Katya Gordon is the clearest example of inflated conceit coupled with expressive aggressive behavior and undisguised self-promotion in the Russian media space. 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 the Russian show business, a "wunderkind" and, without false modesty, "the sex symbol of Russia" (intellectual, of course). Why is her personality so valuable for our country? Again, Katya herself declares herself as a talented and successful "Russian writer, poet, radio and TV 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 let's focus on the facts. What did Katya Gordon manage to do in her life and turbulent youth?The biography of the girl who gained attention thanks to scandals is presented to your attention.

Beginning of the journey: education and first success

And everything started 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 of Moscow State Pedagogical University. Lenin and directing courses in the workshop of Todorovsky. The graduation project already showed the "restless disposition" of the not yet very famous Gordon - her film "The Sea is Worried Once" was rejected for screening at festivals (on behalf of the VKSiR) for immorality and mocking overtones, as expressed by the artistic council. However, the tape did not go 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 released her first creative work. How did the country find out who Katya Gordon was? Her biography can be divided into stages according to marriages, of which there were several. And Katya was brought to light by the name of the already held famous presenter and director. Katya Gordon's husband (Podlipchuk, and earlier Prokofieva) - 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 the then future husband on the M1 channel in the program"Gloomy Morning", later worked at radio "Mayak", where the "glory of the whole country" found her in the person of Ksenia Sobchak. It was this no less scandalous personality that contributed to the transformation of Katya into a figure discussed and, accordingly, known in wide circles. A heated skirmish live with mutual accusations, insults and caustic jokes did its job. The broadcast could not stand such a high concentration of conceit and resulted in large-scale discussions on the Internet and beyond. After a scandalous skirmish in July 2008, Katya Gordon lost her job at 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 Kill the Internet project, which became very successful, was created, which made the scandalous diva "Person of the Year in the Internet Sphere 2008" according to the Aktsiya newspaper. The aim of the project was to unite and help people addicted to the Internet, as well as to protect human rights in a ruthless virtual space.

Radio and television activities, community activities

At the same time, Katya worked on Channel One in the City Slickers program, then hosted the Daring Morning show on Megapolis-FM radio. And in 2009, Katya Gordon sang, founding the BlondRock group, where she was a frontwoman. Teameven recorded a song for Eurovision, but failed to participate in the event. Katya had to work a lot on radio and television - in different years she was the host on the O2TV, Zvezda, First channels, Ekho Moskvy, Silver Rain, Mayak, Kultura, Moscow Says radio stations and others. In addition, Gordon was actively engaged (and continues to do so) in 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, and some of them deserve praise. For example, the "Unnecessary Nature" movement, which promotes the adoption of outbred dogs, participation in rock festivals, directing the funds raised to the maintenance of homeless animals. Katya also participated in other actions, such as "Strategy-31", dedicated to the freedom of public gatherings and meetings. And in 2013, together with Dubrovskaya, she organized a center for psychological and legal assistance.

And what about the personal front?

The personal life of a young celebrity is no less eventful. Five years after the divorce from the famous director and presenter Alexander Gordon, Katya Gordon decides to marry again. The wedding with Sergey Zhorin, a successful lawyer, took place in July 2011. And already in September, the young wife was hospitalized with a concussion after being beaten by her "newly acquired" husband. Naturally, after the incident, a divorce followed. But for a long time the girl did not remain alone - inSeptember 2012, the main man of her life was born - the son of Katya Gordon, Daniel. Having become a happy mother, Katya seems to have calmed down a bit. A year later, rumors reappeared about another novel by the media diva, this time with singer Mitya Fomin, but they were refuted by Katya herself.

With hope for a brighter future

What is Katya Gordon doing now? Her biography continues in the media sphere, she works on her Internet projects, blogs and brings up her son. The beginning of the career of today already a well-known person was very "noisy" (in the worst sense of the word) - scandals, impartial antics, and sometimes frankly boorish behavior, coupled with narcissism, made her a negative, but still a name in Russian show business. Well, let's hope that the negative experience will allow her to reconsider her behavior in the future and choose the right movement strategy. And some of Katya's social projects really make you believe that this is possible.
