This beautiful woman is a famous socialite and one of the most influential blondes of modern Russia. Thanks to her charming smile, which reliably hides the nerves of steel and the iron grip of a businessman, she can handle any failures and any achievements.

Parents

In the Zakharov family, who gave birth to Svetlana Maniovich, who received this unusual surname from her first husband, everyone was hereditary engineers.

Svetlana's father and mother walked through life side by side. After graduating together from the Moscow State Technical University named after N. E. Bauman, they became employees of one of the closed enterprises engaged in increasing the country's defense capability. Their work was so secret that even the daughter could not fully understand the nature of their specific occupation. One day, my father nevertheless betrayed to Svetlana the state secret he had kept for many years, and she, in turn, told it to the whole world: “The Soviet past is behind us, and the satellites that my dad launched seem to still fly and transmit important information to Earth.

In the photobelow you can see Svetlana Zakharova (Maniovich) with her parents and son Mikhail.

The father and mother of our heroine were the true keepers of the old-fashioned family traditions of the Soviet past, by and large consisting in the fact that the family is a capsule closed from the outside world, the entrance to which can only be opened for the closest people.

This rule was the first in the life of their young blonde smiling daughter, and she tried to stick to it all her life.

Svetlana

The exact date of birth of Svetlana Maniovich, nee Zakharova, is not known for certain. However, thanks to information from her numerous interviews, it is not difficult to calculate the year in which the future socialite was born.

So, our heroine was born in Moscow in 1972, in addition to this joyful event, also notable for such significant episodes in the history of the country as the start of production of the Zhiguli car, the launch of the first Salyut orbital station, the opening of the Moscow Circus on the Lenin Hills and the farewell match of the legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin.

Unlike her calm and balanced parents, their daughter Svetlana was by nature more of a rebel with a slight admixture of dissidence, who from childhood discovered the talent to defend her own point of view, even if it diverged from generally accepted norms.

Therefore, instead ofIn order to follow in the footsteps of her father and mother, after graduating from school with a mathematical bias, Svetlana Maniovich decided to enter the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation. Parents did not interfere with the will of their daughter. In front of the door of the selection committee, my father only told Svetlana: "Further on, you can only count on us as parents; unfortunately, I can't help you behind this door."

Meanwhile, the 90s inevitably came. In the renewing country, they suddenly remembered the economy and the banking system, and the profession of a financier chosen by Svetlana became extremely in demand. The students of the Financial Academy, where she studied, the businessmen of the new Russia began to sort out almost from the second year.

Below you can see a photo from the biography of Svetlana Maniovich during her student days and early career.

90s

The heroine of this article's first career experiences began very early. Having worked as a financial director of the H. G. S. company, which at that time occupied a leading position in the printing products market, she went to a branch of one of the foreign banks, after some time left the country altogether and went to study and work in London.

However, Svetlana did not stop being burdened by work for hire, contrary to her character, which does not tolerate too cruel limits and the lack of a creative component. The girl needed freedom and her own business, which, in turn, was supposed not only to generate income, but also in a mandatoryOK to be associated with something beautiful and beautiful, like fashion.

After a relatively short time, Svetlana really entered this business, becoming one of the participants in fashion retail.

In those years, there was no significant difference between a stall in the market and some boutique in the center of the capital. Fashion trends for ordinary residents of Moscow were dictated only by speculators and shuttle traders.

Therefore, the business started by Svetlana Maniovich in the most expensive segment of the fine clothing market came in handy. Working exclusively with individual and we althy clients, instead of the already familiar brands, our heroine began to bring and actively promote brands such as Blumarine and Roberto Cavalli, which were not yet known to Moscow fashionistas and fashionistas in the 90s. The main partners of the young entrepreneur were such start-up brands as the French Mugler, as well as the Italian Dsquared2 and Shirò, which subsequently gained worldwide fame.

Mikhail Maniovich

By the time she met her future husband Mikhail Maniovich in 1993, Svetlana, who at that time had the surname Zakharova, worked as the financial director of the H. G. S. printing company.

Odessite Mikhail Yakovlevich Maniovich, as a child, emigrated from the USSR with his parents and was a citizen of Israel, where he received a law degree. By the nature of his advocacy, in the 80s, Maniovich began to come to Russia often. In the nineties, Mikhail left law and switched to the printing business, which resulted in his acquaintance withstudent Svetlana, employed in the same field of activity.

In 1994 they got married, Svetlana took the name of her husband, a businessman.

Mikhail, Svetlana Maniovich's first husband, can be seen in the photo below.

It was quite a difficult marriage in every respect. Mikhail was a fairly experienced and accomplished businessman. Svetlana, who at that time was a graduate student at the Financial Academy, was torn between her studies and work at the H. G. S. and her own ambitions that do not allow her to be just a quiet obedient wife of her husband.

During their marriage, the couple had two children - a son, Mikhail, named after his father, and a daughter, Alexandra.

Maniovich was sixteen years older than his wife. To all the disagreements that arose between him and Svetlana, he said: "When you married a man much older than yourself, you knew what you were doing."

