Dmitriy Peskov

Dmitry Sergeevich Peskov is a Russian diplomat who holds the position of the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Peskov began political activity since the days of the USSR.

Some people close to Peskov are sure that his father, who was also involved in the diplomatic service in the Middle East, influenced Dmitry Sergeevich's career choice.

The biography of Dmitry Peskov originates in the Russian capital - the future statesman was born on October 17, 1967 in Moscow in the family of the Russian diplomat Sergei Peskov, who later was a diplomatic officer of Russia for a long time.

After school, some people who enter Peskov's circle believe, the biography of Dmitry Peskov was determined by his parents. His father sent him to study at the Institute of Asian and African Countries (ISSA) at Moscow State University, where the future politician graduated in 1989, after which he was immediately employed in the system of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Whether the mother influenced the future press secretary is not known for certain, no exact facts about her personality or profession can be found either in the press or in official sources.

Some sources suggest that Peskov is so hiding information about his mother due to the fact that her name and appearance can shed light on his nationality. All sources say that the politician has Russian roots, but complete information about his parents can change this.

In the Soviet Foreign Ministry, Peskov did not work for long, already in 1990 his career turned into another plane: until 1994, he served as an assistant on duty, third secretary of the USSR embassy, ​​secretary of the Russian embassy in Turkey, and also an attaché. In 1994, Peskov began working at the Russian Foreign Ministry, this lasted until 1996, when a new round of his career began - Peskov "stepped" from the post of third to the post of second secretary of the Russian Embassy in Turkey.

When Vladimir Zhirinovsky achieved success in the elections in 1993, Dmitry Peskov joined the LDPR party. In 2013, Peskov was asked about the motivation that persuaded him to join the Liberal Democratic Party, but Dmitry Sergeevich honestly admitted: he liked this party from the moment it appeared, in particular due to the fact that Vladimir Zhirinovsky is also a Turkologist by education.

Dmitry Peskov's television debut took place back in 1999, when the man, during the 3 days of the first Russian President Boris Yeltsin's stay at the OSCE summit in Istanbul, appeared in television stories, since Yeltsin chose him as his translator from Turkish. The media know for certain that the current presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov speaks English, Arabic and Turkish, this knowledge also contributed to the promotion of the diplomat's political career ladder.

After Vladimir Putin won the presidential elections in 2012, becoming president of the Russian Federation for the third time, Dmitry Peskov was appointed deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation - on May 22, 2012, Putin appointed Peskov as his personal press secretary.

Dmitry Peskov, whose biography is full of a chronology of scandalous incidents on television and in the press, has repeatedly become a victim of the media - sometimes he was credited with statements that he did not voice. Sometimes scandals involving Peskov were confirmed - one of such cases was his statement about the "smeared liver".

Dmitry Peskov in mid-2012 told State Duma Deputy Ilya Ponomarev that law enforcement officials, as part of a special operation to prevent the opposition "March of Millions" in the vicinity of Bolotnaya Square (event dated May 6, 2012), needed to take more radical measures. Peskov then said that "the liver of the protesters had to be smeared on the asphalt for the wounded riot policeman."

This scandalous statement immediately became public - the Russian diplomat later admitted in an interview that he really spoke in a similar tone, but noted that "it is not like a man to publish words from a personal conversation." According to Peskov, he made a statement about the "smeared liver" to Ponomarev in a personal conversation - Putin's current press secretary did not expect the politician to publish this quote on Twitter.

In 2016, the politician continued to work actively. He officially confirmed that Russia has a peaceful position in relation to other countries, and covered the discussion of the "Kuril issue" between the governments of the Russian Federation and Japan. But the scandalous fame of the press secretary is so great that in the same year, in order for his photo to go viral on the Internet, it was enough for Dmitry Peskov to just put on red pants during off hours.

The politician's latest statements are also odious. During the scandal that erupted in early 2017 around the Kremlin's collection of compromising evidence on the new US President Donald Trump, Peskov commented on these accusations, calling them "complete nonsense."

The current spokesman for the Russian leader publicly stated that Putin often criticizes the quality of Peskov's performance of duties - according to him, the Russian leader is often dissatisfied with the way he works. Despite this, Dmitry Peskov also has awards: the Order of Honor and the Order of Friendship.

In addition to a high-profile career, Dmitry Peskov also has an outstanding appearance. Politics is not distinguished by either outstanding height (175 cm) or weight. But one detail caught the attention of millions. Dmitry Sergeevich is the owner of a branded mustache. Through the efforts of Internet comedians, the mustache started its own mini-blog on Twitter, and later a group on the popular VKontakte network.

Peskov's mustache quickly gained popularity and loyal subscribers and wittily comment on various news, both political and social and cultural. The attention to this part of the press secretary's appearance is so great that when Dmitry Peskov shaved his mustache in 2014, the country held its breath. As it turned out later, the politician decided on such an act because of a dispute with his daughter. She demanded that if she successfully passed the exam, her father would shave off his trademark mustache. And Peskov fulfilled his promise, although he soon restored his usual appearance.

