King's move
One of the most famous stories of the celebration of a woman in the world of men's political games are the fate of the princess Olga, the spouses of Kiev Prince Igor Rurikovich. Another girl was able to not only conquer the future ruler of Kievan Russia, but also to remain in our memory the only wife and mother of the heir. And this is despite the fact that the tradition of polygamy remained up to baptism. Before the murder of her husband, Olga remained in the chronicles only the faithful wife, albeit a lot more wise than her nepical spouse. The flourishing of its political influence began immediately after the violence over Igor. The princess was brutally set up with the swaps sent to her enemies of her husband. And then and then destroyed the tribe, guilty of the death of Igor. A strong character and firm hand quickly bowed on her side the whole squad, who accepted Olga as a legitimate government, and until the end of her life was obeyed to her. By the way, the princess died at the age of eighty, remaining even after the age of majority of his son the actual head of Kievan Rus.
Some women manage to demonstrate their power and with a living sweetheart. Anastasia Lisovskaya (according to other sources - Alexander) received political weight precisely thanks to the role of mistress, and then the wife of Sultan. Slavic concubine, named in Hürrem's harem ("Merry"), in a matter of days I won the attention of Suleiman I. The girl pushed his long-standing favorite and mother of the heir to Sultan Makhidevran. Active and active Roksolana (so called it in Europe) began to assemble the supporters around themselves and set up Suleiman against his closest companion, the great Vizier of Ibrahim. As a result of Vizier, suspected in state treason and executed, and Hurrem aimed at Suleiman's heir from the previous favorite. In the end, Sultan Casnil and his own son, the successors of the throne became children of roxolants. Even the rule of the ruler could not resist the favorite concubine, which after her death achieved an unprecedented title of official wife. Her influence on Suleiman was amazing: at the court there was not a single slave from the harem, which contradicted the traditions of the Ottoman state. Having learned to read and write in someone else's language, Roksolana became a political adviser to her husband, his trustee and the main source of information about the palace affairs. In the absence of Suleiman, she took nobles, conducted a correspondence with the European heads of state. The former concubine received a unique opportunity to build mosques, hospitals and madrasas in the capital of the empire, which was not allowed to do even to the mothers of heirs. Rocksolane seriously considered a witch - otherwise, how to explain her power over one of the greatest rulers of the Ottoman dynasty?
Secret influence
In the newest history, the repetition of the triumphal route of Roksolana is often found. The most famous mistress of the politician who managed to get the status of the wife, consider the Italian model and singer Karl Bruni. With the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy Bruni met in 2007 on a closed dinner. The head of state was experiencing a heavy divorce: the wife instructed him on the American producer, leaving the wedding ring with a pink diamond. Who knew that in less than a year almost the same stone Monsieur Sarkozy gives a new lover? The pair registered the relationship in early 2008, in order to have time for the royal reception in the UK (there, as you know, the girls in the rank of "companion" do not lead). The consequences of the novel, and then marriage with the former model did not slow down to affect. In the press, this and case picked up the spicy details of the last life of the first lady. Sarkozy ratings began to fall rapidly - to the new presidential election of 2012, his political capital rolled to zero.
The Mozambic Politician Grass Simbina managed to become a spouse of the head of state twice - not one, but two. Ambitious Grass since childhood was interested in politics and began his career in 1973, joining the front of liberation. Two years later, the newly-made president of Mozambique Samora Machel made a young woman to the Minister of Culture and Education. Loud appointment did not surprise colleagues, because immediately after him Grass and Samora became her husband and wife. The first lady was the faithful companion of the spouse even after his ministerial retirement. Well-being lanced up to the plane crash, in which Mashel died in 1986. After the death of the beloved Simbina, she took up humanitarian and charitable activities, fought for the rights of children and women and received several awards and medals. And in general, there was a life worthy of widow, while in 1996 the legendary head of South Nelson Mandel admitted: he has a novel with Grare. In July 1998, the ex-first Lady Mozambique became the first Lady South Africa - 52-year-old Symbina was combined with a marriage with eighty-year-old Mandela. Until now, she remains the only woman who was able to visit the wife of the heads of two different countries.
