Georgy Malenkov - Cohabitation

Cohabitation

In 1920, in Turkestan, Malenkov started living together with Valeria Golubtsova, daughter of Aleksei Golubtsov, former State Councellor of the Russian Empire in Nizhny Novgorod and dean of the Imperial Cadet School. Golubtsova and Malenkov never officially registered their union and remained unregistered partners for the rest of their lives; such status allowed them to receive twice as many perks from the Soviet system. Valeria Golubtsova joined the Soviet Communist party in 1920. Her personal views were described as antisemitism, by her co-workers. She had direct connection to Vladimir Lenin through her mother — one of "Nevzorov sisters" who were apprentices of Lenin and studied together with him for years, long before the Russian revolution of 1917. This connection helped both Golubtsova and Malenkov in their communist career. Later Golubtsova was the director of the Moscow Energy Institute, a center for nuclear power research in USSR.
