A tragedy struck the family of Federation Council Chairman Valentina Matvienko - her husband, Vladimir Matvienko, died.
The death of the senator’s husband became known from the press service of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. It was reported that in a telephone conversation with the head of the upper house of the Russian parliament, the Belarusian leader “expressed deep condolences to her in connection with the death of her husband.” Lukashenko also conveyed words of support to all the relatives and friends of Vladimir Matvienko.
Later, information about the death of Matvienko’s husband was confirmed by Parlamentskaya Gazeta. It is reported that the Federation Council “is receiving condolences in connection with the death of the husband of the chairman of the chamber.”
What is the cause of death of Vladimir Matvienko?
After his retirement, the man built himself a dacha at the Gromovo station in the Leningrad region and began to further engage in science there. Over the years, his health began to deteriorate and as a result, Vladimir Matvienko ended up in a wheelchair. Perhaps a long illness was the cause of death. Until the last days of his life, he remained true to himself, lived quietly in the village and never boasted about his famous wife and son.
What is known about Matvienko’s husband: who he is, biography
Very little is known about the head of the Council’s husband. He, unlike his wife, was not a public person. As you know, Valentina comes from Ukraine, where she graduated from school and came to St. Petersburg to become a pharmacist. Here she met her future husband. When the future politician entered her fifth year, she decided to agree to marry Vladimir. The marriage produced a son.
Little is known about the wife of the head of the upper house of parliament: he was a retired colonel. He worked at the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy. But he couldn’t sit still and started building a house near St. Petersburg. There he spent his last time before his death.
In recent years he has become very ill. It is unknown what disease struck him, but it got to the point where the man ended up in a wheelchair. This disease ultimately led to death. For Valentina and her husband, this marriage was the only one in their lives: they lived together for 45 years. They had a son and granddaughter.
More is known about their son: he is already 43 and has had two marriages. He received an economic education, and after that he was in the management of several large banks. In addition, he owns a company that was engaged in different areas of business.
Biography of Valentina Matvienko
The biography of Valentina Matvienko begins in the spring of 1949. At that time, her family lived in Shepetivka, a Ukrainian village in the Khmelnitsky region. Father Ivan and mother Irina were not connected with political life in the country.
Some time after Valya’s birth, the family leaves for Cherkassy. A little later, the father dies, and the mother of the future politician has a hard time - she herself needs to raise three daughters.

Biography of Valentina Matvienko
The biography of Valentina Matvienko begins in the spring of 1949. At that time, her family lived in Shepetivka, a Ukrainian village in the Khmelnitsky region. Father Ivan and mother Irina were not connected with political life in the country.

Despite this, she continues to lead a political life and in every possible way establish connections with Russian citizens.
Personal life of Valentina Matvienko
Although Valentina Matvienko’s personal life is full of stability, along with her political career, many are interested in how it turned out. Everything here is extremely simple and transparent - when she was studying at the chemical institute, she met Vladimir Matvienko. After a while, the young people got married.
Since then, both spouses have lived in a happy marriage. And if any disagreements arise, they try to resolve everything as quickly as possible. In 1973, the couple had a son, which we will talk about below.
Family of Valentina Matvienko
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Valentina Matvienko’s family was not connected with politics or public life. In addition, until a certain point, the woman herself did not think that she would connect her activities with such a profession. Mom had a little connection to art - she was engaged in sewing costumes for performances.
Valentina's father, Ivan Tyutin, was a front-line soldier, and when the girl went to second grade, he died. This turn of fate put the family's financial situation at a great disadvantage. Therefore, young Valentina wanted to get a diploma as soon as possible in order to earn her own money.
Children of Valentina Matvienko
The children of Valentina Matvienko are a rather interesting topic, especially for those citizens who follow the political arena within the country. As you already know, in 1973, a political woman gave birth to a son, who was named Sergei. His parents love him very much and help his career in every possible way. In addition, he has two higher education degrees in neighboring fields.
Already in 2008, Valentina Matvienko was lucky enough to become a grandmother. The marriage of Sergei and an ordinary student brought them a daughter, Arina. Since then, the politician has been trying to devote time to all members of his family, regardless of their age - as they say, from young to old.
