A resident of the capital, former bank employee Ekaterina Iftodi recently made a loud confession to the press: she has a one-year-old son Boris, the fruit of her love with Boris Nemtsov. Moreover, the woman filed a lawsuit against the politician’s 87-year-old mother, Dina Yakovlevna Nemtsova. The purpose of the lawsuit is to establish the paternity of Boris Nemtsov and gain the opportunity to claim part of his inheritance. The Presnensky court rejected Iftodi's claim.

Note that the woman has no evidence of a connection with the deceased, except for one photograph taken in a restaurant about two years ago. In her own words, Boris Nemtsov has never met the one-year-old boy Boris Iftodi, whom Ekaterina calls the son of a politician.

Boris was afraid of hurting little Bora,” says Katya Iftodi. - But he helped with money and promised to give his last name when the boy turned one year old. Boris did not want the media to find out about his son during this period. My mother knew about our affair with Boris, but they never got to know each other. But Boris often called his grandmother. Unfortunately, he did not have time to give the child a last name. I am saddened by the fact that all of Bori’s “wives” refuse to communicate with me and help me recognize the baby as Nemtsov’s son. To carry out the DNA examination, which we insist on, the participation of Katya Odintsova’s son, Anton, is necessary: ​​as the geneticists explained to me, for the accuracy of the experiment, it is the male gene that is required.

Of the gifts, according to Katya, she only had a diamond ring left, given by the politician.

So far, none of the relatives of the murdered politician have supported Ekaterina Iftodi. Most of them do not believe that the girl is telling the truth. According to Sergei Ageev, who worked as a driver and assistant for Boris Nemtsov for 17 years, he and his replacement Dmitry never saw Iftoda or heard of her.

It is impossible that we would not hear about a girl who would have at least some real relationship with Nemtsov,” said Sergei Ageev. - I never saw her, he never talked about her, even though he was an absolutely open, free person. He would definitely tell us about his little son. Her only photograph with Nemtsov is not proof at all. Dozens of people came up to him every day and asked to take pictures with him. So what should everyone do now? I would feel sorry for my mother, she is already barely alive from grief. And this girl is dragging her to court. Loving women don't behave like that.

TO THE POINT

Mother of Nemtsova’s illegitimate child: I was sure that Boris would not abandon his son

It is known that Boris Nemtsov has four children: 31-year-old Zhanna from his first marriage, 20-year-old Anton and 13-year-old Dina from his common-law wife Ekaterina, and the youngest 11-year-old Sophia from his secretary Irina Koroleva.

But the other day it turned out that on April 7, a year ago, another illegitimate child of the politician was born - little Boris. ()

BY THE WAY

Boris Nemtsov's mistress threw away a phone with a tracking chip at the scene of the massacre

Our readers who have been following the investigation into the murder of Boris Nemtsov will probably remember: the politician was accompanied by a friend, Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya. The girl gave evidence and was released home to Ukraine.

Evidence in the trash can

But, as it turned out, Anna knows much more than she told the investigators.

Immediately after the murder, Duritskaya approached a snowplow that had slowed down on the bridge, explains our source close to the investigation. - She asked the driver to call an ambulance from her mobile phone, citing the fact that she could not do this herself - she was in nervous shock. The driver called the doctors and left, following the work instructions (he has no right to linger in one place). Further, as shown by the study of recordings from surveillance cameras, Duritskaya approached a garbage can - a container that was temporarily installed in a pocket of the bridge for cleaning work. And she threw something there... ()

Ekaterina Iftodi. Born in 1982 in the Vologda region. Russian media personality, mother of Boris Nemtsov’s illegitimate son.

Ekaterina Iftodi was born in 1982 in the Vologda region.

Has a younger brother.

Graduated from the Institute of Innovative Technologies, Faculty of Economics.

However, she initially worked as a model. According to her stories, she starred for magazines, as well as in video clips of domestic performers, quite famous -,.

But she considered the modeling business frivolous and wanted to build a stronger foundation for her future - so she decided to work in her specialty, obtained at the institute.

She worked at Gazprobank. She was even the face of the bank - she advertised banking services from billboards.

She said: “I worked in the cash management department. I was photographed in front of a label. Banners with my face still hang all over Russia to this day. But I started getting unfriendly looks from my boss, and I quit.”

She gained wide fame in 2015 by declaring herself the mother of an illegitimate child of a famous Russian politician.

Ekaterina Iftodi's height: 177 centimeters.

Personal life of Ekaterina Iftodi:

As Iftodi said, before meeting Nemtsov, she had a civil marriage.

“I lived with a man for eight years, but there were no children, and I didn’t want to get married,” she said.

Before meeting Nemtsov, she lived in Moscow in a rather prestigious area.

