"It sounds like a joke". Navka made a confession about Peskov and was hounded for hypocrisy

Olympic ice dancing champion Tatiana Navka has provoked a strong reaction from Russian fans with her frank admission that her husband, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, does not help her secure government grants. Fans ridiculed the interview with the 48-year-old ex-figure skater.

The journalist, speaking to Navka, voiced the widespread opinion in Russian society that it is easy for Peskov's wife to receive various grants.

"I am not surprised by this question. Many people think that I became an Olympic champion thanks to Dmitry Sergeevich, haha. Seriously, I never ask him about such things. I'm a self-sufficient person and I implement my projects on my own," the Hello! magazine quoted Navka as saying.

In the comments, fans could not contain their emotions at the hypocrisy of their compatriot.

"It's amazing, Peskov's daughter and son have also achieved everything on their own) just a talented family", "Your hypocrisy makes me sick", Russians are not holding back.

Users joke that all the children of officials in the country are born geniuses.

"Yes, yes, yes. Matvienko's son also became an oligarch secretly from his mother, just like other wurdenkinds - the children of officials!" they write in the comments.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Navka was known for her cynical remarks about the war in Ukraine after she did not receive a grant of 59 million rubles to hold her own show in Luhansk.