The personal life of Dmitry Peskov in places, some media say, is even scandalous. Peskov's wives and family affairs give the press no less reason for discussion than his statements. In his youth, Peskov married the granddaughter of the Soviet commander Anastasia Budyonnaya, from this marriage the couple have a common son, Nikolai.

Dmitry Peskov's second marriage was concluded with the then 18-year-old Ekaterina Solotsinskaya. The difference in the age of the newlyweds was 9 years. The couple lived together until 2012, but they eventually divorced. Solotsinskaya told reporters that Dmitry Peskov allegedly cheated on her with figure skater Tatyana Navka, and she could not forgive her husband - Dmitry and Ekaterina Peskov divorced against the background of this betrayal.

According to media reports, now the ex-wife of Peskov, Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, lives in Paris, where she is engaged in charity work, she has her own apartment. This marriage gave Peskov and Solotsinskaya daughter Elizabeth, as well as sons Denis and Mika. The children of Dmitry Peskov and his second wife have dual citizenship, which was imputed to him as a government official close to the President of the Russian Federation. There were repeated calls to Peskov to return relatives to their homeland.

Wife Catherine was not the last in the list of companions of the press secretary. Tatiana Navka and Dmitry Peskov, according to media reports, met in 2012. They fell in love with each other, their daughter Nadia was born. On August 1, 2015, Peskov and Navka got married.

Many celebrities were noted at the event: Alika Smekhova, Valentin Yudashkin, Nikolai Baskov and other celebrities, politicians and pop figures. The solemn ceremony was held in Sochi. Peskov celebrated his wedding with Navka in one of the most expensive hotels in the city, the Rodina-Grand Hotel. The owner of the hotel, Oleg Deripaska, paid for the celebration. The celebration smoothly turned into the day of the Airborne Forces on the second day. Peskov and many star guests changed into vests and berets.

However, it was not at all the photos of stars in military uniform that attracted public attention to this wedding. The Russians looked with curiosity at the watch on the hand of the happy groom. Connoisseurs recognized in them the mechanism of an expensive brand Richard Mille, which, according to the most modest ideas, should cost several hundred thousand euros. The quality of the image did not allow determining the model, but it was clear that the watch cost the press secretary half, or even the entire official annual salary. This raised many questions about the politician's real wages and income.

Песков заявил, что эти часы – подарок жены, Навка купила их на свои деньги и гораздо дешевле указанных в Интернете сумм. Он отказался комментировать, откуда у его супруги такие деньги, но добавил, что, естественно, никогда бы не смог купить себе такой аксессуар самостоятельно. Татьяна Навка в интервью возмутилась самим фактом шумихи. Она напомнила прессе, что является Олимпийской чемпионкой и способна обеспечить себя и порадовать любимого человека.

Most of all, Navka was upset by the fact that the gifts of other athletes are not subject to such doubts, for example, as Tatyana recalled, no one fanned the scandal when the figure skater Evgeni Plushenko presented his wife with jewelry of no less value than Peskov's watch. It is known that in 2016 the press secretary registered an income of 12 million rubles, while Tatyana Navka earned 120 million rubles during this period. A year later, his income increased by 2 million rubles, and his wife's - by 80 million rubles.

The spokesman's honeymoon caused another scandal. According to some reports, the newly formed family was vacationing in Italy in the midst of anti-Russian sanctions, which angered many Russians. Other sources stated that Peskov and his wife spent this time on a personal yacht, sailing to Sardinia, but not leaving the European coast.

Dmitry Peskov's daughter Elizaveta attracts the attention of reporters no less than her father. The girl graduated from a boarding school in Paris, after which she continued to receive her education in France. During the summer holidays of 2017, she did an internship at the Avanti company as an advisor to the president.

Elizaveta maintains her own Instagram account, publications from which have repeatedly provoked outrage and attacks on the girl in the public. Lisa sent a letter about cyberbullying to the expert council of the State Duma of the Russian Federation for the development of the information society. Peskova's complaints were considered, and on this basis, in March 2018, a proposal appeared to develop amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which imply the introduction of penalties for cyberbullying.

Dmitry Peskov continues to fulfill his official duties, regularly appearing in front of the press with comments on the president's speeches. Sometimes his remarks lead Vladimir Putin to bewilderment, as the president told reporters on the American television channel NBC. According to the head of state, Dmitry Peskov “sometimes carries a blizzard,” expressing his own opinion.

According to Peskov himself, his work is not devoid of stress, the reaction to new information requires composure and stress resistance. Sport helps Dmitry to cope with the loads. In winter, the press secretary prefers walking on the ski track, in summer he plays tennis and jogging.

The family also provides powerful support for the statesman. Dmitry has established friendly relations with his previous wife and periodically visits Catherine, daughter and younger sons in Paris, as evidenced by joint family photos. Together with his current wife and children from previous marriages, Dmitry Peskov regularly flies to the sea coast.
