In 1949 she successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis in Russian Academy arts She was awarded the title of Honored Artist Russian Federation.

Maria's childhood

Young Zakharova Maria (the Foreign Ministry would become her job much later) in the early years of her life loved to walk along the picturesque Chinese streets and explore the monasteries and parks of the Celestial Empire together with her parents. At school, the girl studied very diligently, regularly receiving good grades. She paid special attention to studying the Chinese language. Like her many peers, Masha became interested in dolls and making small houses for them. This childhood affection has transformed over the years into a real adult hobby - the implementation of miniature interiors.

Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova dreamed of being involved in the same hectic and serious work that her father had. Most likely, this is why the girl fell in love with a TV show called “International Panorama”, main theme which included a discussion of the main economic and political events taking place abroad.

Education of M. V. Zakharova

After graduating from school, Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova, together with her parents, returned to her homeland in order to enter the Moscow state institute international relations at the Faculty of Journalism. The girl chose Oriental studies as her main specialization. In her last year of university, in 1998, Zakharova went to China for pre-graduation internship at the Russian Embassy.

Five years later, Maria brilliantly defended her dissertation at the RUDN University on the topic of New Year celebrations in China. For this she was awarded the academic degree of Candidate of Historical Sciences.

Carier start

Maria began her active career as an employee of the editorial office of the Russian Foreign Ministry magazine "Diplomatic Bulletin". There she met her boss, Alexander Vladimirovich Yakovenko, who later became the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia. Our heroine’s boss adhered to the same life principles as her grandmother. Yakovenko always believed that only clear interaction between all team members ensures a positive result. Maria’s grandmother also always told her that everything should be done as efficiently as possible, even if no one would be able to check it. Therefore, the girl’s integration into the team was painless.

Promotion

Having proven herself excellent in the editorial office, Maria Zakharova, at the command of the management, was transferred to the Department of Press and Information of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Having quickly understood the new environment for herself, Masha took another step towards career ladder- in 2003, she held the post of head of the operational funds tracking department mass media. A couple of years later, Maria Zakharova, for whom the Foreign Ministry had become her life’s work, was seconded to New York, where she took on the functions of press secretary of the Russian mission to the UN.

Homecoming

In 2008, Maria again finds herself in Belokamennaya within the walls of her native editorial office. But three years later she receives the position of deputy head of the Department of Press and Information. Somewhat later, she heads this structural unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Such a high purpose of a woman is explained not only by her optimal professional qualities, but also enormously popular in the media sphere. Zakharova was often invited to take part in various talk shows, and she also did not miss the opportunity to express her competent opinion in popular in social networks. Her functional responsibilities included ensuring the organization and conduct of briefings official representative Ministries, entries in Internet resources on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the formation of information support for Sergei Lavrov during his trips abroad. There is even a photo showing the minister, Maria Vladimirovna, the former US Secretary of State and Jennifer Psaki.

In 2014, Zakharova received the “Runet Prize” as the head of the Department that won the nomination “Culture, mass communications and the media."

Maria was also a member of the organizing committee involved in the preparation of the Eurasian Women’s Forum, which was held in St. Petersburg on September 24-25, 2015.

At the end of December 2015, the ministerial employee was awarded the title of Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Second Class, which is a high-level diplomatic rank.

Maria Zakharova (the biography of this woman is interesting to many) is a member of the Russian Foreign and Defense Policy Council. Excellent knowledge of English and Chinese.

State award

At the beginning of 2017, Maria Zakharova was awarded in the Kremlin. At a ceremony, Vladimir Putin presented the civil servant with such an honorary badge in the presence of three dozen public and other figures. The President, in his congratulatory speech, pointed out that all those awarded are actively working with maximum dedication, always achieving the goals set for them. And before that, in 2013, Maria received a Certificate of Honor from Putin.

Also, Maria Zakharova, whose biography may well be an example for the younger generation, was included in the ranking of the most influential women planet in 2016, according to the authoritative television and radio company BBC. In addition, in February 2017, the civil servant received a letter of trust from the Russian journalistic community.