In 2013, at Easter, I met Boris Nemtsov. That day, she and her family celebrated her younger brother’s birthday in a restaurant. Nemtsov was sitting at neighboring tables with his colleague Yashin and a certain woman. At some point, Nemtsov approached their table, congratulated the birthday boy, and said a toast. They met and exchanged phone numbers. Then they started calling each other and then meeting.

According to Ekaterina, they met “very intensively” in his apartment on Ordynka. And two and a half months after they met, she realized that she was pregnant. According to Iftodi, Nemtsov was happy about the pregnancy. But he asked not to publish this information - they say it could interfere with his political career.

According to Catherine, he called her “Christ” and gave her gifts, in particular, a ring with a one-carat diamond. “Mostly he gave me little things – linen, perfume. I remember how he always ran to meet me from the second floor of his penthouse: “Christ has arrived!” He nicknamed me “Christ” because we met on Easter,” she recalled she.

On April 14, 2014, she gave birth to a son, whom she also named Boris. Nemtsov did not want to register the boy under his last name, promising - according to Iftodi - to do this later.

She had no intention of marrying a politician: “I didn’t ask him unnecessary questions. I knew that this shouldn’t be done. I never made plans to marry Borya. Knowing how much he loved freedom and how many women he had! Why? I knew that Boris would still devote time to us to the best of his ability."

Allegedly on the anniversary of Boris Jr., i.e. On April 14, 2015, the politician was going to recognize his son. But I didn’t have time.

And then Catherine herself announced to the public that she had given birth to a son from a famous politician.

“My son is also from Nemtsov”: another love of Boris enters into the struggle for the inheritance. Live broadcast (04/14/2015)

For 2 years she fought in the courts to recognize Boris Nemtsov as the father of her son.

Sometimes this happened in quite shocking ways. Ekaterina Iftodi even took a shovel and, accompanied by the NTV channel, went to the politician’s grave - she demanded the exhumation of the remains and further DNA examination. For a genetic examination, either a politician’s clothes with blood stains, or a voluntary examination of relatives, or the exhumation of a corpse are required.

Ekaterina became a frequent guest of various talk shows on central channels.

Since the entire Nemtsov family unanimously refused a voluntary examination, they could only rely on the trial. In April 2016. The court hearing was held behind closed doors.

However, in the end she managed to obtain a DNA paternity test.

Battle for millions: the court recognized the new heir of Boris Nemtsov. Let them talk

Now Boris will bear the surname. Before the court decision, he was recorded as Boris Borisovich Iftodi.

The politician's common-law wife came to the Let Them Talk studio.

On the air of Dmitry Borisov’s program, the story of Boris Nemtsov’s next common-law wife, Ekaterina Iftodi, was discussed, who last week officially proved that she is a politician. Catherine told the TV presenter and experts in the studio that she literally went through hell to prove the truth.

“Officially recognized relatives did not recognize us. I tried to communicate with them, turned to Nemtsov’s associates, but everywhere doors were closed in front of me,” Iftodi said. Experts and guests on the broadcast agreed that Ekaterina herself was to blame for what happened, because even during Nemtsov’s life, she could have insisted that Boris recognize her child, as Ekaterina Odintsova did, rather than agree to wait a year.

“Why did Boris Nemtsov recognize the children of Katya Odintsova, because Katya Odintsova was a lady, a very proud and worthy woman,” said Zhanna Epple, an actress and close friend of one of Boris Nemtsov’s common-law wives. These words annoyed Catherine so much that she left the studio for a moment. Dmitry Borisov and the editors of the program had to calm the heroine down before she could return to her previous place.

In the next episode, Iftodi continued to discuss the situation regarding her son. Ekaterina addressed Boris Nemtsov’s mother live, who refused to accept her grandson. “I am very sincere towards my mother, I want her to cast aside doubts with her maternal heart. Dina Yakovlevna, your heart will tell you whether to communicate or acknowledge,” Ekaterina addressed the woman. Only the politician’s cousin, who specially came to the program, agreed to meet Boris Nemtsov’s little son.

“I’m ready to communicate with Boris (son of Iftodi - editor’s note), I saw him in photographs and have long wanted to meet him in person,” the man said.

Last week it became known that Ekaterina Iftodi was able to prove the paternity of Boris Nemtsov in court. Now she intends to give her son Bora the name of a famous politician.

Catherine does not hide the fact that it took her two and a half years to restore justice. Earlier, she said that there was a dash in the “father” column on the boy’s birth certificate. According to her, Nemtsov promised to recognize his son after some time. It was not easy for Iftodi to obtain an examination, because relatives, including ex-wives, did not want to help her in this matter. Today she came to the studio of the “Let Them Talk” program to talk about the difficult struggle for the truth.

