I try not to get too involved in the political games of our country. I am my own president within my small country, which is called the Family. But in some aspects, politics becomes show business, and then I cannot pass such a topic past my blogging microscope. It is in this vein that one can justify my interest in Natalya Vladimirovna Poklonskaya and her personal life.
What does Wikipedia say about Natalia Poklonskaya?
I’ll start, perhaps, with Wikipedia - after all, it’s there that all the more or less objective information flows “through the world.” Here is Poklonskaya's Wikipedia page. So, according to the Free Encyclopedia, Natalya Vladimirovna was born on March 18, 1980 in the village of Mikhailovka (Ukraine, Lugansk region). Natalya moved to Crimea in 1990, along with close relatives.
- 2002 – graduated from the branch of the Kharkov University of Internal Affairs in Evpatoria.
- 2002-2006 – worked as an assistant in one of the regions of Crimea.
- 2006-2010 – worked as an assistant prosecutor of Yevpatoria.
- 2011 – acted as a state prosecutor in the case of ex-deputy of the Verkhnovna Rada of Ukraine Reuben Aronov.
- 2011-2012 – Head of the Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor’s Office of Simferopol.
Then there are several more prosecutorial posts that led Natalya to her main (to date) appointment - prosecutor of Crimea. I couldn’t find anything else interesting about her on Wikipedia, so I propose to move on to what made our “heroine” famous and, I would even say, popular. And this does not apply at all to political and prosecutorial matters. We are talking about the intimate archive of Natalia Poklonskaya.
The intimate life of Natalia Poklonskaya: photo in a swimsuit
No matter how much I want to please the male audience of my favorite site, it won’t work. Yes, men, there are no photos of naked Natalia Poklonskaya anywhere! The very “height of indecency” turned out to be quite harmless photo of Natalia Vladimirovna in a swimsuit :
With a stretch, you can add a photo of Poklonskaya in an evening dress to your intimate archive:
However, the attractiveness of this young woman is difficult to deny. And therefore, sooner or later, a relay race of dreamers had to begin on the Internet - after the photo of Poklonskaya in a swimsuit, everyone comes up with a “legend” for Natalya in their own way, trying to pass off wishful thinking.
Anime by Natalia Poklonskaya
Another event in Natalya’s life that made her famous was a press conference, which journalists did not fail to upload to YouTube. I won’t talk for long here - everything is already clear =)
The conference became a hit on social media, with resonance reaching as far as Japan. Local craftsmen quickly noticed the characteristic features of the prosecutor and began to draw about Natalya Poklonskaya. I offer several anime-style pictures depicting the Crimean prosecutor:
Having received a deputy mandate, Poklonskaya was appointed chairman of the Duma committee responsible for verifying the accuracy of information about the income and real estate of deputies. She also joined the commission on anti-corruption (deputy chairman) and analysis of budget expenditures for the defense and law enforcement sectors.
Childhood and family
Natalya Poklonskaya (maiden name Dubrovskaya) was born on March 18, 1980 in the village of Mikhailovka, Voroshilovgrad (Lugansk) region in an ordinary family. Both her grandfathers died on the Great Patriotic War, one of the grandmothers survived the Nazi occupation, and the parents, who honored the memory of their heroic ancestors, raised their daughter in the spirit of patriotism. 
In 1990, the family moved to Crimea, settling in the village of Uyutnoye, Saki district. Here Natalya graduated from high school. as well as children's music school in piano class.
After school, Natalya decided that she wanted to serve in law enforcement and entered the Evpatoria branch of the Kharkov University of Internal Affairs, which she successfully graduated from in 2002.
Carier start
Natalya Poklonskaya’s career began as an assistant prosecutor in the Krasnogvardeisky district of Crimea (until 2006), then she was promoted to assistant prosecutor in Yevpatoria (until 2010). For the next year and a half, Natalya replaced the head of the department for monitoring compliance with laws by institutions fighting organized crime groups in the Crimean prosecutor's office. 
