FAMILY BATTLE
This story is as old as the world: first, people swear eternal love to each other, and then they disperse and begin to share stools. And although there is no word about stools in the claim of State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova, it does contain stationery for children and payment for toys.
44-year-old Svetlana Zhurova sued her ex-husband, tennis player Artemy Chernenko. The lawsuit was registered in the Moscow Magistrate's Court on December 31, but this became known only now.
Renowned skater and Olympic champion Svetlana Zhurova has been working in the State Duma for several years and lives in a prestigious area in the southwest of the capital. Artemy Chernenko, 37, lives in Vsevolozhsk with his new family.
Svetlana approached the litigation with all responsibility. And she even drew up a detailed scheme of expenses for two common sons with Artemy - twelve-year-old Yaroslav and six-year-old Ivan.
2.5 THOUSAND FOR GAMES AND 15 THOUSAND FOR STATIONERIES
As Artemy Chernenko's lawyer Gerasim Orlov told Komsomolskaya Pravda in Petersburg, Zhurova demands payment of alimony in the amount of almost 105 thousand rubles. Of course, monthly.
At the same time, the athlete and State Duma deputy "laid" in the claims almost all the items of expenditure that she managed to remember. Some raise questions from the respondent.
Svetlana lives in a service apartment, which she is entitled to as a deputy. But at the same time, she demands money from Artemy for utility costs in the amount of twelve thousand rubles, - says Gerasim Chernenko. - Asks to pay for education for children. Is there really no good free education in Moscow, why send the boy to such a school?
According to Orlov, the ex-wife of his principal did not forget to calculate the cost of clothing - almost 12.5 thousand rubles a month, as well as for leisure - 4 thousand and games - 2.5 thousand rubles. 15 thousand a year will go to stationery.
Yaroslav and Ivan also need a personal driver, their mother is sure. The asking price is ten thousand a month. Of course, all this must also be paid for by their father.
FOR CHILDREN OF A DEPUTY - MONTENEGRO ONLY
In the table that Zhurova attached to the claim, there is also a “rest” column. There we are talking about a trip for children to Montenegro at a cost - attention! - 140 thousand rubles. Of these, 100 thousand for children living on the seashore.
Why Montenegro? We have a beautiful Black Sea, - the lawyer Artemy Chernenko is surprised.
According to him, Svetlana Zhurova never discussed with ex-husband these questions.
Without taking into account his wishes, she herself decided that the children would go to such and such a school and go to Montenegro without fail. And billed him. We see here the abuse of parental rights, - says Gerasim Orlov. - Artemy is a simple physical education instructor in kindergarten, and his income is 11950 rubles per month.
But he also made a good sports career. There is information on the Web that Chernenko is the CEO of several companies ...
All this, unfortunately, is in the past. Things are not going well for him.
According to Artemy's relatives, he drives an old Gazelle. With his new wife and their two children, he lives in a house that he bought while still married to Zhurova.
In general, Chernenko, it seems, really cannot boast of such a salary as Zhurova has.
At the same time, Chernenko's defense emphasized that he would by no means renounce his obligations.
My principal is ready to take part in the fate of the children and will pay alimony. But not such cosmic sums, - says Gerasim Orlov.
By the way, as KP found out, after the divorce of the spouses three years ago, Zhurova did not demand alimony from Chernenko at all. She voluntarily took on all the expenses for the children. But, apparently, over the past time, relations between Svetlana and Artemy have deteriorated greatly.
Svetlana Zhurova refused to communicate with journalists.
No comment, - deputy assistant Maria Voronina told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
