Security
The safety of children of the first persons of the state is a very serious matter. They were always guarded by several bodyguards. Ilya also has his own guard. However, in the classroom at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, a VIP student must appear without protection. According to the dean of the faculty, security within the walls of MGIMO is not uncommon. However, guards are not allowed in the lecture halls. They meet their clients and escorted them at the door. Dean Skvortsov said that sometimes situations with personal bodyguards reach the point of absurdity. For example, when Gorbachev’s granddaughters had to undergo a medical examination, and the security wanted to go with them. According to Skvortsov, it took a lot of time to dissuade them.
The security of the first persons of the state and their closest relatives should be ensured by employees of the Federal Security Service. Ilya Medvedev is one of those.
