Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin began his political career in his homeland, in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. It was there that he met his wife, the future mother of two daughters, and a successful businesswoman.
Dating history
Sergey met Irina Rubinchik in Kogalym. At that time, Sobyanin worked as the head of the housing and communal services, and later headed the city tax office. The initiator of the meeting was Sergey's older sister: she worked in the construction department and decided to arrange a meeting between her brother and a pretty colleague.
Young people immediately liked each other. The romantic period of courtship lasted six months, and then Sergey made a proposal to the girl's hand and heart, which she accepted without hesitation.
The wedding took place in 1986, and all the organizational chores fell on Irina. She managed to cope with all the difficulties on the job, the celebration was successful.
Family life
The first years of life together were not easy. Sobyanin made a fast career: in 1991 he received the post of head of the Kogalym administration, after 2 years he became deputy head of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and in 1996 he headed the Khanty-Mansiysk Duma.
In 1986, the eldest daughter Anna Sobyanina was born. The girl turned out to be very talented, she graduated from the Khanty-Mansiysk art school, and received higher education at the Art Academy in St. Petersburg. As an adult, Anna successfully married businessman Alexander Ershov, today a young family lives in St. Petersburg.
After 11 years, the family was replenished with another daughter, Olga. The girl was born in Moscow, studied at the most ordinary school, was interested in music and drawing. Parents always hid the details of the lives of their daughters from the press, and the girls themselves never aspired to publicity.
Family life went quite well, but Irina often complained about her husband’s constant absences. He devoted short moments of leisure to fishing and hunting, but there was less and less time for these hobbies. My wife said in an interview that even on vacation, Sergey thinks about work and does not have the opportunity to relax. Due to constant employment, he missed many important moments from the life of his daughters.
Irina herself paid a lot of attention to young girls, but she was not going to devote herself to home and remain a housewife. According to rumors, she owns a factory for the production of borders and paving slabs, and thanks to the help of her husband, the businesswoman manages to get very profitable contracts. However, the spouses themselves do not confirm this information, clarifying that Irina works, but with a much more modest job.
