Moreover, Maria writes poetry and songs, for example, singer Alexander Kogan.

But its main activity is not going to change. Zakharov – hereditary diplomat. Her father Vladimir Yu worked as a Secretary of the USSR Embassy in China, and later represented Russia in the Shanghai cooperation organization.
