Comments in the media
As the press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov very often appears in Russian media news. According to journalists, being deputy press secretary of the president Alexey Gromov, Dmitry Peskov played the role of the “evil press secretary”, giving comments on the most pressing issues.
For example, Dmitry Peskov informed the public through news in the media that the Russian authorities had nothing to do with the death Alexandra Litvinenko.
“It feels like someone was pursuing only one goal - to continue to spin the flywheel of anti-Russian hysteria,” Peskov emphasized. “And they manage to do it.” Indeed, people are becoming zombies, they look at the Russians with their eyes wide open in horror, bilateral relations suffer, the interests of the British suffer.”
Commenting on March 13, 2007, the news of the intention Boris Berezovsky(expressed in an interview with the Guardian newspaper) “to overthrow Vladimir Putin,” Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian authorities consider this statement as a crime and hope that official London will refuse to extend the businessman’s status as a political refugee.

After Berezovsky's death in 2013, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the oligarch wrote a letter to Putin apologizing and asking him to be allowed to return to Russia. The letter itself, however, the Kremlin decided not to make public due to the fact that it “is too personal.”
When the media reproach government officials for corruption and hidden income, then, according to Peskov, all the income of civil servants is “very, very transparent” to the concerned bodies that are responsible for fighting corruption in Russia. “And the populist accusations of various activists are simply untrue, because, of course, these activists simply cannot know the information known to the intelligence services,” the press secretary of the Russian President emphasized.

News with Peskov’s comments appear in the media almost every day. Dmitry Peskov covers the hottest topics, the conflict in Ukraine with the DPR and LPR, news from Syria, problems in relations with the United States, in which, according to Dmitry Sergeevich, there is an “obsession with the so-called Russian factor.” Recently, after news from WikiLeaks that the CIA has five servers for listening to conversations of the Russian president, Peskov noted that the United States does not hide this.
Peskov’s lack of comments often makes news; he chose not to answer journalists’ questions about whether the Prime Minister should Dmitry Medvedev comment on the accusations of corruption that were made in the film of an opposition politician Alexei Navalny .

The third wife of Dmitry Peskov is a famous figure skater, Olympic champion Tatiana Navka. Dmitry Peskov and Tatyana Navka formalized their relationship in 2015, but the couple’s daughter Nadezhda was born on August 21, 2014. According to media reports, Tatyana Navka appeared in Peskov’s personal life back in 2010. As Tatyana Navka herself said, the president’s press secretary took her with “elegance and persistence,” although at first she didn’t even like her. Navka also noted that she resisted for a long time, “understanding the complexity of the situation.” Like, “there’s a family there, three children, and in general it’s all terrible,” she said.
The ex-skater announced the wedding of Dmitry Peskov and Tatyana Navka in an interview with Tatler magazine in July 2016. Navka’s photo graced the cover of the magazine with the headline “I couldn’t imagine that such a man could be next to me.” Dmitry Peskov and Tatiana Navka took place on August 1, 2015 at the Rodina Hotel in Sochi and caused a great stir.

Dmitry Peskov was satisfied with how the ceremony went, but noted that he did not want his wedding with Navka to become top news.
“The fact that this wedding was made such news, of course, I would not want, and I would like to carry out everything in the absence of any information calls, although everything went very well,” Peskov told reporters.
At the same time, Dmitry Peskov commented on the story of expensive watches raised by the oppositionist Alexei Navalny. According to the president’s press secretary, the watch was given to him by Navka, and therefore it is unlikely that the wife’s gifts to her husband “could be related to anti-corruption activities.” Tatyana Navka herself noted that she could afford to give an expensive gift.
Tatyana Navka and Dmitry Peskov spent their honeymoon in Italy, Sicily (according to another version, on a rented yacht Maltese Falcon off the coast of Sardinia). After the wedding, Tatyana Navka added openness to her husband, in particular, the athlete and TV star posted a photo of her little daughter and her husband on Instagram. Navka recently posted a photo of her husband in red pants with her daughter Nadezhda Peskova while clearing snow in the yard. A photo of Dmitry Peskov in red pants and UGG boots, waiting in line at a car wash near Moscow, caused a certain resonance.

According to Tatyana Navka, Dmitry Sergeevich is “a man of manic pedantry,” and at the same time very simple, with whom you can “go to concerts, theaters, visits, and even buy groceries.” And “for all his busyness, when he comes home, he manages to nail something there, repair it, pump up the wheels,” said Tatyana Navka.

Biography of Dmitry Peskov

The future politician and talented diplomat was born in 1967 in the capital of our Motherland. Little Dima studied in specialized schools at embassies, so the knowledge was an order of magnitude higher than that received by his peers in secondary schools.
Dmitry constantly traveled, and most often to Arab states. From an early age, the boy spoke fluently several languages, including Turkish.
After completing secondary education, the young man did not even face the question of what to become. He wanted to become an expert in the study of Arab countries. In 1989 he graduated from the ISSA Institute, where he specialized in African and Asian countries, and immediately went to serve in the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In 1990, the guy left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and took the post of secretary to the attaché and assistant. I worked for a long time at the Turkish Embassy, where my perfect knowledge of the Turkish language came in handy.
In 1999, fate brought him together with Boris Yeltsin, for whom he acted as a translator at the OSCE summit in the capital of the Turkish state. After this political event, Peskov’s rapid career growth began. He was a government press secretary and was a member of the commission regulating cinema issues.

