Russian Commissioner for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, who is involved in the abduction of Ukrainian children, left her husband for the “Orthodox billionaire” Malofeev.

At the same time, Lvova-Belova still has not officially announced a divorce from her husband, priest Pavel Kogelman, with whom they are raising ten children. Russian opposition journalists spoke about this with reference to several sources from the official’s circle.

Since Lvova-Belova became Commissioner for Children’s Rights in 2021, the story of her large family has repeatedly appeared in the media. The official and her priest husband publicly spoke about “traditional values,” faith, Orthodox marriage and adoptive parenthood.

By the way, among Lvova-Belova’s adopted children there is also a teenager with temporary Mariupol occupied by the Russians.

The first rumors about Lvova-Belova’s affair with Konstantin Malofeev, who is the creator of the far-right religious propaganda TV channel Tsargrad, appeared in the winter of 2024.

Already during the so-called “royal procession of the cross” in Yekaterinburg they walked together and held hands. Lvova-Belova herself did not announce a rift with her priest husband, whom she invited several times to her so-called projects since 2023.

I think , this will all be resolved, but the question is how. The elite has its own morals, its own rules – and the church, in general, covers it up; no one needs a scandal. Indeed, the fact that she is a priest’s wife was initially a huge part of her political brand, but now it has shrunk like shagreen leather. And she is now under international court, a class “B” official,” said one of the journalists’ interlocutors.

At the same time, Konstantin Malofeev divorced his wife, lawyer Irina Vilter, in 2023. Obviously, this is what Russian “traditional values” look like, which they are trying with all their might to propagate in the aggressor country.
