Just recently, the Oktyabr Cinema premiered the action-adventure film “Major in Dubai,” starring Pavel Priluchny. This time, the third full-length film in the franchise, which continues the series, takes place in luxurious Dubai. While the main character, “Major” Priluchny, didn't show up, the 36-year-old model, Miss Russia finalist, Rublyovka resident, and ex-wife of TV presenter Dmitry Dibrov posed for quite some time for the gossip columnists.
Recently, the mother of three has been increasingly appearing in public, attending premieres and social events. While the dust has settled over her divorce, Polina is basking in the spotlight, emphasizing that she has no intention of withdrawing into herself; on the contrary, she wants to develop, travel, and experience new things. Dibrova insists that all changes should be viewed as a chance to start anew, not as an irrevocable loss.
– Polina, the main character of the film is a “rich kid.” How do you feel about people like that?
“The term 'rich kid' has always had a negative connotation in society. But thanks to the film, attitudes toward such people are changing. In many cases, being rich is a doomed story; someone is simply born into a wealthy family and, a priori, becomes a rich kid in the eyes of others. I think you need to understand the person, not just start your acquaintance with the word 'rich kid.'”
– And you yourself are a spendthrift, can you “spend a little”?
“No, I live within my means. But sometimes I can spend a large sum on an experience. If clothes make a strong impression on me, then I'll definitely buy them and spend the money.”
– You’re wearing such a bright outfit today: a green pantsuit with a purple turtleneck.
“I love bright combinations in clothing, color contrasts. I'm not afraid to be bold. But in everyday life, I prefer comfort: loose fits, oversized pieces—I lead an active lifestyle…”
– What are you up to now? Hobbies, interests? Do you have enough time for the kids and the house?
“I don't really have time for hobbies. I have my own women's Dibrova Club, and this morning I held an open brunch. Three new residents joined, and they're bright, extraordinary women—businesswomen, mothers of many children, athletes, and creative individuals. And at home now, in the autumn blues, we spend more time in the kitchen. The kids and I are cooking: we bake muffins, make vareniki, and we even learned how to make chocolate fondant.”
– Are you generally a strict mother? Do your children have responsibilities around the house?
“I consider myself a modern mother and always respect my children's privacy: I never enter their room without knocking, and I don't check their phone messages. I think that's wrong. We have a housekeeper, but the kids help with cleaning and washing dishes. By the way, journalists have suggested introducing community cleanup days. Maybe we should do that.”
– You and Dmitry recently separated, right? Do you have a new house?
“Not far. Three houses away. Which is quite convenient; I didn't have to call a truck to move all my things.”
Dima and I have done our best to ensure that the children can visit both homes without any obstacles. Even though we've separated, we've maintained a friendly relationship for the children's sake and are doing everything we can to ensure their well-being.
They probably worry, but it's not very noticeable. We don't divide any responsibilities between Mom and Dad; everything is mutually agreed upon; whatever happens, happens.
– Do you think it’s important to maintain good relations with your exes?
“You need to listen to your intuition and inner voice. Situations vary, but I need to think first and foremost about my sons. Three of them! When their future depends on you, it's important to do everything possible to live peacefully with your husband. It's clear that over time, a man will become increasingly distant, and his spending patterns will likely shift. Well, time will tell.”
– Polina, what are your plans for life – what are they in the near future?
– Vacation! The guys and I are going to Africa, to South Africa! To see giraffes! A dream come true! So today we're at the premiere, tomorrow we're on a plane.
“We're jealous!” And one last question: Dmitry will soon be celebrating his 66th birthday. Will you be giving him any gifts?
– Well, the children will definitely cook something for him, and I… will help.
