On June 11, 2015, at a ceremony in Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation, a tall, handsome woman, dressed in military uniform, slowly walked from the stage to Putin.
Putin then took out an armband symbolizing the rank of major general from the tray of the ceremonial soldier next to him, and then handed it to the woman in full view of everyone.
Natalia
After this scene was filmed by the reporters present, it was released to the news of the day, and it also caused heated discussion among netizens on the Internet.
Who is this young and beautiful looking woman? Would you actually get the rank of major general in Russia, which attaches great importance to the military? And it was putin himself to award the medal?
In fact, if you understand the development of things, you will definitely exclaim: "This woman is not simple!" ”
A beautiful prosecutor from a poor background
In 1980, in a small town in the Voroshilovgrad Oblast (present-day Luhansk Oblast) of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union, a peasant family of Ethnic Russians welcomed their daughter.
Because she was born with extremely beautiful big eyes, her parents gave her an equally beautiful name, Natalia Boklonskaya.
Natalia is lively by nature, so from an early age she was able to mingle with a group of children around her, which also developed her excellent leadership.
But due to her poor family, Natalia has not received a good education.
Until the age of 7, Natalia's parents decided to move the family to Crimea in southern Ukraine and defect to their relatives. It is relatively wealthy and can support children to complete their own education.
In this way, Natalia smoothly entered the school and began to accept knowledge.
Poor family conditions always make people's character and will very tough, and Natalia is one of them. During her school days, Natalia immersed herself in hard reading and studying hard, and she knew deeply that the only way to change her destiny was to master knowledge.
At the age of eighteen, Natalia successfully completed her secondary school studies and successfully entered the National University of Yalta to study internal affairs, laying the foundation for her to move forward on the road to politics.
On the campus of the university, Natalia did not relax after being admitted to the university like other students, but faced with more professional knowledge of internal affairs, she studied harder than ever, because in Natalia's heart, she knew very well what she wanted.
Whenever roommates in the same dorm room go out and go on a date with their boyfriends, Natalia will always be alone in the library, reading until the lights go out late at night.
In 2002, at the age of 22, Natalia successfully completed four years of university studies and graduated with a degree.
With excellent grades, Natalia was hired as the Interregional Environmental Prosecutor of Simferopol as soon as she stepped out of school.
In the same class, when the students were still working as section members at the grassroots level, Natalia was already a small leader with some power.
However, although she was young in power, Natalia did not feel complacent and proud, but worked hard in her post and did not dare to neglect her work at all.
Natalia worked as environmental prosecutor for three consecutive years, and during that three years, the entire Environment of Simferopol changed dramatically under her command.
Many of the abandoned factories have been demolished and replaced with public facilities, and the dilapidated roads and streets have been converted into new asphalt roads, and large areas of plants and meadows can be seen throughout the area.
Due to her excellent political performance, Natalia was also transferred to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to work for the General Prosecutor's Office.
First he was promoted to assistant prosecutor, then deputy prosecutor general, and finally to prosecutor general of the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine.
During this time, Natalia slowly moved up step by step, and also used this opportunity to accumulate a lot of experience in inspection work.
Became a well-known "beautiful female prosecutor" in Ukraine.
Back to his hometown "Public Investment in Russia"
During her tenure as prosecutor of the Attorney-General's Office, Natalia handled many difficult and major cases in Ukraine.
In 2011, Natalia Poklonskaya investigated the involvement of a former representative of the Supreme People's Commissar of Crimea, Rubymu Aronov, manager of the "Tavrya" football and entertainment department in Simferopol, into the involvement of armed criminal groups and deliberate homicides.
This Aronov has a very deep personal relationship in Ukraine due to his long-term business activities. Therefore, many prosecutors have felt a lot of headaches about his case, on the one hand, they are afraid that they will not be able to successfully convict him, and on the other hand, they are afraid that the forces behind him will retaliate against them.
However, Natalia has never been afraid of these things, and the day she chooses to serve in the procuratorate, she has the determination and courage to fight against these evil forces.
After collecting evidence of Aronov's crimes, Natalia personally sent him to prison, a case that also made Natalita famous in Ukraine.
I thought that my career would be like this, step by step upwards, and finally work in the position of prosecutor for decades and then retire peacefully. Unexpectedly, however, a huge change in 2014 once again changed Natalia's fate.
The Ukraine crisis was halted by the pro-Russian Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych at the end of 2013 and the signing of a political and free trade agreement with the European Union to strengthen relations with Russia.
When the news reached Ukraine, it caused an instant uproar.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine had two incompatible forces. On one side is the "pro-Russian faction" in the eastern Region of Ukraine, which is dominated by ethnic Russians, while on the other hand, it is the "pro-Western faction" in western Ukraine, which is dominated by Ethnic Ukrainians.
For more than two decades, fierce clashes between the two factions for the future of the country have led to extreme instability in Ukraine.
On November 22, Ukrainian pro-European factions staged anti-government demonstrations in Kiev to protest against demands from the government and the European Union to sign an agreement, Yanukovych to step down, and hold early elections.