The first high-profile case of Natalia Poklonskaya is connected with the organized gang “Bashmaki”, which was involved in racketeering. In 2011, Poklonskaya acted as a state prosecutor in the trial against ex-deputy of the Crimean Rada Reuben Aronov, one of the leaders of this organized crime group. In December of the same year, the prosecutor was attacked and severely beaten, injuring his face. There is an opinion that her manner of speaking “through her teeth” is the consequences of a beating. Despite the pressure on the prosecutor, the case was brought to an end.
It was this case that helped me become a prosecutor and gain experience. Imagine - 20 people, all seasoned criminals. There must be willpower to resist such opponents.
In 2011, Natalya was appointed prosecutor of Simferopol for environmental issues. In 2012, she moved to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, becoming a senior prosecutor in the pre-trial investigation department in the Main Directorate for Supervision of Compliance with Laws in Criminal Proceedings.Prosecutor of Crimea
The revolution and civil war in Ukraine, the resignation of Viktor Yanukovych and the rise to power of Petro Poroshenko did not leave Natalia Poklonskaya indifferent. In February 2014, she wrote a letter of resignation. She stated as a reason that she did not want to serve a country ruled by “nationalist bandits.” The manager did not sign Poklonskaya’s application, offering her paid leave.Natalya went to visit her parents in Crimea, where during this period preparations were underway for a referendum on the status of the peninsula. At the end of February, armed special forces, acting on the orders of Vladimir Putin, occupied the authorities of Crimea, after which the parliament was dissolved, and the head of the Russian Unity party, Sergei Aksenov, was recognized as the leader of the new government, who immediately declared non-recognition of the new government in Ukraine. On March 4, Crimean prosecutor Vyacheslav Pavlov submitted his resignation at his own request. The next four candidates for this position refused the offer, and on March 11, Natalya Poklonskaya was elected prosecutor of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
On the day of her appointment, Natalya Poklonskaya gave a press conference, where she expressed her position and spoke harshly about the new Ukrainian government. This recording was later published on the Internet and made the prosecutor popular.
Press conference of Natalia Poklonskaya
Natalya Poklonskaya achieved world fame in 5 minutes 43 seconds - that’s how long this press conference lasted. Crimean journalists posted a video on YouTube, where a Japanese citizen accidentally saw it. He immediately noticed Poklonskaya’s “rich anime potential” and wrote on Twitter: “New prosecutor of Crimea! Oh, oh, oh!” Within a few hours, this post was read by tens of thousands of users, and the number of views of Natalia Poklonskaya’s press conference went off scale. Japanese anime fans have drawn hundreds of pictures featuring the “sexy prosecutor.”
The story continued. In one of Natalya’s first interviews in the status of the prosecutor of Crimea, the correspondent asked if she knew about such an increased interest in her personality on the Internet, to which Natalya replied: “Here I am the prosecutor, and no nyash, blah, and the like... I won’t allow " The phrase went to the people. Russian Internet users began calling the prosecutor "Nyasha", "Nyasha-Natasha" and "Prosecutor-chan".
No nyash-myash
Odessa musician Slava Blagov wrote the song “Oh, what a Nyasha, prosecutor Natasha,” and blogger Enjoykin made a mix “Nyash Myash.”

The case against Poklonskaya
Formally, Natalya Poklonskaya was not fired from the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, although she made her position very clear to the former leadership. After Poklonskaya was appointed head of the Crimean prosecutor's office in Ukraine, a criminal case was opened against her, accusing her of facilitating the illegal seizure of power. The prosecutor herself called the events on Maidan an “anti-constitutional seizure of power,” and the new president and his associates “devils from the ashes.”After the referendum on the status of Crimea (March 16, 2014) and the inclusion of the prosecutor's office of Crimea and Simferopol in Russian system Ukrainian law enforcement agencies put Natalya Poklonskaya on the wanted list for actions leading to a violent change of power.
After she assumed the post of Chief Prosecutor of Crimea, members of the people’s militia prevented another assassination attempt: a bag with a homemade bomb with a damage radius of 350 meters was discovered under the windows of Poklonskaya’s office. In the spring of 2016, by decree of Petro Poroshenko, she was included in the sanctions list for her involvement in the sentencing of Savchenko and Sentsov.
