74 Years Old Rimma Zelenskaya Was Born into a Jewish Family

Rimma Zelenskaya was born on September 16, 1950, in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. Records have it that she was born to Olga Solomonovna and Vladimir Osipov.

Rimma was born into a Jewish family in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Her family lived in one of the oldest communities of Ukraine and are survivors of the Holocaust and mass execution during World War II. Rimma’s parents strictly adhered to Jewish traditional holidays and observed Shabbat on Saturdays.

A former engineer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mother got married to Oleksandr Zelensky who was a professor and the head of the Department of Cybernetics and Computing Hardware at Kryvyi Rih State University. The pair were rumored to have birthed other children. However, only Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy is known and he was born on January 25, 1978.

Like most Soviet Jews, Zelenskaya is highly educated. She studied engineering at a university in Kyrviv Rih, Ukraine. Engineering was one of the standard career paths for most Soviet Jews before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Zelenskaya worked for about 40 years as an engineer and engaged in engineering technology before she retired.

Rimma Zelenskaya is the mother of Ukraine’s president Volodimir Zelenskyy who assumed office on May 20, 2019. He became the 6th president of Ukraine after winning more than 73% of the votes against the 25% his opponent Petro Poroshenko pulled.

Rimma and her husband Oleksandr also voted for their son during the election in 2019. They reportedly said that their son was concerned about the welfare of Ukraine and Rimma was sure that he would effect a positive change in the country. Before her son became president, he was widely known as an actor and comedian who starred in the show, Servant of the People.

In 1995, he became the head of the Cybernatic and Computing Hardware Department at Kryvyi Rih State University.

Rimma Zelenskaya spent most of her life in her hometown in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. However, she moved to Mongolia, a landlocked country located between China and Russia to stay with her husband who was on mining science research alongside her son Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Mongolia’s continental climate was mostly cold and dry. Zelenskaya’s health was affected by climate change so she had to return to Ukraine after four years to manage her health.

Though Rimma only birthed a child, she currently has two grandchildren who she is very fond of. Her granddaughter named Oleksandra was born on July 15, 2004, while her grandson Kyrylo was born in January 2013. They were birthed by Olena Volodymyrivnna Zelenska, Ukraine’s first lady, and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The 74 years old is a retiree who spent most of her life working as an engineer. She gives her son all the support he needs to lead Ukraine as the country’s first Jewish president.
