Valya Isaeva is from what city? Valya Isaeva and Khabib Potakhonov: the ugly truth about the purest love story

This story once shocked the whole country. In 2005, it became known: an 11-year-old schoolgirl from the Moscow industrial district of Kapotnya, Valya Isaeva, was pregnant by a 19-year-old migrant worker from Tajikistan.

Orphan Valya lived with her grandmother, 50-year-old Antonina Zenkina (the grandmother, however, is not her own, she is the mother of Valya’s stepfather). A native of Tajikistan, Khabib Patakhonov came to Moscow to work. He rented a room from Antonina Alexandrovna, and then began a completely unchildish relationship with her granddaughter. Many argued: should Khabib go to jail for having a sexual relationship with a minor or should the young people be given a chance to become a real family? Valya and Khabib then went on talk shows, proving that they loved each other. On one of the television programs, Khabib publicly proposed marriage to Valya, they got married.

“Juliet from the industrial zone” gave birth to a daughter, Amina. Patakhonov got off with a suspended sentence. Valya, having graduated from ninth grade, went to college and received a degree in management. In 2013, she gave birth to her second child, son Amir... Several years ago, the couple’s neighbors complained that Habib was beating his wife. The problem was again discussed on television, and Valya then defended her husband. And last year on a talk show she suddenly announced that she was divorcing Patakhonov and leaving for a new lover - Victor! And he even moves to his homeland - Kabardino-Balkaria.

Today Komsomolskaya Pravda contacted Valya to find out how her life turned out with her new chosen one.

"In the fifth month"

Khabib and I made peace. We're doing well! - Valya said. - We decided to save the family for the sake of the children. Moreover, we are expecting our third child. I'm five months pregnant.

So they didn’t file for divorce?

No. After all, we have been together for so many years, we have two children. There were quarrels, but we realized that we couldn’t live without each other.

What about love with Victor from Kabardino-Balkaria, to whom you were planning to leave?

No way! We had nothing at all with him.

Valentina's daughter Amina (left) is already 13 years old. This year she went to seventh grade. The new “groom” Valya Victor played this role for money.

But you insisted that you loved him!

It was a show. I was forced to say so. This “lover” was found by television crews. The guy is our neighbor. The TV people made up this story, and we had to play it. They introduced him as my lover, although this guy has a wife and child.

And you agreed?!

The TV people first signed an agreement with us, but didn’t talk about the script until the last minute. I didn't know they would come up with this. And when I found out, I could no longer refuse, because then I would have to pay a penalty - 500 thousand rubles...

Did this guy live next to you?

Yes. He worked at a factory, and he and his friends from the enterprise rented an apartment in the next entrance.

Are you not in contact with him now?

No. Once Khabib saw him, he said: if you come to my wife or come to at least one program, I’ll kill you. After the second program (in which Victor insisted that he had a close relationship with Valya Isaeva. - Ed.), he told Khabib and me: “Forgive me, I need money.” We later found out that his father had cancer... I then told him: “Don’t come to my area. If I see you, I’ll write a police report against you.” Since then I don't know where he is.

We tried to convince the television people to give a refutation, we even wanted to sue, but they refer to the contract and our consent to filming. Yes, we received money for the talk show (for each broadcast - 250 thousand rubles - Ed.), but after those broadcasts everyone believed that I really had a lover. My daughter’s teachers at school were worried. They told Amina: how can it be that mom and dad are separating, let them think carefully...

Now we refuse to go on talk shows, although they invite us. They offered me a guy, a fake actor, to act out as if I still had a fan. And they wanted to find another girl for Habiba and develop a conflict like this. They found out that I was pregnant and began to offer to conduct a DNA examination of the unborn child: they say, we’ll check whether the child is Khabib’s or not. I told them: “Are you out of your mind?” I know perfectly well that the child is Khabib’s. And Khabib knows this. They want to disgrace me again in front of his relatives!

“Habib’s fiancee was beaten for real”

In the talk show they said that Khabib had found a replacement for you, they even showed his fiancee - was this again according to the script?

No. It was Khabib's mother who found him a bride. She watched the broadcast and believed that I had a lover. And all his relatives believed. To reassure his mother, Habib had to meet the girl Zarina, whom she had found for him. He went to Tajikistan to get a new passport, and his mother told him: “Marry her according to our customs, because we don’t believe that you and your wife live a normal life.” He married her according to Muslim customs. This was done in front of relatives so as not to disgrace themselves. And two weeks later they separated. They didn’t even have their wedding night, they just lived like neighbors. But she really hoped to make Habib hers.