In the summer of the same year, investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine Andrey Atamanchuk reported that the pre-trial investigation, in which Poklonskaya was charged under four articles (violent overthrow of the constitutional order, unconstitutional change of the borders of Ukraine, high treason, participation in a criminal organization) was almost completed. State Duma Deputy In the elections to the State Duma of the VII convocation on September 18, 2016, Natalya Poklonskaya received a deputy mandate, and therefore left her prosecutorial position. The woman headed the committee to control the income of State Duma deputies. After her appointment, Poklonskaya moved to Moscow.
Poklonskaya and Nicholas II
The prosecutor is interested in history and sympathizes with Nicholas II - his portrait hangs in her office. In 2015, she made a sensational statement that the abdication of Nicholas II was deprived of legal force. Alas, the opinion is increasingly heard that Natalya’s sympathy for the last Russian emperor goes beyond the scope of adequate behavior. 
In 2015, she ordered for the Livadia Palace Museum (former residence Russian emperors) a series of portraits of Nikolai Alexandrovich and his family.
At the annual “Immortal Regiment” event, which is held every May 9 as a tribute to the memory of soldiers who died during the Second World War, Poklonskaya brought an icon of Nicholas II instead of a portrait of a relative. The prosecutor’s action was ridiculed online: “My grandfather fought, but Poklonskaya has a tsar!”
In March 2017, Poklonskaya reported on her Twitter that the bust of Nicholas II, installed in Simferopol next to the prosecutor’s office building, had become myrrh-streamed. Journalists immediately came to the site and quickly found out that the miracle had not happened - the monument turned out to be completely dry.
Poklonskaya is often accused of the fact that her views largely coincide with the views of members of the sect of Tsarebozhniks. According to their beliefs, the death of Nicholas II became a sacred symbol of atonement for the sin of infidelity of the Russian people, requiring universal repentance. If the official position of the Russian Orthodox Church does not deny that Nicholas, who was canonized after his death, was not a righteous man, then Poklonskaya and her like-minded people are offended by any mention of the royal sins, including the deprivation of virginity before marriage - this is what Poklonskaya’s much-unloved film “Matilda” is about. .
Fight with Matilda
The film directed by Alexei Uchitel “Matilda” came under Poklonskaya’s sights in October 2016. A historical film dedicated to the romance between Nicholas II and the ballerina of the Mariinsky Theater Matilda Kshesinskaya, which took place even before the wedding of the Tsarevich with Princess Alexandra Feodorovna, affected a woman with monarchical views like a red rag on a bull. 
First, the deputy sent a request to the Prosecutor General’s Office demanding that the “Matilda” trailer be checked for distortion historical events for the purpose of “anti-Russian and anti-religious provocation.” The prosecutor's office, as expected, did not find any violations in the film, after which Natalya Poklonskaya filed a second application. This time, it was addressed not only to the Prosecutor General’s Office, but also to the Ministry of Culture, and not only the trailer, but also the script and sources of financing were subject to verification. At the same time, the deputy stated that the Teacher intended to mock the passion-bearing king and his family. The Teacher's answer was not long in coming. He himself turned to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to protect him from Poklonskaya’s “fabrications”, which were whipping up hysteria around his new film.
Without waiting for action from the authorities, Poklonskaya ordered an examination of “Matilda” at her own expense. The expert opinion she cited said that the filmmakers were deliberately “making a fool out of the emperor.” The examination found the film to be offensive to the feelings of believers, and Matilda was compared to a rat.
Protruding crooked teeth, an elongated face shape that makes her look like a mouse or a rat, an awkward figure...
The performer of the role of the emperor, the German Lars Eidinger, also got it. He was accused of not looking like Nicholas II, as well as of filming in a “pornographic anti-Christian film in a vulgar pornographic role” (referring to Peter Greenouy’s erotic biopic “Goltzius and the Pelican Company”).However, the Ministry of Culture said that they would not take Poklonskaya’s examination into account, citing the fact that the official check did not find anything in the film that would offend the feelings of believers, and the film itself had not yet been released. The teacher invited Poklonskaya to a private screening of “Matilda,” to which the deputy refused.
