The 55th anniversary of the first lady in January was unnoticed, the article said. “The exception was the strange message of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov on Twitter when he congratulated the“ first wife of President Putin, ”the author noted.

According to some reports, Putin is supervised by the center of interpersonal communications. It is believed that it was on her initiative that the Center held a scandalous reconstruction of the Yunost Park in Kaliningrad. In March 2013, the organization began the destruction of the house on the Vozdvizhenka, described in the novel "War and Peace" as the House of the Old Prince of Bolkonsky.
