Darya "Dasha" Alexandrovna Zhukova (Template:Lang-ru; born 8 June 1981) is a Russian-born businesswoman, art collector, and magazine editor. The girlfriend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, she acquired a reputation as an art collector (the Wall Street Journal referred to her "burgeoning arts empire"), and founded the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow, underwritten in part by Abramovich's investment firm Millhouse.
Life & Work
Zhukova was born in Moscow in 1981. Her father is Alexander Radkin Zhukov, an oil trader. Her mother is Elena Zhukova, a Russian scientist who is now retired from UCLA where she taught molecular biology. Her parents split when she was three. At the age of 10 she moved with her mother to the United States. Her mother is Jewish and her father is Christian; she says she identifies more with her mother's religion. She lived in Houston, Texas in the early 90s and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Zhukova attended a Jewish day-school in California. She attended Pacific Hills School and graduated in 1999. She graduated with honors from the University of California, Santa Barbara with degrees in Slavic Studies and Literature. After becoming involved with Roman Abramovich she returned to Moscow and later moved to London. In 2004, she entered London’s College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Zhukova is affiliated with New Holland Development (NHD, a Millhouse group company financially backed by Abramovitch) that on 15 November 2010 won an investment tender held by the city of Saint Petersburg to redevelop historical New Holland Island.
In February 2009, Zhukova was appointed editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Pop. Many in the industry saw her as an unlikely replacement for widely respected launch editor Katie Grand. The experiment lasted three issues, and she resigned from that position in November 2010.
Personal life
Her partner is Roman Abramovich, a Russian oligarch and the main owner of the private investment company Millhouse LLC. The couple have two children.
