At birth, Naina Iosifovna was recorded as Anastasia, but everyone called her Naya or Naina. When she already started working, everyone began to call her by her first name and patronymic. At the age of 25, she officially changed her name to Naina at the passport office, because she could not get used to the official address at the service “Anastasia Iosifovna”.

She married Boris Yeltsin, her classmate, in 1956. Interestingly, Anastasia's parents were against her marriage to the builder Boris Yeltsin, but they maintained her relationship with the future space explorer Yuri Gagarin, with whom she met for several months.

Boris Yeltsin on his wife: “She has always shied away from publicity. These traits of her character - modesty, tact, humanity - people feel from those few and very laconic interviews that she gave to television, from those rare public appearances when she accompanied me. They feel - and are drawn to her. "

Mikhail Poltoranin argued that Yeltsin's wife influenced the personnel policy in the country's leadership.

Boris Yeltsin: “When Naina goes to an orphanage, or to a children's hospital, or to a hospital to see her favorite actress, she never tells anyone about it. She sincerely considers charity and good deeds to be her private business. "

The first lady of the dashing 1990s before the wedding with "Tsar" Boris met with Gagarin

With rare exceptions, everyone who in different years personally communicated with the wife of the first President of Russia Boris YELTSIN speaks of his wife the same way - "simple and cordial." One of these days Naina Iosifovna will celebrate her 80th anniversary. And on April 23, the five-year anniversary of the death of the main person of her life, who so changed the history of our country, is coming, that it is better not for her to go out without protection. And perhaps in a series of these memorable dates, the successor of her husband as President of Russia and the newly elected head of state will make an exception for the widow of his predecessor and her family - he will not deprive him of privileges.

Much has been written about the wife of the first President of Russia, but very little is known - this woman is so wise. But here is a remarkable fact, especially significant for those who believe in the invisible connection of name and fate, as well as in the mystery of baptism.

Became innocent

Old Believer Spouses Maria and Joseph Girins bore highly revered Orthodox biblical names. The daughter, born on March 14, 1932, was given a rare name Naina, translated from Hebrew - innocent. He was not in the calendar, and at baptism the girl was named Anastasia - translated from Greek - resurrecting.

Persecution of Old Believers during Joseph Stalin and up to 1972 were even larger than the Orthodox. It would be easier for her to live with the name Anastasia Iosifovna. And parents Naina Girina recorded it in the documents. She studied with him, but she introduced herself to everyone as Naya - beautifully, briefly. And at the age of 25, already married and working, she suddenly went to the registry office and changed her long name in her passport to a short Naina - they say, so that it would be easier for colleagues to call her by her first name and patronymic. However, the name given to her from birth himself Pushkinimmortalized in "Ruslan and Lyudmila" as the name of the fatal and "evil woman, witch." In Russia, it was considered cursed.

Naina's parental family was haunted by a series of tragedies. First, her older brother got into a car accident, soon the car hit her second brother - sickly and hunchbacked, then her father died under the wheels of a motorcycle.

Brother Yeltsin - Mikhail, now deceased, in an exclusive interview with "Express Gazeta" when asked why Boris Nikolaevich chose Naina Iosifovna as his wife, answered simply: "Because Naya chose him." And he gave the most flattering characterization to the wife of his beloved brother, who in his youth replaced his father, and in the presidency, because of the predatory anti-popular reforms and drunkenness, became a continuous pain.

According to Mikhail Nikolayevich, the whole big Yeltsin family, in which "everything went somehow awry in Moscow", was based on the kindness, patience and care of Naina. He himself lived very modestly, "from the garden and orchard", on a regular pension, refused the help of his brother, believed that "Boris was not engaged in his own business and it is fortunate that Naya is next to him." Mikhail categorically refused to comment on the famous fall of Boris Yeltsin from the bridge, when he was walking to his mistress with flowers, and someone allegedly threw a bag over his head and threw it into the river.

And to this day, no one knows how Naina Iosifovna reacted to that almost feuilleton story of September 28, 1989, which was supposed to open Russia's eyes to the frivolity of the personality of the most popular political figure of that time - the time of rallies and the desire for change.

Everyone remembered how Yeltsin in 1987 at the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU criticized Gorbachev, for which he was immediately demoted from the post of secretary of the CPSU Central Committee to deputy chairman of the State Construction Committee. Because of what he ended up in the hospital with a hypertensive crisis and even wanted to commit suicide - to stab himself with scissors, but then he got cold feet and only got scratched. This farce was then perceived as a tragedy with a happy ending. On July 2, 1991, Yeltsin became President of Russia. His wife never wore a perm again and began to dress in a classic style. Coco Chanel.

