Medvedev Dmitry Anatolyevich Chairman. Merits and failures. Dmitry Medvedev's attitude to religion and the national issue
It has long been noted that the children and grandchildren of our patriotic sovereign rulers study and live in the West.

This is only the shortest list; in fact, the number of children and grandchildren living in the West amounts to thousands, if not tens of thousands.
The list contains the most odious “patriots” and “enemies of the West” who keep their families in the “den of the enemy.”
Their children study, live and work in the West; they no longer have anything in common with Russia. This is the path their parents chose for them.
Their parents are the president, prime minister, his deputies, ministers, deputies, etc.~
They despise Russia and its people, they see the future of their children and their own in the West, where they have everything to meet old age.
With such a hypocritical government, Russia has no future.

However, the similarities in musical preferences are limited to this. According to his father, Ilya is a follower, and Dmitry Anatolyevich himself listens to Deep Purple. But, despite this, in 2009, the difference in tastes did not prevent the boy from playing on stage with the members of this group.
Ilya Dmitrievich Medvedev understands how important his father’s work is, and therefore it is not possible to see him often. As he admitted to journalists from the magazine “Secrets of the Stars,” they spend only 15-20 minutes together. On weekends there is a little more time for communication. But my son had to play football with the guards. Ilya’s favorite day was May 9, because then dad could be seen on TV at the parade and chat on Skype. The son also said that, according to tradition, he and his father celebrate the New Year together.
Public life
Ilya Medvedev, the son of Dmitry Medvedev, sometimes appears in public with his father. The former president sometimes gave interviews to journalists, where he talked about his son’s successes, his achievements and hobbies.
Ilya began acting in various television programs at the age of 12. The boy's first experience was the series "Jumble". He tried himself as an actor in the series “Hero” and “Take Me Down.” And now they can be seen on television. However, the fact that the president’s son played one of the main roles in Yeralash became known relatively recently. According to Ilya and the directors, no one knew who he was. The boy passed the auditions under general conditions.
In 2008, when Ilya Dmitrievich Medvedev was still a teenager accompanying his father, the Japanese Prime Minister gave the boy a toy. It was the blue robot cat Daraemon. As it turned out, Taro Aso inquired in advance what the president’s son was interested in. At that time, Ilya just liked Japanese cartoon characters.
Safety
The safety of the children of top officials of the state is a very serious matter. They were always guarded by several bodyguards. Ilya also has his own security. However, during classes at the Moscow state institute international relations, a VIP student must appear without security. According to the dean of the faculty, security within the walls of MGIMO is not uncommon. However, security guards are not allowed into lecture halls. 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 security wanted to go with them. According to Skvortsov, it took a lot of time to dissuade them.
The security of the top officials of the state and they must be ensured by employees of the Federal Security Service. Ilya Medvedev is one of these people.
Gossip
There are always a lot of rumors and conversations around famous people. Medvedev's son Ilya is no exception. Not long ago, an article appeared in the media saying that it was not without reason that he ended up at MGIMO. Some bloggers criticized the actions admissions committee. They were sure that Ilya entered the budget “through connections.” However, Medvedev Jr. scored the necessary plus, he had a significant benefit - victory in the Olympics.
A very big competition. In the budget department it is seventeen people per place. To enter the Faculty of International Law, it was necessary to pass one more additional test. Ilya scored 95 points out of 100. This was not the best result, which put him only in seventieth place on the list of future students of the budget department. However, there were seventy-seven such places in total. So Ilya Medvedev, his son, became a student in the budget department legally.
