An excerpt characterizing Trump, Ivan

His activity in Moscow is as amazing and ingenious as elsewhere. Orders after orders and plans after plans come from him from the moment he enters Moscow until he leaves it. The absence of residents and deputations, and the fire of Moscow itself, do not bother him. He does not lose sight of either the good of his army, or the actions of the enemy, or the good of the peoples of Russia, or the administration of the valleys of Paris, or diplomatic considerations about the forthcoming conditions of peace.

In military terms, immediately upon entering Moscow, Napoleon strictly orders General Sebastiani to follow the movements of the Russian army, sends corps along different roads, and orders Murat to find Kutuzov. Then he diligently orders the strengthening of the Kremlin; then he makes an ingenious plan for a future campaign across the entire map of Russia. In terms of diplomacy, Napoleon calls to himself the robbed and ragged captain Yakovlev, who does not know how to get out of Moscow, sets out to him in detail all his policy and his generosity and, writing a letter to Emperor Alexander, in which he considers it his duty to inform his friend and brother that Rostopchin badly ordered in Moscow, he sends Yakovlev to Petersburg. Having set out in the same detail his views and generosity before Tutolmin, he sends this old man to St. Petersburg for negotiations.
With respect to the legal, immediately after the fires, it was ordered to find the perpetrators and execute them. And the villain Rostopchin is punished by being ordered to burn his houses.
With regard to the administrative, Moscow was granted a constitution, a municipality was established, and the following was promulgated:
“Citizens of Moscow!
Your misfortunes are cruel, but his majesty the emperor and the king wants to stop the course of these. Terrible examples have taught you how he punishes disobedience and crime. Strict measures are taken to stop the mess and return general security. The paternal administration, elected from among yourselves, will be your municipality or city government. It will care about you, about your needs, about your benefit. Its members are distinguished by a red ribbon, which will be worn over the shoulder, and the head of the city will have a white belt over it. But, excluding the time of their office, they will only have a red ribbon around their left arm.

The president's first wife, Czech Ivana Trump, is eager to take over as US ambassador to the Czech Republic. But will she succeed? Trump, of course, supports his women, but he never allows them to sit on his neck. Although there are more than enough people who want to ride on his scruff to a luxurious future. The current wife of the billionaire Melania told how often women, having lost all shame, handed business cards with their phones to the billionaire right in front of her.

After Donald Trump became the winner in the November 2016 US presidential election, his wives (former and present), children, relatives came under close attention of the press. Everyone immediately remembered the details of the scandalous divorce, the main characters of which were Ivana Trump and Donald Trump. Further in the article, we will talk about the first wife of the new US president, a successful business woman, about the history of their acquaintance and separation. We think you will also be interested to know what she is doing today.

Ivana Trump: biography, early years

Future business woman and socialite was born in 1949 in Czechoslovakia. Her parents, the Zelnichek couple, were simple employees: her father was an engineer, and her mother was a telephone operator. However, they had serious plans for the future of their only daughter. From the early childhood they devoted much time to its upbringing and development. She studied well at school, and also went to the ski section.

Growing up, she made great strides in sports. Competitions, victories, recognition! At school, everything was also excellent for her, and then she entered the University of Prague. Besides, she was real beauty, with a catchy appearance, a magnificent figure. All this foreshadowed the girl brilliant career and an unusual future. Although in socialist Czechoslovakia it could hardly have had any serious prospects.

Youth

Ivana Trump was considered one of the most prominent Czech girls among her peers. Her first love was the famous poet J. Steidl. However, shortly after they met, he died in a car accident. Ivana endured this loss very hard, and at that time Soviet troops invaded the country, the Czech Republic found itself in a very difficult situation.

And then Ivana Trump (Zelnicek) decided to go to the West. Upon learning that her colleague, a member of the Czech ski team Georgy Syrovatki, was going to emigrate to Canada, she hastily married him. Once on the American continent, the newlyweds founded a sports school and a shop selling ski equipment. At first, Ivana Trump, whose biography is presented in this article, tried to be a businesswoman, but then she decided to take advantage of her beauty and became a model, signing a contract with the best modeling agency in Montreal. And so, as part of fashion models, she went on a business trip to New York.