I only found out on television that he signed with that girl there. Khabib and I were invited to the program, and that girl also came there. I got jealous, and she and I actually got into a fight in the studio.

It turned out that the editors of the TV show told Zarina that Khabib wanted to make peace with her. She hoped that he would go with her to Tajikistan. The TV people needed to make a show, but our family almost collapsed!

“My daughter is not friends with boys”

Aren't you worried that your daughter will repeat your fate?

No. My daughter is now 13 years old. I already gave birth at her age. Of course, I explain to her that it was wrong. We tell her everything openly and ask her not to repeat our mistakes. Khabib tells her: “When you study, finish school, I’ll find you a groom. If you don’t want to get married, you will continue to study.”

The teachers, of course, looked closely at her, maybe they were afraid at first, as if of something... But she is modest, home child. Sometimes he plays with his brother, sometimes he teaches English, sometimes he helps with the housework. She is completely busy with her studies and plans to go to college. Even in social networks doesn’t sit, doesn’t text.

Amina admits to me that she wants to finish school and fly to Tajikistan to live there. I don't know why. Although we sometimes discuss with Khabib that it is difficult to live in Moscow. If the opportunity arises, we will buy housing in Tajikistan and move there at least for a while.

For 13 years, Patakhonov never received Russian citizenship.

In an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda you admitted that Khabib beat you...

Yes, it happened. But he beat me back in 2015. I thought I wouldn't forgive you. But I forgave. Because Khabib promised to control himself and would not allow any more assault.

Then he beat you out of jealousy?

Yes. I went to work, and he decided that I was taking a walk. But when I realized that I was really working, I apologized and admitted: “I was incredibly jealous of you!”

So, everything is fine with you and all your problems are behind you?

The only problem is that we are unable to grant Russian citizenship to Khabib. I would like some help with this...

Maybe Khabib stayed with you because as long as he is married and with children, it will be easier for him to obtain citizenship?

No, what are you talking about! We have love.

VIEW FROM THE SIDE

"They're normal guys"

The other day I saw Valya in Kapotnya. She lives with her husband and children, everything is fine with them,” Moscow City Duma deputy Inna Svyatenko told KP. - They have a normal family with social status below average because they do not have a permanent job. Valya at one time worked in the store as a saleswoman, then as a cleaner. Khabib earns money by driving people around. He has problems with the migration service because he didn’t submit documents for registration on time... And they either pay for the apartment or don’t pay. But everyone helps them - the municipality, us. Their children are neat, and the guardianship authorities sometimes come to their home to see how they can help. My son goes to kindergarten, my daughter studies normally.

May 17th, 2015 , 07:22 pm

I saw a post on Kolobok about guest worker-pedophile Khabib Patakhonov (in connection with yesterday’s Chechen wedding). And I became terribly curious, what happened in the end to the youngest mother in Russia, who gave birth to a daughter at the age of 11 from an 18-year-old guy from Tajikistan?

You, too, probably remember that sensational story. There were all sorts of rumors a year or two later about family life young couple, mostly bad and unflattering for Khabib!

I decided to rummage through the Internet, where, like in Space, nothing is lost. And I found what I was looking for.
So, what do we have as a result today? A couple of very pretty young people, a successful marriage and already two children. And everything that leads to the birth of healthy and desirable children is GOOD. This is my opinion, and no one will dissuade me of this.

"MK" attended the 20th anniversary of "Kapotnin's Juliet", who gave birth at the age of 11

Since the beginning of that big story 10 years have passed. It was just so many years ago that 3rd-grader Valya from Kapotnya first gave herself to a migrant worker from a nearby lavash shop. The pregnancy of 11-year-old Valya Isaeva became known to the public in May 2005 - and in the blink of an eye, the love story, which had been going on for almost a year, turned into a matter of downright national scale. What they were gossiping about back then: that a junior high school student was “planted” with her Tajik tenant by her own grandmother, and that 17-year-old Khabib Patakhonov from Dushanbe is not at all who he claims to be, he is much older and came to the capital using someone else’s documents. .. And the whole world judged and ordered what to do with them. Loud public speaking and the bustle in the official bodies was crowned by a show trial. After which they suddenly forgot about “Kapotnin’s Romeo and Juliet,” as they were then dubbed, without making any organizational conclusions: who is to blame? So what should I do?

