The ex-wife of producer Joseph Prigozhin lost real estate in the capital, which her ex-husband left her after the divorce. Elena Sokolova mortgaged an apartment in Moscow at interest from a credit institution, and when her business went bankrupt and there was nothing to pay, the woman had to part with her living space.
The first marriage of producer Joseph Prigozhin
Elena Sokolova is the first wife of the famous Russian producer Joseph Prigozhin. In marriage, Elena and Joseph had a daughter, Danae, and a son, Dmitry. Prigozhin is currently married to singer Valeria. They have been married for seventeen years. And Elena is married to a certain Dmitry Shlapak. The new husband is twenty years younger than Sokolova.
The ex-wife of Joseph Prigozhin deprived their common children of living space
Russian producer Joseph Prigozhin has been happily married to singer Valeria for more than ten years and is raising her three children with her. However, providing for the heirs from previous unions is still entirely on his shoulders. Thus, having separated from his first wife, housewife Elena Prigozhina, fourteen years ago, the 46-year-old producer purchased real estate for their common children. We are talking about two apartments in Moscow, purchased for son Dmitry and daughter Danae. However, as SUPER managed to find out, 49-year-old Elena unexpectedly decided to sell the living space without the knowledge of her children, and also without informing Prigozhin himself.
As it turned out, all this time the unemployed woman took out consumer loans from banks. She paid for them with money that Joseph sent to support the children. Several times she turned to her ex-husband with a request to give her a large sum, supposedly to provide for her family and pay off the bank. After the money arrived in the woman’s account, the producer invariably lost contact with his ex-wife.
Moreover, according to relatives, Elena Evgenievna began living with a 28-year-old security guard named Dmitry. A young man originally from Stavropol is now serving time in a local military colony.
Today, the woman owes the bank about three million rubles. Moreover, immediately after receiving a large sum from Prigozhin, Elena, instead of paying off the loan, left for another city and disappeared from contact.
According to Prigozhin’s lawyer Sergei Zhorin, in February of this year Elena sold one of the apartments in the center of Moscow. The one-room apartment on Pokrovka Street was originally intended for Joseph’s eldest son, 26-year-old Dmitry. The producer’s children also own another apartment in the same building, which, according to relatives, is also currently up for sale.
Zhorin confirmed that the living space intended for his client’s children was sold by his ex-wife. In addition, the producer’s eldest son did not even know that he was no longer the owner of the apartment.
“Yes, some time ago Iosif Prigozhin actually contacted me, concerned that his children might lose the housing that he left for them when he separated from his wife,” the lawyer told SUPER the details of the family scandal. “I started looking up information and found out that one of the apartments had already been sold. According to information from the real estate register, the apartment intended for Dmitry belongs to the organization, and he himself does not know about it. According to him, Elena explained to the children that she wanted to sell the apartments so that they could leave and live apart. According to preliminary information, the living space was registered in Elena’s name illegally. I plan to wait for Prigozhin to make a decision: to bring her to justice or not, but there is every reason for this.
SUPER contacted Joseph Prigozhin himself, who said that he was shocked by the actions of his ex-wife.
- I wouldn't like to talk about it. God will be her judge,” Joseph shared his point of view regarding the family conflict with SUPER. - It seems to me that I acted like a man - I left in only shorts and left them everything, including the land in the Domodedovo area, which, as it turned out, she had already sold to someone. The children are already of age. I am offended and hurt that I was fooled all this time. I bought the property not for her, but for my children. I'm just shocked! I'm afraid that she simply zombified the children and they were forced to sign a waiver.
The producer also noted that he regularly helped his son and daughter with money. In addition, his ex-wife threatens his assistants over the phone.