I haven’t watched it, but I don’t need to watch it, I won’t watch it
Poklonskaya continued her campaign against Matilda, covering the situation in in social networks.In the summer of 2017, the publication Znak published material stating that on the party sidelines Poklonskaya was asked to moderate her ardor in the fight against Matilda. Coincidentally, after publication, the author of the article, Ekaterina Vinokurova, began receiving threats.
Poklonskaya got into a spat with Roizman, saying that it was unacceptable for a leader of his level to “send greetings on social networks.” The deputy accused him of deliberately provoking Orthodox people.
After these events, Alexey Uchitel accused Poklonskaya of supporting terrorist organizations operating under the guise of religion.
Personal life of Natalia Poklonskaya
Little is known about the personal life of Natalia Poklonskaya. She is divorced and was allegedly married to the vice-mayor of Mariupol Vladimir Stepanovich Klimenko, with whom she gave birth to a daughter, Anastasia. The girl bears her mother's last name. 
In his free time from work, the prosecutor finds a place for creativity. Natalya enjoys drawing and playing the piano, and loves sports. In November 2014, Poklonskaya took part in the Prosecutor's Sports Competition in Sochi and was able to fulfill the GTO standard.
In August 2018, Natalya married a lawyer and public figure Ivan Solovyov. Under the influence of her husband, Poklonskaya broke with the Tsarebozhnik sect and “lost interest” in Nicholas II.
Alas, family happiness did not last long. Just a year later, Ivan announced that he had broken up with Natalya, since it was difficult for the two leaders to get along under the same roof.

Career of Natalia Poklonskaya
In 2002, Natalya Poklonskaya began working in the Simferopol environmental prosecutor's office. In the case of the Bashmaki gang, Poklonskaya acted as a state prosecutor. The criminal group was headed by a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea. Natalya was under pressure from all sides, but she still managed to complete the job. The news reported that as a result of the investigation into the “Bashmakov” case, Natalya Poklonskaya survived the attack; Poklonskaya’s biography on Wikipedia says that after the beating in the entrance of her house, the prosecutor was left with part of her face paralyzed.
In 2011, Poklonskaya was appointed environmental prosecutor of Simferopol, and already in 2012, Natalya Vladimirovna began working at the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine. After the coup and change of power in Ukraine, Natalya Vladimirovna Poklonskaya submitted her resignation on February 25, 2014. Then Poklonskaya went to visit her parents in Crimea. There, Natalya Poklonskaya offered her assistance to the government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - she wanted to make every effort to prevent a repetition of the Kyiv events.
Natalya Poklonskaya’s first case as a prosecutor was an investigation into the infliction of grievous bodily harm on employees of the Crimean special police unit “Berkut”.
March 25, 2014 in connection with the formation of the prosecutor's offices of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol in the system of the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation by order of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika Poklonskaya was appointed acting prosecutor of the Republic of Crimea.

The case against Poklonskaya in Ukraine
After Natalya Poklonskaya was appointed to the Crimean prosecutor’s office, she was fired from her previous job and a criminal case was opened. After the referendum, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies put Natalia Poklonskaya on the wanted list for actions leading to a violent change of power. Poklonskaya is charged under four articles: “Violent overthrow of the constitutional order”, “Changing the territorial structure and borders of Ukraine contrary to the order established by the Constitution of Ukraine”, “High treason” and “Participation in a criminal organization”. In the summer of 2017, the news reported that an investigator from the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine Andrey Atamanchuk promised to soon bring to court a case in which former Crimean prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya is a suspect.
In response to these threats from the “democratic” rulers of Ukraine, Natalya Poklonskaya stated: “They no longer know what to say and how else to show their protest, which is senseless, completely unfounded, unreasoned, legally illiterate. In this way they show their stupidity. This is their problem, they don’t recognize it, let them continue to worry, and we will continue to work to defend our homeland,” Poklonskaya said on air on one of the Crimean TV channels.