Lolita from the industrial zone

The last time I communicated with the heroes of this almost Shakespearean drama, which unfolded in the 2nd quarter of Kapotnya, was in 2008: then Valya Isaeva was 15, Khabib Patakhonov was 22, and their little daughter Amina was 3 years old. At that time, the young people lived separately - this was the court decision. Three-year-old Amina looked pretty and healthy, and the notorious “granny pimp” Antonina Aleksandrovna Zenkina babysat her, since the young mother went to the 7th grade. I remember Khabib himself for the fact that he looked much younger than his stated age. Perhaps it was because he was the same height as his teenage sweetheart or because he had a slight build, but this boy barely looked 22 years old. The future of the young international cell of society, not yet registered anywhere due to the minority of the mother of the family, seemed vague. But Valya and Khabib assured me that they love each other and their daughter. The grandmother was completely on the side of the young people and actively wanted “everyone to finally get away from them.” And so it soon happened.

Another 5 years passed, and I wanted to know: how is Kapotnin’s Lolita doing? Is Shakespeare's passion alive?

* * *

Valya Isaeva opens the door - in tight jeans, a white T-shirt, slender, but with all the feminine curves. Smiling, big brown eyes sparkle. I remember that last time this girl, despite her Russian name and surname, seemed to me like an oriental beauty.

The apartment on the 3rd floor of the Khrushchev “panel” without an elevator, although a “three ruble”, is tiny. You can’t turn around in the hallway; you have to walk straight into the kitchenette. And there, right in the wall, is a recess with a built-in shower, without a door. Only one room is visible - there is an adult bed and a wooden children's bed - and one person can stand on the remaining space. The other two rooms are walk-through rooms. There the TV coos and the overweight, aged Antonina Aleksandrovna sits indifferently. She used to work at a local greengrocer, but is now retired. Valya invites me into the only isolated room:

- Come in, please! Khabib will arrive now, he is still at work. Everything is fine with us, and September is generally a holiday month for us. On September 11 I turn 20, on September 13 Khabib turns 27. We are both Virgos. Of course, when I was 10 and Khabib was 17, everyone said: oh, horror! And now, in comparison with 60-year-old men who marry 20-year-old girls, it is clear that our age difference is quite adequate - only 7 years!

Valya speaks leisurely, picking up the right words and expressive images. And this despite the fact that the girl is an orphan, she did not finish school, and her adoptive grandmother is a simple woman who has been in the vegetable garden all her life. But even then, in 2008, and even more so now, Valya impressed me not as a confused child, but as a small, but confident, fully formed woman. Both then and now, all her reasoning is presented in a very intelligent, cultural form, but the bottom line boils down to the main thought: “For my Khabib and for my family, I will tear anyone apart!”

On January 23, 2013, Valya and Khabib had a son, who was named Amir. Now he sleeps in the next room under the supervision of his great-grandmother. Fearing the evil eye, Amirchik’s young parents try not to show it to anyone, and only those closest to him know about his existence. But the elder Amina is happy to talk with the guest. She turned into a tall girl for her age with big eyes and also very correct speech.

- Valya, now Amina is 8 years old, what do you say if in 2 years she starts sleeping with a guy, like you did? — I can’t resist provocation.

- I'll kill her! — Valya answers emotionally. “Yes, she’s a smart girl herself, she won’t do anything stupid!” Although I don’t regret anything about myself,” Valya continues. - You know, it happens when Allah unites the hearts of a man and a woman, no matter how old they are. The Almighty simply knows that these two should be together all their lives and raise children. And then what difference does it make whether it happens earlier or later, since it’s fate? This is the kind of love we have with Khabib. Despite the fact that many people tried to separate us and spread rumors, we got married 3 years ago. His parents accepted me very well, I am a full member of the family.

— But Khabib’s parents live in Dushanbe. If the wedding was there, then you probably converted to Islam?

— We had a wedding in Moscow, on Lubyanka, it was arranged for Khabib by his FSB friends. But I didn’t have to accept Islam: I was always a Muslim - by birth. I have Azerbaijani blood on my mother’s side, we just didn’t advertise it.

— Were Khabib’s parents at the wedding?

