Many people in modern society are beginning to take an active interest in the political life of our country and the world as a whole. Valeria Novodvorskaya is of no small importance in this area.

For many years now, many minds have been concerned with a question that we will try to understand. So: Novodvorskaya - who is she and what is this woman like?

The youth of our heroine

Valeria Novodvorskaya is a political figure, an ardent human rights activist who holds liberal views. She was born on May 17, 1950 in Belarus, in Baranovichi. The blood of a rebel flows in the genes of this woman from birth, since there were many revolutionaries in her family. Novodvorskaya’s biography is fraught with many questions and mysteries, which Valeria Ilyinichna herself created in order to compare herself with American female revolutionaries in the future. Although everyone knows that in the Novodvorsky family both great-grandfather and grandfather were revolutionary-minded citizens, Valeria believes that she grew up in a family of intellectuals, and the past in no way influenced her views on life.

Her father was a scientist, and her mother worked as a doctor, that is, they held government positions. At the age of 17, Valeria Novodvorskaya (you can see the photo in her youth on the left) entered the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages ​​to study French and immediately began to speak out against the Soviet regime and the USSR as a whole.

In her youth, Novodvorskaya led a very active political life, for which she was punished more than once. Because of her actions, she was arrested in 1969 and was forced to undergo treatment in psychiatric clinics. Russian doctors diagnosed her with paranoia and schizophrenia. But she, naturally, did not stop there. In the seventies of the last century, she made an attempt to organize an underground party to fight the communist regime that existed at that time.

Valeria Novodvorskaya's first experience in politics

At the age of 27, she still manages to get an education at the evening faculty at the regional pedagogical university in Moscow. Having a good command of foreign languages, Valeria Ilyinichna Novodvorskaya worked for fifteen years as a translator, translating specialized literature at a medical institute. During this time, she was charged three times with anti-Soviet propaganda and her indefatigable activity in this direction. During her long work at the MOLGMI library, Novodvorskaya often demonstrated her attitude towards power. She constantly wrote various leaflets with propaganda slogans, made her way to the microphone and screamed with foam at the mouth about the wrong policies of the Soviet authorities. For these actions, Valeria Ilyinichna was immediately fired on numerous counts, and was also arrested.

Creation of a political party

But despite various obstacles and setbacks along the way, Valeria helps create a political party called the “Democratic Union”, many times holds various rallies that were not even authorized, and for this she was detained more than once by the authorities. Accusations were also brought against Novodvorskaya for publicly insulting Mikhail Gorbachev, the President of the USSR. After the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, she tried many times to run for the State Duma, but these attempts were unsuccessful. She actively participated in the creation of the Democratic Union of Russia party and was one of the first supporters of the new President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. In 1994, endless checks of her activities began, since in her articles published in various newspapers, she openly promoted the outbreak of the civil war and tried to incite

And now an interesting perspective: who is Novodvorskaya from the point of view of the prosecutor’s office, which has brought criminal cases against this woman many times? This woman is truly lucky in life, since after the initiation of such cases they were closed very quickly, because no crime was found in her actions.

Political views of Valeria Ilyinichna

Novodvorskaya, whose biography contains many contradictions and inconsistencies, considers herself a convinced liberal and supports Western views on life. She is an absolute opponent of communism; in her youth she was even called a “young anti-Soviet.” Valeria Novodvorskaya has a very negative attitude towards both the modern government in the Russian Federation and the Soviet authorities, and calls our country a stopcock that slows down the rest of the world and everything good in it. Giving interviews to other publications, Valeria denies her attitude towards liberalism and democracy. At one time she supported Estonia and Latvia in bills that discriminated against the Russian-speaking population of these countries.

Also, an important role in Novodvorskaya’s political statements is played by the phrase that human rights, which are supposedly inherent to each of us, are in fact not due to everyone, but only to “decent people.” And she puts her own meaning into the concept of “democracy”, that is, she does not consider democracy to be the power of many people in the country, but is confident that power should be held by a small group of people who hold liberal views.

One gets the impression that this seemingly woman by nature has absolutely no sense of pity and compassion. Regarding the nuclear explosions in 1945 on the territory of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Novodvorskaya said that she was happy for Japan. Because as a result, this country has realized itself politically, that currently the main seven countries of the world meet in the capital, and has its own parliament of liberals. She admires America as the greatest power and argues that Japan should be grateful to the American planes that destroyed these two cities. This is due to the fact that American troops in this way tried to stop the destruction of Japan as a country, because it was sliding into the abyss of the Middle Ages, and in the end it turned out to be one of the leading powers in the world with an excellent economy and a high level of civilization.

Valeria Novodvorskaya and liberalism

And who is Novodvorskaya in relation to liberals? In some sources she claims that she is their ardent supporter, while in others, on the contrary, she renounces. At the beginning of 2009, Valeria Ilyinichna proposed her own plan for the development of liberalism in Russia.

The main point was to start not caring about your people and their common opinion, in order to supposedly do something in the future just for these same people. Secondly, there should be 100% learning from Western countries and imitation of their lives. Moreover, the scale of such training should extend over centuries. Novodvorskaya believes that apart from the right to freedom and human rights, the people do not need to give anything else. People must earn everything else, and not ask the state. Thirdly, changes also affected democracy. Democracy, through the eyes of Valeria, implies the power of an enlightened group of people who firmly believe in liberalism.