The same thing, only in reverse order by age, Svetlana told him, who believed that with such a difference in age, spouses can harmoniously coexist in marriage only if they make concessions to each other.

However, both of them were businessmen, and it was fundamentally not in their rules to yield to anyone.

Career

Soon, Svetlana Maniovich finally got tired of printing and hired labor, even if she was in a well-paid position. The girl decided to start her own fashion retail business.clothes.

Svetlana's first boutique was opened at the Metropol Hotel. Despite the fact that later he spoke about his participation in the development of his wife’s business, her already ex-husband Mikhail, in fact, businessman Artem Malevsky, who later tragically died in an accident during his tourist trip to South Africa, helped Svetlana to open her own business. Artem became not only a companion for Mikhail's wife, but also a close friend, and his death was a terrible blow for Svetlana.

With the support of Malevsky, a network of fashion boutiques was created, united into a single commercial company "Prestige", which sold clothing from such well-known world brands as Blumarine, Yohji Yamamoto, Roberto Cavalli, DSquared2 and Luisa Beccaria.

Meet Timur

Fate brought our heroine together with her current husband Timur Ivanov quite by accident.

It happened during the Fresh Art fashion show held at the elite Prado cafe. As Svetlana Maniovich herself later said, she, along with her friend, was late for this event, so she was forced to run to her seats right across the podium. Timur was in the hall, instantly fascinated by the bright blonde.

During the show, he unsuccessfully tried to make eye contact with the girl several times, and two weeks later invited her to a business meeting about the launch of a new fashion magazine.

Svetlana Timur, who flew into the office, met with a huge bouquet of flowers. This was followed by romantic trips around Italy, dinners to the sound of the cello and expensive gifts that even Mikhail Maniovich could not afford.

As a result, Svetlana decided to divorce.

Timur Ivanov

Who was this new chosen one of our heroine? He was born on August 15, 1975. Like Svetlana herself, he began his career while still studying at the Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics where he graduated in 1997.

The first place of his work was the bank "Renaissance Capital". Then Timur created a company for the development of banking software for trading floors of the securities market, after which licensing of high technologies fell into the scope of his interests. A year after graduation, Ivanov unexpectedly got a job at the Ministry of Atomic Energy.

When Svetlana appeared in his life, Timur's already successful career rushed up like a rocket. In 2012, he was appointed to the position of Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region, and a year later he became the General Director of the infamous Oboronstroy JSC, having worked in it until 2016.

May 23, 2016 Timur Ivanov became Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu.

How was this sudden career growth connected with the beginning of a romantic relationship withSvetlana Maniovich, whose age at the time of their first meeting was already thirty-six years old, and whether this was just a coincidence, we are unlikely to find out. Svetlana herself says the following about this: "Some of my friends believe that I bring good luck."

However, all of the above achievements of the new chosen one of the heroine will only be in the future, but in the meantime she had to endure a painful divorce from Mikhail Maniovich.

Breaking off relations with Michael

The divorce dragged on for a long seven months. Truly loving Mikhail did not want to let her go, and in desperation began to make unsuccessful attempts to return his wife. He forbade their joint children from leaving Russia, depriving Svetlana and his rival Timur of the opportunity to travel the world. For the sake of his wife, he even lost forty kilograms, starting to actively engage in sports.

Not knowing what to do, Svetlana broke off relations with Timur and returned to Mikhail again. When this happened, Timur accelerated on his motorcycle and got into a terrible accident, receiving many injuries and a concussion. He turned gray, and only a miracle saved his life.

After that, Svetlana was forced to live in two families, until the very moment of breaking off relations with Mikhail, trying to explain to him that they simply cannot be together.

Then she went to Timur, taking only the children, clothes and a few icons.

Marriage

Timur Ivanov before meeting with Svetlana was also not free. However, he managed to leave the family quietly anddelicately, chivalrously leaving everything to his ex-wife.

He made a marriage proposal to Svetlana at the end of 2009. This happened in the church of the village of Sychevka, not far from Smolensk. The ring from the Daniel K collection with a ten-carat diamond, which he put on the bride’s finger in honor of the engagement, was delivered from New York a day before the solemn moment. A month later, in January 2010, they got married.

Soon, Timur and Svetlana became one of the most luxurious couples of Russian bohemia. Their pages on social networks were filled with colorful photographs from all over the world. London, Courchevel, Africa, Japan, French fashion boutiques, dinner parties, presentations and resorts - this has become their happy family life.

From the very beginning of their relationship, the couple's luxurious lifestyle and well-being have been the subject of much gossip. Timur, according to an established tradition, every morning continues to give his beloved Svetlana an indecently huge bouquet of roses.

Children

Today, Svetlana Zakharova (Maniovich), whose age we will not name for ethical reasons, is raising Alexandra and Mikhail, her children from her first marriage, together with her husband Timur.

A year after the wedding, Svetlana gave birth to her husband's daughter Daria. All of them are friends with Ivanov's children from the former family.

February 5, 2018 Svetlana became a mother for the fourth time. The couple had a daughter, Praskovya.

The most important thing that Svetlana wants to pass on to her children is the ability to treat life correctly, and in any turmoil or adversity to maintain faith, hope and love.