— No, it’s expensive for them to come to Moscow. But this April we visited them in Dushanbe. We would have gone immediately after the wedding, but this was impossible - Khabib needs to get so many permits to travel outside of Moscow! As a result, we flew to Dushanbe without permission from any official authorities there. They call us the next day: “Congratulations, you are allowed to travel to Tajikistan!” And we laugh: “Thank you, of course, but we’re already there!”

“I liked it in Dushanbe,” the second-grader interjects very maturely. — My grandparents live in Zeravshan, this is the best area of ​​the city. Grandma doesn’t understand Russian well, when she watches TV, she asks everything again. And her grandfather scolds her for this: the village, he says, all the brothers-sons conquered Moscow, but you don’t even know Russian!

In fact, although they said that Khabib is Tajik, he is Uzbek. His family is from Uzbekistan, they just moved to Dushanbe at one time; they had some problems in their homeland. Khabib’s uncle and older brother moved to Moscow back in the 90s, although both ended up in prison. But they speak Russian well. But my husband’s mother still addressed me in her own way.

Judging by the situation in the apartment, it is clear that the young family is not in luxury. There is only a dried piece of poppy seed roll on the kitchen table for tea, but the hostess clearly keeps her face: “We don’t eat at night. We’ll feed Khabib dinner after work and that’s it!”

— How will you celebrate birthdays, Valyusha? — I carefully ask, because guests are unlikely to fit in their living space.

“I tell my husband: let’s go to a nightclub, I’m already allowed!” - Valya answers joyfully. — After all, I’ll be 20 already, I already drink wine. True, rarely, on holidays, I don’t really like it. And Khabib doesn’t drink alcohol at all.

- Valya, did you finish school?

- 9th grade and college is not far from here - I studied to be a manager. I worked as a cashier in our store in Kapotnya. But then my husband forbade it and said: Am I really not going to feed my family? True, now he has allowed me to work again. Amirchik will be one year old, and I will go. Otherwise, Khabib is very tired, he works late every day. But we have enough for everything, we even bought a car - a new Lada, but Khabib converted it into a sports car! He drives like that, you should see! I will also go to driving school soon, my husband promised.

—Where does Khabib work?

- Yes, here across the road from us - in a furniture warehouse, as a storekeeper.

Romeo as a labor migrant

- Well, how do you like my household? — the owner of the house smiles patronizingly. “I stole them from the hospital back then, in 2005!” Otherwise they wanted Valya to go to an orphanage, and Amina to a foster family! But, as you can see, everything is fine with us, our son was born...

- Congratulations! Have you received Russian citizenship, Khabib? — at the time of our previous meeting, Khabib only dreamed of becoming a citizen of Russia.

“No, he only has a residence permit,” Valya answers for her husband, “although we have already signed for 3 years.” There are a lot of papers to write, but we will definitely do everything.

- Valya said that you will tell about your wedding yourself...

— Our wedding was gorgeous! - the migrant worker recalls with pride. — On Bolshaya Lubyanka, in an Arabic restaurant. We had a limousine - a golden Hummer - and 1200 guests...

— Guys, excuse me for the indiscreet question, but where did you get the funds for such a magnificent ceremony?

- Firstly, I have friends in the FSB, they work there across the street, they often go to that restaurant and agreed with the owner that everything would be at a friendly price. Secondly, one TV channel really wanted to film our wedding. Well, we set a condition for them - they say, then help so that everything is beautiful and looks good on the screen. It was just a golden limousine from them.

— Khabib, how did you end up in Moscow?

— I first came here in 1999, I was 13 years old. My father and I came to see my uncle. My uncle was the first in our family to go to Moscow, but something didn’t work out and he ended up in prison. He served time in Astrakhan, but did not return to Dushanbe. And when my father began to get ready to go home, I told him: “Leave me with my uncle, I’ll live with him, go for a walk, and see the Kremlin!” At first I lived with my uncle, then I found a job and began renting a separate house. I had no problems at all: in the Dushanbe school we were taught Russian very well, not like now.

- Are you drawn to your homeland?

— My homeland is here, in Moscow. I go to Tajikistan only because I have my father, mother and relatives there. If they weren’t there, my feet wouldn’t be there! I don't feel comfortable there, I don't feel at home there. I’m already used to it here, but the situation there is kind of unpleasant...

