Rotenberg who is by nationality. Biography of Arkady Romanovich Rotenberg. Work as a trainer, scientific activity
The wife of one of the most powerful Russian businessmen, Karina Rotenberg, gave her husband Boris a video clip for his birthday. The video was shot based on the well-known creation of the Leningrad group "Exhibit" (the same song about the "louboutins"). It is interesting that earlier the entrepreneur's wife gave a long interview, where she said that she fell in love with Rotenberg for kindness. All these touches can tell a lot about the tastes of the couple, and evoke the idea of clumsy PR.
Morals of the Russian bourgeoisie
Of course, there is no dispute about tastes. And even more so the feeling of beauty. But when it comes to public people Why not open up a discussion. In 2016, Sergey Shnurov's song about Louboutins, officially called "Exhibit", made a lot of noise. And at the same time spawned many parodies. The year was rich in events, including in the world of show business. Therefore, the composition, which the society managed to get pretty bored with (because it sounded from every iron), was gradually forgotten. And it became somehow not comme il faut to quote her. But there were people whom the song, apparently, "didn't let go." Or rather, not people, but a person - the 37-year-old wife of a 60-year-old businessman Boris Rotenberg.
The entrepreneur turned 60 quite recently - on January 3rd. And a week after the holiday Karina Rotenberg told the whole world what a gift she pleased the hero of the day.
The woman, it turns out, shot a parody clip for the aforementioned song of the Leningrad group. Karina announced this on her Instagram, accompanying the recording with a one-minute video. This is a video from the filming of the video, but it is easy to understand the main idea from it. According to the script main character, that is, Karina Rotenberg, fights with men on the mat. Which is natural, because the husband is the vice-president of the Judo Federation, and once he and his brother Arkady were engaged in this fight in Leningrad together with the future president of Russia. Karina naturally defeats her rivals and sings the following words:
Arkady Romanovich Rotenberg is a major businessman, owner of a billion dollar fortune, an honored coach of the country.“And on the tatami there I will arrange judo for you! And on the tatami there I will show from and to. And on the tatami there will be grips, like in a movie. And on the tatami there you would have torn off your kimono!
The last phrase is probably sexual overtones. The video ends with the fact that Karina several times, as it seems from the outside, exclaims hysterically: “Who is great? I'm fine fellow!". We will return to this clip, but for now we will give a few more strokes from the family life of one of the most powerful businessmen in the country.
How kind everyone is!
Six months before the events described, Karina Rotenberg gave an interview to Tatler magazine. Knowing the style of the publication, you can not even read the material. And so it is clear what will be there: luxury, a woman who knows her own worth, who has high moral character, love, warm, sophisticated relationship, mansion, thoughtful interior, exciting the heart of the reader human history etc. etc. But in addition to all these attributes, the article has several important details. Karina says that Boris Rotenberg does not often visit their estate in southeastern France. He works very hard, especially devotes a lot of time to supporting Russian sports, communicating with the boys who go in for karting ... But Karina got used to the fact that she does not see her husband so often, because she fell in love with him for his kindness.
In general, the words "kindness", "kind" - are found in this interview very often. For example, a lady takes care of homeless animals. And somewhat strangely and incoherently answers the question of a journalist about helping children: “This is difficult question. Do not know. If everyone was a little kinder, the world would be kinder. There is no point in sitting and being angry. After all, help is different - not only money. Everyone can donate a couple of hours a week or even a month to someone in need, go to a shelter, just walk the dog. She is waiting for attention and affection. From this, the person will become warmer. ” We will not comment on these words, but rather try to summarize public performance wife and mother of three children /boris-rotenberg"> the owner of a fortune of a billion dollars.
This is not a tender for you to win
Probably, it would be a mistake to consider the wife of Boris Rotenberg an overly idealistic nature. And she is probably well aware that the word "kindness" is hardly applicable to business. The people whom journalists call “kings of the state order” are, rather, primarily characterized by other qualities. With the help of kindness, it will not work for the construction of Gazprom facilities, the Kerch Bridge and other multibillion-dollar tenders. But a lot has been written about all this in the Russian and world media, and, as a rule, it would not turn out to be flattering to call these materials flattering. Moreover, it comes to the point that a company close to the family that was engaged in the alcohol business "unexpectedly" won the competition for the New Year's illumination of Moscow ...
Well, as for kindness, the information that Forbes once gathered speaks very well about it. The journalists found out how the companies of the Rotenberg empire are managed. In short: control and loyalty. The closer to the body, the higher the salary. Ordinary employees are paid according to the market. If a simple clerk is late at work, he has the right to a cup of coffee. If the head of the department has reworked, then he is entitled to coffee with cinnamon or chocolate. Well, this is also a social package.
Perhaps that is why all these touching details of Boris Rotenberg's family life appeared in the media. A good family man, the husband of his wife, who gives him not another mega-expensive tie, but a song. But if this is PR, then, I must say, rather clumsy - arguments about helping children, which suddenly come down to the fact that you need to pay attention to the dog. As for the song, let's remember the source material. Cord mocks narrow-minded girls who are striving for a glamorous life with all their might, and flavors all this with a portion of the mat. And here in the image of a character that the whole country laughed at, a girl who achieved such a life. And it got even funnier.
For more than half a century he has been on friendly terms with Vladimir Putin. As children, they were engaged in the same sports section in the Japanese martial art - judo and the domestic martial art - sambo.
