The prime minister is the right hand of the president. His main assistant at work is the Cabinet of Ministers. And at home - a beloved wife. The wife of the current Russian prime minister (before that, the president) is Svetlana Medvedeva. Maiden name - Linnik. This beautiful woman knows what rules to follow for her husband to become president.
Childhood and school years
The biography of Medvedeva Svetlana began in March 1965. It was on the fifteenth day of spring in the city of Kronstadt that the future first lady of the Russian Federation was born. Her parents had professions far from politics. Father - Vladimir Alekseevich - gave his heart to the navy. Mom - Larisa Ivanovna - was an economist.
The girl spent her preschool years alternately in the small village of Kovashi, in the city of Lomonosov and Kronstadt. Then the family moves to Leningrad. It was in this city with white nights that the school biography of Svetlana Medvedeva was written. In the first grade of secondary school No. 305, she met a shy boy Dima, who bore the name Medvedev. This isand was her future husband.
Many write that they were struck by love at first sight. Undoubtedly, from the boy's point of view, it was so. But Svetlana was very popular at school, she was always surrounded by a crowd of fans. So whether they had everything mutually or feelings remained unrequited, only the woman herself knows. The biography of Svetlana Medvedeva is replete with creative facts: she participated in the theatrical life of the school, was a representative of the KVN team.
Meeting fate
After graduating from a secondary school, the girl enters the Financial and Economic Institute, located in Leningrad. An activist and bright personality at school, she was unable to replicate her success in higher education. Having studied at the full-time department for a very short time, the student is transferred to the evening. In parallel with higher education, the biography of Medvedeva Svetlana is replenished with labor events taking place in the life of a girl. At this time, she actively works for the benefit of the city: she organizes various events and advocates for improving the lives of citizens. She has always been indifferent to people. Her responsiveness and kindness were an example for many people.
After a while she meets Dmitry again. Their silent high school romance finds a continuation, and in 1989 the couple ties the knot in a sacred marriage. It was then that the name Linnik sank into oblivion. In its place came a sonorous replacement - Medvedev. At first, the couple lived in an apartment with Svetlana's parents. Thanks to her natural charm, this blondthe beauty easily acquired connections that would have a huge impact on her husband's career in the future.
Active activity
In 1996, the life of the spouses is marked by a significant event: the son Ilya is born. Since that time, Svetlana has not officially worked, but she is widely involved in charity work. She leads the growing social program, blessed by Patriarch Alexy II - "Spiritual and moral culture of the younger generation of Russia." Under this slogan is a whole range of activities aimed at creating shelters, trips to holy places and other charitable plans. The patron of the St. Petersburg boarding school No. 1, the initiator of the All-Russian Day of the Family and the Fund for Social and Cultural Initiatives - this is not all that Svetlana Medvedeva has achieved. The biography of this strong woman is closely intertwined with the biography of her husband, who owes a lot to his first love.