Gagarin preferred Boris

Classmates of Naina and Boris at the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI) did not even notice how and when Naya “chose” Yeltsin - a merry fellow and a ringleader, an unconditional leader, initiator of many good undertakings. For example, playing volleyball before the start of classes, a "common cash desk" into which everyone was dropped off so that the girls could cook for everyone every day and no one went hungry. Before that, the guys often drank the scholarship together at the entrance.

Girls always curled around Yeltsin. He was an inventor. On a motor ship in white swimming trunks and packs of towels, with gauze caps on his head, together with three guys, he performed the dance of little swans. He announced a competition for the most beautiful male legs, was the first to be naked, but lost and could not believe it.

How in such an atmosphere it was possible not to notice the leader's romance with Naina, only she herself knows. But he does not reveal secrets in his interviews. He says they met for five years. Then, before Yeltsin left for assignment to Verkhnyaya Iset, they first kissed in the foyer of the cinema, and Boris made an offer.

Her family did not come to the wedding. They wanted their daughter to marry Yuri Gagarin - Naya met a cadet of the Orenburg Flight School on the dance floor, having come home on vacation. She and his parents liked, but no one would have known about this story if Gagarin had not flown into space. The whole world was waiting for TV reports then, and her friend was not surprised that Naina was somehow unusually excited. Until she blurted out: "This is it!" And then I had to tell at least something.

By that time, Yeltsin was already a foreman at the Uraltyazhtrubstroy trust, and Naina worked at Vodokanalproekt, where she served for more than 25 years and from where she retired at 55.

At their wedding there was a banner from a volleyball net: "So that you don't have grief, multiply, Naya and Borya!" The young husband dreamed of a son, and was born Elena... Yeltsin swore to his friends that he would not stop until he had a son. Intending to conceive him, he put an ax and a cap under his pillow. But was born Tatyana... And although she became a favorite, Yeltsin drank for three days and suggested that his wife not give birth again.

During these years, he left home so early and returned so late that the neighbors considered Naina a single mother. When, on some holiday, the whole family left the entrance, the neighbors began to congratulate her on the long-awaited marriage.

And she did not tell anyone that her husband disappears not only at work, but in the evenings he trains the UPI women's volleyball team until late.

During these years, Mikhail also lived in his brother's family - Boris forced him to study. He knew perfectly well how many reasons for jealousy Borya Naya gave, how many worries he put on her shoulders, but, according to him, he never heard a word of murmur from her, or complaints of fatigue.

Family twists and turns

In Moscow, everything really went awry.

The already withdrawn Naina had to hide the fact that both her daughters got married early and soon after the birth of their children became divorced - as in the Urals they called women abandoned by their husbands. Elena's 18-year-old husband did not even come to the hospital to meet her and her daughter Katya... Tatyana, who studied at Moscow State University, also fell in love with a classmate Vilena Khairullina, gave birth to a son Boris, took an academic leave and went to Sverdlovsk to visit her parents. And Vilen's father took his son to Ufa - away from temptations. There he had another son from a local girl. Tatiana filed for divorce. The second marriage of the daughters of the Yeltsin took control. Elena got a pilot Valeria Okulova - the current oligarch from Aeroflot. In Sverdlovsk he is survived by a wife and two children.

And Tatiana met a colleague in the service Leonid Dyachenko... He kissed her so much that Naina Iosifovna, deprived of the manly affection of her busy husband, once exclaimed: "If my husband kissed me as your Lesha did you ..." But this marriage did not work out either. Grandson Glebwas born with autism. Doctors suggested that Tatiana leave him in the clinic, but Naina Iosifovna said: "No way!" When the daughter became the right hand of her father in the election race and all the intrigues of political hassle broke into their house, the wife of Yeltsin, who had gone into an endless binge, again took on many of the hardships of this period of family power fever.

It has long been rumored in secular circles that Yeltsin is beating his wife. Can drop off on the way home from a party from the car for an innocent woman's question: "Boris, why did you cuddle with that blonde?" Or shout at her in front of foreigners: "Cow!" However, according to her former press secretary Natalia Konstantinova, “Naina Yeltsina carries her husband like a crystal vase. He only lets her do it. "

Soon she began to protect her husband from all his "well-wishers" and any information that might upset him. According to the deputy Alexander Khinshtein, most of the officials who came to report to the president first passed through Naina Iosifovna's sieve. For example, Deputy Prime Minister Poltoranin she categorically pointed out who should be appointed and where, and forbade television coverage of the shooting of the White House. The faithful spouse announced the decisions of her husband or her own - this, too, only she knows. According to the former head of the presidential security service Alexandra KorzhakovaShe would not let Yeltsin go anywhere without herself: "Where Yeltsin goes, Naina goes there." The president's entourage even began to wonder who is in charge of this family and who is ruling the country - Yeltsin or his wife.

