Timofeeva worked as a school teacher for 24 years and was the chairman of the public organization “Ravelin”. On September 14, she was elected to the Legislative Assembly on the United Russia list, in which she was number eight. Let us recall that earlier Governor Sergei Menyailo appointed United Russia deputy Andrei Sobolev as the representative of the executive power of Sevastopol in the Federation Council. Bard and director of Sevastopolskaya Gazeta will work on the Committee on Education, Science and Culture of the Northern Fleet. “And I will choose social policy and healthcare,” Olga Timofeeva said yesterday.
Director of the Institute of CIS Countries Konstantin Zatulin told Kommersant that Olga Timofeeva is an “exalted woman” who is “entirely devoted” to Alexey Chaly. “If Alexey Chaly believes that you can appear in the St. George’s Hall in a sweater, then his ally Olga Timofeeva believes that you can bring a banner with area slogans there. On March 18, she unfurled a banner in the Kremlin,” recalled Mr. Zatulin. In his opinion, Mrs. Timofeeva in the Federation Council will “balance Andrei Sobolev, who is close to Sergei Menyailo.”