Shakespeare in Kapotnin's style

I have to admit that some of the things that the young people told me today contradict what was stated five years ago. However, Valya Isaeva does not hide the fact that they had to deliberately keep silent about some points, so as not to drag themselves into additional persecution.

Even before Patakhonov’s trial, the then director of children’s affairs in Moscow, Alexei Golovan, threateningly demanded “to stop interfering in the life of a minor without the permission of her guardian.” The public outcry was not long in coming: a certain deputy Chuev was immediately found, who undertook to patronize the couple, which was rapidly gaining momentum in popularity. As a result, the Russian law on the seduction of minors was respected in court nominally: the then 20-year-old Tajik-citizen lover of minors got off with two years probation, with permission to work in the capital. All that was required of the defendant was to solemnly swear in the courtroom not to touch his Moscow “Juliet” again until it was permitted by law. Khabib assured the court that as soon as Valya turns 16 and she will be able to obtain official permission from the guardianship authorities legal marriage, he will honestly marry her. And the commission for the affairs of minors and the protection of their rights of the Kapotnya municipality put an end to my report from 2008:

“Everything is fine in this family, finally leave them alone!” Valyusha studies well, communicates with peers and generally leads a lifestyle appropriate to her age. Antonina Aleksandrovna takes care of her granddaughter: Amina is a beautiful girl, developed, well-groomed. Khabib is working. He helps the Isaev family financially. He visits them strictly at set hours, signed by him in a special agreement. The child's father strictly complies with the court's decision, we have no complaints against him. Our representative regularly visits the Isaevs’ apartment.

Well, somewhere the valiant guardianship authorities were ripening to the root - indeed, he got married, indeed, he helped... But only today Valya adds:

- Of course, all these years before the wedding he lived with my grandmother, but we hid him! Well, think for yourself, what kind of money is needed to help me with my child and rent an apartment in Moscow!

At the beginning of the story it was said that little Valya had only her grandmother among her relatives - and she was not her own, but her guardian. And, they say, this guardian named Antonina Aleksandrovna Zenkina, working as a saleswoman in a local vegetable store, made an acquaintance with a baker from a neighboring lavash shop named Khabib. A kind woman offered a hard-working Tajik guy shelter for a reasonable fee. And when the “result” of such a settlement became obvious, the granny just threw up her hands: they say, who could have thought that they would do such a thing? Like, both are just children: Valya is 11, and the boy is only 14. And when official questions rained down on the grandmother, she not only underestimated the age of 17-year-old Patakhonov, but also tried in every possible way to cover her tracks and cover up the real Khabib, presenting him as a mythical resident Astrakhan named Bakhtier.

- How did it really happen? - I ask Valya.

“Very simple,” Valya smiles. - Now there’s nothing to hide. Antonina Aleksandrovna is my stepfather’s mother, his last name is Isaev. He lived with my mother in this very apartment. But they were not scheduled: he was either drinking or sitting, and she was walking. And then one day my mother went to St. Petersburg, and then, a couple of months later, she called and said: I’ll come back because I got pregnant. Whether it’s from you or not, I don’t know. The stepfather nevertheless demanded that she return and give birth in Moscow, promising that he would register the child in his name. And my grandmother said that she would raise and educate me. And so it happened. I have never seen my mother. She gave birth to me and disappeared again. No one knows who my real father is. My stepfather died when I was 8 years old and he was 32. I hardly remember him. And my grandmother, in order not to send me to an orphanage, formalized guardianship.

— By the way, about the fact that grandma rented out an apartment to Khabib, it’s all a lie! - Valya declares. “My grandmother just didn’t want to set me up then.” In fact, I met Khabib myself. And she brought him to visit her, in this very room. I liked him, I fell in love!

- But you were in 2nd grade then!

- So what, in 2nd grade this is not a person, or what? At first I fell in love with his older brother Maxim, but then he went to prison. It was in a store where grandma worked at the time, and I ran to see her after school. Well, first Maxim kept sighing and walking around me, then Khabib... I immediately thought about Khabib: how handsome!

— What are your plans for the near future, guys?

- Yes, they gave us Amirchik maternity capital- 409 thousand. We want to buy a house with a plot, we are just choosing it now. So if anyone has any interesting suggestions, please let us know via MK.

“It’s a bit cramped for us here,” adds Valya. - But we still want a third child. Another girl...