Regarding the fact that she could be deprived of the post of chairman of the commission, Natalya Poklonskaya explained that this issue is being decided at a plenary meeting of the State Duma, by general voting, but no one has yet told her that such an issue is on the agenda, but only hinted that it would be good “ restrain your ardor."
Natalya Poklonskaya responded to criticism from party colleagues Oksana Pushkina and Irina Rodnina, who did not like her position on pension reform.
“Let everyone do their own thing, in accordance with their upbringing, personal qualities and conscience. Don’t waste your precious time in vain anymore, giving me assessments and advice, don’t think for me and don’t attribute to me something that is not there. Trying to shame is not your element,” the news quoted Natalya Poklonskaya as saying.
Poklonskaya noted that her activities have already earned the death sentence of the Right Sector *, and in Kyiv she faces life imprisonment.
“Probably, intimate conversations on TV and ice dancing do not lead to such consequences,” Poklonskaya said.
Personal life of Natalia Poklonskaya, views and popularity
In 2017, quite surprising news appeared that Natalya Poklonskaya was not married. As it turned out, Poklonskaya misled the public for a long time, saying that she had a husband. According to her, she had to introduce herself as married so as not to attract undue attention from fans.
“Therefore, in order not to traumatize people and immediately completely kill all desire, I said that I was married, I have a wonderful family. Maybe I wasn’t quite right then,” she repented.
Earlier, Poklonskaya earned 2.6 million rubles in a year, but forgot to include her husband in the declaration. Now it became clear why this happened. According to unofficial data, Poklonskaya’s husband was the deputy mayor of Mariupol Vladimir Klimenko.
In August 2018, changes occurred in Poklonskaya’s personal life. The news reported about the wedding of Natalia Poklonskaya.
Poklonskaya married the head of the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights, Ivan Solovyov, as the media learned. This happened on August 11-12 and, according to the source, the wedding was very modest.
The ceremony was attended by Poklonskaya’s colleagues from the lower house of parliament and from law enforcement agencies.
Poklonskaya herself neither confirmed nor denied the news about the changes in her personal life.
“I’m not ready to comment on my personal life yet,” she said.
Poklonskaya’s new husband, Ivan Solovyov, is 47 years old. Until 2011, he was a senior investigator for particularly important cases of the Investigative Unit of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Federal Tax Service.
At the end of the summer of 2019, Poklonskaya stated that radical changes had taken place in her personal life, “which no one knows about” and which she intends to keep secret for now.
“I do not consider it necessary to report publicly about my spiritual life. It will be closed to the press, like the personal one, in which radical changes have also taken place, which no one even knows about... It will be a secret until the moment the declaration is presented. After which I also don’t intend to comment on anything,” the news quoted Poklonskaya as saying.
Literally a few days later, the husband of State Duma deputy Natalia Poklonskaya, Ivan Solovyov, announced that their married couple fell apart. He was forced to talk about this with journalists by Poklonskaya’s statement about radical secret changes in her life.
According to him, it is very difficult for two leaders to get along within the same family. “Two leaders in one family are an explosive mixture that could hardly ever settle down. One is beautiful, the other is very beautiful. One is smart, the other is very smart. One is goal-oriented, the other is very goal-oriented. Of course, the most superlative degree here refers to the lady,” Soloviev commented on the news of his personal life.
He expressed regret that now the forefront is both in politics and in family life What emerges is pragmatism, careerism and a willingness to betray everything, including oneself.
“She made her choice. How it was done is a matter of her own, as well as her conscience and upbringing. This is not a minus in my karma and not my hype,” RIA Novosti quoted Solovyov as saying.
“I am convinced that changes in my personal life will not in any way affect the well-being of other people and the country as a whole. Therefore, I will not comment on this news, giving this opportunity ex-husband", Poklonskaya wrote in her Telegram channel.