Ivana Trump and Donald Trump: Acquaintance

One late evening, beautiful models, among whom was a Czech skier, decided to have fun in a nightclub, but there were no free tables. And then a blue-eyed blonde appeared and said that he would fix this problem. Ivana turned to her friends and, rolling her eyes, said that they would have to spend the evening in the company of this eccentric. Everyone laughed. However, the gentleman was not intrusive. He just disappeared.

The girls spent several hours at the club, danced to their heart's content, treated themselves to delicious cocktails, and when they demanded the bill, they were told that the same blue-eyed blonde had paid the bill. They were even more surprised: to pay for everything and demand nothing in return? Incredible! Leaving the premises, they saw a limousine parked at the club, from where the same generous gentleman came out and offered to take them to the right place. It was Donald Trump, who at first sight fell in love with a beautiful Czech woman. Then they met for a while, and then he invited her to become his wife. And soon new initials were written in her passport - Ivana Trump.

Married to a billionaire

After meeting with Donald, she instantly forgot that she had a husband in Canada. When Donald found out that she was a champion skier, he invited her to the expensive Aspen resort. She, of course, agreed. This was followed by a marriage proposal, to which Ivan, of course, gave a positive answer. Their wedding was included in the Guinness Book of Records for its luxury and the amount of money spent.

Further, Donald and Ivana Trump began to live a happy family life. The billionaire husband did not refuse her anything, she had everything that she did not even dream of. Then they had a replenishment in the family, then another, and then a third, and life revolved around the children. The children of Trump and Ivana are simply magnificent: beautiful, healthy, and most importantly, happy. Two boys and a daughter. Her happy father decided to name Slavic name in honor of mother. So, another Ivana Trump appeared in the family. By the way, their first son was also named after his father Donald. To the youngest son got the name Eric.

Successful business woman

Ivana had excellent taste. She was vice president of the Trump empire and was responsible for the interior design of all the skyscrapers and hotels owned by her husband. She was also involved in the modeling business, did not forget about training, and, well, she was engaged in raising her wonderful children. They often received offers from glossy magazines to present happy family and put their photos on the covers.

Divorce

And then one day thunder struck. Headlines appeared in the press saying that the couple was on the verge of breaking up. And then there were publications telling that the souls of the spouses who doted on each other broke up, and the divorce case was so loud that there was probably no such person in the country who would not have heard of him.

So why did Donald Trump divorce Ivana Trump? Yes, everything is very banal: a catwoman ran between them. The billionaire apparently wanted to inhale freshness and he started a young mistress - Marla Maples, who, like her first wife, was a model. Since both were public figures, this connection was quickly leaked to the press.

At first, the mother of three children and the lawful wife of Donald Ivana Trump decided to fight for the preservation of the family, but her rival was very tenacious and publicly humiliated the lawful wife of her lover. The proud Slav could not bear this insult and decided to divorce. By the way, it was thanks to this that she became one of the most famous women in the United States.

The court's decision

So, in 1992, a lawsuit was filed. Ivana had one of the best lawyers in the country, who was able to skillfully conduct the case, as a result of which she sued the billionaire for an amount that was several times higher than that recorded in the marriage contract. No one knows the specific number, but there are rumors that thanks to the court decision, she became $ 20 million richer.

The children of Trump and Ivana, of course, stayed with their mother, but she allowed them to meet with their father. In addition to money, she got a ranch in Connecticut, worth $ 14 million, the right to use the family estate in Pam Beach and 5 million for its maintenance. All of America supported the brave Czech woman, who decided to teach her traitor husband a lesson. When Ivan also remained all donated to her ex-husband gifts, including jewelry. By the way, after the divorce, each of the spouses wrote a book: it is about how to divorce her husband, and he is an appeal to men about how to divorce without significant losses.

Ivana Trump: personal life

After her divorce from her second husband, this process became common for her. After Trump, she had an Italian, handsome man, Riccardo Mazzucchelli. She could only live with him for two years. By the way, a divorce from an Italian also brought her a lot of profit, as a result of which she decided to expand the range of activities, opened a company for the production of haute couture clothes, accessories and cosmetics.

