The life of the heirs of Russian political figures is always closed from prying eyes by a dense screen. The politicians themselves, for obvious reasons, do not talk about their relatives, do not give any comments about their lives and activities. Their children are also not inclined to frank conversations with reporters.

It is about this beautiful and intelligent woman that will be discussed in today's article.
