship with Igor Lebedev, and the politician, after hearing about the frauds of the Kamena society, said that he had divorced his wife back in 2000, and therefore could not say anything about this. Journalists questioned Lebedev's words, since a few years ago the couple and their children were seen on vacation.
In a marriage with Lyudmila, Igor Vladimirovich had two twin sons, Sergey and Alexander. Vladimir Zhirinovsky and his wife always paid great attention to their grandchildren. They repeatedly appeared together at various events. It is known that children weaned at a boarding school at Moscow State University and continue their education in Switzerland. Parents strive to give them a good education so that the boys can build a brilliant political career.