In 2016, it took second place in terms of citations in the Russian blogosphere.

Dissatisfied statements

Like many other public figures, Maria Zakharova (her biography is not burdened with damaging facts) has both fans and critics. Many Western media They have a very negative attitude towards Zakharova’s emotional and rather straightforward statements. In particular, the editor of Radio Liberty, Yaroslav Shimov, noted that journalistic style Maria, within the framework of which she maintains her blog on the Echo of Moscow website, is far from patriotic, but extremely aggressive.

In turn, journalists Olga Ivshina and Jenny Norton even stated that against the background of already too strained relations between Russia and the West, Zakharova’s rhetoric looks too undiplomatic.

Abroad, Maria Zakharova, whose career is very important, is very often referred to as “a sexy, smart and terrible miracle weapon of Putin’s propaganda.” In Russia, she is considered a more perfect “analog of Jen Psaki.”

Family status

Maria Zakharova, whose husband tries to help her in everything, is happily married. Her husband's name is Andrei Mikhailovich Makarov, he is an entrepreneur. The wedding took place on November 7, 2005 in New York, since at that moment Maria was working in the United States of America. Many years later wedding photos Zakharova caused a noticeable resonance in society. In 2010, the daughter of Maria Zakharova was born, who was named Maryana.

About the profession

In one of her many interviews, Maria Vladimirovna said that she arrives at work at nine in the morning, but the duration working day varies, but very often you have to fulfill your professional duties until late at night. Sometimes Zakharova even had to take her little daughter with her to work, who simply had no one to leave at home with.

In those very rare moments when she has a long-awaited vacation, Maria Zakharova (her husband is not such a public figure) loves to write poems, which she is not ashamed to post on various popular social networks. By the way, it was Zakharova who wrote the lyrics of the song “Bring Back the Memory,” dedicated to the fallen Russian soldiers in Syria.

Also, Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova says that she independently updates her wardrobe, buying things with her own money, including for serious international diplomatic meetings. In addition, the civil servant notes that she has never had any stylists.

“Mogendovid” by Mariam Zakharova
or Attention is above all!

“Zakharova’s parents are diplomats.”

I immediately remembered Vladimir Volfovich with his unforgettable: “Mom is Russian, father is a lawyer.”
And here at once both are diplomats.
Judging by the comments to the article, the formation of a nation of dear Russians is progressing successfully.”

Start here:

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁΛόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁΛόγος

Today I was sent a screenshot of a comment by a certain “Mikhail Chernovol” posted on the website of the newspaper “Zavtra”. Usually I don’t comment on this and don’t pay attention at all. But for a number of reasons, I will make an exception for these words: “... on this Masha’s chest on a gold chain there was not a symbol of Christianity, but “Mogendovid” - a six-pointed star, the Star of David.”

I remember in the second grade I brought a new word from school - “Jew.” Mom asked if I understood the meaning. I answered that I didn’t understand, and that’s what the guys said, but I remember that it sounded reminiscent of the word “livery.” Mom sat me, a seven-year-old child, on her lap and said: “This is such a nationality. The French are also a nationality, as are the Chinese and the Ukrainians. Here we are - Russians. They live in peace different people, and there are a lot of nationalities. They have different languages, different dances, different fairy tales. They can live in different countries or in one country." Everything was clear, and I was about to get off my knees. "But I want to tell you one very important thing. Unfortunately, you will still hear a lot of bad things about different nationalities. There are people who will say that one nationality is good and the other is bad. One people is better or worse than another. It is not true. Every nation has good and bad. Remember this. And no matter what you hear, know that there are no bad or good nationalities, there are bad or good people", said mom. Then she thought and added: “Since you learned this new word for you today, I want you to understand its meaning.” “I understand, mom, you explained it,” I hurried about my business. But mom said: “No, not completely. You're russian. Both dad and I are Russian, and your grandfather is half Ukrainian. We speak and think in Russian and live like Russians. But you were born thanks to a doctor who was Jewish. And if it weren’t for him, it’s unknown how everything would have turned out for us, the Russians. Remember this forever. And never allow people of other nationalities to be humiliated in front of you.” And I remembered. Probably because they were very simple words, a very clear example. Or simply because my mother is like that. I remembered them forever.

