The most striking example of high self-esteem, coupled with expressive-aggressive behavior and undisguised self-PR in the Russian media space is Katya Gordon. The biography of a young celebrity is simply replete with scandals and provocative antics, which, however, looks very funny. According to the media diva herself, she is a real “find” for Russian show business, a “child prodigy” and, without false modesty, a “sex symbol of Russia” (intellectual, of course). What is so valuable her personality for our country? Again, Katya herself claims to be a talented and successful "Russian writer, poet, radio and television presenter, aspiring director and popular blogger." How high the degree of her talent and genius is, you can argue for a long time, and opinions will still be divided, so we will dwell on the facts. What did Katya Gordon manage to do in her life and stormy youth? The biography of the girl who gained attention thanks to the scandals is presented to your attention.
The beginning of the path: education and first success
And it all began very calmly. Katya was born in Moscow, in an intelligent family - her parents were scientists. She graduated from the humanitarian gymnasium, as well as the economic school of the International University for high school students. Next was the faculty of social psychology at Moscow State Pedagogical University. Lenin and director's courses in the workshop Todorovsky. Already, the graduation project showed the “troubled disposition” of Gordon, who is still not very famous - her film “The Sea Worries Once” was rejected for screening at festivals (on behalf of the VKSiR) for immorality and mocking subtext, as expressed by the Arts Council. However, the tape did not remain unappreciated, in 2005 at the international festival "New Cinema, 21st Century" she was awarded the Grand Prix.
"Not long-awaited" scandalous fame
Katya began to gain popularity even before she published her first creative work. How did the country find out who Katya Gordon is? Her biography can be divided into stages of marriage, of which there were several. And Katya brought to light the name of the already held famous host and director. Katya Gordon’s husband (Podlipchuk, and earlier Prokofieva) is Alexander Gordon, with whom Katya lived for 6 years - from 2000 to 2006, and gave her a “big name”. At first she was just a co-host of her then future husband on the M1 channel in the Gloomy Morning program, later she worked on Mayak radio, where Ksenia Sobchak found her “the glory of all the country”. It was this no less scandalous person who contributed to the transformation of Katie into a figure being discussed and, accordingly, known in wide circles. A live skirmish live with mutual accusations, insults and caustic jokes has done its job. The ether could not stand such a high concentration of conceit and resulted in large-scale discussions on the Internet and not only. After a scandalous skirmish in July 2008, Katya Gordon lost her job on Mayak radio, but gained the desired fame and emotional response (both negative and positive) from the Russian public.
Katya Gordon and the Internet
Katya’s activity in the media space did not end there, but only began. She paid special attention to RuNet. In 2008, the highly successful Kill the Internet project was created, which made the scandalous diva “Person of the Year in the Internet Sphere 2008” according to the version of the Aktsiya newspaper. The aim of the project was to unite and help people dependent on the Internet, as well as protect human rights in a ruthless virtual space.
Radio and television activity, social activities
At the same time, Katya worked on Channel One in the City Dudes program, then hosted the Show The Defiant Morning on Megapolis-FM radio. And in 2009, Katya Gordon sang, founding the BlondRock group, where she was a frontwoman. The team even recorded a song for Eurovision, but failed to participate in the event. Katya had to work on radio and television a lot - at different times she was the host on O2TV, Zvezda, Pervy channels, Echo of Moscow, Silver Rain, Mayak, Culture, Moscow Says radio stations and others. In addition, Gordon was actively engaged in (and continues to do so) social activities. It is not surprising that for the most part these are all kinds of protests and the struggle for rights in one area or another. Be that as it may, some of them deserve praise. For example, the movement "Unnecessary nature", promoting the taking of purebred dogs, participation in rock festivals, directing the collected funds to the maintenance of stray animals. Katya also participated in other events, such as Strategy 31, dedicated to the freedom of public gatherings and assemblies. And in 2013, she together with Dubrovskaya organized a center for psychological and legal assistance.
And what about the personal front?
No less saturated is the personal life of a young celebrity. Five years after a divorce from the famous director and host Alexander Gordon, Katya Gordon decides to marry again. The wedding with Sergei Zhorin, a successful lawyer, took place in July 2011. And already in September, the young wife was taken to the hospital with a concussion after beating by her “newly acquired” husband. Naturally, after the incident, a divorce followed. But for a long time the girl did not remain alone - in September 2012 the main man of her life was born - the son of Katie Gordon, Daniel. Having become a happy mom, Katya seems to have calmed down a bit. A year later, rumors appeared again about the next romance of the media diva, this time with singer Mitya Fomin, but they were refuted by Katya herself.
Hoping for a brighter future
What is Katya Gordon doing now? Her biography continues in the media sphere, she works on her Internet projects, maintains blogs and brings up her son. The beginning of the career of the already known person today was very "noisy" (in the worst sense of the word) - scandals, unpleasant tricks, and sometimes openly boorish behavior, coupled with narcissism, made her a negative, but still a name in Russian show business. Well, let's hope that negative experience will allow her to revise her behavior in the future and choose the right movement strategy. And some of Katy’s social projects really make us believe that this is possible.