“All these years I did everything to ensure that my children were not disadvantaged in any way.” He provided, paid for their education, financed, paid for everything, including rent. But I couldn’t even imagine that this money went past them to support Elena’s new men! - Joseph is indignant. “I don’t know what’s in this man’s head.” She turns my children against me solely with the goal of making them sign documents and quickly escape to Stavropol. This news took me by surprise: I am now in China with Valeria and I learn this from you. In addition, today my assistant Stanislav called me and said that Lena called him. She promised that “her new friends will deal with him if he sticks his nose into something that’s not his own business.” I didn’t talk to her because they wouldn’t answer the phone on me. I will look into this issue in the legal field and look for a civilized solution. I'm afraid that she herself might become a victim of some criminal fraud!
What Elena Sokolova received after her divorce from Prigozhin
After the divorce, Joseph Igorevich left his wife an apartment in Chertanovo and in the center of Moscow, hoping that in the future the property would remain for their common children. But the woman could not appreciate the inheritance left from her husband. This was not enough for Sokolova. Periodically, she gave interviews on various television programs, throwing mud at her ex-husband. The woman claimed that he treated her and the children as non-humans. Therefore, the relationship between Prigozhin and Sokolova could hardly be called warm.
What Prigogine says
Elena Prigozhina lost the lawsuit in which she tried to get her home back. Now the owner of the apartment is the credit institution "Benefit". The producer had long feared that his ex-wife would lose her property and leave her children without an inheritance, so what happened did not come as a surprise to him.

“I once acted like a man and left everything to Elena. Have you seen men today who, after a divorce, left everything to the family and left? “I helped Elena and the children as best I could, left them all the property, did everything in my power,” Prigozhin said. – But how could you put your own children at risk? Unfortunately, I am not ashamed to say such words about my ex-wife.”
It is interesting that Joseph Igorevich had previously told Elena about the risks of such real estate transactions, but she did not listen to him. “Danai’s grandmother called me and said that she had been discharged from the apartment. “I met with employees of the same organization that provides microloans, and they talked to me very politely,” Prigozhin said. – It turns out that at the moment I am solving a problem that might not have arisen. I asked Danaya and Dima not to sign any papers, but they love their mother very much. Elena became a hostage to her husband, who does not respect subordination towards me. It’s their choice to stay on the street.”
How the producer's ex-wife ended up on the street
After Elena got married for the second time, she and her young husband organized their own business in Stavropol, related to cargo transportation. The business required constant investments, and the newly minted couple decided to mortgage a two-room apartment in Chertanovo. But even when the family business failed and they lost their two-room apartment, Dmitry and Elena did not calm down. Shlapak decided that he needed to invest even more money in promoting the business so that there would be an outcome. He persuaded his wife to mortgage the apartment with a credit institution. But this did not save the “shop” - the couple’s business went bankrupt. Elena tried to save the situation by suing the credit office, but the latter won the case. From now on, the apartment in the center of Moscow rightfully belongs to the microloan organization.
Creative merits and successes of Joseph Prigogine’s wife, Valeria
Valeria is dearly loved by the Russian people: her songs are played on the radio, she participates in concerts and goes on tour around the country. Since the beginning of her career, the singer has achieved excellent results: since 1992, she has released 16 music albums and starred in more than 40 music videos. She received the title “Honored Artist of Russia” (in October 2005), then became People’s Artist of the Russian Federation (in the spring of 2013).
Valeria was a multiple winner of the “Song of the Year” television festival, won various competitions and sat on the jury herself. Every year, a professional performer receives the Golden Gramophones, performing in the music award of the same name.
The singer is also known in foreign countries. She has English-language albums, videos, worked with famous foreigners (Ray St. John, Chantal Kreviazuk, David Richards, Robin Gibb) and performed at concerts with the bands Simply Red, Pink Floyd and others.
In addition to musical success, since 2008 Alla has held the position of Goodwill Ambassador (at the International Organization for Migration). Moreover, the woman became a confidant of Vladimir Putin, the current Prime Minister of the Russian Federation in 2012.
Valeria is the author of two books. One of them is an autobiography called “And life, and tears, and love”, and the second is about a healthy lifestyle and physical activity - “Yoga with Valeria”.
