Darya Shmanai's Social Life: Kirkorov's Children's Birthdays and Comedy Club
While working at the Belarusian embassy in Moscow, Darya Shmanai assisted Lukashenka during his visits to Russia. In her free time, she mingled with the Russian bohemia.

In 2022, Darya Shmanai — a former employee of Lukashenka's protocol service — went to Russia as an advisor-envoy to the Belarusian embassy in Moscow.
This year, the beauty became the head of a mysterious Belarusian organization. The "First Fund," established on the initiative of Alyaksandr Lukashenka, has a subsidiary organization in Russia called "Krynitsa" (Spring). It is this organization that Darya Shmanai has headed since May 8, 2026.
And in her free time, Shmanai leads a rather vibrant social life.
This year, Darya celebrated Maslenitsa at the Moscow restaurant Savoy at the brunch of Viktoria Shelyagova, the wife of Russia's "king of funerals" (her husband Oleg has a business in funeral services).
Viktoria herself is known for her active social life, as well as her desire to revive Russian traditions.
At her Maslenitsa event, showman Dmitry Malakhov and Darya Shmanai were captured in the same shot as the hostess.
Last December, Darya spent time at an elite social event — the pre-New Year's party of the Flawless jewelry brand at the Stella di Mosca hotel. The Belarusian woman mingled there in the company of TV presenters Andrey Malakhov and Yulia Baranovskaya, singer Zara, and other Russian bohemia.
To avoid looking like a grey mouse among the stars, Shmanai sported a Chanel handbag (a new one costs between 3000 and 4500 euros).

By the way, Darya loves jewelry brands. Last year, during a Comedy Club shoot, she wore a necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels — similar to the Vintage Alhambra 10 motifs in 18-carat yellow gold and black onyx (its price on the official website reaches up to 10 thousand euros).
In 2024, Shmanai flew to Sochi for the opening of the anniversary XX "New Wave" festival. She got a seat among the VIP guests — Oleg Gazmanov and his wife Marina sat right in front of Darya.

Before that, in 2023, Darya was spotted at an unusual fashion show — then Russian designer Anika Kerimova collaborated with Philipp Kirkorov's son. The singer-father gave Martin about $115,000 for his 11th birthday, so the schoolboy could release a luxury clothing collection.
Also at the show, guests saw a casual clothing collection inspired by drawings by Philipp's daughter, Alla-Victoria.

And in 2022, Philipp Kirkorov organized a lavish party for his daughter Alla-Victoria's eleventh birthday. The father ceremoniously presented the birthday girl with collector's Louis Vuitton earrings.
Of course, the party guests were also not ordinary people. That party looked more like a red carpet before "Song of the Year" than a schoolgirl's birthday.

For example, Yana Rudkovskaya, Valeria and Iosif Prigozhin, Yegor Krid — and many others visited. In one of the photos, you can also see Darya Shmanai, smiling happily next to Kirkorov (who, it seems, even slightly hugs her).
It is likely that Darya befriended the king of Russian pop long before her official move to Moscow. She can be seen in a photo from a 2021 party — when Kirkorov was preparing singer Natalia Gordienko, who was to represent Moldova in the competition, for "Eurovision."

In honor of the artist, Kirkorov organized a large-scale presentation of her song in Moscow — inviting all of high society. One shot shows Darya Shmanai, Philipp Kirkorov (who is hugging the girl by the waist), and Igor Krutoy taking a joint selfie.