Deputy Natalia Poklonskaya has a daughter. Poklonskaya raises her in the spirit of respect for the memory of those who died in the Great Patriotic War, including two grandfathers who died in this war. In 2015, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Victory, the prosecutor of Crimea, dressed in a wartime tunic, read an excerpt from Robert Rozhdestvensky’s poem “Requiem.” In 2016, Natalya Poklonskaya, on the occasion of the anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, starred in the video for the song “From the Heroes of Bygone Times” from the film “Officers.” It took about two months to rehearse and shoot the video.

In October 2014, Natalya Poklonskaya gave the Livadia Palace more than 80 photos from the family archive of Emperor Nicholas II, which she received from the priest of the Holy Dormition Cave Monastery in Crimea. And in May 2015, Poklonskaya took part in the opening of a bust of the emperor in the Livadia Palace. Deputy Poklonskaya is interested in history and sympathizes with Nicholas II - his portrait hung in her office back in the Simferopol prosecutor's office. In 2015, Natalya Vladimirovna made a sensational statement that the abdication of Nicholas II was deprived of legal force.
On May 9, 2016, Natalya Poklonskaya went to the “Immortal Regiment” rally with an icon of Nicholas II, explaining that she was fulfilling a veteran’s request to her earlier.

In the fall of 2016, Natalya Poklonskaya said that in the chapel in honor of the holy royal passion-bearers of Emperor Nicholas II and his family, erected near the walls of the Crimean prosecutor's office in Simferopol, the first miracle occurred, “during the reading of the akathist, droplets of myrrh appeared on the icon of Emperor Nicholas II, which helped in healing - miraculously the child’s temperature dropped, and after a debilitating illness, recovery began.” The news with this statement by Poklonskaya caused considerable public outcry.
Natalya Poklonskaya gained great popularity in many countries, especially in Japan (a video from a press conference with Poklonskaya’s participation received more than two million views on Youtube, her photos were published in news all over the world). Former Prime Minister of Japan, head of the Japan-Russia Friendship Society, Yukio Hatoyama, said that he was a big fan of her beauty. Amateur drawings of Natalya Poklonskaya in the “moe” style (a certain type of cuteness, as heroines are drawn in Japanese anime and manga) appeared on the Internet, and a cartoon was shot in the anime style.

Although the peak of the Crimean beauty’s popularity occurred in the spring of 2014, her photos continue to arouse the interest of the Internet audience.
They write songs about Poklonskaya and release them computer games. Odessa musician Slava Blagov dedicated the song “Oh, what a sweetheart, prosecutor Natasha!” to her, which received more than 100 thousand views on YouTube in a day.
* In November 2014, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized this organization as extremist, and its activities in Russia are prohibited.
Newly elected State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya, also known as the “cute prosecutor of Crimea,” has been on the front pages of online media in recent weeks. The increased attention of journalists to her person, as well as the obvious lack of image makers and PR consultants, played a cruel joke on the lady. As soon as she took on her new duties, she managed to provoke three scandals at once.
Deputy Poklonskaya, after an appeal from some social activists, sent a request to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to check even the unreleased film by Alexei Uchitel “Matilda”.
First, deputy Poklonskaya, after an appeal from some social activists, sent a request to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to check even the unreleased film by Alexei Uchitel “Matilda”. Let us remind you: the completely unedited film tells about the romantic relationship between the heir to the royal throne, Nikolai Alexandrovich, and the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya.
This film defiles the feelings of the Orthodox. It contains false information about our sovereign, who was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church and is our saint, martyr. Therefore, people turned to me so that an appropriate check would be carried out,” Poklonskaya explained.
The newly appointed deputy, without knowing it, found herself at the forefront of public discussion. The liberal public, including many well-known politicians, officials and directors, saw obscurantist patriots from the organizations “Royal Cross”, “Parental Resistance” and “Civil Counteraction to Extremism” behind Poklonskaya’s back. As a result, she came under a hail of criticism from liberals, who reacted sharply to yet another attempt by jingoistic patriots to influence the cultural process in the country.
Deputy of the Oryol Regional Council Ruslan Perelygin even sent a statement to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to “check Poklonskaya’s statement for extremism.”
