The 37-year-old famous volleyball player of the Russian national team Yekaterina Gamova in 2012 married the son of Svetlana Druzhinina and Anatoly Mukasey - Mikhail. And although Svetlana Sergeevna, despite her considerable age, is an active user of social networks, family pictures in her account appear very rarely, and Ekaterina does not have them at all.
Therefore, the photo, in which the entire famous family appeared in full force, became a wonderful gift for Druzhinina's fans.

Fans did not stint on compliments to a beautiful and friendly family, especially since Svetlana Sergeevna and Anatoly Mikhailovich are for many a role model and a model for a married couple.
However, the unfortunate angle that the photographer chose could not go unnoticed even by the director's fans. It is known that Ekaterina is a famous athlete who played for the Russian national volleyball team, and representatives of this sport are tall. It's no secret that Catherine's height is 2 meters 2 centimeters, and with such a growth, a large leg size is not at all uncommon, so the athlete is the owner of a very impressive size 49.

In a family photo, Catherine's legs in open sandals were in the foreground, so, willy-nilly, the feet of the volleyball player attracted increased attention.
"What a size!"
"They all have legs, what kind of people are looking for flaws everywhere"
"Fire this photographer! What kind of feet are these, the first time I see this, some sandals are more than the people in the photo!"
"I would use such legs, I would walk on my hands. It's not less than 47"
"And straight legs, now legs, so legs .. Size 45-47."
"What an unfortunate angle ... only legs, feet and boots are in the foreground."
By the way, Ekaterina Gamova is not only a renowned athlete. Last year, which tells about wealth and poverty, about love and betrayal, about moments of happiness and torments of disappointment.

At the Athens Olympic Games, the leadership and skill of Ekaterina Gamova were fully manifested - she, along with her teammate Lyubov Sokolova, took responsibility for the offensive game. At the Olympics, Gamova showed the best results among all the volleyball players of this tournament - she scored as much as 204 points! (attack-160, block -31, feed-13). As a player on the block, Ekaterina Gamova had no equal. In attacks, Gamow became the third in the tournament. In the final, Russia lost to the Chinese national volleyball team. By all accounts, it was the most beautiful game of the Olympics. In it, Ekaterina Gamova scored 33 points, and in a post-match interview she told reporters that our team has something to strive for. At the same time, Katya gave vent to emotions, and tears flowed down her cheeks. And everyone understood that she was not just a strong athlete, but also a simple girl with her feelings and experiences.
In 2004, Ekaterina Gamova decided to leave the Uralochka volleyball club and move to the Dynamo Moscow volleyball club. Although the contract was until 2013. One of the district courts of Yekaterinburg made a decision to terminate the contract between Ekaterina Gamova and the Uralochka volleyball club, and at the end of 2004 Gamova moved to the Dynamo club.
Ekaterina Gamova received a diploma from the Academy of Physical Education, and in 2005 she entered the Russian State Social University to study journalism.
In 2005, the new and former volleyball teams of Ekaterina Gamova played in the final of the Russian volleyball championship, Dynamo could not provide Uralochka with weighty arguments and was defeated. From 2006 to 2009, Ekaterina Gamova, as part of the Dynamo volleyball club, three times became the champion of Russia in volleyball and once took second place in the national championship.
After the Italian Giovanni Caprare became the coach of our volleyball team, Gamova no longer sat in reserve, but took part in all international tournaments. In 2006, our volleyball team won the world volleyball title for the first time. In the final, Russia met with the Brazilian national volleyball team, Katya Gamova scored 28 points in the meeting.

The 2009-2010 sports season Ekaterina Gamova played in the Turkish club Fenerbahce. The club won the Turkish Super Cup. Club "Fenerbahce" did not know defeat, lost only in the Champions League final - it was the 39th game of the season.

As part of the Kazan volleyball club "Dynamo", athlete Yekaterina Gamova won the championship of our country in 2011, and also won the Russian Cup. At both tournaments, she was recognized as the best volleyball player. Ekaterina Gamova decided to play in the Kazan volleyball club for at least two more years, which she signed the corresponding agreement about.
