Ksenia Sobchak and her 9-year-old son explore China for his birthday
Ksenia Sobchak and her nine-year-old son Platon have left Russia for a trip to China. The journey marks Platon’s first visit to the country, fulfilling his long-held interest in Chinese culture. Sobchak documented their departure from the airport in a live broadcast for her followers.
The trip serves as a birthday present for Platon, who celebrated his ninth birthday on November 18. He has studied Chinese since the age of three and has eagerly awaited the chance to explore China firsthand.
The pair’s Shanghai adventure highlights Platon’s linguistic dedication and Sobchak’s hands-on approach to parenting. Their public exchanges—both supportive and teasing—reflect a modern mother-son relationship played out in the spotlight. The trip also underscores Platon’s academic and cultural curiosity beyond the classroom.
