A mother, Natalia Sarycheva, spoke publicly about her daughter Alisa Kazmina and her former partner, Andrei Arshavin. She described Arshavin as not participating in his child Yesenia’s life, even though he provides financial support. According to Sarycheva, Arshavin has not visited Yesenia for four years. Alisa Kazmina’s mother added that it seems he feels no remorse for the situation.
The family details that Arshavin and Kazmina both have roots in St. Petersburg. The footballer married in that city, and on February 11, 2017, Kazmina gave birth to Yesenia. Later in 2017, Kazmina announced plans to divorce, citing infidelity as a factor. The couple officially separated on July 3, 2019.
In 2020, Kazmina faced serious health challenges when doctors diagnosed her with autoimmune necrosis, a condition that damages tissues and blood vessels. The illness left a noticeable impact on her appearance, including injuries to the nose. Throughout treatment, she has emphasized that her children remain a central motivation for her recovery and ongoing care.
Earlier statements from Kazmina indicated concern that a parent and child relationship could be strained to the point of institutional care, prompting discussions about the support and care arrangements for Yesenia and her siblings. These assertions have added to a broader conversation about parental responsibility, health crises, and the long-term emotional well-being of children involved in high-profile family disputes.

Public discussions around this family underscore the complexities families face when romantic relationships end, when one parent copes with a serious illness, and when kids navigate challenging transitions. Observers note that financial support, visitation rights, and emotional availability are all crucial elements in shaping a stable environment for Yesenia and her siblings. The situation illustrates how health, custody, and public perception can intertwine in ways that affect the daily lives of children and their parents. [citation: observer analysis, media coverage]
Both sides have highlighted the importance of focusing on the children’s needs, aiming to maintain continuity, safety, and emotional security despite the upheavals that have occurred. The case continues to draw attention to how families manage separation, illness, and parental involvement in the upbringing of young people, especially when one parent resides in a different city or country.
