New York wedding of Maria Zakharova November 14th, 2016

Last week, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova published on Facebook, an archive photo from his wedding on November 7, 2005 in New York. Photographer Nikolay Komissarov, filming a wedding photo shoot, shared his memories.

“I've been living in America for 25 years,” recalls Nikolai. - I collaborate with leading media and generally do not do weddings. But in those years, I often photographed the events of the Russian consulate, where Maria worked then; that is probably why she invited me. The ceremony was modest, and the program was ordinary: registration of marriage at the consulate, a walk in the sights. Again, with a standard set - Central Park, Fifth Avenue.

At first, of course, I had my own idea of \u200b\u200bhow to shoot it; but Zakharova boldly intervened, offered perspectives. In it, authority was felt in a good sense, composure - the qualities of a real diplomat. And not the slightest excitement, although what a reason!

With the exception of one bottle of champagne (which was sipped and then broken during the presentation of the marriage certificate), there was not a drop of alcohol at the ceremony. Although, after the photo shoot, they went without me to celebrate at the restaurant, and of course I don’t know what was happening there. I don’t remember wedding rituals, such as fashionable locks on the fence of bridges now.

- How did Maria behave? - At the official part, at the consulate, she was more silent; at photosets in the park, she was attracted to wildlife - flowers, trees. Passers-by, by the way, reacted emotionally, waved their hands - it is not customary for New Yorkers to get married in a white dress.

- And Andrei (husband of Zakharova - Ed.). - He looked more excited, straightened the folds on his wife’s clothes, took care of her. In general, I felt: the leader in this pair is Maria. I’m sure that she chose the dress that thundered in social networks ... By the way, many customers are asked to process photos in Photoshop, to remove the shortcomings - but not Zakharov.

And when on November 7, on the wedding anniversary, she posted one of those long-standing photos on Facebook, I also posted several others on the basis of "it means you can." Maria wrote to me: “I wanted to eat you with french fries, but I consulted with my husband, and he said: let it be.” So, I think she’s the mistress at work, and he is at home.

First, we took pictures with the flag, documents, and then painted on the consulate. After that, we went on her initiative to the park for a walk. I offered them some other place, but she said that it’s better to go to the park. This is part of Central Park, which opens onto 91st Street, where there is a Russian consulate.

During the shooting, she was laconic. If she said, then everything in the case, where it was not necessary, she did not correct anything. But where necessary, she always corrected. Which is better this way or that. It was felt that she was very extraordinary. In Russia, women are usually simpler, they look at men, but she is different. There was some insight in her. Very Margaret Thatcher then reminded me. I told her back then: "You have such a Slavic appearance, but your mind and sarcasm are British." And she liked it so much.

Until recently, photographs in the public domain did not appear - she did not want to, because she is a politician. But then she posted on the Web one on the day of the anniversary, then I decided. She then told me that she was ready to eat me with some hot meat ... I don’t remember exactly. But her husband said: calm down, it's life. So I told her: for a politician this is important, because people are not very interested in speech, the main thing for them is that a person be a person.

41 years old

The identity of Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is constantly discussed, not only in connection with her latest statements and speeches, conceived as sharp as a razor, but also because of personal photos that Mary regularly posts on her Facebook page.

Recently, Zakharova gave an interview to the glossy magazine Tatler, probably for the first time revealing some unknown details of her life outside of work.

The path to the ideal figure of Maria began 2 years ago, when she decided to lose weight by 20 kg, and successfully achieved this goal.
As the photos below show with a small amount of clothes)).

How did Maria lose weight?
“She says she wore chicken breast and broccoli in a container for work.”

Much more difficult, according to Mary herself, was during international negotiations.
- When I could, explained. When she couldn’t, she pretended to eat, and very artisticly.

In addition, Maria spoke about her hobby - collecting miniature interior items.
An interest in this arose in her childhood, when she got acquainted with a book about an elegant copy of the Petersburg apartment of a friend of Pushkin, Pavel Nashchokin.

The first exhibit in the collection of Zakharova was a miniature straw hat with a flower, seen in Beijing.
The owner of the souvenir refused to sell the hat for a long time, but in the end he surrendered to the pressure of young Maria and presented it.
Later, traveling around the world, Maria brought various objects to her collection: from England - a porcelain bath, from Canada - a needle-chair, from Kaliningrad - an amber iron.
Over time, the number of exhibits increased so much that it took a separate place to store them.
In the apartment of Maria’s parents there is a wooden house of a meter height, which housed the entire collection of miniature objects

A photo of Maria Zakharova where she appeared in a swimsuit for the first time on Instagram, where users noted that she looks even younger than the pupils of the children's camp.

On her first day at the camp, a State Duma deputy started charging with her children. “Cheered up,” Maria said after a warm-up. In her words, this is a perfectly acceptable schedule, the optimal regime, and you should constantly maintain your body in good shape.

“Regardless of the type of business trip, or the state in which you meet the dawn, charging helps to get together,” the “star counselor” admitted. She graduated from school with honors, but had not been to Artek before. Now she is confident that "received a well-deserved reward."

Selfies before the race

In June 2016, Maria took part in the SPIEF RACE race, as part of the SPIEF. She, like the other 250 runners, gathered in St. Petersburg on Sq. Isaakiev at 6.30 in the morning. Having achieved successful results (27 min. 21 sec.), The woman hastily shared with the subscribers on Facebook the secret of the correct passage of marathons:

“Always create selfies at the start and immediately publish on the net. Then there will be no chance of losing the race, ”Zakharova said. At the same time, she published her own photos without makeup, which pleased subscribers. Many were surprised how, with such employment, she manages to have an excellent appearance.

How do German media respond about the Russian Foreign Ministry?

The editors of the German magazine Stern nicknamed Zakharova "Putin’s miraculous gun of propaganda." In their article, they emphasize "sexuality, a sharp mind and self-confidence of a blonde beast." According to foreign media reports, a Russian woman is openly enjoying this status.

The appearance of a violent reaction from the reporters was preceded by the behavior of the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at one of the conferences, when she ridiculed Reuters employees after speaking about the preparation of the Russian Federation for reform in Syria.

“I had a legitimate question for Reuters, which is represented in the Russian capital by close to 50 reporters: are you sure that you are involved in journalistic activities?” The deputy said, explaining her perplexity at the absence of an interview with representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry from the Moscow news agency.

“If you did not bother to work out the Moscow comments, and everyone writes for you in London, what are you doing then in the capital?” The politician asked.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, spoke about the appearance on the web of her photos from the wedding, which many netizens considered too depraved. According to her, the pictures were posted without her knowledge.

Photos from the wedding of Maria Zakharova appeared on the Web about a year ago, but still haunt some users. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia has been criticized because of them, they say, the pictures are too depraved and supposedly indicate her bad taste.

ON THIS TOPIC

Maria Zakharova admitted as a public property, the photographs became without her knowledge - the photographer decided to put them on the Internet. “He did it on purpose,” a spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry said in an interview with MIR 24. After that, she contacted the photographer and asked why he did this.

“He said a brilliant thing: everyone sees you officially, against the background of some emblems, behind the podium, and I really wanted you to be seen like that. I said, thank you, but ask next time,” added Maria Zakharova.

According to her, she met her lover just a month before departure, when she already had all the necessary documents in her hands. "The future husband came to me, made me an offer. We signed it. It was solemn, and fun, and very sincere. We didn’t do this for anyone - there were as many guests at the wedding as there were two,” stressed Maria Zakharova.

However, the photographer was also at the celebration, thanks to which anyone with access to the Internet can virtually visit this wedding.