Ekaterina Gamova was born on October 17, 1980 in the city of Chelyabinsk. She was raised by her mother alone, since her father abandoned the girl when he found out about pregnancy. Katya's upbringing was helped by her mother's sister, Lyubov Borisovna, who later became the first coach in the life of the future star.
Gamow grew at an incredible pace, and at the age of 11, her height was already 172 centimeters. Probably, she also stretched out because of her love for sports competitions. The girl managed to play not only volleyball, but also basketball and handball. But just at the age of 11, it was time to finally decide on the section, and Ekaterina opted for the Metar volleyball sports school.
The successes of such a gifted teenager could not go unnoticed. At the age of 14, Gamova was enrolled in the professional team Metar, "and two years later she was already holding in her hands her first serious award - the Cup of Russia. It should be noted that Catherine did not forget about education either. In 2004, the athlete received a diploma from the Ural State Academy of Physical Culture, and later also graduated from the Russian State Social University, where she comprehended the science of journalism.
In 1998, Ekaterina Gamova was invited to one of the best Russian clubs, the Yekaterinburg Uralochka. The honor of this invitation was also in the fact that the team was coached by the coach of the Russian national team Nikolai Karpol. Here, for the first time, a volleyball player became a medalist and winner of the national championship. The girl also performed excellently at international competitions.
Later, the athlete went to the site in the form of Moscow "Dynamo", Istanbul "Fenerbahce", Kazan "Dynamo" and the Russian national team, having won a lot of team and individual trophies. For example, only recently she was called the most productive volleyball player at the Final Four in Cannes, the Lyudmila Buldakova Prize was awarded three times as the best player in the Russian championship, and in 2014, in the Champions League and the World Club Championship, Ekaterina was recognized as the most valuable athlete.
The 2015/2016 season was a little less successful for Gamova than all the previous ones, primarily due to the recurrence of an old leg injury. The girl had to miss many fights, and on May 18, 2016, on the live broadcast of the Match TV channel, Ekaterina announced the termination of her professional career due to her health condition.
But Gamova's achievements will definitely not be forgotten, since the unique athlete will enter the chronicle of Russian sports of all times, and many volleyball fans will remember Catherine's victories and all that she did to popularize domestic sports in the world.
At the beginning of 2017, Ekaterina Gamova was appointed curator of the Russian women's junior teams and assistant coach of the Russian U18 national team. At Gamova's debut tournament as a coach, the European Women's Championship held in April in the Netherlands, the Russian team won gold medals. According to the results of the world championship in this category, held in Argentina in August, the Russian team took third place.

In the past six months, the best volleyball player in the history of the country, Yekaterina Gamova, could more and more often be seen not on sports grounds, but in television studios and on the covers of magazines. It seems that soon volleyball fans will have to get used to the new role of Ekaterina Gamova.
In the meantime, she prepares to enter the court to play her last match of her career. And what a match! Two Dynamos, Kazan and Moscow, in which Gamova played at different stages of her career, will put on a real show so that the farewell to Catherine the Great will be remembered for a long time. On the eve of the match, which will be held in Kazan, Yekaterina Gamova met with journalists. The meeting was also attended by the correspondent of AiF-Kazan.
"I'm leaving no later and not earlier"
- Ekaterina, is it sad to realize that you are ending your career?
Not really. I do not see anything sad in this, for me this is a pleasant time. Even this farewell match I perceive as a holiday: a holiday for me, for the fans who will see the game of the two best teams in the country. I am overwhelmed with only positive emotions.

- You haven't played for a very long time, almost half a year. Can you show your level in the game with the volleyball players of the national team?
All this time, I did not stop working out in the gym, I kept in shape. I think that not everything is so critical. Let's hope that we will play "fresh".
In 2010, Dynamo Kazan had carte blanche to sign players of the highest level. They waited for one thing - will Gamow cross? Negotiations went on for more than six months, and when the contract was signed, literally within a week other stars of national volleyball came to the club. A team was built around Catherine the Great. And they did not lose: five won Russian championships in a row, two Russian Cups, the World Club Championship and the Champions League - all these trophies have been won since the 2010/2011 season.
