Lenina's family lived in the academic town. The girl studied at a school with in-depth study of the French language. After graduation, Lena entered the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics of Novosibirsk State University, and at the same time continued to study French.
The girl’s entrepreneurial talent manifested itself already in her student years. At the age of 19, Lenina opened a company producing commercials and television programs.
After university, Lena set off to conquer Moscow.
Lena Lenina was appointed editor-in-chief of the women's portal WomanHit
Lena Lenina is known to the general public as the author of more than two dozen bestsellers about the lives of the rich and famous, as well as a columnist for many secular publications. In the business community, Lena Lenina is known as an entrepreneur and owner of more than two hundred salons and franchises of the Lena Lenina Manicure Studio Network.
The wider public remembers Lena Lenina for her extravagant hairstyles, with which she annually shocks not only television viewers in our country, but also photographers from all over the world at the Cannes Film Festival. Ms. Lenina even manages to get the press to write about her hair more often than about the film program of the Cannes Film Festival, to such an extent that the British Telegraph last May wrote: “Without Elena Lenina, Cannes is no longer Cannes.”
Lena Lenina became the most suitable candidate for the post of editor-in-chief of the women's portal WomanHit because, on the one hand, she interviewed a huge number of rich and famous and collaborated with many secular publications as a journalist and columnist, and on the other hand, she herself is a celebrity and therefore he is often “on the other side of the barricades,” knowing very well the life of the stars. Therefore, with the arrival of the new editor-in-chief of WomanHit, we can hope that celebrities will begin to trust the portal with their secrets much more often.
Lena Lenina herself commented on the news of her appointment on Instagram @lenaleninaofficial: “For me this is a great honor and a great responsibility. I am ready not only to manage, but also to write a lot for WomanHit. I have long loved this women's portal for its beautiful design and subtle style of presentation of materials. And now I will be happy to actively work to ensure that my star comrades give, first of all, all the brightest sensations and news to us. I am eternally grateful to the owner of the Moskovsky Komsomolets media holding, Pavel Gusev, for his trust. Therefore, I pledge to jump over my head, despite the height of my hair, so that we can be the best in everything!”
Lena Lenina was born on October 25, 1979 in the Siberian Akademgorodok, in the family of a professor, academician, laureate of the State Prize and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for outstanding achievements in the field of science. She started her career working as a fashion model. Then she created her own advertising production company.
She has lived in Paris for the last ten years, and last year she moved to the Cambridge village in New Riga near Moscow. Divorced, raising a son from her first marriage. Has the largest network of manicure franchises in the country. Winner of the Moscow Entrepreneurs Club "Innovation in PR" award. She has written and published 24 books in the French book publishing houses “Grasset”, “Du Rocher”, “Florent Massot”, “Michel Lafon” and in the Russian publishing houses “Eksmo”, “AST”, “Niola-Press”, “Ardis”. Lenina is the host of major social events with the participation of celebrities. Russian stars - Joseph Kobzon, Nikolai Baskov and 20 other celebrities - in 2012 gave her the “Best Eventor in the Country” award. She established her own personalized Lenin Prize, which she awards annually to patrons and artists.
Critic Artemy Troitsky called Lena Lenina “a bright and extraordinary character of the Russian elite. This is a truly self-made woman, which is unique for our patriarchal-sexist society.” Behind her, the music critic believes, there are no oligarchs, no rich lovers, no famous dynasty, no sophisticated producer. Her assistants are a spectacular appearance, subtle intuition, a “non-blond” mind and powerful drive.
“Lenina’s favorite format is light, uplifting reading about how to live your young life sensually and beautifully... It entertains some, inspires others, and can help others in life situations.”
“Lenina is a model and an oligarch rolled into one,” says Comedy host Pavel Volya.
The Western press often mentions Lena Lenina, calling her “the most famous in France” (“TV Magazine Figaro”, 03/07/2009).
“For some time now, the Cannes Film Festival has become not just an occasion for a meeting of the most famous Hollywood stars, but also a place where Elena Lenina shows off her breathtaking hairstyles,” wrote the Daily Mail in May 2015.
“Queen of Cannes! Thank God that Cannes exists, otherwise we wouldn't have the opportunity to see glamorous hairstyles every year. Maybe Cannes exists only because Elena Lenina exists? Ladies, take note - this is what a real star should look like!” (WixTrainment.com, 05/15/2016)
Business and creativity
Lenina's modeling career began during her student years. The director accidentally noticed an attractive girl 175 cm tall and weighing no more than 56 kg and invited her to an advertising project. Later, Lena herself showed interest and began acting as a model.
Having moved to Moscow, Lenina appeared on central TV. Several years passed, and she became the producer of the “Parisian Revelations” and “Business Fever” programs aired on TVC. Advertising became the business in which the woman made her initial capital.

In 2010, the model went into business and opened a chain of nail salons. The Lena Lenina Manicure Studio franchise cooperates with businessmen from different cities, allowing them to open salons under the brand name. Thus, over 7 years, more than a hundred manicure studios owned by the writer opened in 15 cities of Russia. On the official website of the salons you can find the nearest studio.
In 2011, Lenina appeared on the Ukraine TV channel as a TV presenter of the talk show “Who Wants to Marry My Son”, and in 2012 she appeared on Channel Eight - the author’s project “Reception at Lena Lenina’s” was released in Russia. The socialite still regularly appears on talk shows as an expert.
Every year, Lena attracts the attention of the press with her outrageous outfits and extravagant hairstyles on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
Transformation of salons: design and detailing
From that moment on, work began in the future network of the famous businesswoman. According to the heroine, she should have simply purchased a chain of manicure services already known in Russia at that time, invested some money in advertising and expected to make a profit.
However, Elena wanted not only to monitor the entire process of establishing a business, but also to take a direct part in it. The design of the salons was under the complete control of the beautiful and ambitious lady. According to her, it was necessary to come up with a unified style and design that could be seen throughout the entire network. To this end, she turned to professionals and hired French designers who helped think through the entire style of the premises, taking into account the features of placement, lighting and other details. This is how the new manicure from Lena Lenina became a kind of brand. Many people associate it with exquisite taste, beauty and superiority.
Personal life
The celebrity lives in France. Lenina moved her mother and son Klimenty there, whom she gave birth to while still a student, and raised the child herself. Today Clementy studies in France. In one of the interviews, Lenina admitted that she would give birth to more children, but she is afraid that Clementy will not like this idea, because his son is spoiled and does not tolerate competition.
Lena was credited with a relationship with pop singer Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. The source of rumors and confusion was the consonant names of Lena Lenina and Elena Lenskaya, Presnyakov’s ex-wife, with whom he was married from 2001 to 2005.

At one time it was rumored that Lenina became the last love of singer Alexander Barykin. Together the couple sang the song “I See You.”
In 2011, Lena married timber merchant and banker, millionaire Pascal Florent-Edouard. The wedding was celebrated in an ancient French castle. Lenina met her future husband at a reception with the Duke of Orleans. The newlyweds spent their honeymoon in Bali.
After the wedding, the couple lived in Pascal's mansion near Paris. The husband doted on his beautiful wife and promised to carry his wife in his arms. But in 2014, Lenina announced that she was divorcing the millionaire. The reason is the pathological jealousy of the spouse.
