Yuriy Begalov is a successful businessman, lawyer, promoter of outdoor activities, sponsor of many sports projects and host of special training events for fishing enthusiasts. The above list of hobbies is far from complete, but it is impressive. After all, Begalov manages to combine a life full of diverse interests with work and family, financially and morally supporting his own and adopted children.
Be in the public eye while staying in the shadows
In the last twenty years, Yuri Begalov has been mentioned in the press together with the name of Tatyana Vedeneeva, a famous actress and TV presenter. This is due to the long marriage of the stars, which ended in 2008 by mutual consent of the spouses. Being a public figure, Begalov does not like to give interviews and prefers to remain in the background. This fact explains the paucity of information about him in the press.
Perhaps the marriage contract of the former spouses included a clause on the restriction of public details of private life, according to whichTatyana Vedeneeva after the divorce, having returned to the air again, has the right to report only general information about her ex-husband. Perhaps the ex-spouses expected the excitement that it would cause among the paparazzi during the divorce, and came to special post-divorce agreements. One way or another, Tatyana Vedeneeva over the past ten years has not told journalists anything new about the portrait of her second husband, leaving him the right to decide for himself which of the information about his person can be posted in the media and the Internet, and which ones should never be mentioned.
Facts of life
Yuri Begalov's birthday is September 28, 1962. His hometown is Tbilisi. There he grew up in a Russian-Armenian family, received a law degree. Married three times, has three children. Despite his stately, colorful appearance and a successful career in the nineties, fame and we alth, Begalov always retained charm and intelligence in communication. It is no secret that it was precisely these qualities of his that at one time attracted the attention of Vedeneeva.
In one of the interviews, the well-known TV presenter and actress openly admitted that Yuri Begalov favorably differed from the owners of crimson jackets of the era of the establishment of business in Russia, who were tired of the raspberry jackets. He was simple, attentive, gallant and generous. He remains so now.
Business
Begalov is known as a co-founder of the British oil trading company First Quantum, which he registered in London with his cousin Eric Mkhitaryan. The company sold the final product of the Ryazan refinery. ATIn 1992, the cousins' business grew with shares in large Russian seaports and additional contracts in the construction industry. Thus, First Quantum has turned from a specialized structure into a group of companies with a wide range of activities.
Imennov this period Tatyana Vedeneeva interviewed the founders of First Quantum for the Morning program, asking Yuri Begalov about the peculiarities of pricing in the oil industry and the reasons for the rise in fuel prices in Russia.
So the first acquaintance took place. After that, as the host of the “Step to Parnassus” festival, the TV star considered it possible to apply to the oilmen with a request to sponsor the event. Together with the financial participation in the First Quantum project, she made an additional stunning gift - a trip to the Canary Islands was organized especially for Vedeneeva as part of a corporate team of oilmen.
She was an actress
At first, the relationship of the stars did not work out. The reason for this was the obligations of future spouses in previous marriages, where there were not only the second half, but also children. Both Tatyana Vedeneeva and Yuri Begalov rested in the Canary Islands. But their romance began later, upon arrival in Moscow.
The businessman knew how to care, he was patient, delicate, but persistent and generous. Few people know that Yuri is nine years younger than Tatyana. In one of the interviews, Vedeneeva said that such a difference in age is not, according to her concepts,acceptable for a happy marriage. Perhaps that is why she decided to join her fate with Begalov only after a year of his courtship. Since then, the biography of Yuri Vladimirovich Begalov has forever been associated with the name of Vedeneeva, despite the subsequent divorce.
Star Marriage
In 1993, while in London, Vedeneeva was engaged in the placement of her son in a private school. The bureaucratic procedure dragged on, and she had to send an application to work to extend the vacation for three days. The management of the TV channel considered it possible to offer her an ultimatum to return to work on time, threatening her with dismissal. Tatyana Vedeneeva decided to stay abroad and leave the air. It was a pretty cool turn, ending in marriage with Yuri Begalov.
The couple lived in France on the Cote d'Azur until 2000. The couple first consistently rented the hotel rooms they liked and entire villas on the Riviera, and later bought themselves a large house in Nice. For almost seven years, Yuri and Tatyana Begalovs spent "happiness and peace": they went on business trips, and then rested, enjoying the sea, air, the mild climate of the south of France and French cuisine. Daughters from Yuri Begalov's first marriage lived with them. Unfortunately, the couple did not have joint children.
Family business
In 1999, in Paris, the Begalovs founded a joint company for the production and sale ofcanned products based on Georgian national cuisine TREST "B" S. A. The enterprise is a multi-stage scheme with several branches:
- Gardens and vegetable plantations in the Caucasus and Bulgaria.
- Facilities located in Bulgaria - TREST "B" Operation.
- Several marketing and sales divisions in Switzerland and Russia - TREST "B" DISTRIBUTION.
According to Vedeneeva, the letter "B" in the name of the company denotes her last name. Currently, the company's products are widely known in the European market, they are supplied to the leading supermarket chains in Russia and CIS countries.
The fundamental principles for the development of this business are:
- ancient recipes;
- quality;
- high manufacturability;
- expansion of assortment;
- wide product presence in leading markets.
Yet Tatyana, by the seventh year of marriage, missed Moscow. Therefore, in 2000, the couple returned to Russia, and Vedeneeva again began to receive job offers from leading TV channels.
Marriage contract
Yuri and Tatyana Begalovs after purchasing joint real estate and establishing TREST "B" S. A. very farsighted about the future. Perhaps the marriage was not cloudless from the very beginning, and Vedeneeva offered to conclude a marriage contract. Maybe it was the decision of Yuri Begalov, a lawyer by education, taken by him as Vedeneyeva's refusal toTV presenter career. One way or another, but long before the divorce, the spouses determined their shares in the property in case of separation.
In an interview, the TV presenter said that the marriage contract included the rights to real estate and business. During the divorce, the apartment went to Vedeneeva, and the house to Begalov. The couple officially divorced after two years of separation, but without scandals and gossip. In all, their marriage lasted fifteen years.
Be able to part with dignity
The official reason for the divorce was Begalov's betrayal. However, the chronology of the family life of the stars suggests that the separation was inevitable, it was only a matter of time.
Thus, there were several reasons:
- Tatiana strove for vigorous activity, and a serene life on the Cote d'Azur could not last forever for her. Depressions began, and the need for self-realization was increasingly indicated.
- Begalov was often absent due to business trips.
- Tatiana did not share Begalov's serious passion, to which he devoted half of his life.
- In the past two years, relations have escalated, and the couple made a "temporary" decision to live separately. Sometimes the temporary gradually becomes permanent.
Currently, Yuri Begalov married again and has children in a new marriage. Vedeneeva is free and happy with her position.
Hobbies
In Russia, Vedeneeva's husband Yury Begalov seriously took up his old passion - fishing, to which he was not indifferent since childhood. From the age of five, his father, the same avid fisherman, took him fromyourself to the lakes. And in 1990, at the age of 28, Yuri learned that a hobby can have a professional development. It happened thanks to a chance meeting on the shores of Lake Saint-Casien (France).
By his own admission, Begalov, over the past 20 years, he visited more than 200 reservoirs in different parts of the world. The most favorite places for carp fishing are the lakes of France, Morocco and Kazakhstan, as well as the rivers of Russia.
