When you achieve something in one area you automatically start wondering whether you should try yourself in another. And that’s what happened with me. I’ve been interested in the subject of youth for a long time: first, in connection with sport; and then I became interested in youth policy as a whole – both in Russia and internationally.

Appeal by Students and Graduates of the Gnesin College

In October 2011, I began to receive letters on my website from students, graduates and teachers at the Gnesin Music College, who are concerned for the future of one of the oldest and best-known academic institutions in the music education sector. Under Order No.934 issued by the RF Ministry of...

Sport filled my whole life for many long years. It was my work, my joy, my hobby, my family, my friends, all my emotions and feelings, the air that I breathed and the element in which I lived.

An Honest Answer

Letter: Forgive me for asking such a specific question, but there are thousands of such questions every day! I have a 7-year-old daughter who is naturally flexible and performs with great spirit. But she has one disadvantage - she’s not as tall as other girls in her year, even though she was born...

Alina Kabaeva: “I want my children to love me like I love my own mother.”
Alina Kabaeva: It’s my voters who set my goals
It takes quite an effort to list all the titles held by this celebrated sportswoman, but here we go: winner of the 28th Olympic Games Athens, 2004; bronze medal winner at the 27th Olympic Games in Sydney, 2000; twice all-round world champion (1999 and 2003); five times all-round European champion (1998-2000, 2002, 2004); six times all-round Russian champion (1999-2001, 2004, 2006-2007).
Alina Kabaeva: “I never dreamt of becoming a star.”
During the rhythmic gymnastics tournament in Samara, every minute of Alina Kabaeva’s schedule was mapped out: watching the competition, discussing the tournament’s future, touring the Gratsiya sports centre, handing out autographs etc…Yet she still found time to give an interview to “VK”.
Alina Kabaeva – “I’m doing what I love to do.”
Alina Kabaeva is a brand name. Behind it is a young woman and a dynamic public figure. I first met her when I was a participant in the Young Journalists’ School project, which was founded on her initiative and has been run for the past two years as an exclusive project of the Alina Kabaeva Charity Foundation. It’s a school about ethics, about expanding horizons and breaking down stereotypes for young journalists.
“Only the People can Judge Me”
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma’s Youth Affairs Committee Alina Kabaeva in an interview with ER.RU.
And this is my own personal corner. This is where all the entries about me will be, so you can find out about my life in my own words. I’ll tell you about important events and about my family, and share my impressions of films, concerts, books, animals…of everything that I care about, everything that surprises or moves me.

I’m no hypocrite, but I don’t like it when my life is exposed to view like goods in a shop window. I’m convinced that everyone needs their own private space, something they can call their own. So here’s my “Private Life” – a space that’s mine and mine alone.

I hope you’ll understand.

My charity foundation has already existed for several years. At first it focused mainly on sport, but then I realized I couldn’t restrict myself to just one area of activity. So today the foundation is active in several fields.

Each of the foundation’s projects and specific activity is a matter of prime importance for me. In this section I will write about what the foundation does, which projects it is running today and what we have managed to achieve.