- Do you think you decided to end your career early? Or maybe they delayed it?
It seems to me that I am leaving no later and not earlier. Everything has its time. In principle, I did not plan to continue playing, but the main reason was my injury, which tormented me in recent years. Is there a chance that I will change my mind? 0%. In recent years, I got used to the fact that in the summer I have a vacation, and in the fall a new season begins, training resumes and I re-enter the regime. I thought that this time in the fall, too, it would start “breaking”, but nothing of the kind - I don’t want to play.
Dynamo Kazan and the pink contract
- Do you remember how you ended up at Dynamo Kazan?
Then I had the option of moving to Kazan or Krasnodar. Sergei Nikolaevich (Chernyshov, director of ZhVK "Dynamo-Kazan" - author's note) immediately won me over, we found a common language. “Ask what you want, even a pink contract,” he joked then. Well, I was joking, so all my contracts with Dynamo in the end were printed on pink paper - such a tradition that emerged from a joke.
Of course, at that moment I did not go anywhere. As an athlete, I looked at the players who were on the team, I looked at the coach. It was with him that I really wanted to work.

Unrealized dream
During her long career, Ekaterina Gamova has won all the team and individual awards that were possible. Except for one - she never won the Olympic gold. Twice she was close to him, but in 2000 in Sydney and in 2004 in Athens, the Russian national team lost in the final.
- Is there any regret that you never won Olympic gold?
You know, no. I consider my career to be very successful, but I cannot be upset that I do not have one medal. If earlier I said that I would give everything for the gold of the Olympics, now I have a completely different opinion.
- Do you want to try your hand at being a coach?
No. I will not be a coach, or a deputy, or a sports journalist, and I am not going to the cinema either. Life is very bright and multifaceted, there are many different directions in which I would try myself. I will definitely not go to cinema and politics. Show Business? This is quite interesting and familiar to me. If before I could not devote a lot of time to such events, now I have plenty of it. Out of the ordinary, this winter I plan to finally start downhill skiing.
From Kazan, Ekaterina will move to Moscow, where her husband lives. In the photo with her husband's parents - Anatoly Mukasey and Svetlana Druzhinina, famous filmmakers. Photo: Dynamo Kazan
- Is it difficult to reorganize to a normal life after sports?
I have my own things to do, plans. A lot of filming and interviews, I go to fitness. It turns out that I still have almost every day planned out. It is clear that it is a completely different matter, but still. I want to make the house comfortable and, in general, do all those simple and ordinary things that are inherent in ordinary women.
Volleyball after Gamova
Ekaterina sits at a press conference surrounded by huge cups - all those awards that she won with the team. Over the years, she has played at the highest level, being the real face, the brand of the entire world volleyball. In previous years, injuries miraculously bypassed her, but after all, sport is, first of all, physical activity, which simply could not sooner or later not make itself felt.
So Gamova's body began to malfunction more and more often, for the entire last season, Gamow healed a knee injury more than she played ... But the decision turned out to be firm and instead of leaving to finish the game abroad, Gamova decided to open her own volleyball school.
“It was my idea to create Gamova's school and I am very glad that they went to see me. Of course, now I will spend most of my time in Moscow - after all, I and my whole family have been living in this city for the last 12 years. I understand that it is not enough just to name the school by your name, so I will try to come to Kazan as often as possible, communicate with the girls who will study there, conduct master classes and help in every way. Of course, they will have a coach, but I would also like to take part in this as far as possible. "Gamow leaves volleyball, but her name is forever inscribed in the history of this sport. Last season, Dynamo Kazan did not win a single trophy, and changes are coming in the Russian team. Is there life after Gamova? Of course! Apart from this school in Kazan, with her career, her outstanding game and attitude to business, she has already led a huge number of children from all over the country to volleyball, who grew up following her example. This is probably why she is Catherine the Great - not so much because of all these cups and medals, but for what she did for her sport.