But here at least Tatyana was finally lucky - she fell in love with a journalist Valentina Yumasheva... Writing down her father's memories, he became his favorite and ended up in the "team of young reformers." And after Yeltsin's victory in the 1996 presidential election, he was appointed first as an adviser and then head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. In 2001, his daughter from his first marriage to a journalist Irina Vedeneeva - Polina - married an oligarch Oleg Deripaska... And she became Yeltsin's “adopted granddaughter”. In April 2002, more children were added to the Yeltsin family: Polina gave birth to Petya, followed by her stepmother Tatiana Yumasheva gave birth to Masha, then Masha appeared at Polina's. The Okulovs also tried: four children, Yeltsin's grandchildren. Katya and Maria added two great-grandchildren to the family - Sasha and Misha. Dmitry and Ivan are still ahead.

When Yeltsin died, Naina Iosifovna survived thanks to the abundance of those who still need her care.

New shocks

In memory of her husband, this wise woman goes to tennis tournaments, travels to his homeland and everywhere where the first President of Russia is honored and gymnasiums named after him or libraries are opened. Outwardly, everything is fine today, but recently the Internet, in which Naina Iosifovna spends a lot of time, shook the news, as if Polina Deripaska divorces her husband. And this is a serious blow to the family of Tatiana and Valentin Yumashev. After all, Oleg Deripaska is considered her "wallet".

Journalists suspect that Polina, whom her husband forces to spend more time in London, began an affair with Alexander Mamut - A 52-year-old businessman who is also rightfully considered the financial patron of the Yeltsin family during the scandals of the 1990s. Electronic publications are spreading sharp comments from Tatyana Yumasheva. Polina's “adoptive mother” in an interview with “Le Figaro” said that she herself had forbidden Polina to divorce, fearing that in the event of a divorce, Deripaska would rewrite all his debts to her husband. “He is a very calculating person, what the people call a rogue. He now has several billion dollars in debt, and he is ready to do anything to write off at least a part, ”the daughter of the first President of Russia announced to French journalists. But the stepdaughter did not comment on the rumor about the novel.

In addition, rumors are spread on the World Wide Web that an unsuccessful arrival Mikhail Prokhorov in "Just Cause" is a failed business project of Valentin Yumashev. And then the fifth anniversary of the death of Boris Nikolaevich is approaching. And this means that the term of guarantees for the President of the Russian Federation and members of the Yeltsin family, determined by law, is also expiring. In accordance with which the widow, two daughters, and six grandchildren, within five years after the death of the Russian leader, are entitled to free medical and sanatorium treatment and special transport. If you have to pay for all this yourself, it will be a pretty penny.

One hope for the mercy of the President of Russia - in 2007 he had already stopped the arrogance of officials who, on the eve of the fortieth century, demanded that Naina Iosifovna immediately release the state dacha in Barvikha.

Of course, there was nothing new in this requirement. Boris Yeltsin himself did not stand on ceremony with the defeated Gorbachev and his relatives. No sooner had Mikhail Sergeevich left his Kremlin office than Raisa Maksimovna called him. And she said that a certain delegation had come to their house and forced the guards to open the apartment for an inventory of the property. Things are pulled out to the site, without waiting for the owners. Alexander Korzhakov in his book assured that the main engine in this shameless venture was Naina Yeltsina. One way or another, but immediately after the resignation of the first and last president of the USSR, the guards, Zil, were taken away, their phones were removed, and medical services were denied. Yeltsin fought with privileges! But today is a different time in the yard: "privilege" is just an outdated word, practically out of circulation. So why not leave them if they become the norm?

Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin is a very famous, bright and extraordinary personality, whose behavior, of course, caused laughter or admiration.

Boris Nikolaevich was the first President of the Russian Federation to carry out tough reforms during the collapse of the USSR.

Many people still hate him for this, considering him guilty of the crisis, the hungry and crazy nineties. The rest give a standing ovation, because they understand that it was impossible to act otherwise at that moment. One way or another, there are not and will not be indifferent to this person.

The boy was a ringleader and activist, he not only studied well, but was also a headman. The boy was not afraid to defend his point of view and even raised a riot against his teacher, who beat schoolchildren and demanded to work in her garden. Because of this incident, the seventh grader Boris was expelled from school with a wolf ticket, however, he did not give up.

Childhood and youth

For a couple of namesakes Joseph and Maria Girin, Nastya became the firstborn. The father was sure that the eldest daughter would become a teacher - Anastasia Iosifovna. Since it would be difficult for the students to pronounce such a name and patronymic, the father called his daughter Naya, Naina. Naina Yeltsina is Russian by nationality. Naya helped her mother raise her younger brothers and sister Rosa.

Eighteen-year-old Naya went to Sverdlovsk to enter the construction department of the Ural Polytechnic Institute named after ... Here the freshman and met a tall, athletic - future husband. Romantic feelings flared up in the second year, but the girl did not immediately become Yeltsin.

The future president was jokingly interested in Nai's other fans and offered to marry, but the matter did not go beyond words.

Personal life
