Tatyana Arshavin, mother of former Russian national team forward Andrey Arshavin, pursued a civil suit against his ex-wife, Alisa Arshina, seeking approximately 2 million rubles. The case has unfolded in the St. Petersburg City Court, where an appeal led to the overturning of a prior district court ruling and the settlement of the claims, according to the St. Petersburg city court press coverage. The decision marks a notable development in a long-running dispute that has kept both parties in the spotlight. The court’s narration emphasizes that after the trial, the estranged wife continued to reside in her mother-in-law’s apartment, and despite a court decision, she did not vacate the private residence. Earlier this year, a Moscow court denied Arshina’s demand for 2 million rubles, and the appeal has subsequently been accepted for review.
The backstory stretches back to September 2016 when Arshavin, after several years together, wed journalist Alisa Kazmina. The couple welcomed a daughter, Alice, in 2017. Just months after the birth, Arshavin and Kazmina attempted reconciliation following news of their divorce. By 2019, Kazmina publicly announced that the marriage had ended due to what she described as Arshavin’s repeated betrayals, a turn that set the stage for ongoing legal and personal disputes.
In related legal coverage, a separate report indicated that former Khimki player Pavel Mamaev is subject to a court order related to child support, with a directive allowing him to contribute one-sixth of his income to his daughter’s care. This development underscores a broader pattern of post-retirement life for Russian footballers intersecting with family law and parental responsibilities.