By the way, Dynamo Kazan decided to withdraw Gamova's number from circulation. Now a jersey with her name and number 11 will be displayed under the arches of the local volleyball center.
The father of the famous volleyball player left her pregnant mother and never saw her daughter
In March 2011, the best volleyball player in Russia was invited to advertise a furniture showroom, and it was there, on the set of the video, that she met her fate - cameraman Mikhail MUKASEI - the son of the masters of Russian cinema "midshipmen's mother" directed by Svetlana DRUZHININA and her husband - cameraman Anatoly MUKASE ...
On August 17, the young people played a wedding, renting for this the yacht club "River Lounge" in Strogino, where the cost of a banquet for 100 guests is 500 thousand rubles. Plus the services of florists, stylists, musicians, toastmaster, transport and so on - another 500 thousand. In total, the wedding cost a tidy sum.
Among the relatives and close friends of the family, the aunt was also present at the wedding. Ekaterina Gamova- Lyubov Borisovna, sister of the athlete's deceased mother, and, by the way, her first volleyball coach. It was she who shared her joy with the readers of Express Gazeta and told us the details of the happiest moment in the life of her famous niece.
I learned about the wedding back in the winter. Last spring, my niece met Mikhail Mukasey on the set of a commercial for a furniture showroom. Before the anniversary of their acquaintance, they announced that they would sign after the London Olympics. The date of the wedding was chosen in advance. When the Russian national team fought with rivals from different countries, I was also in London. Supported my girl as best she could. But I didn't get to the match where we lost to the Brazilians. Katya did not manage to get me a ticket.
White dress
- Was the wedding according to Russian traditions - with the ransom of the bride?
Misha had a hard time. Katyusha has an apartment on Shabolovka on the 18th floor. Girlfriends have come up with various funny obstacles for the groom. Imagine how much sweat, effort and effort he put in to get to the apartment of his beloved woman! - For Gamova's height of 202 centimeters, it was probably difficult to find a dress in wedding salons?- With the dress, such a background. Katya had her favorite white dress with spaghetti straps, but very short. You can’t go to a registry office yourself. She decided that she should definitely come up with a long skirt for the top. It was made to order. It turned out to be a magnificent outfit. - The newlyweds refused to shoot many weddings. But at the celebration, judging by the pictures you have taken, there are cameras. - These are specially hired professionals. Photo and video for family history. There was a small commotion at the entrance to the registry office on the street. The bride, groom and guests were waiting for an invitation to register, and literally a hundred meters from us, someone staged a picket in support of the members of the Pussy Riot group, who were sentenced to two years in a general regime colony for hooliganism in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Journalists came running to the picketers. Noticing them, Katya became nervous. There was nowhere to hide. Then she took a pink cape from a friend and covered her head.

- Now it is not fashionable to walk at a wedding for two days. How were the guys?
On Friday they signed, then accepted gifts at a restaurant in Strogino. On Saturday, August 18, we walked at the wedding of Katina's friend, a volleyball player Olesya Makhno... And on Sunday, the newlyweds arranged for their guests a continuation of the banquet on the yacht. They gathered everyone in Serebryany Bor. We organized a fiery volleyball match. Boys against girls. All were dressed in T-shirts and shorts. Even Mikhail's parents - Svetlana Druzhinina and Anatoly Mukasey... Mishin's dad, by the way, was rooting for the girls, and Svetlana Sergeevna - for the son's team. Mikhail, by the way, is also very athletic, pumped up, he also studied at a children's and youth sports school. The men's team was forbidden to jump, put defense. Therefore, the girls won with a score of 2: 1. Svetlana Druzhinina has organized an excellent support group. And she was the brightest and most active participant in it.