Even patriotic statesmen expressed their dissatisfaction with Poklonskaya’s actions. The head of the Duma Committee on Culture, director Stanislav Govorukhin, said: “The attempt to check “Matilda” needs to be nipped in the bud.” And the head of the Ministry of Culture Medinsky logically remarked: “It’s stupid to check a film that hasn’t even been released yet.”
The next scandal turned out to be even more delicate - and again, as luck would have it, it hit a painful point in public discussion. Commenting on her statement about “Matilda” and Nicholas II, Poklonskaya published a post on the Internet containing the phrase: “Paradoxically, the monsters of the twentieth century (Lenin, Trotsky, Hitler, Mao Zedong), who shed a sea of human blood, for some reason do not cause such rejection from society, like a kind and merciful Emperor killed with his family.”
This patriotic post caused a storm of anger on social networks. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov immediately called the comparison of Hitler with Lenin “one hundred percent provocation” on the eve of National Unity Day. And Oryol Regional Council deputy Ruslan Perelygin even sent a statement to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to “check Poklonskaya’s statement for extremism.” Like, you can’t put “the ideologist of the Holocaust” and the “leader of the world proletariat” on the same level...
Before the loud scandal with Hitler and Lenin had time to subside, a new “hit” immediately followed from the “cute” deputy: in a recent interview with Poklonskaya for Vesti FM radio on October 18. In it Poklonskaya, speaking about new job, said: “You see, as Alexander Suvorov said, “I want to serve, but it’s sickening to serve.” When the radio presenter reminded her that this was a quote from Chatsky from Griboedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit,” Poklonskaya sincerely said: “So they both said so.” The video of this interview received half a million views and more than 700 comments on the Internet in the first two days.
Line of defense
Poklonskaya’s third media failure in a row was very difficult to hush up. And then authoritative figures were forced to come to her defense.
The Russian public was very amused and touched by Poklonskaya’s position - until she became a State Duma deputy, said political scientist Pavel Danilin (federalpress.ru). - In the Russian tradition, the “blessed” have the right to any statements. True, until they start committing violence. And they do not force society to accept their views on the surrounding reality. So any statements by Poklonskaya “for life” and “for life” are quite forgivable. But her actions are absolutely unforgivable - such as appeals to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee.
Her mistakes are clear evidence that higher education And most she received average in Ukraine,” said political scientist Sergei Markov (politicus.ru).
Her mistakes are clear evidence that she received her higher education and most of her secondary education in Ukraine,” said political scientist Sergei Markov (politicus.ru). - There, within the framework of distancing from Russia, education has reached such a level that even semi-literate specialists graduate from universities. So, all claims against Poklonskaya based on quotes are against the Ukrainian ministers of education,” the expert concluded.
And the head of the Political expert group Konstantin Kalachev completely admired Poklonskaya’s secret erudition.
The great Griboedov did not pull out his idea about “the desire to serve and the reluctance to be served.” As is known, in Persian campaign Griboyedov became closely acquainted with Suvorov's closest descendant. From him he heard about his grandfather’s attitude to the service. One question remains - how did Poklonskaya find out about this? In general, you should not be ironic. Yes, there are serious gaps in the education of many members of our political elite. But in this case, on the contrary, we see the depth of knowledge, familiarity with the memories of contemporaries about Griboyedov, as well as sincere interest in the personality and heritage of Suvorov, concluded Kalachev (club-rf.ru).
The director of the St. Petersburg Suvorov Museum, Alexander Lukirsky, invited Poklonskaya on a tour, and the artistic director of one of the Moscow theaters invited her to a free viewing of the play “Woe from Wit.”
Continuing the trend of “mitigating” the scandal, the director of the St. Petersburg Suvorov Museum, Alexander Lukirsky, invited Poklonskaya on a tour, and the artistic director of one of the Moscow theaters invited her to a free viewing of the play “Woe from Wit.” In fact, it’s really stupid for a female prosecutor to blame her level of knowledge. During the difficult 2000s in Ukraine, a secondary school in Crimea, apparently, hardly provided a decent education. And in the Crimean branch of the Kharkov University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is also unlikely that literature and history were taught in depth.
