The biography of adviser Maria Kitaeva cannot be called average. Well, not every second and even tenth young lady in our country has enough intelligence and, what is there, talent, after studying at an ordinary Moscow secondary school No. 1234, to take and enter MGIMO. And even the fact (or maybe not a fact, but speculation) that Maria was born in Belgium and moved to Moscow by the beginning of her schooling does not explain much: 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 quite understandable interest in the miraculous ascension to such a high position of the beautiful Mary.

Oh mysteries…

So, the details of the biography of Shoigu's adviser Maria Kitaeva turned out to be deeply conspiratorial, as they disappeared from the Web: datebirth, details of personal life, information about parents, etc.

Maria herself was extremely stingy with comments, limiting herself to one phrase on Instagram regarding changes in her career: "I changed my job."

Somewhat later, apparently realizing that numerous bloggers, and just ordinary citizens, need information to think about changes in the biography of Advisor to the Minister of Defense Maria Kitaeva, a discreet addition regarding her official duties followed:

Of course, work in the administration of the Moscow Region and in the Ministry of Defense are two big differences. Tasks are different. I have a lot of plans, but it's too early to make them public, because the regulation on tasks for the position is still being prepared.

And further, Maria explained that issues of the information policy of the Ministry of Defense, as before, will remain under the jurisdiction of Tatiana Zavyalova.

After such clarifications, even more questions remain, in particular: what will Kitaeva do then if Zavyalova decides all issues? However, this question is rhetorical.

Indecent question

Bismarck also advised statesmen: "Tell the truth and only the truth … but not the whole truth." Judging by how quickly the "cleansing" of information regarding the biography and age of Maria Kitaeva took place, she not only heard about Bismarck, but is also familiar with his activities.

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

It would seem, what does it matter? A very large one: in June 2012, the governor of the Moscow region, Sergei Shoigu, invited 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 more than a year passed, as in January 2014, on the basis of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Kitaeva was awarded 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 for a woman of about 28 years old, who has never done military service anywhere. Where is the West with its feminists!

And as a conclusion - "oil painting": a quote from Maria Kitaeva about the hasty acquisition of military ranks:

I would never do this! This is unfair to people who take an oath and serve for years in difficult conditions. Who am I to come and get everything like that?! Fast track stars are not an acceptable practice.

So who is she?

There are various topics in the biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva, one of which is work on TV as a TV presenter, despite the fact that work on television was not on the list of her goals and was perceivedmore like a temporary pass option.

However, from 2007 to 2010, Maria worked first on the Stolitsa TV channel, and then on the Zvezda TV channel, after which in 2010 she moved to the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, where she was especially remembered by viewers in connection with her behavior on the air, gone beyond the norm. 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 had no obvious consequences.

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

And there were also work on documentaries "Eastern 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 Emergency Situations just before going to work for 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 the RATI-GITIS. Maria graduated in 2011.

During her studies, in 2008, Maria Kitaeva made her debut as 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. I decided to try myself 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 enterprise in May 2008. Poselsky gathered outstanding actresses, among them: Elena Kondulainen, Natalya Andreichenko, Natalya Selezneva, Anna Samokhina, Evelina Bledans… and acting student Maria Kitaeva.

In Moscow, the performance was shown on July 31, 2008, but as a pre-premiere.

Having run around the entreprise, first in Blagoveshchensk, then in St. Petersburg, Sergey Poselsky presented "8 Women and …" on November 24, 2008 at the Vakhtangov Theater. There is no recording of this performance on the Internet, you can only find photos, in which, among other things, debutante Maria Kitaeva.

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

Family portrait in the interior

Extremely little is known about Maria Kitaeva's family life. In her Instagram there are photos with two small children, close people, a significant number of photos of Shoigu, photos of concert halls, indicatingMaria'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) of 2008), you can see not only a photo confirming the fact that Archpriest Nikolai Stepanyuk performed the wedding ceremony of Maria Kitaeva and Alexei Tuzov, but also read with the article “Our Family Started in the Church.”

This event, undoubtedly significant for every married couple, took place at the Moscow Epiphany Cathedral in Yelokhovo in 2008 on the Holy Trinity, which that year fell on the date of June 15.

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

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 transport expert.

Some time ago, he worked as General Director at the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Road Infrastructure and Service", then as Advisor to the General Director at PromSvyaz Asset Management Ltd, and also as First Vice President at AvtoSpetsTsentr Group of Companies.

However, what role Alexei Tuzov plays today in the biography of Maria Vladimirovna Kitaeva is unknown.

Next - Your way out

Currently, Maria Kitaeva is on maternity leave. However, it is possible that maternity leave turned into leave to care for a child up to 1.5 years old.

She was replaced by a 26-year-old journalistRussian Markovskaya. The new "defender" managed to work on the Zvezda TV channel.

Instead of an epilogue

The history of Russia remembers many examples of women who gave their lives for their Motherland. Among them, including the namesake of our heroine - Maria Bochkareva, who, thanks to the personal order of the emperor, was enrolled in the regiment, formed the First Women's "Death Battalion", went through fierce battles, and was deservedly awarded the "George Cross". Based on the events of her life, the film "Battalion" was created.

But these events took place almost 100 years ago.