On Sunday, by the way, her other friend, a volleyball player, also played a wedding. Goncharova Katya... But she, however, officially signed it back in winter, just in the summer they staged a celebration. - Probably, they gave gorgeous gifts?- Sending invitations to the wedding to the guests, Misha and Katya made a postscript, they say, we ask you to give something that is no more than a dollar and a euro. The hint is this ... Therefore, most friends and relatives presented them with envelopes with money as a gift. And me too. After the wedding, the newlyweds went on their honeymoon to Nice. Some of the funds will be spent there. The most extraordinary of the presentations was a painting measuring 3 by 2.5 meters. It was presented to Misha by friends. The canvas depicts Katya in full growth with a volleyball net and Mikhail sitting next to him. The gift touched the newlyweds to tears. - Katya earns good money. You were her volleyball mentor since childhood. Is your niece helping you? ”“ Of course. We call each other regularly. On my 50th birthday, Katyusha gave me a trip to Paris. And recently I and her friends had a wonderful vacation in Crete. We swam, played volleyball, sunbathed. Katya was preparing for the Olympics, she could not go with us. My dream is to visit Spain. It's my birthday in a few months.
Children will wait
For Misha, this is the second marriage. I liked it very much! Very courteous, charming, it is clear that he is a very reliable, real man, and a joker. And how he loves Katya! Of course, he looked after very nicely. Just imagine, Katya and I rested in Turkey last year. And he is also in the Mediterranean, but in a different place. So every day he came to us for Katya on a specially rented liner, sailed for two and a half hours for her, took her for a ride on the sea, and in the evening he returned safe and sound! Here is such a romance ... And at the wedding, he also arranged a surprise for everyone: he quietly absent himself and changed into a Scottish skirt and let's dance on stage - he specially prepared a number, no one expected this! He danced and sang, and did not take off his skirt until the end of the wedding. By the way, the bride and groom performed a very beautiful joint dance - tango. Among the guests were stars: Dmitry Kharatyan with my wife, Alexander Domogarov... Very warm wishes were spoken to the newlyweds. But, of course, Svetlana Sergeevna and her husband Anatoly Mikhailovich spoke best of all - they have a gift! It’s immediately obvious that the directors - I don’t know how to speak fluently. They said that they liked Katya as soon as they saw her on the screen. Svetlana Sergeevna and Anatoly Mikhailovich, in their youth, also played volleyball and were captains of the national teams at VGIK, so they followed volleyball. So they fell in love with Katya long before they met her.
- Lyubov Borisovna, Katya and Mikhail are planning to have children?
Not anytime soon. Katya has a contract with Dynamo Kazan - she has another year to play for them, plus she still remains in the Russian national team. And after her honeymoon, she already has a busy training schedule. - But Mikhail has two children from his first marriages - Maxim and Liza. Does Katya know them?- Of course, Maxim was at the wedding, he and Katya have been communicating well for a long time. But Katya has not met Lizonka yet. - Was it only you among your Ural relatives at the wedding?- Yes. Katya's mother, my older sister Irina, passed away when my niece was 25 years old. Ira died of cancer. And the cousins could not come. - Was Catherine's father at the wedding?- Father? Katya has no father! He abandoned her mother as soon as he found out that she became pregnant and did not appear in their lives again. He did not help either with money or with a kind word. When Katenka was registered, we even wanted to write another patronymic in the birth certificate, but then, we thought, okay, let it be Alexandrovna. Even when Katya became famous all over the world, she didn’t call - apparently, it was a shame. This Alexander now lives in Chelyabinsk, he has a different family. On their honeymoon, the young people went to Nice with Svetlana Sergeevna and Anatoly Mikhailovich. Lyubov Borisovna would have gone too, but she did not have a Schengen visa. We got through to Anatoly Mukasey, the operator of such famous films as "Secrets of Palace Revolutions", "Scarecrow", "For Family Reasons", etc.
By the way, he is the son of the famous Soviet intelligence officers Mikhail and Elizaveta Mukaseev. It was thanks to the simultaneously complex and romantic profession of his parents that Mikhail Mukasey, as a child, sat on the lap of his uncle Theodore (American writer Theodore Dreiser) and Uncle Charlie (actor and director Charlie Chaplin) - then his parents worked in Los Angeles at the consulate Soviet Union and were friends with many Hollywood celebrities.
