Childhood and family
Ksyusha was born on November 5, 1981 in the city on the Neva, Leningrad. In the early 80s, her father, Anatoly Aleksandrovich Sobchak, had not yet thought about a political career. Just before the birth of his daughter, he defended his doctoral dissertation and received a professorship at Leningrad State University. A year later, he created and headed the first department of economic law in the USSR. Mother, Lyudmila Narusova, worked at the same university as a senior teacher at the Faculty of History.
Ksenia usually recalls the early years of her biography briefly. She was an exemplary girl - she studied straight A's, studied ballet, attended a music school to study piano, and seriously studied the history of art. True, the girl later admitted that she did all this not out of her own desire, but at the insistence of her mother. Subsequently, significant disagreements arose between them on this basis.
In 1991, Anatoly Sobchak became mayor of the city. This caused a cooling in the relationship between father and daughter. Ksyusha was burdened by the increased attention that her family began to attract; it was difficult for her to communicate with her peers. In high school, the girl staged real riots, running away from the guards assigned to her to spend time with friends, go to the cinema or to discos.
Also sharp-tongued, Ksenia did not hesitate to sharply criticize her high-ranking father, and they often had heated arguments. However, after the death of Anatoly Alexandrovich, Ksenia admitted that she was very attached to him, and even opened up, saying that she continues to look for her father’s traits in men.
Attention!
Ksenia says that she owes her bright, non-standard character to the mixture of nationalities. On her father's side she has Russian, Ukrainian, Czech and Polish roots, and on her mother's side she has Jewish roots.
Carier start
Having received a certificate of secondary education, Ksenia applied to the Faculty of International Relations at the university of her hometown. She studied there from 1996 to 2000, then moved with her family to Moscow, transferring from St. Petersburg University to the prestigious Moscow university - MGIMO. In the spring of 2004, Sobchak defended her master's degree in political science.
It was quite difficult for Ksenia to settle into the capital - apart from her big name, she seemed to have nothing to be proud of, and her pride did not allow her to serve in an ordinary position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, Sobchak decided to start building a television career.
The first attempt was casting for the “Afisha” program for the role of presenter. However, the tests were not successful - the position went to Tatyana Arno. However, Ksenia did not give up hopes of becoming a TV star.
Dom-2 and other TV projects
In 2004, Ksenia accepted an offer to host the reality show “Dom-2”. Possessing a scandalous character and a sharp tongue, Sobchak fit perfectly into the format and, despite the criticism that fell, gained unprecedented popularity. Work on the show lasted until 2012.
Thanks to her notoriety, Sobchak became a desirable participant in the TV show. Over the years she was the host of the following programs:
- "Last Hero";
- "Blonde in Chocolate";
- "Who doesn't want to become a millionaire";
- "Two stars".
On a note!
The participation of the scandalous diva in itself guaranteed the attention of the press and public to the project.
In addition to television, Ksenia also worked on radio - she hosted a program on the Silver Rain channel. She also became a participant in the show “Circus with the Stars”, starred in a video with Timati, performing a hit song written together in a duet with the rapper.
Since 2006, Sobchak has been constantly invited to host social events or appear in programs of central channels. And her participation in the “Girls” program on Channel One ended in a huge scandal: the star managed to start a skirmish with Vladimir Solovyov during a live broadcast.

Political activity
Until 2006, Sobchak was considered exclusively a TV presenter and socialite. But the young star was clearly not satisfied with just such fame and she made her first attempt to become famous as a public figure, founding the “Everyone is Free” movement. However, the idea of a youth association, whose goal was to have an interesting pastime, turned out to be unviable and frankly failed.
In 2011, Ksenia made people talk about herself by making statements about rigging the election results to the State Duma. In the future, she works together and speaks at rallies together with the scandalous opposition politician Navalny. This was the reason that Sobchak was no longer invited to projects of state channels.
In 2021, unexpectedly for everyone, Ksenia nominated her candidacy for the post of President of Russia. This was received ambiguously by both her opponents and supporters. The star was accused of having ties to the Kremlin and conspiring to steal votes from his former comrade-in-arms, Navalny.

Later, she promised to withdraw her candidacy if Navalny was still allowed into the election race. Ksenia Sobchak is a candidate “against everyone”

Son Plato
In 2021, Ksenia and Maxim had a son, Plato. But the birth of a child did not save the marriage - the couple separated in 2021. The reason was Sobchak’s affair with director Konstantin Bogomolov.