Problems and difficulties in the Prigozhin family
In an almost ideal family, there are sometimes difficulties associated with children. The couple wanted to have a child together. They considered the options of adopting a baby from a shelter or using surrogacy, but only after trying to give birth on their own. In 2014, Valeria and Joseph were spotted in one of the hospitals where a woman was registering for pregnancy. But after some time a tragedy occurred, they lost the child. In the same year, at the age of 101, Valeria’s beloved grandmother passed away.
At the end of November 2015, a scandal occurred that threatened the celebrity family union. Disputes and misunderstandings that arose due to everyday trifles (discussion of the work schedule and the rights of the housekeeper) were quickly forgotten and peace and harmony reigned in the house again.
A quarrel with parents and the departure of the singer’s youngest son from the family in January 2016, his return, his daughter’s participation in candid photo shoots - this is what the Prigozhin family periodically has to deal with. But problems with children, unpleasant news from the yellow press, attacks from ill-wishers and other difficulties Valeria and Joseph Prigozhin overcome together.

Joseph Prigogine tried to help his ex-wife keep her apartment
The producer was not surprised by the outcome of the situation. When his ex-wife lost her apartment in Chertanovo, Prigozhin took pity on the woman and personally helped her settle matters with law enforcement agencies. “Kopeck piece” was listed as the name of the former mother-in-law.
Do you understand that an elderly woman was evicted from her apartment? A man with extensive work experience, at 82 years old, was thrown out onto the street? — Joseph Igorevich said in one of his interviews.
Unfortunately, Prigozhin’s attempts to help legally did not bring results - the microfinance company then won the case.
Bandit chain
Despite the fact that Joseph Prigogine does not want to communicate with his ex-wife, he cannot calmly look at how Elena voluntarily left his children without real estate. The producer is sure that Dmitry Shlapak is the culprit of all Sokolova’s financial troubles: “They left the capital for Stavropol. Have you ever seen something like this for people in the capital to sell their apartments and leave? I've never seen anything like this. This is just some kind of idiocy. This scoundrel Shlapak calls me and threatens me. He had some problems with the army, with the military registration and enlistment office. I don’t know what they were thinking,” Joseph Igorevich was indignant.
Realizing that Elena did not want to listen to his advice, the producer tried to convince the children not to do anything stupid, but they ignored their father’s requests: “In the past, dad told us not to do anything with the apartments, but no one listened to him. Yes, and I’m good - I followed my mother’s lead, without forbidding her to give the apartment as collateral. Now my father is one of the few who supports me. And I want to say that I value him very much, I love him and have always loved him! Although we have been communicating well for a long time, I still feel guilty for past quarrels. I want to publicly apologize to him for the fact that I once said not very pleasant things towards him. I’m really very ashamed,” Danaya said in an interview with StarHit.
News on the topic
Prigozhin said that he was receiving death threats When Prigozhin’s relatives lost their first apartment in Chertanovo, and Elena’s mother, who was registered there along with her grandson, ended up on the street, the producer tried to save the situation: “I already contacted law enforcement agencies so that took control of the situation related to my ex-mother-in-law. Do you understand that an elderly woman was evicted from her apartment? As part of the trial, she was discharged to nowhere. You see, a man who worked in the Soviet Union and has extensive experience, who is 82 years old, was thrown out onto the street. Have you seen this in this life? And the district courts in Chertanovo, for example, quickly confirmed all this. In this system, everything is captured, a whole chain of bandits. Behind this are microloan organizations that offer such illegal agreements,” said Joseph Igorevich in an interview with WomanHit. He even had to face threats against himself: “I tried to help, met with these guys, tried to talk. In response, they spoke to me harshly, even threatened me, saying that people in law enforcement agencies were behind them. Although I also have many connections, we were never able to find a common language,” the producer shared with the Moscow-24 TV channel. He also noted that he was not going to help his relatives with money, but would try to provide them with legal support.
