Nataliya Timakova

Natalya Aleksandrovna Timakova is the current press secretary of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, the former press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

Natalia's parents worked in the aircraft industry in the city of Khotkovo near Moscow, both graduated from the engineering faculty of the Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology. But Natalia's mother was from Kazakhstan (from the family of a former power engineer of the Karaganda State District Power Plant, later - an employee of the Ministry of the Soviet Republic), so she went to give birth to her first child. Natalia was born on April 12, 1975 in the capital of Kazakhstan.

Parents put a lot of effort into raising children: Natalia and her younger brother Mikhail. The Timakovs regularly traveled to the capital for concerts, performances and museum exhibitions. Natalia showed love for the humanities, and Mikhail went into medicine, became a pharmacologist, a candidate of sciences.

After the 9th grade, Timakova went to study at an experimental school in Alma-Ata, to her mother's relatives. The girl wanted to continue to improve in the humanitarian sphere, and in her hometown, schools specialized in educating future engineers and researchers. Having easily mastered the Kazakh language, which was included in the compulsory program of the experimental educational institution, Natalya diligently comprehended philosophy, economics and rhetoric.

After graduating from high school, the girl returned to Russia and independently entered the philosophy department of Moscow State University. In 1995, Natalya Timakova, a second-year student at Moscow State University, saw an advertisement in the newspaper and went to work as an intern in the political review department of the Moskovsky Komsomolets publication.

In 1996, a young journalist is included in the presidential pool of Boris Yeltsin. In 1997 he moved to the Kommersant publishing house. In 1999, the director of the Interfax agency, Mikhail Komissar, invites Timakova to the position of a political observer.

Together with the journalists of the Kommersant newspaper Andrei Kolesnikov and Natalia Gevorkyan Timakova is working on the creation of a collection of interviews “From the first person. Conversations with Vladimir Putin ", which included not only conversations with Vladimir Vladimirovich, but also statements of persons from the inner circle of the future president. On the eve of the elections, the book was already in the printing house, but according to the requirements of the law on the election campaign, it could not go on sale until election day. Therefore, the first 15,000 edition was purchased by Putin himself. In the future, the publication was distributed on a general basis.

The appointment in the fall of 1999 of Natalya Aleksandrovna as press secretary of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and deputy head of the Department of Government Information Andrei Korotkov was not a surprise to the girl: Timakova's candidacy was well known to representatives of the Kremlin apparatus. A month later, Natalia was dismissed from the post of press attaché by Mikhail Kozhukhov, leaving a post in the information department for the journalist.

After Vladimir Putin came to power, Natalia Timakova was invited under the leadership of Alexander Voloshin to the government apparatus. Natalya Aleksandrovna successfully copes with the tasks set for the presidential press service, and after 4 years the former journalist takes over as head of the Department. The fragile shoulders of Natalya Timakova are responsible for the issuance of decrees of the head of state, for the design of audio and video archives of the government, for holding press conferences.

Timakova strengthens its position in the government of the Russian Federation and becomes, along with Igor Shuvalov and Arkady Dvorkovich, the confidant of First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. It was under the leadership of Natalya Aleksandrovna that the Successor project, which was secretly launched in 2006, was carried out.

After Dmitry Medvedev won the presidential election in March 2008, Natalya Timakova received a promotion. Since May 2008, Timakova took the post of press secretary of the head of the Russian Federation. The new responsibilities now included the promotion of Dmitry Anatolyevich in the Internet sphere, the creation of the president's personal blog in LiveJournal. This method of communicating with citizens and journalists was first used in Russian politics.

Having studied the dynamics of the blog's influence on Medvedev's popularity in society, Natalya Timakova continued to oversee the creation of the president's accounts on hosting services operating in Russia: Facebook and VKontakte. Communication with the Russian media took place exclusively at press conferences, then this is how foreign journalists were invited to personal meetings with Dmitry Anatolyevich.

During Medvedev's term as president, Timakova provided contact with advisers to the head of state, representatives of the liberal wing: Leonid Reiman, Elvira Nabiullina, Igor Yurgens, Alexander Budberg, Yevgeny Gontmakher, Ruslan Grinberg. Timakova voiced Dmitry Medvedev's theses from the 2010 article “Forward Russia!”, Calling them far-reaching plans, the implementation of which is designed for more than one presidential term.

In 2012, after the change in the country's leadership, Natalya Timakova remains the press secretary of Dmitry Medvedev, who now holds the post of Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. Natalya Aleksandrovna's responsibilities remain unchanged: overseeing relations with the media, writing press releases for the chief's speeches, working on promoting the prime minister's public Internet accounts, structuring information archives.

Natalya Timakova, together with a group of specialists, is working on a program to create a positive image of the Russian Government at home and abroad. In addition to the main responsibilities, the Prime Minister's press secretary was responsible for overseeing the information coverage of the Sochi Olympics and the 2014 Paralympics.

In 2015, a scandal erupted in the Internet space related to the hacker hacking of the personal mail archive of Natalya Aleksandrovna Timakova by a group of swindlers "Shaltai-Boltai". The stolen information, containing information about the biography of Medvedev's press secretary and her professional activities, was sold from a virtual auction on the Information Exchange website.

The specified volume of Timakova's correspondence was sold for 150 bitcoins ($ 34 thousand). The fee was distributed among the members of the Shaltai-Boltai hacker group: Vladimir Anikeev, Konstantin Teplyakov, Andrei Nekrasov and Alexander Glazastikov. The investigation established the fact of break-in, and soon the participants in the conspiracy were arrested. An investigation is underway.

The personal life of Natalia Timakova is closely related to her career. In 1995, the girl in the editorial office of the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper met with the journalist Alexander Petrovich Budberg, already well-known at that time, who at that time worked in the field of political and military journalism. The correspondent was often sent on business trips to Chechnya, as well as to meetings with the ruling elite. For a long time, young people maintained friendly relations, but in the early 2000s they began to live together. The wedding of Timakova and Budberg took place in 2005.

In 2008, after Natalya was appointed as Medvedev's press secretary, her husband had to leave the publishing house of Moskovsky Komsomolets, where he worked in the political review department. Two years after leaving journalism, Budberg joined the Council at the head of VTB Bank. The spouses have no children yet, and Natalia does not exclude the possibility of adopting a child.

In addition to the fact that Natalia and Alexander separately own several apartments in the Russian capital, in 2013 the family acquired a mansion and a 2-hectare plot on the Latvian coast. Two cars are also recorded in the name of Budberg: Mercedes Benz S 350L and Mercedes Benz GL 500.

Natalia Timakova maintains her own Instagram account, which is subscribed to by 15 thousand people. On his personal page he mainly uploads photos taken while traveling.

According to the income statement for 2016, Natalya Timakova earned a little less than 8 million rubles in a year, and her husband - about 9 million. In March 2017, the results of an investigation by Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Fund group were published regarding foreign real estate, the ownership of which was attributed to Dmitry Medvedev. 

The Prime Minister called these facts "compote", and Natalya Timakova said that the government refuses to comment on this information, as it considers it "black PR" of the election campaign that Alexei Navalny has already started.