Valentina Matvienko’s son – Sergei
You probably already know that Valentina Matvienko’s son, Sergei, was born in 1973, and this year he will turn 45 years old. From early childhood, both parents took care of their son and always found free time for him. As a result, Sergei has two higher educations in economics.
After graduating from universities, the son of a politician held the position of vice president of St. Petersburg, a popular bank in the city of the same name. Afterwards, he was one of the managers at Vneshtorgbank. Also, it is worth noting the fact that he is the owner of the “Empire” - a fairly well-known structure. It includes several dozen divisions that are engaged in various activities - providing cleaning services, software development and logistics. Of course, there were some evil tongues - there were rumors about illegal activities and so on. By the way, to date, not a single one of the “information bombs” has been confirmed.
From 2004 to 2006, Sergei was married to a singer who later became widely famous - Zara. The second marriage continues to this day, and the granddaughter of Valentina Matvienko was born.
Valentina Matvienko's husband - Vladimir Matvienko
Valentina Matvienko’s husband, Vladimir Matvienko, studied with her in the same course. At that time, the future politician was studying at a chemical institute and was just thinking about a career change. It is logical to assume that the spouse was not involved in such activities.
After graduating from high school, Vladimir began teaching at the Military Medical Academy. In 2000, he retired and began to improve his dacha plot in the Leningrad region. Now, Matvienko’s husband uses a wheelchair. Lives in the very house he built.
Many famous personalities resort to the help of plastic surgeons to keep their appearance under control. For our today’s heroine, this is also relevant, therefore, requests like “Photos of Valentina Matvienko before and after plastic surgery” are popular.
It is not surprising, because, despite her respectful age, the politician is not subject to his influence. Although she herself denies that she had plastic surgery. In turn, experts say that Valentina Matvienko in her youth - photos confirming this are on the Internet - and now she has hardly changed. They note that injections with special drugs that reduce wrinkles are noticeable. Also, you can notice that Valentina managed to tighten the oval of her face - it remained practically unchanged over such a time.
But we can’t say for sure. The woman herself says that she manages to keep her face youthful thanks to regular exercise. Not surprising, because politicians do not like to talk about such manipulations with their appearance.
Instagram and Wikipedia Valentina Matvienko
Politicians and government officials rarely use social networks. That is, they most often have pages, but all activities on them are carried out on behalf of secretaries and other persons.
Despite the fact that today’s politician does not have an official page on social networks, the queries “Instagram and Wikipedia of Valentina Matvienko” are quite popular. Not surprisingly, you can find an exhaustive amount of information about activities in the public domain. Moreover, it is interesting to read Valentina’s achievements, both during the USSR and after the collapse of the Union.
As always, any public figure is subject to criticism - expert conclusions can also be found on the Internet. This is especially true for those who are planning to study life in the Russian political arena.
Valentina was born on April 7, 1949 in the Ukrainian town of Shepetovka, Khmelnitsky region. Higher education in the biography of Valentina Matvienko was received at the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Institute of Leningrad. After graduating from the institute in 1972, she began working in the Petrograd district committee of St. Petersburg. She was a secretary and head of a department.
Then she changed several secretarial positions in the regional committee of Leningrad and the Krasnogvardeisky district committee. In 1989, in her biography, Matvienko became a people's deputy of the USSR. At the same time, she headed the Supreme Council Committee on Women, Family and Motherhood.
In 1991, in the biography of Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko, the position of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR (and since 1992 of Russia) to the Republic of Malta was occupied. Since 1997 she has been Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic. From 1995 to 1997 she headed the Department of Relations, at the same time she was a member of the board of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The next career stage in Matvienko’s biography occurred in 1998. From September of this year until March 2003, Matvienko served as Deputy Prime Minister. And in 2003 she became a representative of the president, and in the same year she joined the Security Council. 2003 was an extremely successful year in the biography of Valentina Matvienko. Having won the elections, she became the governor of St. Petersburg. He has many awards, orders and medals.
