Kitaeva Maria Vladimirovna: biography of the adviser to the Minister of Defense

The biography of adviser Maria Kitaeva can not be called average. Well, not every second and even tenth young lady in our country has enough intelligence and, what is already there, talent, after studying at a regular Moscow secondary school No. 1234, to take and enter MGIMO. And even the fact (and maybe not fact, but speculation) that Maria was born in Belgium and moved to Moscow to start school, little explains: the Belgian climate is not so miraculous as to increase the level of intelligence of its inhabitants at times. That is why many have a completely understandable interest in the miraculous ascension to such a high post of beautiful Mary.

Oh, these secrets …

So, the details of the biography of adviser Shoigu Maria Kitaeva turned out to be deeply conspiratorial, since they disappeared from the Network: date of birth, details of personal life, information about parents, etc.

Maria herself was extremely stingy with comments, limiting herself to a single phrase on Instagram regarding changes in her career: “Changed her job.”

A little later, apparently realizing that many bloggers, and just ordinary citizens, need information to reflect on changes in the biography of the adviser to the Minister of Defense Maria Kitaeva, a restrained addition was followed regarding her job responsibilities:

Of course, work in the administration of the Moscow region and in the Ministry of Defense are two big differences. Other tasks. I have many plans, but it’s too early to publish them, because the position on tasks for the post is still being prepared.

And then Maria explained that the issues of the information policy of the Ministry of Defense, as before, would remain under the responsibility of Tatyana Zavyalova.

After such clarifications, even more questions remained, in particular: what then will Kitaeva do if all the questions will be decided by Zavyalova? However, this question is rhetorical.

Dirty question

Bismarck also advised statesmen: "Speak the truth and only the truth … but not the whole truth." Judging by how quickly the "cleansing" of information related to the biography and age of Maria Kitaeva occurred, she not only heard about Bismarck, but was also familiar with his activities.

However, it is known that at the time of appointment to the post of adviser, Kitaeva was 26 years old, and the time of her stay on maternity leave coincided with the age of 31 years. Well, who is Mary according to the horoscope - is not so important.

It would seem, what does it matter? And it’s very big: in June 2012, the Governor of the Moscow Region Sergey Shoigu invited the TV presenter Maria Kitaeva to become his adviser on information policy. In November 2012, after his appointment to the post of Minister of Defense of Russia, big changes again took place in the biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva - she was appointed to the post of adviser to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

And a little over a year passed, as in January 2014, on the basis of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Kitaeva was assigned the third rank of state civil servants, which is equivalent to the military rank of Major General.

Thus, in Russia it is still possible to become a major general to a woman aged about 28 years, and never having completed military service anywhere. Where is the West with its feminists!

And as a conclusion - “oil painting”: a quote from Maria Kitaeva regarding the hasty receipt of military ranks:

I would never do that! This is unfair to people who take the oath and in difficult circumstances serve for years. Who am I to come and get it all ?! Getting stars on an accelerated program is an unacceptable practice.

So who is she?

The biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva has various topics, one of which is working on TV as a TV presenter, despite the fact that working on television was not on the list of her goals and was perceived more as a temporary passage option.

However, from 2007 to 2010, Maria worked first on the Stolitsa TV channel, and then on the Zvezda TV channel, after which she moved to the VGTRK in 2010, where the viewers were especially remembered due to their live behavior that went beyond the regulatory framework. Simply put, Masha got confused in economic terms and, after several unsuccessful attempts to reach the finish line, she giggled. But these were no longer Soviet times, so the incident did without obvious consequences.

The young and pretty TV presenter was engaged not only in reading economic news, but also in 2011 conducted the program “Conversation with Vladimir Putin”. In addition, many politicians and simply well-known personalities agreed to an interview with Kitaeva: Dmitry Peskov, Irina Vinner, Mikhail Prokhorov, James Cameron, Vladimir Pozner. And there is nothing to remind of a well-known interview with the President of the Russian Federation in 2011 … remember the yellow Lada Kalina?

And there were work on documentaries "East Russia" and M-58 "Amur", as well as reports from Syria, Tunisia and Libya.

The list of Kitaeva’s activities will be incomplete without mentioning documentaries about the work of the Ministry of Emergencies before the transition to work in Shoigu.

Learning is light

In the biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva, studying at MGIMO was only the beginning of the educational process. After graduating from a prestigious educational institution in 2005, she, according to some sources on the network, tried herself in the modeling business until 2007.

But then she decided to study acting, for which she entered RATI-GITIS. She graduated from Mary in 2011.

During her studies, in 2008, Maria Kitaeva made her debut in the role of Suzon in the entreprise "8 Women and …" based on the play by Robert Tom.

This detective story has been repeatedly staged by many theater groups. Decided to try himself as a director and Sergei Poselsky, who currently works at the Moscow Academic Theater. Mayakovsky.

He was a graduate of the directing department of RATI-GITIS. Work began on the entreprise in May 2008. Poselsky gathered outstanding actresses, including: Elena Kondulainen, Natalya Andreichenko, Natalya Selezneva, Anna Samokhina, Evelina Bledans … and acting student Maria Kitaeva.

The performance was shown in Moscow on July 31, 2008, but as a premiere.

Having run the entreprise first in Blagoveshchensk, then in St. Petersburg, Sergei Poselsky presented "8 Women and …" on November 24, 2008 at the Vakhtangov Theater. Records of this performance are not on the Internet, you can find only photos in which, including debutant Maria Kitaeva.

There are references to the film debut of Maria Kitaeva in the film "Year of the Horse: Scorpio Constellation."

Family portrait in the interior

Very little is known about the family life of Maria Kitaeva. In her Instagram there are photos with two young children, close people, a significant number of photos of Shoigu, photos of concert halls testifying to Maria’s addiction to classical music, photos of various scenic spots and not a single photo of her husband.

However, in one of the issues of the Orthodox magazine for doubters, "Thomas" (No. 11 (67) from 2008), you can see not only a photo confirming the fact that Archpriest Nikolai Stepanyuk held the wedding ceremony of Maria Kitaeva and Alexei Tuzov, but also read the article "Our Family started in the Church."

This event, which is absolutely significant for every couple, took place at the Holy Epiphany Cathedral in Moscow in 2008 in the Holy Trinity, which was dated June 15 that year.

Due to the complete absence on the Maria’s page of her husband’s traces, one can assume different things: since 2008 a lot of water has flowed.

But there is nothing on the Internet, and no one, once lit up on the Web, can simply disappear into nowhere.

Alexey Tuzov is currently an independent expert in the transport field.

Some time ago, he worked as the General Director at FSUE Road Infrastructure and Service, then Advisor to the General Director at PromSvyaz Asset Management Ltd, as well as First Vice President at AvtoSpetsTsentr Group of Companies.

However, what role Alexey Tuzov plays today in the biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva is not known.
