Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev is one of the most popular Russian politicians. But to the citizens of our country the former president was not remembered at all by achievements in his career, but by funny situations in which he finds himself with enviable regularity. Over the past few years, general attention has been focused on the biography of the chairman of United Russia. Thus, for example, his true origins were revealed, of which there is not a word in official sources.
The real name of Dmitry Medvedev
The reason for the increased attention to the origin of Dmitry Anatolyevich was the VIII All-Russian Genealogical Exhibition, which was held in Nizhny Novgorod. Previously, as part of the event, the genealogies of Lenin, Stalin, Yeltsin and Putin were presented. In 2009, the organizers promised to publish the genealogical tree of Medvedev, who at that time held the post of President of the Russian Federation.
But the promised sensation was not. For unknown reasons, the researcher of the pedigree of the head of state refused to present the results of his works to the general public. This intrigue did not bother many journalists and individual opponents of Dmitry Anatolyevich. The main version was the Jewish origin of the current prime minister. Informal sources claim that Dmitry Medvedev is actually David Mendel.
Journalists also disclosed the allegedly real names of his parents: Aaron Abramovich Mendel and Cecilia Veniaminovna. How reliable is the information is practically impossible. Archival documents related to high-ranking officials are classified and will not be published in the near future.
It is curious, but Jewish origin is attributed to many politicians. For example, Boris Yeltsin, whose wife was Naina Iosifovna - a purebred representative of this nationality. The same rumors go about Nikita Khrushchev (he was credited with the surname Perlmuter), Viktor Chernomyrdin (hiding the name of Schleier), Yuri Luzhkov (took the surname of his first wife instead of Katz), and Vladimir Putin was generally recorded as a member of the Masonic lodge.