The most affrangous history of the mistress, who became his wife, is called the Writers of the Blanche Dapuls and Prime Minister of Australia Bob Houd. When they met, the politician no longer lived with his wife. Miss Dapulger was going to write Hawk's biography, business cooperation flowed into passionate novel. The public approved the relationship of lovers, because the couple observed decency. Lived lovers separately, never spent the night together. Dapulse independently paid a shared vacation. The media were delighted and brought their relationship as an example: they say, so people should behave, who are not allowed to enter into marriage. Hawk nevertheless took his devotee his loyal beloved, but only after the post of Prime Minister left.
And laughter and sin
The role of a mistress with a living wife is quite dubious. And if, as a result, some happy people manage to achieve official status, someone remains forever in the category of Favorite. The most famous representative of this clan is the sex symbol of the twentieth century, actress Marilyn Monroe. Her novel with the pet's favorite John Kennedy became a parable in Languages: with the exception of dubious quality of photography, no documentary confirmations of the lovelines of the movie star and Mr. President. They said that the relations of Monroe and Kennedy were disturbed by the FBI: an intrigue with a woman, which was considered "uncontrolled alcoholic," could damage the policy of politics. His wife Jacqueline did not comment on the rumors about the amourous affairs of the spouse. After her time, her biographers assured that this story caused Jackie suffering, but, like a real lady, she did not consider it necessary to demonstrate their world. Monroe also complied with external decency: he was on the White House only at official invitations, did not appear in any of the well-known reports of the FBI. The only testimony of her feelings can be called Congratulations to Kennedy Happy Birthday in 1962: Song "Happy Birthday, Mr. PRESIDENT "flew around the planet. Today, the secret love Marilyn and the head of the United States call the main cause of her mysterious death in August 1962. A policeman who discovered the body of the actress, decided that she was killed. Only a few days later, the investigation put forward the official version of the suicide Monroe.
The intrigue of the following heroes ended not so tragic. Monica Levinsky went to work on a white house aged twenty-two and immediately fascinated President Bill Clinton. According to her, the head of state constantly pursued it with ambiguous hints. Modest Levinsky rested (almost): the scandalous sexual connection with Clinton began later, after its transfer from the Government House in the Pentagon. The famous blue dress with traces of the physical proximity of the girl and the president is still a symbol of a handsome adultery. The exposition was like a farce, even despite the fact that it took a serious turn for Bill. Their connection was the reason for the failed impeachment, and the clinton political rating went down to the zero mark. The lies about the famous "nine episodes" with Levinsky cost a class of twenty-five thousand dollars fine. It is significant that Hillary Clinton has fully supported her husband during the proceedings. Subsequently, Mrs. Clinton gave her the opportunity to make a successful career. But the questioned president disappeared from the political arena. Monica Levinsky recently admitted that he regrets communication with the US head. However, repentance does not prevent her from letting the books of memories of their adventures in an oval office.
The rash connection with colleagues almost never brings to good. It would be worthwhile to know the Prime Minister of Great Britain, John Major, the scandal arranged by his mistress, worthy of a separate word. Major was caught in an intrigue with the former head of the Ministry of Health Edwina Curry. It is known thanks to more than frank memories of the ladies and policies he himself, which she released in many thousands. This book is nothing but revenge. Throughout the time, while a secret connection lasted, Major publicly humiliated Evina, criticized her activities and doubted competence. The case is known when the Prime Minister standing applauded, having learned that his secret gap did not pass to parliament. But with all the character braveness, he did not expect to get a colorful description of his love pregnancy in retreat. Curry told in detail how prominent politician "walked around the apartment in blue family shorts" and "forced to jointly take the bath."
The current French president of Francois Hollande, chosen by the people instead of the "libertine" Nicolas Sarkozy, also turned out to be Donzhuan. After a year and a half after the appointment, the head of state became a defendant story about the classical love triangle. His girlfriend Valerie Trierwaleeler learned from the media: the wrong husband having fun with the actress Juli Guy. For some time, women waged war behind the heart of the first man of France. As a result, youth won: Madame Trierwaleeiler left the Elysees Palace, and Juli Guye to this day enjoys all the privileges of the first lady, not even the officially recognized Civilian wife of the president. It's amazing how boldly Ollande comes, given the experience of its predecessor.
Politicians are the same men, and sometimes not able to resist the temptation. Alas, not everyone managed to follow the advice of wise Peter the first: "Forget the service for the sake of a woman is unforgivable. Being a prisoner of his mistress worse than the captive in the war; The enemy may rather be freedom, and the woman has long-term shackles. "
