Expensive clothes, excursions and dinners in the hippest restaurants that’s life until recently Polina Kovaleva, 26 years old, daughter of the Russian Foreign Minister’s lover Sergey Lavrov. She lived a life of unbridled luxury in Kensington, one of London’s most exclusive areas. His is a millionaire’s apartment in the heart of the English capital, where he has often organized super exclusive parties. It was she herself who showed the good life on social media, posting photos and videos of her days.
His 5 million euro house it had been bought, Il Messaggero reported, for cash and without a mortgage. A modality that immediately aroused suspicion, also because neither she nor her mother received an income. But Polina’s dream seems to be over: Like many Russian oligarchs, she too is finished in the crosshairs of sanctions imposed by Boris Johnson’s government on Moscow in response to the invasion of Ukraine. In fact, for some time now, British authorities have been asking to step in and confiscate the 26yearold’s home. Also because she is connected to Lavrov, albeit indirectly. True, the latter has been married to Maria Lavrova for 50 years, but at the same time had a parallel marriage with Svetlana Polyakovamother of Polina.
The mistress of the Russian foreign minister lives in London with his daughter. And both have a car collection next to the apartment. The UK government’s decision to sanction them is part of a strategy aimed at also targeting the “hidden” assets attributed to Russian oligarchs. According to dissident Navalny’s team, much of the money is actually spent by the mother and daughter it would come from Lavrov precisely. That is the reason for the sanctions. Not to mention that the young woman had worked for Gazprom and other giants linked to Moscow. Previously, he would have lived in a house belonging to the Russian Embassy in England and would have flown on the Foreign Ministry plane at least 60 times.