The young man followed in his father’s footsteps and even chose Arab countries as his sphere of diplomatic activity, just like him. However, he failed to get into the Arabic department, so he entered the Turkish department.
As for the mother, even her name is unknown. For some reason, Dmitry Peskov refuses to talk about her and her role in his life. No one can say for certain what this phenomenon is connected with.

This marriage was not successful and soon ended. Anastasia claims that the reason was her husband’s infidelity, and Dmitry is sure that the reason was Anastasia’s inability to behave correctly. Quarrels began when the couple moved to Turkey to work at the embassy.

After the divorce, she moved to the UK, married several times and gave birth to five more children.
Dmitry Peskov's ex-wife - Ekaterina Solotsinskaya
The ex-wife of Dmitry Peskov, Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, is the daughter of a Russian diplomat, whom Peskov seduced at the age of fourteen. In 1994, when Katya turned 18, the couple got married.

The woman and her children left Turkey and settled on Rublevskoye Highway. She became a co-owner of a beauty salon. In 2012, family happiness disappeared, and the young people dissolved their marriage. Dmitry Peskov and his wife Ekaterina photo separated, and Peskov’s betrayal was again cited as the reason.
Dmitry Peskov's wife - Tatyana Navka
Dmitry Peskov’s wife, Tatyana Navka, appeared in the diplomat’s life in 2014. They met at a mutual friend’s birthday party and started dating, however, the relationship was kept secret.
Tatyana knew that Peskov had four children and was married, and the chosen one made inquiries about her. This did not help save the second marriage, and brought closer the birth of an illegitimate daughter, whose father Tatyana flatly refused to talk about. Dmitry Peskov and Tatyana Navka, whose age difference is almost eight years, are happy and loved.
Dmitry Peskov and Tatyana Navka got married in photos and spent their honeymoon in Europe on their own yacht.
Peskov and Navka are opposite to the impossible, however, they were able to create a large and friendly family. All the diplomat's children, whom Tanya considers family, often visit it.
The photo of Dmitry Peskov before and after plastic surgery is a blatant photoshop, since the diplomat has never used the services of plastic surgeons. He does not recognize rejuvenation and considers it something unnatural.
Peskov is so pleased with his appearance that he has not shaved his mustache for several decades. They became his insignia and feature, for which Dmitry was often reproached and ridiculed. The famous diplomat finally shaved off his mustache when he lost an argument with his daughter Lisa. He not only fulfilled the terms of the bet, but also posted photographs on the Internet.

