Elena Pavlyuchenko - wife of Sergei Mavrodi: biography and photos

The name of Sergei Mavrodi is known far beyond Russia. The founder of the largest in the history of our country's financial pyramid MMM today are treated differently. Some call him a genius entrepreneur, others call him a swindler, who appropriated the money of millions of people. Despite such contradictory assessments, the biography of Mavrodi still does not cease to interest society. Particular attention deserves Sergei's personal life, because his lawful wife was a model and winner of beauty contests Elena Pavlyuchenko.

Family of the wife Mavrodi

Pavlyuchenko Elena Alexandrovna was born in the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye on June 7, 1969. Her mother worked as an engineer, father was a candidate of technical sciences, in charge of a laboratory at the Titanium Research Institute. Later, the spouses Pavlyuchenko had another daughter, who was named Oksana.

School years

Lena Pavlyuchenko grew up a quiet and uncommunicative child. She was an ordinary girl with pigtails and stood out among classmates except that the more attractive appearance. She studied Pavlyuchenko in secondary school No. 92 in Zaporozhye. In the junior and middle classes, Lena had a good academic performance, but before the graduation she started to see triplets in her diary. Her favorite subjects were literature and history, but she did not like physical education. In his free time, the future wife of Mavrodi attended a music school and a theater studio.

Participation in beauty contest

After graduating from school, Lena enrolled in absentia at the Faculty of Philology of the Zaporizhzhya Pedagogical Institute, which later dropped out, and worked in a nursery school in parallel. In 1989, a girl who turned into a real beauty by this time, decided to take part in the contest "Miss Zaporozhye". Pavlyuchenko, who had a job in the theater studio behind her shoulders, managed to lend herself favorably and easily passed into the top ten finalists. According to eyewitnesses, Elena had the most expensive outfits in the contest. There were rumors that she was a protege of a rich and powerful man, but his name was not disclosed. The girl was accompanied by the mother at the contest. She tried to put pressure on the jury to award the victory to her daughter. However, despite all her efforts, the first place was taken by another contestant. Elena also won the title of "Vice-Miss."

Elena Pavlyuchenko was enraged by the loss and decided to take revenge on the organizers and participants of the contest. She raised a loud scandal, saying that during her speech her earrings had disappeared from the dressing room, and she wrote a statement to the police. All those who were involved in the contest were searched and summoned to law enforcement for interrogation, but they were unable to find the decoration. It was obvious that the girl's earrings had not been stolen by anyone, but everyone who was suspected of kidnapping had to endure an unpleasant humiliation. Elena's mother could not calm down for a long time because of the loss of her daughter and even tried to challenge the results of the contest through the court.

Moving to the capital, getting to know Mavrodi

In the early 90's Elena came to conquer Moscow and lit up in the popular TV contest Yuri Nikolayev "Morning Star." The jury consisted of Sergei Mavrodi, who was battled by the beauty and talent of a young woman of the Cossacks. The founder of the financial pyramid at that time was engaged in the selection of photomodels for MMM advertising and invited Lena to take part in the shooting. Soon Pavlyuchenko becomes the face of the company and the bride of the rich Mavrodi. Especially for her lover, the millionaire organized international beauty contests, in which she became a winner. Having won many titles, Lena led Sergey based modeling agency "MMM-models".

Family life

According to Pavlyuchenko's own recollections, they did not hurry to register relations with Mavrodi and were married only in October 1993, when serious problems with the law started with him. However, even after the registration of the marriage, they did not resemble the ordinary spouses. Sergei Mavrodi lived separately from his young wife and met with her from time to time. In one of his interviews, he said that he does not know how to live with a woman in the same apartment.

Soon after the wedding, newly-minted Mavrodi began to manage one of the departments of the MMM, receiving a huge salary for her work. But her main mission was not this. When Sergei, hiding from criminal responsibility, led the life of the recluse, Elena provided him with a connection with all the necessary people and watched the flow of money. It is rumored that it was she who surrendered her husband to the law enforcement agencies in return for their promise to close their eyes to the sins that followed her. And they were connected not only with the activities of the "financial genius" spouse in the MMM.

The kidnapping case

In March 2001, 32-year-old Elena Pavlyuchenko-Mavrodi was detained in the capital on suspicion of abduction from a research institute of pediatrics of a newborn child who was there on treatment. A half-month-old baby from the building was taken out by a staff member of the clinic and handed over to two ladies who were parked near Nissan. As it turned out later, one of the women in the car was the wife of Mavrodi Elena, and the other - her 38-year-old girlfriend in the modeling business. It was for the latter that the baby was meant.

Employees of the research institute suspected that they were preparing to kidnap the baby, so they were on the alert. Noticing how the attending physician took out his little patient into the street without permission and passed it on to unknown women, they raised an alarm. Soon, Nissan was stopped, and its passengers were taken to the police station. It turned out that the baby was planning to illegally adopt the fruitless friend of Pavlyuchenko. Elena, who had connections in the research institute, volunteered to help her and organized the entire operation. However, during the investigation, Elena's friend changed her testimony and stated that she had taken the baby out of the NII just a few hours to show her lover and force him to marry her. The suspects so confused the investigation that as a result they did not incriminate anything, and the criminal case was closed because of a lack of evidence.

Balloting to the State Duma

Scandal with an attempt to kidnap a child is not the only dark spot in the biography of the wife of the creator of MMM. In the second half of the 90's Elena Pavlyuchenko tried to make a political career. Mavrodi's wife ran to the State Duma deputies three times, but twice she was nominated on the eve of voting because of voter bribery, and the last time she could not get the required number of votes.

Life after divorce

Marriage of Elena Pavlyuchenko from Mavrodi lasted until 2005. Divorced from her husband, she changed her name and appearance and disappeared from the view of the media. According to people familiar with Sergei, his ex-wife, along with his mother, lives today in his own house in the suburbs. She is educating her daughter, whose father is Mavrodi, and does not give interviews.

The younger sister and her connections with Mavrodi

If Elena was the wife of Sergei, then her own sister Oksana Pavlyuchenko - his companion in the creation of financial scams. Arriving in Moscow after her sister, the girl graduated from the Plekhanov Institute, having received the specialty of a tax inspector. All the time, while Oksana studied in the capital, she lived at the expense of her husband's husband. In the late 90's, together with Mavrodi, an enterprising girl organized a virtual exchange on the Internet, on the account of which the visitors transferred solid amounts.

Having existed for a while, the exchange disappeared without a trace. In 2000, Oksana and Sergei were put on the wanted list by Interpol, but after the US court decided that the scam created by fraudsters was an ordinary computer game in which there could be losers and winners, the case was closed. Avoiding deserved punishment, Pavlyuchenko, the youngest, got married and stayed in Moscow. She does not hide from anyone, but, like her older sister Elena, categorically refuses to communicate with the media.