Experts stated that Catherine herself was to blame for the difficulties in establishing paternity - after all, it was she who did not insist that Boris immediately recognize the child and indicate his name in the documents. Actress Zhanna Epple, a friend of one of Nemtsov’s common-law wives, Ekaterina Odintsova, used her as an example to Iftodi.

“Why did Boris Nemtsov recognize the children of Katya Odintsova, because Katya Odintsova was a lady, a very proud and worthy woman,” said the artist.

Then the program showed a video in which Ekaterina Odintsova talked about Boris’s relationship with their common children. Iftodi could not stand it and went backstage, where her three-year-old son and mother were waiting for her. She did not hide from the public that she was irritated by conversations about her former common-law spouse. Iftodi’s parent also had a low opinion of the businesswoman and did not mince words.

“He didn’t have time to admit, he didn’t have time, how can that be! I have nothing to do with Katya, this is Katya’s life. Yes, her children were recognized, she made it, but this should be my program, let's talk about my son! – Iftodi said to Dmitry Borisov backstage. - There must be a victory, I was heading towards this. Maybe the victory is some kind of conditional.”

Ekaterina returned to the studio, where she continued to discuss the difficult situation. The woman is offended that the mother of her deceased lover does not want to communicate with her grandson. Only the politician’s cousin came to meet his relatives.

The secret beloved politician is even ready to personally dig Nemtsov’s grave

33-year-old Ekaterina Iftodi came forward immediately after the murder of Boris Nemtsov. Since February 2015, she has been struggling to prove that her child (the boy will soon turn 2 years old) is the son of a famous politician, and, like other children, has the right to his father’s surname and inheritance. The litigation has not yet led to anything concrete. Because of this process, legitimate children cannot assume inheritance rights. A MK reporter looked into the legal conflicts of this story.

Boris Nemtsov with Ekaterina Iftodi.

Iftodi remembers very well the day when she met Nemtsov.

It was May 5, 2013. The whole family celebrated my younger brother's birthday in a restaurant. And Borya was sitting at the next table, we exchanged phone numbers. At first we just corresponded, then we met and we quickly began a relationship. I knew very well about his women. But there was passion and the passion was mutual. As a result of this love, our son was born.

The boy was born on April 7, 2014, 10 months before the tragedy on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge. Allegedly, Nemtsov asked very much not to advertise the birth of his son, because he had a difficult situation - he was running for the Yaroslavl Duma, preparing marches, and the appearance of another “wife” would not play into the hands of his career.

We agreed that he would recognize paternity when Borechka turned one year old, but Boris did not live to see that day,” says Iftodi. - We didn’t see each other often, but we communicated via SMS literally every day. I sent him photos, told him how Borechka slept and what he ate. He was always interested in this. In court I had to show this correspondence, although it was morally difficult for me to advertise my personal feelings. If the relatives do not believe that Borechka is Nemtsov’s son, then there is nothing simpler than to carry out an analysis and that’s it! To do this, they only need one hair. If justice refuses me, then I will dig up Boris’s grave myself and get DNA samples. I know that, in the opinion of many, this is not the most decent step. But Borya would not have condemned me.

“The court refused to satisfy the request to seize DNA samples from Nemtsov’s other children and conduct an examination,” explains Ekaterina’s lawyer Vladislav Polikarkin. “They also refuse to request Boris’s DNA samples, which are in the criminal case regarding his death.”

The only time in her life Katya saw the Nemtsov clan was at Boris’s funeral. She stood with everyone else at the coffin:

Bori's son Anton helped me through. Immediately after what happened on the bridge, we contacted him on social networks and exchanged phone numbers. But Anton knew about me even before his father’s death. He's a good guy and said he wanted to meet his brother. He even wrote that he wanted to replace his father. But, apparently, under the influence of his family, he stopped communicating with me. And I actually changed my number.

Let us recall that, according to various estimates, Nemtsov’s inheritance amounts to about a billion dollars. There are currently five direct heirs - the politician's mother Dina Yakovlevna, and four children - Zhanna, Anton, Dina and Sonya. All of them cannot assume their rights, since the trial against them has been going on for a year, according to Ekaterina Iftodi.

Lawyer Alexander Karabanov

The other day, famous lawyer Alexander Karabanov joined the case: “The trial is clearly drawn out. If we were not talking about the heir of a famous politician, then most likely everything would have been decided long ago and simply: the servants of Themis have the right to force direct heirs to undergo a DNA examination. But you can do without them - in the criminal case about the death of Boris Nemtsov there is a DNA analysis of samples of his blood. You just need to request them and compare them with the boy's DNA. World court practice knows cases where paternity had to be established after death. For example, the children of the famous chess player Bobby Fischer achieved exhumation in order to take DNA samples from their father. It was then about an inheritance of 3 million dollars. We intend to conduct a portrait examination in the very near future.”