Therefore, Peskov’s several marriages, his watches, words, suits and income become the topic of heated discussions in the media and the Internet. Let's talk about how Dmitry Peskov's biography developed, how he came to the Kremlin and the details of his private life.
Childhood and origins
Dmitry Peskov, whose biography and personal history are the subject of our article, was born on October 17, 1967 in Moscow. There is little information about his parents. The father of the future press secretary at the time of his son’s birth was a student at the prestigious Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University. After graduating from university, Sergei Nikolaevich Peskov worked in the countries of the Arab world: Oman, Palestine, Pakistan. Dmitry spent his childhood in these exotic places; he knew the culture and characteristics of these states well. For him, his father was an undoubted authority and role model. Peskov Sr. made an excellent career in the diplomatic sphere and contributed to the promotion of his son.
Education
Dmitry Peskov, whose biography was connected with foreign countries from early childhood, studied at embassy schools, where they traditionally provide a high level of education. He also learned several languages from an early age. After graduating from school, Dmitry didn’t even have a question about where to go. He decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a specialist in Arab countries. But when passing the entrance exams, he was unable to score enough points for the Arabic department and entered the Turkish department. He studied well and mastered the Turkish language perfectly, which greatly contributed to his subsequent career advancement.
Diplomatic career
After graduation, Dmitry receives an excellent assignment: he comes to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But he did not stay in desk work for long. In 1990, he became an assistant on duty at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Turkey. Peskov spoke excellent Turkish and had good diplomatic skills, so he quickly rose to the occasion. For 10 years, Dmitry Peskov, whose biography followed a favorable scenario, went through all the steps of the career ladder. Starting from the position of assistant, he rose to the position of first secretary of the embassy in Turkey. In 1999, a fateful meeting took place in the life of a diplomat. Russian President Boris Yeltsin is coming to Turkey for the OSCE Summit. He was met by embassy staff and the head of Russia noticed a young, charming and excellent Turkish-speaking embassy employee. He stated that he wants Peskov to be his personal translator during his entire visit to Turkey. And for several days, together with the president, Dmitry did not leave TV screens around the world. This meeting had great consequences for Peskov - Yeltsin called him to Moscow.
Arrival in the Kremlin
In 2000, the post of President of the Russian Federation was occupied by Vladimir Putin, and he did not forget about the young diplomat who came to the administration at Yeltsin’s invitation. So, Dmitry Peskov (the biography takes a sharp turn) becomes the head of the department for interaction with the media in the presidential press service. He also serves as a personal translator during Putin’s meeting with the leader of Turkey. In the press service, Peskov is also starting to grow quite quickly. He becomes deputy head of the department, then deputy presidential press secretary. In 2003, Dmitry Peskov’s biography brings him to St. Petersburg - he is entrusted with overseeing the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Northern capital. And in 2004, he became the first deputy of Alexei Gromov, Putin’s press secretary. In this position, he was responsible for ensuring interaction between the press service and executive authorities. He was also entrusted with responsibilities for conducting major information events, such as press conferences of the President, television “direct lines,” and meetings with foreign journalists. Also during this period, Peskov periodically received the right to voice the position of the head of state on certain issues. In 2006, he was press secretary for the St. Petersburg G8 summit. After that, until 2014, Peskov was the coordinator of interaction with a foreign PR company, which was engaged in creating a positive image of Russia abroad. After the annexation of Crimea, this work was considered inappropriate and was curtailed.
Press service of the Prime Minister
In 2008, Dmitry Medvedev became President of the Russian Federation, and V. Putin moved to the position of Prime Minister. The government also had its own press service, headed by its own secretary. Dmitry Peskov, whose biography is already closely intertwined with the fate of V. Putin, took this position. He was involved in coverage and information support of the Prime Minister’s meetings, in particular, Putin’s participation in the G8 summit and the APEC summit. Peskov was included in several government committees, including the Cinema Development Council.
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation
In 2012, Vladimir Putin returned to the post of head of state. Dmitry Peskov, whose biography runs parallel to the life of the president, also receives a new appointment: he becomes deputy head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, and, in fact, remains the personal press secretary of the head of the country. In the summer of 2012, a new department was created in the Administration - for public relations, Peskov was entrusted to head it. Now he is coordinating the information work of ministries, departments and departments in the country and abroad. Dmitry Nikolayevich’s service is entrusted with the tasks of improving the image of Russia abroad, providing information support for the coverage of the Olympics in Sochi, and improving the investment attractiveness of the country for foreign partners. In 2012, Dmitry Peskov, a biography whose personal life is now inseparable from the life of the head of state, is organizing and covering the participation of the head of state in the APEC summit. Peskov’s authority and political weight are increasing. In 2016, new appointments began to be predicted for him; experts claim that his candidacy is being seriously considered as a possible candidate for the post of Assistant to the President for International Affairs.
Personality
Dmitry Peskov, biography, whose personal history interests many Russians today, is certainly a bright and extraordinary personality. He is known for his high loyalty to the current regime; he fully supports all the undertakings and initiatives of the head of state. It is known about his own views, only that Peskov was previously a member of the LDPR party and sympathized with V. Zhirinovsky. Later, the press secretary said that he was attracted by the fact that Zhirinovsky was also a Turkologist.
Journalists know that Dmitry Peskov, whose biography, whose personal life is of great interest to media representatives, is fond of tennis and knows three languages. He suffered from asthma for many years and was in critical condition more than once. Peskov is a big sports fan; he often attends major competitions, including abroad.
Private life
Dmitry Peskov, biography, personal life, whose wife is perhaps the most popular topic in media materials, is known for his stormy relationships with the opposite sex. He was married three times. His first wife was the granddaughter of the famous commander Budyonny. But she could not withstand the difficult life in the Turkish embassy, and the marriage broke up. To this union a son, Nikolai, was born. Peskov’s second wife was Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, who, like her husband, came from a family of diplomats. The marriage produced 3 children: a daughter and two sons.
In 2015, the press secretary married Olympic champion, figure skater Tatyana Navka. By this time, the couple already had a daughter together.

But years later, the marriage broke up - the girl could not stand the role of a diplomat’s wife in Turkey, where there was a limited circle of communication and movement.
The second marriage seemed stronger, but also broke up. This time, Dmitry’s wife in 1994 was eighteen-year-old Ekaterina Solotsinskaya, the daughter of a diplomat and hereditary noblewoman of the Schlegel family. The husband was almost ten years older. The marriage seemed strong; the woman, despite her youth, kept the flame of the family hearth and supported her husband in his movement up the political ladder.
However, in 2012, she learned about her husband’s infidelity with the famous athlete Tatyana Navka. She was unable to forgive adultery. At the moment, the ex-wife has settled in Paris, participates in charity and is raising three children of Dmitry Peskov - daughter Lisa and sons Denis and Mika.
For two years, his relationship with Tatyana Navka was hidden from the general public; the skater herself admits that he had been pursuing her for a long time, and she wanted to keep everything a secret. In 2014, when a woman gave birth to a girl, Nadezhda, few people knew the name of her father. And only a year later, the loving couple finally legalized their relationship. The celebration, which took place on August 1, 2015, was called the “wedding of the year”; it was truly gorgeous. Registration took place in the sunny city of Sochi.