However, Poklonskaya herself is unlikely to be enraged by massive Internet teasing. During an interview given to the federal media in the spring, the journalist directly told her: “The Moscow intelligentsia is laughing at you, at your sincerity.”
Sincerity is good. In my opinion, the Moscow intelligentsia lacks this quality. I would wish them to be sincere and honest. And laughter is also good, it prolongs life. “I hope that they extended their lives,” the prosecutor said then.
This is not the first time that Poklonskaya herself has come under fire for careless statements. While still a prosecutor of Crimea, she blue eye said: “The Romanovs’ abdication of the throne has no legal force.” Then this also turned into a media scandal for her, but on a completely local, Crimean scale.
In the footsteps of Milonov and Psaki
At times, the boldness of Natalia Poklonskaya’s statements is somewhat reminiscent of the comments of two characters at once: her State Duma colleague Vitaly Milonov, as well as former US State Department Speaker Jen Psaki.
Milonov, being a member of the United Russia faction in the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, became famous for a huge number of harsh statements and actions. His stock phrase became: “Behave yourself decently! You’re not in a gay club!” Speaking about the “anti-gay” law, he worriedly reported: “The homodrills have gone on a rampage - apparently, they are smelling the aspen: tomorrow we will pass a law against homosyatin propaganda!” The liberals also got it from him: “Liberal mold is good in small quantities, like in cheese. But when there is too much of it, it doesn’t take long for it to rot.” Milonov also did not have warm feelings for the nationalists, reporting: “The participants in the “Russian March” are microbes who have read science fiction writers and multiply on a rotten banana.” At the same time, Milonov made all his statements deliberately shocking the media.
But Jen Psaki, as Speaker of the State Department, quite sincerely pleased the media with her deep knowledge of geography and geopolitics. It is she who owns the phrase: “If Belarus invades Ukraine, we will immediately transfer the US 6th Fleet to the shores of Belarus.” She, defending Kyiv’s actions, said: “We want Ukraine to have access to additional volumes of gas. As you know, natural gas flows through gas pipelines from Western Europe through Ukraine to Russia.” After Psaki went on maternity leave, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin sadly said: “It’s a shame - I’ve always been interested in listening to her.”
Listening to Natalia Poklonskaya is also very interesting, but with each new jamb, her reactions to the world around her cause more and more negativity in the media and social networks. In front of the eyes of astonished Russians, the strict “prosecutorial Cinderella” from Crimea is quickly turning into a not very competent Duma person who cares about literally everything.
The role of Poklonskaya, like deputies like Milonov and Pyotr Tolstoy, is to create a “virtual agenda”, diverting the attention of Russians from the real problems of the country.
Perhaps the best thing Poklonskaya’s assistants can do in this situation is to urgently find her an experienced image maker and speechwriter. In addition, to completely limit “access to the body” for the media, and ideally, to give her an urgent crash course in Russian high school. Being a naive and sincere patriot-monarchist, Natalya looked quite appropriate in the chair of the Crimean prosecutor, where she had to answer mainly professional questions. But a deputy position is a completely different level of representation and, as a consequence, a different level of publicity.
According to experts, the situation with Poklonskaya revealed another goal of the authorities set during the formation of the State Duma of the new convocation.
The role of Poklonskaya, like deputies like Milonov and Pyotr Tolstoy, is to create a “virtual agenda”, diverting the attention of Russians from the real problems of the country. And at the same time, promote simplified jingoism for the average person, says Nikolai Mironov, an expert at the Center for Economic and Political Reforms (noteru.com). - Previously, Poklonskaya coped well with this, using her charm. But now she seems to have overdone it and exposed herself to attack, showing herself to be very vulnerable. Most likely, she simply didn’t get her bearings, didn’t feel what was worth saying and what wasn’t, and where the reasonable limit of patriotic intensity was, the analyst concludes.
In a word, the symbol of the “Crimean spring” must be urgently saved. First of all, from those very Moscow intellectuals who, according to Poklonskaya, “lack sincerity.” Alas, sincerity in our politics today is really not in fashion.