Her boyfriends changed one another. And only with three of them she decided to enter into a legal relationship. Everyone else was on short period until they get bored. It is interesting to know that her fourth husband was also an Italian. And he was 23 years younger. Today she is 67 years old, she looks great and meets with young lovers.

In fashion, there are other role models: in the 80s, Ivana Trump, the wife of a billionaire, a socialite originally from Czechoslovakia, set the style, as if she had come to the real world from the TV series Dynasty. The fall-winter season of 2016 was the return of the “80s mogul” style to politics and to the catwalks.

Asymmetrical dresses with sequins that bare one shoulder, miniskirts, bright makeup and bleached hair, which took liters of lacquer to style - this is how Ivana Trump, nee Zelnichkova, looked like an athlete-skier and model from Czechoslovakia, who in 1977 became the wife of an American millionaire Donald Trump. Her outfits were mesmerizing.

Literally dazzling cocktail dresses, giant fur coats and high bouffants: the conditional Ellochka the cannibal must have gone crazy with such luxury.

“First time in New York, this girl began to carefully style her hair in a hairstyle resembling a helmet, and wearing flowing silk dresses; her idea of ​​rich American women may have been based on American films she saw as a child, Vanity Fair wrote about Ivan in a 1990 article about her divorce from Donald Trump. “After all the years that Ivana spent in luxurious apartments in New York, she never learned what it really means to be rich, she did not learn the art of restraint.”

She didn’t learn this either by 1990 or 2016: at 67, she still wears shiny dresses with deep necklines, does not hide her knees and styles her hair in a manner close to our ladies (dyed blonde hair, bangs, twisted on the back of the head there is a roller-babette: which of us will be surprised by this?).

True, now the style of Ivana Trump is perceived differently, and only fashion designers who are tired of minimalism, conciseness, complex cuts and intricate concepts should be blamed for this.

In the fall-winter 2016 season, several fashion designers turned to the style of the future first wife of the US president at once: pretty beige tunics, perfectly fitting black trousers and tweed suits, fashion wants fun, drama, excitement! It's funny, but after the US elections, redundancy abruptly ceases to be evidence of bad taste. In the 21st century, the passion for baroque stucco in all its manifestations is ready to wake up in us again. And in fashion as well.

"This decade isn't celebrated with much glee, but the '80s borderline luxury is definitely coming to the fore this season," said Lisa Aiken, fashion director of online retailer Net-a-Porter, in an interview with correspondent. “We are fascinated by wide belts that, when worn over any mini dress or oversized blazer, immediately refer to the 80s. Balmain, Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent have shown such examples.”

Wide belts - yes. And also pointed pumps with stilettos, huge earrings, handbags with chains instead of straps, fishnet tights: if you put on all this not at once, but separately, it turns out quite modern. And if you add here the cocktail dresses that Hedi Slimane suggested wearing in his farewell collection for Saint Laurent, blazers with huge shoulders, leather, velvet and leopard print, which appeared in almost every collection this season, it becomes clear: soon in stores again there will be no hairspray and platinum blond color for them.

For those who recall the fashion of the 80s with horror, it all sounds like a real nightmare: neither before nor after the clothes looked like such a slap in the face of good taste as they did in that decade.

However, it seems that now we will generally have to assimilate new democratic ideas about good taste: after all, style icons like and are already wearing leopard print with might and main.

Now Ivana Trump is finally coming out of the shadows. According to the New York Post, she has already proposed her candidacy for the post of US ambassador to the Czech Republic. “I come from there, I know the language, and everyone there knows me,” she told the publication. “I am very famous all over the world. Not only in America. I have written three books that have been published in 40 countries and translated into 25 languages. Everyone knows my name - Ivana. I don't even need to add Trump's last name."

It is not known if he will new president The United States is her proposal, but her name is really known outside the United States: in the 80s, she symbolized the dream of all girls from Eastern Europe.

Today she is the muse of fashion designers. You may not believe it now, but when you see a girl in a leopard fur coat on a trolley bus, know that she was inspired by the first wife of the American president. Because the 80s seem to be really back. Now for real.
