'Dibrov Personally Handed Polina Over': Elena Tovstik Reveals Details of High-Profile Divorce
Just when we thought everyone had forgotten about Dibrov«s divorce, Ksenia Sobchak, as 2025 drew to a close, latched onto the most talkative figure in this fading celebrity rift. The blogger interviewed Elena Tovstik — the woman whose husband left her for Polina Dibrova. Far from being left with nothing, Elena decided to tell things she had never told anyone before.
«It»s Already Anti-Sex for Him«
Perhaps Elena initially had other prospects, but upon meeting Roman Tovstik, she realized her calling was to be a mother of many children. Over 19 years of marriage, she bore six children with the businessman. But the more often the pregnancy test showed two lines, the colder her husband became towards her.
«During pregnancy we don»t have sex because of Roman. Because he believes if you have a child, you«re a holy woman, you can»t be approached. Psychologically, it«s already anti-sex for him,» Elena revealed.
It was during this time, Elena believes, that Roman found himself another woman — Polina Dibrova.
«Maybe it was about desires I couldn»t fulfill. Maybe they went to swinger clubs because I didn«t bring all his fantasies to life. I refused many. Polina agreed,» Elena reflected. «When you already have children, you can»t step over your own feelings. I could say «no» to Roman.«
«I Want a Divorce»
By Elena«s estimate, Roman and Polina had been seeing each other for eight years before their affair became known. During that time, mutual acquaintances spotted the couple together more than once, but everyone kept silent as a fish, and the intrigue remained something of a secret.
Everything came to light on its own. One day Roman went with the children to a camp organized by Polina Dibrova, and when he returned, one of the sons stunned his mother by telling her that he had been sleeping alone in the room the whole time.
«Dad was in a separate [room]. He spent whole days with Polina,» Elena«s son told her.
Hearing such news, Elena subjected her husband to a harsh interrogation, and he had no choice but to confess to everything.
«I backed him into a corner, and he started pacing around the room. And in the end he answered: »I need to tell you something. Yes, I can«t lie to you. Since things have come to this, I want a divorce,»« Elena recounted.
This all happened just as the family was about to go on vacation to Italy. But the trip, initially conceived as romantic, turned into an ordeal. Roman had nothing left to hide, and, according to Elena, he openly communicated with his new chosen one, insisted that he and his wife sign a child support agreement for only two of the six children and divorce without fuss. Elena refused.
«He Personally Handed Polina Over to Roman»
In this whole story, Elena Tovstik remains the only person who has not been able to speak out. Everyone else either remains silent or has already said everything and closed the topic. Dmitry Dibrov appears at social events in the company of beautiful strangers, attends dinner parties with his ex-wife and children, Polina Dibrova throws parties where she cuddles with Roman Tovstik. Elena believes that all this is one big collusion, of which she became the victim.
«I came from poverty and made my husband myself. And Polina was with Dmitry Dibrov after several wives. She saw the beautiful life. Dibrov has no tragedy; I believe he personally handed Polina over to Roman,» the mother of many noted.
Elena has no doubts about the handover of Polina Dibrova from one hand to another. She recalled one conversation with her then-husband in which he allegedly stated that he would settle everything with Dibrov.
«I say: »How can you settle things and take a woman?« He says: »Well, I«ll settle it,»« Elena recounted one of the conversations with her husband.
Now Elena lives in a large house with the children, insists on an honest divorce and property division through the court. She is demanding 150 million rubles (about $1.6 million at current rates) in compensation and that she keep the house she shared with Roman, apartments in Dubai and Turkey, as well as property in Cyprus, which she believes rightfully belongs to her.
