Irina Kudrina is the second wife of a Russian politician, entrepreneur, first chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, and Doctor of Economic Sciences Alexei Kudrin. What is known about the woman? What does she do, and how did Irina's personal life develop? We will talk about this in our article.
Irina Kudrina: biography
Irina Igorevna, nee Tintyakova, was born in June 1973. The woman is currently 45 years old. Irina is a journalist by profession. It is known that before marriage, she was an assistant to the press attaché of A. Chubais A. Trapeznikov, where she met her husband.
After her marriage, the girl began working as a financial observer at Interfax, and since 2000, together with M. Margevich, she created a charitable center, the budget of which, judging by the reasoning of Irina herself, was 250 thousand dollars.
At the moment, Irina Kudrina is actively involved in charity work. Not so long ago, she headed the Russian Northern Crown Foundation, which provides assistance to boarding schools and orphanages.
Irina's personal life
As mentioned above, with her future husband, the famous politician Alexei Leonidovich, the girl met at the age of 26, while serving as secretary-assistant with Chubais. After some time, a romantic relationship began to develop between Kudrin and Irina (there is a photo of the woman in the article).
Young people met for two years, until it became known that the girl was expecting a baby. After that, Irina and Alexey legalized their relationship officially. Kudrin had to leave his first wife (she was a St. Petersburg businessman, her name was Veronika Sharova) and tie the knot with Tintyakova. After about 9 months, the couple became the happy parents of a baby named Artem.
Kudrin's wife - Irina Tintyakova
After the birth of the child, Irina did not quit her job, but continued her vigorous activity. Beloved husband always supported any undertakings of his wife and did not resist when she decided to do charity work.
Aleksey Leonidovich always supported his wife and gave good advice. Not so long ago, he even actively participated in the presentation of his wife's representative fund in London. Despite his busy schedule, the politician found a few hours to support Irina. As the media then claimed, such a move made a strong impression on businessmen who doubted whether it was worth contributing money to Kudrina's fund. It is worth noting that, unlike most ministerial spouses, our heroine prefers to lead an active social life andregularly attend a variety of parties and all kinds of events.
However, in one of the interviews that Irina gave to one of the sought-after glossy publications, the wife of a famous Russian politician admitted that sometimes there comes a moment when she clearly understands that she is tired of social events, the number of which in the capital is sometimes several times exceeds hangouts in New York or London.
However, probably, the wife of Alexei Leonidovich is not the main frequenter of social events in Moscow. Usually, spouses of large businessmen or successful business women meet at such events.
But it is worth noting that the experience of state official A. Mordashov convinced many of the need to build relationships with their former and current halves. The couple attend various events together, showing public well-being at home and good family relationships.
Irina's Hobbies
It is also known that at one time Irina Kudrina (Kudrin's wife) dreamed of starting the production of artificial sapphires. The woman was one of the founders of the metropolitan firm Ambi XXII. M. Rabadanov, who headed the laboratory of X-ray diffraction analysis, was a like-minded person in this matter. The head of the Institute was M. Kovalchuk, who is the brother of Y. Kovalchuk, the founder of the St. Petersburg Bank Rossiya, who, together with the current President of Russia, created the dacha company Ozero.
However, this business was not destined to take place. As Rabadanov himself stated, in connection with variousdue to circumstances, the planned project could not be implemented.
Valentin Yudashkin Group
In addition, in the early 2000s, the wife of a famous politician, together with a popular couturier, whose services are used by most representatives of the state business elite, established a company called "Valentin Yudashkin Group". As it turned out, Irina Kudrina had long-standing friendly relations with Yudashkin.
The partner in this matter was an investment and financial firm called "Business Technologies" of businessman Alexander Karmanov. According to the wife of a well-known politician, she planned to create a company that would produce casual clothes, but this project was not entirely successful either.
Family Charity
It is worth noting the important fact that for Kudrin's wife, social events are not only a way to have a good time, but also a significant part of the work. As she noted in one of the interviews, businessmen from the capital are not yet ready to spend part of their savings on charity - although this property of the public is also found abroad.
Most likely, it was from these considerations that not so long ago, in addition to the branch of the Northern Crown, which took place in the United States of America, the London branch of the fund was also formed. Its opening took place at the residence of the Russian ambassador in the UK. Not surprisingly, one of the main guests at the presentation was Irina's husband, Alexei Leonidovich Kudrin.
And, probably, one should not be surprised that it is the wife of the famous Russian politician who is actively involved in charitable activities. As she herself stated in an interview (not so long ago appeared in the media), that after large businessmen and owners of various companies began to learn about her fund, from year to year the number of large organizations and institutions began to grow exponentially. Many company leaders are now ready to help children, and more and more of them are growing over time.