When I was 20 years old, I ended up in Israel - it was a one-day excursion on a boat during a week-long vacation in Cyprus, where my mother and I were taken by her brother. These few hours in Jerusalem and Bethlehem changed my life. Fully. Religion appeared in it. Not faith. It was there before, in the form of an intuitive feeling, premonition and even understanding. But it was all somehow... pagan, or something. And it burned there. This charge is still enough. All memories are fresh and even tangible. While still in Bethlehem, I said that I would undergo all the rituals in Moscow. And my uncle, who helped us a lot financially at that time, bought me the same gold chain that I always wear in one of the local jewelry stores. Returning to Moscow, I was baptized. Since then I have been Orthodox, in the sense that I try to be so. On back side my little cross, which was bought in an Arab shop and which is always with me, says “Jerusalem”.

Our religion prohibits hatred. She punishes her for it. But I have something in me that in English is called objective hate, and in Russian, forgetting about pathos, it can probably be expressed as the famous “noble rage.” I hate all types of nationalism (from racial discrimination to religious intolerance), I hate it when they humiliate or bully, no matter who. And I also hate stupidity and stupid malice, which are capable of seeing the Star of David not only in a flower or a snowflake, but even in the formula of benzene.

When I was thinking about who to ask to be my daughter's godparents, I had two cherished desires. First. So that these people are kind and love to laugh. Second. So that they, if possible, represent different nationalities or lived in different countries. So that my child from the very early childhood, as with my milk, I absorbed the richness and diversity of this world and smiled. So that borders, skin color, cultural differences would never be barriers for her. Consider this my personal contribution to the fight against nationalism.

I'm lucky. Our godfather is Georgian. Sparkling and cheerful, and very kind, despite the fact that, due to the national issue, he will most likely never see his family’s beloved Sukhumi and Sukhum again. Our godmother, I don’t even know who her nationality is (judging by her bright beauty, it’s a mixture of everything), lives in New York, and when we all get together, Maryana enthusiastically plays with her son, born in a marriage with a fiery Brazilian. And our nanny, who put her soul into Maryana, is Armenian. Cool mix. “Mikhail Chernovol” would have been torn apart;)) ( ttps://www.facebook.com/)

Typical reaction of the Russian Runet:

“Here, I think, it would also be very helpful for Masha to get acquainted not only with the nationality of the doctor’s mother, but also with the nationality of her parents’ grandparents, both mother and father, and other relatives. And I am sure that she would have been filled with even greater gratitude to the Jews for being born into this world, and you and I would have been much more clear about her Israeli religious insights, the flared up feelings and the fire that burned her soul since that young 20-year-old Ti years of age.

Masha’s extremist definition of nationalism becomes more understandable, as the eternal cosmopolitan feeling of a pathological liberal, in relation to its moral antipode, national feeling, as a feeling of belonging to one’s people and its culture and pride in everything good that this people has, pride in its history and his accomplishments. But judging by Masha’s statements, such feelings towards Russia and the Russian people are alien to her, she did not say a single word about her country of residence. Added to the cosmopolitan liberal spirit are her extremely negative reviews of Stalin and her habitual lie, repeated like a parrot, about the “multi-million victims of the Stalinist regime.” Here, as in other liberal mantras, liberals themselves resemble answering machines.”

O. Maxim Kozlov: The Star of David is now -
it is an anti-Christian symbol of Judaism

An Orthodox priest believes that Christians should not wear a six-pointed star...

“The Star of David is currently used as a symbol of Judaism, the Jewish religion, and is largely used in non-Christian or anti-Christian contexts.”“, said Archpriest Maxim Kozlov, rector of the home church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, answering a question from a reader of the online newspaper “Tatyana’s Day” about “does the six-pointed star have anything to do with Orthodox symbols, and why?” it is called the Star of David.”

The priest emphasized that the six-pointed star in itself is not a special symbol of Judaism, but the meaning that it has acquired for itself now is forces the Orthodox to abstain from its use.