About Russia

Who is Novodvorskaya for Russia? An eternal thorn that prevents you from living in peace? Valeria has a very negative attitude towards Russia and the Russian government. In her statements one can feel contempt and bitterness, which is not even inherent in a normal person.

Expressing her thoughts that all people of the Russian nation should be in prison (and not just in prison, but in a “bowl”), she is not afraid of anything or anyone. She considers Russia a cancer of the Earth, and Russian-speaking people as metastases spreading throughout the world and corrupting other countries. This is what Novodvorskaya thinks about Russia - the country in which she lives.

However, there are a number of statements about her belonging to the Russians. She, oddly enough, considers herself a true Russian, one of the five percent who never give up. These are people who carry Scandinavian traditions within themselves and in their memory. She considers the rest, living on the territory of the Russian Federation, to be creatures, simple creatures worse than ciliates. She compares the Russian population with dinosaurs, pterodactyls and crocodiles in her statements, where Novodvorskaya does not skimp on expressions and demonstrations of her attitude towards Russians. In addition, she simply longs for a war between Russia and America and dreams that the latter would attack Russia and put the Russians in the place they deserve, like worms. One of whose biography has many dark spots, hates the Russian people and everything connected with them, it indicates the past of our country. And he cites as an example the events that took place in the First World War, when officers of the White Army were deliberately drowned at sea. After World War II, the NKVD massacred the entire Soviet intelligentsia, and the Jews they adored were sent into exile to the North. All these actions instilled in the soul an inexhaustible hatred of the Soviet regime. However, she admires other countries, turning a blind eye to their wars and attacks, and even supports them in her speeches.

Novodvorskaya about other states

An ambitious and shocking politician supports everything that could poison the lives of Russian citizens and wipe the Russian Federation off the face of the Earth. She confidently defended and supported Chechen terrorists and separatists who carried out entire raids to capture the Russian population. When the threat of war with Georgia loomed in August 2008, Novodvorskaya admired Saakashvili with hysterical fanaticism. Russia currently has a rocky relationship with Ukraine, and Novodvorskaya is furiously urging the Ukrainian government to stand up to occupying Russia. If she had such an opportunity and strength, then Valeria Ilyinichna, according to her, would have long ago joined the ranks of the Ukrainian army next to the militias.

Novodvorskaya about nationality and religion of a person

There is no exact information about the nationality of Valeria Ilyinichna Novodvorskaya anywhere. She does not particularly advertise her affiliation with one religion or another. Valeria claims that she is Russian, although she was born in Belarus. She positions herself as a true Christian. Having read the Gospel in the sixties, Valeria understood her destiny, and accepted the Christian faith only in the nineties of the last century. From other sources one can see how she idolizes Jews and does not hide the fact that her last name is a pseudonym. Presumably, her father was a Jew and deliberately changed his last name and forged documents so that he could easily enter America, New York, using a Jewish immigration card. However, this woman has no desire to move to Israel. She claims that the holy law on the return of Jews to their native land does not apply to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and therefore does not apply to her either. In the nineties, Valeria Ilyinichna accepted Georgian citizenship and actively supported the Georgian government. Speaking about a person’s nationality, Novodvorskaya does not consider one individual as a representative of the nation. Nationality must be looked at in concentration, and one person, torn from society, cannot give an accurate idea of ​​​​the identity of his people. Without hiding this, Valeria Ilyinichna admires only the United States of America, the only drawback in whose policy she sees is the provision of assistance to the unemployed and handicapped in larger amounts than it should be.

Personal life of Novodvorskaya

Over the years of her political activity, Valeria Ilyinichna was able to turn all of Russia against herself; one might say that the entire nation hates her. But she takes this very calmly and, when participating in any political debate, is absolutely indifferent, since she does not care about the opinions of others. According to many psychologists, the main reason for her such aggression is dissatisfaction in her personal life. Novodvorskaya, whose personal life has no secrets, because there simply is none, claims that throughout her entire life she has never been in bed with a man, that is, she remains a virgin at 64 years old. Valeria is trying to prove to everyone that she is absolutely indifferent to worldly joys, normal human relationships and the sex life common to society. Absolutely calmly and judiciously accusing Russian politics and the Russian government, she imparts undisguised irony and malice to her speech. According to many people around her, Novodvorskaya’s personal life consists of provoking others not to love themselves, that is, deliberately turning others against them. She gets great true pleasure from this and is completely satisfied with her life.

However, there is still one person who showed sympathy for this unapproachable, frankly speaking, not a beauty - this is her comrade, friend in political affairs, Borovaya’s assistant Konstantin Natanovich (on the left in the photo - Novodvorskaya and Borovoy). But there was no intimate connection between them. Borovoy has a wife, two daughters and three grandchildren, and Novodvorskaya, according to her, would never allow herself to destroy their family happiness. Therefore, no one dares to challenge the authenticity of the words about the virgin purity of Novodvorskaya. Moreover, again, according to Valeria herself, having sex is a rather boring activity, but who knows the whole truth? In her interviews, Valeria Ilyinichna curses the KGB and claims that it was the Soviet authorities who deprived her of the opportunity to get married, give birth to a bunch of children and be a happy mother and wife. Novodvorskaya’s husband was never found after all these years. As Valeria says, not a single man has ever liked her in her life, and that she is even glad of this, since she could not get along with anyone.