On 22 February 2014, Yanukovych was removed from his presidency by parliament. The 2014 Crimean crisis and the Donbass War ensued, and the situation in Ukraine was precarious.
Natalia, who is a Russian ethnic group, was naturally affected by this movement, and she was asked by extreme pro-Western factions to step down and give up the post of chief prosecutor of the General Prosecutor's Office, and some even thoroughly investigated her achievements over the years, suspecting that she had a shady scene of power and money trading.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the person natalia offended in the process of handling the case.
Seeing her own political persecution and the new Ukrainian government allowing lawbreakers to smash and rob ethnic Russian property, these crimes are extremely intolerable to Natalia, who has always adhered to the law.
So she scolded the current Ukrainian government as a "devil born of ashes", submitted her resignation to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and returned to her hometown of Crimea.
At that time, Crimea was already controlled by the Russian army, and the area was dominated by ethnic Russians, so after the outbreak of this crisis, the Crimean region held a referendum for the first time, preparing to break away from Ukraine and join the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.
After returning to her hometown, Natalia was already heartbroken by the current Ukrainian government, so she also joined the ranks of "public entry into Russia".
On March 11, the Crimean parliament adopted the Crimean Declaration of Independence, formally breaking itself from Ukrainian control.
On the same day, Natalia Poklonskaya was appointed Attorney General of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Aksyonov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Prime Minister), has signed the letter of appointment and held an appointment ceremony for Natalia.
World-famous press conference
After Natalia was elected Attorney General of the Republic, the next day Crimea held a press conference to announce it to the world.
At the press conference, in front of journalists from all over the world, Natalia criticized the atrocities committed by the current Ukrainian government since it came to power, accusing them of indiscriminately slaughtering civilians in the Eastern region and brutally suppressing the rebellious Russians.
And she said that although the Political Situation in Ukraine has been in turmoil, Crimea's legal system is still alive and functioning, "everything is fine" and Crimea will not accept any form of illegal activity.
At the same time, Natalia said that her first task as prosecutor general was to adjust her daily work disrupted by ukraine's political turmoil.
Although at this launch, Natalia has been talking about the current situation in Ukraine and her current work tasks. However, when the press conference screen was broadcast live on the Internet, netizens were attracted by her sweet face and completely ignored her words.
Although everyone knows that Eastern Europe is rich in beautiful women, they have never seen people so handsome in military uniforms.
As a result, the press conference was not fermented because of Natalia's words, but because of her outstanding appearance that spread all over the world.
After this conference, Natalia attracted the attention of netizens from various countries, which also attracted the global media to interview her.
In an exclusive interview with a reporter from the China Global Times, natalia just smiled and said that she did not care about her appearance, but hoped that the people would focus on the situation in the Wudong area.
However, in addition to the netizens who pay attention to Natalia's appearance, there are also people who pay attention to her words and strongly refute them. That is the current government of Ukraine.
In response to Natalia's accusations against them, the current Ukrainian government has refute them one by one, claiming that Natalia is a rumor and slander, and they also want to prosecute Natalia for treason, saying that she has a large number of black transactions during Natalia's tenure in Kiev, accusing her of being one of the perpetrators behind the destruction of people's unity.
However, in response to this claim, the Ukrainian government has never come up with conclusive evidence to confirm it.
On March 17, Crimea held a "referendum on joining Russia", and after the final statistics, more than 90% of citizens voted in favor, so the Crimean regional government immediately requested that a new federal subject be added to the Russian Federation.
On March 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a presidential decree to unify Crimea into Russia and then sent a large number of troops to take over the area.
Throughout Crimea's entry into Russia, Natalia's propaganda power was greatly appreciated by Putin, so he awarded her the rank of colonel, and trained her to become one of the important leaders of crimea.
Later, Natalia was awarded the rank of major general by Putin for her excellent leadership skills, and became a "general" at the age of 35.
It seems that Natalia's life after that will surely soar to the sky and become the object of everyone's attention.
However, in recent years, some of Natalia's comments on social platforms have come as a surprise.
Natalia not only highly admired Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Tsarist Russia, but also referred to Lenin and Hitler as murderers, much to the displeasure of many people within Russia.
Many of her "fans" who have been following her in Russia were also shocked by her remarks, accusing her of being a 21st-century "royalist."
The remarks also caused some fluctuations in Natalia's political career.
In protest from the Russian parliament, Putin removed Natalia from her position and sent her to the Atlantic island nation of Cape Verde as ambassador. This also made her words and deeds restrain somewhat.
In February 2022, Natalia was once again promoted to Deputy Director of the Agency for CIS Affairs, Diaspora and International Humanitarian Cooperation.
And when everyone thinks Natalia's political career is over, why is she still making a comeback? The reason for this is also unknown.
Today, the situation in Russia and Ukraine has deteriorated again, and Natalia, as a "famous card" of Russia, still plays a role in her field. Hopefully, in the rest of her political career, she can focus on her work and stop thinking of other things.
