Safety
The safety of the 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 guards.

According to the dean of the faculty, security guards within the walls of MGIMO are not uncommon. However, in lecturehalls guards are not allowed. They meet and escort their clients 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 guards wanted to go along with them. According to Skvortsov, it took a very long time to dissuade them.
The security of the first persons of the state and their immediate family members must be ensured by the employees of the Federal Security Service. Ilya Medvedev is one of them.
