Marina Yudashkina, the widow of iconic fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin, has published a classic wedding photograph of her daughter Galina to mark her marriage anniversary.
The photograph, shared on her social media account, shows Galina standing alongside her husband, Petr Maksakov, during their wedding celebrations.
The couple officially registered their marriage in 2014 at Moscow's historic Griboyedovsky Registry Office. Following their formal legal registration, the couple held a full wedding celebration one year later.
Writing in an accompanying caption, Yudashkina congratulated her daughter and son-in-law on their anniversary, noting that 12 years had elapsed. She stated that they had given the family wonderful grandchildren, wished them happiness, and declared her love for them.
Recent family updates in Miami
The anniversary tribute comes shortly after Galina Yudashkina shared rare media of her family online. In July, the businesswoman published a collection of photographs and video clips featuring Valentin Yudashkin's three grandchildren.
The uploaded content depicted the grown-up children spending time at the Museum of Chocolate in Miami, Florida, offering followers a rare glimpse into the family's personal life abroad.
The Yudashkin fashion legacy
Valentin Yudashkin was one of Russia's most renowned haute couture fashion designers, recognized internationally for his elaborate embroidery, evening wear, and theatrical runway shows in Paris, Milan, and Moscow. Before his death in 2023, he established Russia's first major international fashion house, designing uniforms, red-carpet gowns, and stage costumes for prominent cultural figures.
Since his passing, his widow Marina Yudashkina has frequently shared memories of the designer alongside updates on their family life. Their daughter Galina, who has served as a senior executive and creative director within the fashion brand, manages business operations while raising her three children with Maksakov.
Maksakov, an entrepreneur who completed his higher education in England and Moscow, stems from a well-known family in Russian culture and diplomacy. The couple's chosen venue for their 2014 registration, the Griboyedovsky Registry Office, officially designated as Wedding Palace No. 1, is Moscow's most famous registry hall, traditionally hosting weddings for high-profile artists, public figures, and celebrities.
The anniversary image was shared on Instagram, the global image-sharing platform operated by Meta Platforms, which is officially listed as an extremist organization in Russia.
