At school, the girl studied poorly, but among her peers she earned great respect. She did not take offense. If necessary, she could hit back the boys too.

She tried to live with her mother, but at the age of 17 she fled to Moscow.

Later, she admits to reporters that she received all the important life lessons already outside her parental home:

“In my family, my boundaries were violated quite harshly. I left the family early, and my role models were completely different - what I learned from them shaped me. I was lucky: I met unusual and cool people. My case is not quite normal - although, of course, it is the parents who should give self-confidence, the feeling that you are a person, you have a foundation. Such children have a huge head start - they do not need to spend a huge amount of time and energy on reformatting and accepting themselves.

Carier start. Matilda fled to the capital with the dream of getting into VGIK at the directing department. Instead, she joined the team of Ivan Shapovalov, who produced the Tatu group.

These were flashes of magical communication, there were words that penetrated into me and sprouted into the distant future. I saw Monroe, Limonov, Volochkova. Natalia Vodianova came with her English husband - always cheerful, there was a very funny relationship between them.

In Shapovalov's studio, on the very first day, Matilda met the famous secular photographer Dmitry Mikheev, with whom she began a relationship. According to Mikheev, it was he who suggested changing the name Elena to Matilda. And then he got her a gossip reporter for a fashion magazine.

Matilda took up the restaurant business after moving to St. Petersburg. It happened after meeting Sergei Shnurov. At first she began to manage the Blue Pushkin bar, which belonged to the musician. And at the end of 2012, she opened her own restaurant "CoCoCo". At the end of 2016, he took the fourth place in the ranking of the best restaurants in the city.

“She went in, I was stunned. He asked: "Eh! What is your name?" She replied, "Matilda." I said: “*****”, recalls the first meeting with Matilda Shnurov.

On the same day, he invited her to walk around Moscow at night. The walk ended at one of the hotels. However, after Shnurov returned to St. Petersburg. A whole week no calls, no messages. Suddenly, one day, Matilda's phone came to life. “I am in Vnukovo. Take me away from here, ”Snurov said at the other end of the wire.

“I happily went there. Vnukovo, on January 2 or 3, an absolutely empty hall, the only working cafe with plastic tables and chairs, and Sergey is sitting in the very corner - with such a head, a bottle of champagne and a glass. And I realized: to me ..., something special began in my life. That blue champagne head is mine. In general, it was very romantic, ”Matilda later shared with reporters.

On July 31, 2010 they got married. Sergey was in a white shirt and with long, flowing hair. Matilda chose a rather discreet floor-length dress for the wedding. There were few guests.

So, for example, by the age of thirteen she got a tattoo on her stomach.

The ex-wife of Cord herself (there is a photo of the girl in the article) does not particularly like to talk about her family and childhood. Some of her acquaintances say that Matilda was kicked out of the house by her own mother, considering her behavior to be extremely bad. Therefore, she had to think quite early on how to learn to provide for herself.

Looking for happy life Elena Mozgovaya went first to the capital, and only then decided to conquer St. Petersburg. It was here that she met her husband, Sergei Shnur, opened a dance school and became interested in the restaurant business.

Personal life and acquaintance with Cord

There is little information about the personal life of Cord's ex-wife, as well as about her biography before marriage with a popular singer. There is information according to which Sergey and Elena signed in 2010. For the leader of the Leningrad group, this marriage was the third, but for Matilda, the official marriage was the first (before marriage, the lovers met for three years). Before meeting with Shnur, Elena was in a relationship with the leader of the 7B group, then with photographer Dmitry Mikheev, and a little later with artist Yevgeny Tsyganov.

The acquaintance of Matilda and Cord did not happen by chance. They were introduced by a mutual friend who now lives in the United States of America. The first meeting of young people took place at a concert of the legendary musical group "Leningrad".

As you know, its leader always dreamed of a girl who would be similar to the image of a girl from the famous painting by Vrubel "The Swan Princess". Even in her younger years, Sergei associated her with real female beauty and grace. And when the singer met Elena, she seemed to him the embodiment of the girl from the picture. He was extremely surprised by this similarity. Elena was able to charm the leader of the Leningrad group at first sight and from that time on she was his muse and faithful companion for more than 8 years.

Elena's achievements

Despite the fact that the girl came from the outback, she began to feel like a native of the city a long time ago. In addition, Mozgova managed to become an icon of style and the personification of the aristocratic spirit of the Northern capital in a fairly short time. Yes, with light hand Elena's "wild man" Cord slowly but surely turned into a real macho.

