The award and her son's reaction

Journalist Ksenia Sobchak received the grand prix reports Gazeta.Ru.

What Sobchak said

“It's such an amazing feeling when you see that your child is proud of you. I didn't even think it would move me so much,” Sobchak admitted. According to her, she has always strived for her work to be useful, but previously the main confirmation of its significance was only the gratitude of viewers. “It turns out that a son who bursts into your workout and says: 'Mom, are you really that cool?!' is even more valuable,” she noted.

Family context

Platon is the son of Sobchak and actor Maxim Vitorgan; the couple divorced in the spring of 2019. According to the TV presenter, the separation went fairly gently for her son: the parents never manipulated the boy, and they managed to maintain good relations. The child bears the double surname Vitorgan-Sobchak. Her son not only said he was proud of his mother's award, but also promised to put the statuette in his room.
