"Putin promotes her": the niece of the President of the Russian Federation became the "rising star" of the Ministry of Defense - the media

The sources close to the Kremlin have shared that the Russian president is increasingly isolated from society every year, but Anna Tsivileva, through family ties, has direct contact with him. There is no such advantage even for some of its heads from the defense department. Russian President Volodymyr Putin has appointed his niece Anna a comprehensive state secretary of the Ministry of Defense and this is the first public case when the Head of State gave his position a relative.

Bloomberg said that it was known. The journalists called the Russian president's relative "ascending star of the Ministry of Defense", because it has an impact in the closest environment of Vladimir Putin. The editorial staff managed to talk to five people who are close to the Kremlin at once and know some details about the daughter of the late cousin of the Russian head of state. Annie is 52 years old and she has the best and most direct access to the Kremlin's head.

There is no such advantage even for some of its chiefs from the Ministry of Defense, so a woman is considered a "serious political figure", insiders say anonymity. Its influence is so great that she can hold working meetings with Vladimir Putin himself or see him at unofficial events and parties. The interlocutors of journalists share that the President of the Russian Federation is becoming more and more isolated every year, so the access that his niece has is extremely valuable.

Earlier, Anna Tsivileva was engaged in housing and communal services and social security of servicemen, now it is the main link between the Ministry of Defense and the Parliament under all laws related to military topics, and controls the bureaucratic machine of the department. All because of the increase to the Secretary of State. The journalists asked the Russian President Dmitry Peskov's press secretary to comment on the situation, but he did not answer.

"Putin promotes her, apparently, because she considers it quite effective. The tandem she created with her husband in the Kemerovo region has given a good result, the reviews are mostly positive," said political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko. Anna Zivileva's husband in 2018 was appointed to the post of deputy governor of the Kemerovo region, and then became a governor. He is now the Minister of Energy.

Vladimir Putin himself does not publicly speak about his family in public and even hides the personalities of his adult daughters. Nevertheless, his relatives have stable sources of income and occupy decent positions, including in state -owned enterprises. People who have family ties with the Russian President also do not actively appear in public and keep away from talking about it.

"When Putin became President of 2000, the Zivileva worked as a psychiatrist in a poor regional town in Central Russia. In 2012, she together with her husband purchased a controlling stake in the Colmar Central Coal Company. She built an ice arena shortly afterwards When Putin publicly demonstrated his passion for playing in hockey, in particular, killing goals into the goal of Russian legends, "the message reads.

Subsequent years, the niece of the Russian President moved his career ladder and in 2023 became the head of the State Foundation for Assistance to the Federation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Then, as sources of journalists say, Vladimir Putin rejected the candidates proposed by assistants and stopped at Anna Tsivillova. In this work, she made a strong impression on the head of the Kremlin, so he further promoted her in other agencies.

"Today, her political weight is supported by her media grip. She is the first deputy in the Ministry of Defense, which has her own Telegram-channel, and she regularly acts on television," the message reads. We will remind, on March 12 it was reported that Roszma reported the death of "brother" Vladimir Putin, who is the father of Anna Zivileva. According to Russian journalists, Yevgeny Putin was allegedly a cousin to the Russian president.
