Russian Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov covered the watch of the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov at a party in honor of the birthday of his wife, Svetlana Ivanova (Maniovich) in 2021. The photos appeared in a new investigation by Alexei Navalny's team on the YouTube channel.
Maria Pevchikh and Georgy Alburov in the video talk about Deputy Shoigu Ivanov and his wife. Peskov also appears in the investigation, who, according to investigators, does not miss a single birthday of the Ivanov family.
At the birthday party in 2021, the press secretary made a toast and congratulated Ivanova. At the same time, a watch for 6 million rubles was visible on his hand – this is half of Peskov's income for the year. The second frame shows how the Deputy Minister of Defense covers up an expensive accessory, pulling Peskov's cardigan over his watch.
It is noted that in 2018, the wife of the Deputy Minister of Defense celebrated her birthday in Istanbul – the holiday cost 178 thousand euros (12 million rubles). During the war in Ukraine, the wife of Deputy Shoigu continues to fly to Europe for shopping, use yachts, helicopters and Rolls-Royces, buy diamonds and hold parties worth tens of millions of rubles, including in European countries.
Peskov has previously been seen with accessories that cost many times his monthly income. So, in 2015, in wedding photos with Tatyana Navka, a Richard Mille watch worth 37 million rubles was noticed on his arm. Peskov's official income then amounted to 9 million rubles a year.
