Daughter of Ekaterina Klimova
The graduate of the Lomonosov School fell just short of the silver medal: Elizaveta Khoroshilova’s certificate had a “B” in biology, Russian and foreign. There were new exams ahead, for which Lisa’s star mother was preparing her. “Good luck to all students and patience to their parents. Everything will work out, you just need to try really hard. Lizochek, we believe in you,” Klimova wrote before the Unified State Exam.
Elizaveta did not boast about her results, but she expects high scores, since she plans to apply to Moscow State University or MGIMO. A year ago, the girl dreamed of studying here to become a diplomat; now she plans to study journalism.

Where and for what money do the children of Russian stars study?
Artists value an individual approach, so they try to carefully select those who will invest knowledge in their heirs. Since many cannot afford to monitor how their children cope with homework, priority is given to those educational institutions where the child can spend the whole day. The stars also want their offspring to be able to boast of perfect command of foreign languages when they graduate from school. Naturally, such requests come at a high price. Publication "Dni.ru"
made a selection of famous parents who are willing to pay cosmic sums for the education of their precious children.
Nadezhda Babkina
The grandchildren of Nadezhda Babkina study at the Yevgeny Primakov gymnasium in the village of Razdory, Odintsovo district. In this educational institution, children speak fluently both Russian and English. Teachers from the USA, Canada, England and Australia teach, so the children communicate with native speakers at least ten hours a week. The gymnasium has received International Baccalaureate accreditation, and children are admitted here only after entrance exams. In addition to the grandchildren of Nadezhda Babkina, the heirs of Anna Banshchikova, Garik Martirosyan, Mikhail Galustyan and Ksenia Borodina work here. An academic year costs parents 700 thousand rubles.
Dmitry Shepelev
This year the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev will go to second grade. For the past year, the boy attended an elite school with in-depth study of the English language. For his father, the priority is not only good teachers, delicious food in the canteen, but also tough security that can protect the heir from prying eyes. For this, the TV presenter is ready to pay 1.4 million rubles a year.
Anna Sedokova
Anna Sedokova's eldest daughter attends the Lomonosov school. The establishment has several branches in the Moscow region, for example, in the village of Voronino on Novorizhskoye Highway or in the village of Uspenskoye on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway. The gymnasium provides an individual curriculum, promises cool teachers and balls. The heirs of Irina Dubtsova, Mikhail Porechenkov, Vladimir Solovyov and Ekaterina Klimova also go to this school. During the school year, parents give 1,422,000 rubles.
Olga Kabo
The offspring of Olga Kabo, Mikhail Trukhin, Igor Lifanov and Stas Mikhailov attend a school with the ambitious name “Leader”. It is located on the territory of the closed village of Knyazhye Lake. There are no more than 16 children in each class, lessons start at nine in the morning and end no earlier than 17:30. During the day, schoolchildren manage to complete additional and homework assignments, and after that they can go to a section or club. The choice is tennis, gymnastics, karate, dancing, football, robotics, chess, foreign languages. The cost of training is 90 thousand rubles per month, as well as an initial payment of 900 thousand.
Alexander Revva
The daughters of Alexander Revva go to the Pavlovsk gymnasium in the city district of Istra. Children are taught throughout the day, so parents do not have problems with unlearned lessons. Additional activities include tennis, choreography, drawing and swimming. The school is also attended by the heirs of Glucose, Ani Lorak and the singer Slava. During the academic year, parents donate 1,475,000 rubles to the gymnasium treasury, and before admission they pay an advance payment of 205 thousand rubles.
Daughter of Valery Meladze
The youngest among the Meladze sisters, on the eve of the Unified State Exam 2020, almost did not leave her room in the house on Rublyovka, where she lives with her mother: she studied chemistry and biology. Arina wants to become a doctor, which she decided back in the 8th grade, and is preparing documents for admission to the First Medical School named after Sechenov and the Second Medical School for general medicine.
Between textbooks and classes with tutors, daughter Valeria Meladze was engaged in fitness and hand-to-hand combat, sometimes cooking (Arina graduated from culinary courses) - there was no time for entertainment. The girl has not yet boasted of her successes - she is waiting for enrollment.
“Right now the main thing for me is to apply for the budget, and then how will it go. Maybe I’ll open my own clinic in the future, or maybe I’ll go for an internship in another country,” said the star graduate.

The actress and singer studied in parallel classes, but spent enough time together - they played KVN. As Volkova recalls, they had a real gang: she, Sergei and two other guys. During preparation for the games, the team skipped classes more than once, for which all the teachers, except the strict headmistress, forgave them.

Daughter of Alexey Kravchenko
Ksenia, the adopted daughter of Alexei Kravchenko and the heiress of his wife Nadezhda Borisova (from his first marriage), is one of the most secretive star graduates.

The mother is also silent, only proudly showing her daughter in a graduation dress with a blue certificate in her hands.

Vladimir Putin
A high degree of education is one of the key characteristics of a candidate for the role of head of state. Moreover, it is important not only to know the theory, but also to skillfully apply it in practice. The main Russian celebrity, albeit not in show business, but in the political arena, has been improving all her life:
- Faculty of Law, Leningrad State University, specialty “International Law”;
- retraining at the State Security Committee at the Higher School of the KGB of the USSR named after. F. E. Dzerzhinsky;
- Red Banner Institute of the KGB of the USSR named after. Yu. V. Antropova.
That’s for sure: if you want to show how it’s done, do it yourself.
Intellectual development absolutely predetermines the human worldview, professional self-determination, and personal growth. There is, of course, a place for “nuggets” who make their way even without education, but modernity is such that a reliable rear in the form of a diploma of higher education is simply necessary.
Daughter of Lyubov Tolkalina
A year ago, the heiress of Lyubov Tolkalina and Yegor Konchalovsky could not choose where to go: art history at Moscow State University, artist at Repinka, set design at the Moscow Art Theater? The public had already seen her as a student at the Studio School and a future specialist in stage design and theater technology, wondering: it would be difficult. After all, only 10 people were recruited to the faculty based on the results of the Unified State Exam and additional tests.

But Maria Mikhalkova-Konchalovskaya acted differently: she took a break for a year. Now the brunette is again an applicant, but she is silent about her chosen university: “I’ll pass all the exams, get used to the role of a student, and then I’ll tell you everything.” The star mother is already happy for her daughter: “The Unified State Exam is over! Brilliantly! Congratulations, my little girl!” And Maria confirms: she passed the literature test well, although she did not prepare for it at all.
The girl postponed not only her higher education, but also her official marriage: the daughter of Lyubov Tolkalina was engaged to her lover Nikita, but was not married - firstly, the pandemic, and secondly, the young people did not want to take money from their parents for the wedding.

Alisher Usmanov
The main shareholder of USM Holdings is from Uzbekistan. Leaving for Moscow to receive higher education, neither he himself nor his grandfather, who protested against foreign education, could even imagine what the desire for IQ perfection would result in. Usmanov has two educations: MGIMO with a degree in International Law and the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation with a degree in Banking. Definitely, Alisher Burkhanovich knew where he was aiming.
