Igor Vdovin: biography
Lawyer, Doctor of Science, businessman and chairman of prestigious investment centers. But it is not thanks to these merits that Igor Vdovin became known to the general public. The star wife Anastasia Volochkova cast an aura of scandalousness over the man. It was precisely thanks to his marriage to the ballerina, or rather the high-profile separation, that the businessman became the hero of gossip columns.

Childhood and youth
Igor Aleksandrovich was born in the capital of Kazakhstan Alma-Ata (now Almaty) in 1964. The boy’s childhood was no different from the ordinary childhood of a Soviet schoolchild. The future lawyer studied diligently and diligently, and after school he entered the Kuban Law University.

In 1995 he received a law degree. Without completing his scientific career, the young man joined the ranks of graduate students at the Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in St. Petersburg. Four years after receiving his diploma, he defends his dissertation and becomes a candidate of science. Vdovin received his doctorate in 2002.
Business
The active young man began to build his career early. In 1992, while still a student, he started working. Six years later, he holds the prestigious position of chairman of the private equity investment board of a non-profit partnership at the Center for Legal and Investment Programs.

Further success in business is also related to investment policy. In 2001, the young entrepreneur received a post at the NAPI investment agency. The businessman is directly related to government structures, holding the position of Deputy Chairman of the Public Council in the Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation. In addition, Vdovin remains a member of the board of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
The other day we wrote that ballerina Anastasia Volochkova introduced her fiance, businessman Igor Vdovin, to the guests at her birthday. By the way, there was a wedding ring on his hand. Immediately after this publication, Nastya’s mother called the editorial office: Tamara Vladimirovna spoke unflatteringly about her future son-in-law. They say he is a swindler and, most importantly, wants to become famous at the expense of Volochkova. Well, yesterday a completely unexpected call rang out at Komsomolskaya Pravda. — Hello, my name is Ekaterina. I am a close friend of Igor Vdovin’s wife. - But is Vdovin married?!
“He lived for several years in a civil marriage with a beautiful girl, Elena.
Igor even planned to register his relationship with Lena, but, apparently, it was not fate. - Why then does he wear a wedding ring?
— Volochkova gave him this ring.
She screwed him when Lena was pregnant. - So Vdovin also has children?!!
- He is a father of many children.
Igor and Elena have three children: a girl and two boys. The eldest daughter is in first grade, and the youngest boy recently turned six months old. By the way, Volochkova knew from the very beginning that Vdovin had a common-law wife and children. — Does Elena herself know that her husband is having an affair with Anastasia Volochkova?
- Of course... He left the family when the youngest son was not yet born.
Lena just threw up her hands. And she said to me: “Well, if Igor has met his love, then I wish him happiness.” She is a very kind person. Now he doesn’t work anywhere - he takes care of children. — Does Vdovin help Elena and the children?
— He often comes to them.
But his betrayal was a big blow for Lena... DIRECT SPEECH Igor VDOVIN: I acted honestly towards my wife ! To clarify the situation at least a little, we turned to Anastasia’s fiancé himself for comments. Igor was extremely frank: “Yes, I was not officially married.” Elena and I lived in a civil marriage. Well, the fact that I have children... there’s nothing special about that! — How did you decide to leave three children? — Of course, such a decision is not easy. But it seems to me that every person should be honest towards those people for whom he is responsible. And honesty lies in telling openly, perhaps not the most pleasant, but the truth. Therefore, I told Lena about my decision as soon as my relationship with Volochkova was determined. As for the ring... Nastya really gave it to me. And she received a ring from me in return. Consider it an engagement. KP, 01/27/2005

Personal life
The increased interest in the biography of a businessman is caused by his intense personal life, full of scandals and omissions. The husband of star ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, after separating from his wife, became the hero of scandals and gossip columns.
Before meeting the famous dancer, Igor was already married and had three children in the family. As Volochkova herself assures, she maintained relations with her husband’s children from her first marriage and never opposed her father’s communication with them. The story of the lovers began romantically and beautifully. Igor threw bouquets of roses at the feet of his prima donna and attended the ballerina’s performances.

In 2005, the couple had a daughter, Ariadne. Two years later, the Volochkova-Vdovin couple decided to legitimize their relationship and had a luxurious wedding. The bride changed her outfits and glowed with sincere happiness. Just a year after this, the family broke up. After the separation, the former spouses admitted that the ceremony was staged fictitiously and there were no official signatures and seals in the passports.
Some time later, the businessman met a new love. Igor Vdovin’s chosen one was the aspiring rock singer Varvara Demidova, who came to conquer the capital’s musical elite from the Ural city of Perm. By the way, the singer is 17 years younger than the entrepreneur.

For a couple of years, the lovers kept their relationship a secret, trying not to advertise or publicize their own happiness. Vdovin gave the girl luxurious gifts, surprised her with romantic surprises and went crazy with love. A huge bouquet of daisies in the middle of a harsh winter, a red deer under the windows of the house instead of the usual and annoying drunkards. The businessman was ready to move mountains just to make the girl happy.
The couple got married in 2020. This time the marriage was real, with rings and seals. However, already in 2020, the couple divorced without explaining the reasons to the press and the public. This time the union did not bring children.