The main achievement of Matilda was the creation of the restaurant "CoCoCo", which immediately became a cult institution and a unique calling card St. Petersburg. The girl managed to conquer the capricious local public with a unique interior, as well as a cozy atmosphere and delicious Russian cuisine. The opening of the restaurant was the second “brainchild” of the ex-wife of the leader of the Leningrad group after the Isadora ballet school, in which Matilda herself regularly practices ballroom dancing.

Reasons for breaking the Cord with the last wife

However, not so long ago, namely on May 25 of this year, in the mass media there was information that Sergei decided to divorce his third wife, Elena Mozgova. What was the last straw, after which the couple decided to leave? This information is still kept secret. On the pages in their in social networks neither Cord nor Matilda are in a hurry to comment on the situation.

Position of Elena Mozgovaya

Matilda herself - Cord's ex-wife - decided to refrain from any comments. She said that she considered this news sad, but she would try to keep all thoughts to herself. The girl also said that she did not intend to talk about experienced happy and unhappy moments with Sergei.

As it turned out, Elena had a good influence on the leader of the Leningrad group. Her main contribution was that Sergei began to drink alcohol not in such huge quantities as before. Shnur himself admitted more than once in an interview that it was thanks to Elena Mozgova that his group became what it is now.

New family settled in the village of Livenka, where after a certain time, Elena's younger half-brother, Igor, was born.

Matilda Shnurova is happy to name the visitors of her establishment. Eminent persons come here - Avdotya Smirnova with Anatoly Chubais, Vera Polozkova, Polina Kitsenko, Nika Belotserkovskaya. Regarding Nicky, Matilda said that she was a devoted connoisseur of her culinary talent. Matilda took many recipes from Belonika.

Matilda Shnurova has formed a clear concept for the establishment: "KoKoKo" is focused on Russian cuisine, where all dishes are prepared from seasonal products grown in this area. In this restaurant, Shnurova was the first in the city to realize the fashionable trend of local cuisine, which restaurateurs of St. Petersburg have long been talking about. At the same time, the restaurant’s menu is distinguished by its particular sophistication and variety: in addition to the beloved potatoes with herring, here you can taste stroganina, crucian carp, quail, stewed rabbit, and even a farm burger with root chips.

The mother married a second time and with her new husband Vladimir Nagorny moved to the village of Livenka, where Lena had a brother Igor.


But the second marriage broke up as quickly as the first. Unsuccessful attempts to establish a personal life led a desperate woman to Hinduism. Children were of little interest to her, so they grew like roadside grass.


A tragic fate awaited the close relatives of the girl. Brother Igor died young in an accident, father Matilda died, his stepfather drowned. She has two half-sisters and a brother from her father's other marriage, but has little to no relationship with them.

Since childhood, Lena dreamed of escaping from the provinces to Big city. She studied poorly, but she did not let herself be offended, which earned her honor and respect in the ranks of her peers. After graduating from school, the 17-year-old girl went to Moscow to enter VGIK, actually running away from her parents.

Carier start

Having neither connections nor money, she turned to her fellow countryman, the soloist of the 7b group, Ivan Demyan, for help. He introduced Lena to the producer of the extremely popular Tatu group at that time, Ivan Shapovalov, who took her to his team.


She worked in the producer's studio, doing small assignments. Shapovalov often came to visit famous people- so Matilda met Natalya Vodianova and her husband, Anastasia Volochkova, Eduard Limonov.


Soon she had an affair with fashion photographer Dmitry Mikheev, whom Matilda met in the same studio. He got Elena a gossip reporter for a popular glossy magazine and advised her to change her name to a more sonorous and original one - Matilda. At first it was just a pseudonym, later she officially changed her name.

First, she “had nothing to do” entered the biochemistry department of the Institute of Technology, then she remembered her long-standing passion for dancing. This lesson fascinated her so much that Matilda decided to open her own ballet school "Isadora", inviting outstanding teachers there.


In parallel, she controlled how things were going in the Blue Pushkin bar, which belonged to her husband. Shnurov sorely lacked time for him, and soon Matilda became a full-fledged mistress there. She quickly figured out the intricacies of the restaurant business and soon organized her own institution - the CoCoCo restaurant.

Among the visitors of the institution you can always meet famous people.
