Irina Mikhailovna Virganskaya (Mikhail Gorbachev Daughter) Career
Irina Virganskaya, the only child of Mikhail Gorbachev, took on the responsibility of carrying on the Gorbachev family legacy when she married Andrei Virganskaya.
According to the Daily Mail, the heir apparent is the mother of two daughters named Anastasia and Ksenia, whom she had with a previous husband before divorcing him.
Information provided by the German National Library, Virganskaya attended medical school in order to become a physician.
In the context of the family enterprise, Virganskaya holds the position of Vice President of the Gorbachev Foundation, a charitable organization that provides financial support to a variety of businesses.
It is abundantly clear from Virganskaya’s writings that she holds a profound respect for the path her father took throughout his life and career. Virganskaya acknowledged that her father had a similar way of thinking, despite the fact that some people might disagree with Gorbachev’s political views.
In 2011, for Gorbachev’s 80th birthday, she wrote a retrospective in which she reflected on his life and said,
“You had the courage not just to stay in the country where, in effect, they had ousted you.” “[You] had the guts to keep doing a lot of things for the betterment of the country and of people in general despite a lot of opposition. You have a much higher human dimension than those who try to blame you or judge you, and as a result, you are much stronger and wiser than they are.”
Throughout the years, Virganskaya has joined her father in public appearances and remains synonymous with the Gorbachev Foundation.