However, the successful businessman was not lonely for long. Igor Vdovin’s new chosen one was the eccentric rock singer Varvara Demidova, a native of Perm who came to conquer the capital with her talent. By the way, the girl was 17 years younger than her lover. For a couple of years, the lovers kept their close relationship a secret from the press and others, without advertising their romance.

Igor won the girl’s favor with gorgeous gifts, delighted her with incredible surprises and was simply overwhelmed with love. To ensure that the object of his admiration was satisfied with everything, Vdovin was ready to do any kind of madness.
Scandals
Anastasia Volochkova shared details of her family life and separation with the press. As it turned out, according to her, life with Igor was not so cloudless, and the stage star considered herself an innocent victim.

One of the first confessions was a shocking statement about her husband’s joining the Yoga House sect, which relegated both family and love to the background. As Komsomolskaya Pravda wrote, having decided to check whether the businessman and family man had really become an incorrigible sectarian, the correspondent met Igor’s yoga instructor. According to the publisher, it was the woman, and not yoga at all, that was the reason for the departure of the head of the family. Later the ballerina confirmed this version.
Another high-profile scandal is associated with a large sum of money, which, according to Volochkova, was owed by her ex-husband. According to the ex-wife, the couple met not in the most profitable times for the businessman. Due to the emerging economic crisis, things were going badly, and Igor persuaded his wife to take out a loan for $3 million. Anastasia, madly in love, agreed, on the condition that a million of this money would be spent on the wedding ceremony.

Volochkova shares with journalists that after breaking up, Igor does not consider it necessary to repay the debt, and this puts the ballet dancer in a deplorable financial situation. Volochkova mentions in an interview that, having met the businessman halfway, she suggested that her husband “work off his financial obligation,” portraying for PR purposes a semblance of family reconciliation.
Photos of a family happily spending time together have appeared on the Internet. The businessman himself, commenting on his ex-wife’s accusations, noted that he pays the ballerina $50 thousand monthly. In addition, Volochkova voluntarily invested the money in some investments; the entrepreneur himself does not have any loans or debts to his ex-wife. Who is right in this difficult situation remains a mystery.

Another scandal caused by another high-profile statement by the ballerina was Vdovin’s accusation of organizing a robbery of the house where the star and his daughter were staying. While the family was away, the house was attacked, the safe was opened and the ballerina's valuables were stolen.
According to Anastasia, Igor knew what and where he was in the robbed house, so suspicion should fall on him first. Vdovin, indignantly, retorted that before accusations of involvement were received, he made every effort to find the perpetrators, using connections and acquaintances. The wife’s words shocked the respected lawyer.

The ballerina's ex-husband Igor Vdovin, apparently, chooses only famous women as his life partners. After breaking up with Anastasia, the businessman married rock singer Varvara Demidova, but the union did not last long: two years ago the couple separated. Now Vdovin has a new romance, which he and his passion are carefully hiding for now.
As StarHit learned, the chosen one of the 55-year-old entrepreneur was the 33-year-old presenter of the program “Morning of Russia” Elena Nikolaeva.
“They have been dating for about a year,” they told StarHit, surrounded by the “Russia 1” star. — Some time ago we started living together. Igor even rented a huge apartment in the center of Moscow for the sake of his beloved.”

Despite the fact that Vdovin is not directly involved in business now, he teaches at the Higher School of Economics and speaks at various forums as an investment expert. But, apparently, the man’s finances are not very good - after all, the debt to his ex-wife in the amount of $3 million was never repaid.
In February, the ballerina filed a police report against Vdovin. According to the artist, her ex-husband allegedly defrauded her of money.
“On the evening of February 11, Anastasia Volochkova contacted us and asked to prosecute Igor Vdovin, born in 1964. According to her, the representative of the Astrakhan City Resort company, Vdovin, misled her and took possession of her money - 67 million rubles and 500 thousand dollars. The total amount of damage is about 100 million rubles,” law enforcement officials said.
In addition, it was clarified that Igor suggested that Volochkova invest the specified amount in the business, but this did not bring any income to the ballerina, after which she decided that she had become a victim of fraud.

If Igor does not maintain contact with Anastasia, then he devotes enough time to his common child: he has already introduced his new lover to his daughter Ariadne.
“They get along well,” continues Nikolaeva’s friend. — Arisha periodically visits them at home. Lena has found a common language with her and is trying to keep the girl occupied and entertained. And he can cook a delicious dinner. She doesn’t have her own children yet, and she hasn’t set a goal to get married. They are in complete harmony with Igor, so maybe we’ll have a wedding soon.”
Igor Vdovin now
The life of the scandalously popular entrepreneur is still flowing in a calm direction. Having recovered from breaking up with his next wife, Vdovin communicates with his children, devotes himself to work and is not noticed in any scandals. In September 2020, at the birthday celebration of Ariadna's daughter, the rival ladies, Volochkova and Demidova, seemed to have made peace. As can be seen from numerous reports, the communication turned out to be peaceful and friendly.

A lover of surprising and shocking the public, Volochkova periodically recalls the scandal with her financial debt, complaining that she does not have the means to maintain her home and daughter. But the story has not yet been continued; Vdovin still denies the existence of financial obligations.