- Anatoly Mikhailovich, are you in Nice now? Probably you ride a yacht or jet ski?- What are all these jet skis for? Why are they? We are fine without these motorcycles. We just relax, swim, sunbathe, everything is quiet and calm. - Do you still want grandchildren?- Why not? This is a normal life process. - Maybe Katya is already expecting a baby?- Well, what are you! Katya works, works hard, she's not up to it yet. - Do you like Katya as a daughter-in-law?- She's just a wonderful girl, beautiful. We love her very much. - Does she have something in common with your wife Svetlana Sergeevna?- I haven’t figured it out yet.Secrets of family coups
Svetlana Druzhinina and Anatoly Mukasey now have three grandchildren from two sons: Daniel - from the elder Anatoly and Maxim and Liza - from the younger Mikhail. Anatoly, unfortunately, became a drug addict, and one day he jumped out of the window of a high-rise building, leaving his wife with 4-year-old son Daniel in his arms.
One day in the morning, at a special "black hour", he slapped the cologne and threw himself from the 12th floor, - says a friend Mukaseya Ivan. - He left a note that he didn’t want to be a mentally ill father for his son. The wife tore the note in her hearts.
But Daniel's mother Irina Muravyova not much outlived her husband. She was also a drug addict, and died in a domestic fight with her roommate, from whom she gave birth to a girl named Ksyusha, Danila's half-sister. Since then, Danila was taken up by her father's grandparents - Svetlana Druzhinina and Mikhail Mukasey - and his half-sister Ksyusha - his mother's grandmother. Danila is now 25 years old, he works as a sound engineer at his grandmother's studio. - I would not say that Danila has a great relationship with his grandmother and his uncle Mikhail. There were a lot of scandals, discontent, - said Danila's neighbor at the entrance. - Svetlana Sergeevna is a very domineering woman, and Danila did not like it when they point him out and crawl into his personal life. Danila is not married yet. At one time he met with a girl artist, but then they broke up.
Having overlooked the eldest son, Svetlana and Anatoly took on the younger one with all severity, and therefore the youngest son pleased them with perseverance and diligence. He never touched drugs - on the contrary, he was actively involved in sports and led an exceptionally healthy lifestyle.
I am very happy for Mikhail, - director Alexander Atanesyan wished happiness to his colleague and co-producer on the comedy “On Betrayal”. - I wish them with Katya only happiness and children. I know that Mikhail already has two children, in my opinion, from different women. God forbid, they still have children together! Mikhail, like his father, is a cameraman. He worked on such films as "Manchurian Hunt", "Down House". He also shot over 600 video clips and commercials. He is the owner of Rentacam, a company that offers film production equipment for rent, as well as a full range of services for the production of films, advertisements, clips and special effects!
The Wedding Planner
On the same day as Katya and Mikhail, volleyball players played their wedding: the diagonal of the Moscow Dynamo and the national team player Natalia Goncharova and the libero of Kazan "Zenith" and the national team Alexey Obmochaev... True, it was just a celebration, because they signed at the registry office back in March. And the next day after Katya's wedding, her friend from the Russian national volleyball team went down the aisle. Lesya Makhno by becoming engaged to a handball player of the Chekhov Bears Egor Evdokimov.

LIFE MONUMENT
At the entrance to the London Palace of Sports "Earls Court", where the Olympic volleyball tournament was held, the fans stopped in surprise and began to peer at the unusual sculpture. It turned out that this is a monument to the two-time world champion Yekaterina GAMOVA. None of the volleyball players - neither men nor women - has received such an honor.
Andrey KLINKOV
Katya has a 49th shoe size, and her height is 202 cm. Shoes and clothes are sewn to order, and sometimes she can buy something abroad. Because of its height Gamow during school years she was very worried and always sat in the class at the last desk. The boys called her names with a telegraph pole, and it seemed to Katya that she would never marry.
Gamow carefully hides his personal life. It is known that for about 10 years she lived in a civil marriage with a guy from Yekaterinburg, whom she met when playing for Uralochka. Alexey is twenty centimeters lower than Katya. In 2009, they parted, and Gamova left for Turkey, signing a contract with Fenerbahce. Later, a reconciliation took place, but the old feelings faded away. Katya made a choice in favor of Mukasey Jr.
