In 2010, this academy, which is one of the oldest educational institutions in Moscow, became a university. Natalya graduated from the Financial Academy with the highest honors, receiving a red diploma. The first place of work for the 20-year-old graduate was the tax police department.
Natalya Popova received her second education at Moscow State University, at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Regional Studies.

Commenting on her appointment to the position of public ombudsman for the protection of the rights of technology entrepreneurs, Popova noted that she would choose the main areas of her activity in this post taking into account the results of a survey of “national champions” - companies that are leaders in terms of growth and development in the country.
The star of “Not a Step Back!” Valentina Popova: “I dreamed of an unusual role in a war film since childhood”
The lead actress in the series “Not a Step Back!”, actress Valentina Popova, told how the filming went, what she has in common with Toshka and what challenges await her character in the new season.
“They tried to kill Toshka so many times, but she always survives.” How does she do this?
Probably my heroine is protected by a Guardian Angel. She survives every time because she is not afraid of death. Including your own.
— A young 16-year-old girl is not afraid to die?
When it comes to loved ones, you stop being afraid of anything. It’s the same in my life: when I needed to stand up for myself, I was a coward and caved in, but when I needed to stand up for someone close to me, I was desperately eager and I didn’t care about any circumstances or outcomes.
– So, we can say that your heroine is similar to you?
Certainly! If you remember, Toshka lost all her relatives at the beginning of the first season. I also had to lose my mother when I was 14 years old. I didn’t have a father, the three of us lived with her and my brother. After her death from a long illness, I had to somehow cope with everything on my own.
TV presenter work
In Russia, many people know Popova not as a top manager of a large non-state corporation, but as a talented TV presenter who is sincerely passionate about science. On television, as well as at her main place of work, Natalya is engaged in the popularization and development of Russian science. On the Russia 24 channel she hosts the Science program, dedicated to the latest achievements of domestic scientists. Natalya often invites leading experts to the studio to talk about unique developments.
On Popova’s initiative, a series of documentary programs “House of Scientists” was filmed, aired on the “Culture” TV channel. Each of the programs included in it was dedicated to an outstanding figure in Russian science.
Natalya also talks about talented scientists on the Science 2.0 channel in the program “New People”. This program is dedicated to young specialists, who can rightfully be called the future of national science.
Objectify it: Ekaterina Popova about sex and sexuality
An old woman once told me a story about how, long ago in the morning, she stood in the doorway in front of her husband and said: “You are not going to work. You need to go to the hospital." And they went to the city one, and from there almost immediately to the regional one. He was very ill, and the doctors said that if they had waited even a day, it might have been too late. And then there were two years of treatment and unpleasant procedures, and she was there, consoled, persuaded and reassured. This is a story without a happy ending - the disease was fatal. But the two years of life that she gave him seem like a worthless little thing only when you are healthy and young.
When I read how men write: “You are slim, with breasts of the third size, athletic, but not pumped up, without cellulite, with long blond hair, relaxed and without complexes,” I think that they consider themselves immortal and invulnerable, like Marvel's Wolverine. Immortals are not looking for a reliable companion, they choose a coffee maker - but only one that brews not coffee, but high-quality sex - oral, anal, Thai, with massage, jet orgasm from one male gaze and other stomps and slams.
Objectification, says Wikipedia, is seeing or treating another person solely as a tool (object) for one's own sexual gratification.
The key words are “exclusively” and “tool”. One of my friends made a very apt comparison: a date with a cannibal. You go to the cinema with him, and he thinks what to make of you. You talk about your favorite books, and he wonders what sauce would go with your thigh steak. You ask about what he does, and he talks indistinctly and confusingly, constantly getting confused, because he is trying to decide whether to eat you completely or whether a couple of the most appetizing pieces will be enough. It doesn’t matter what his future dinner lives on, it doesn’t matter what will happen to him after - the only interesting thing is whether he will be able to eat it and how tasty it will be.

Ekaterina Volgina: “Some episodes of Black Mirror no longer seem so fantastic”
Cannibalistic metaphors aside, objectification is a phenomenon that causes significant harm to society in general and women in particular. The consequences of objectification are visible and measurable: for example, five years ago, the journal Psychological Science published the results of a study “Integrating Sexual Objectification With Object Versus Person Recognition: The Sexualized-Body-Inversion Hypothesis”, which stated that the continuous stream of sexualized images of female parts bodies on posters, billboards, banners led to the dehumanization of women - photos of naked girls in the literal sense of the word began to be perceived by people’s brains as images of objects. Items whose purpose is to provide men with sex.
Objects have no will, no desires, no rights. The coffee maker is not asked if she wants to make coffee; the washing machine is not asked what it wants to spin today - colored clothes or white linen. Turning a person into a thing is the basis of a culture of violence. A woman, reduced to the level of a tool, is no longer interested in whether she wants sex, and if so, what kind. One of my friends on Facebook wrote a post about what men do when they are rejected - the comments that immediately poured in from other women made my hair stand on end. For example, one of the girls told how she was almost pushed off the platform in front of a subway train when she did not want to get acquainted. Another - that they slapped her in the face, a third - that they tried to strangle her, a fourth - that they tried to hit her with a car.
Objectification affects every aspect of women's lives. We come to boxing, but the coach teaches us carelessly, because he is sure that the girl came here looking for a man. We study at universities, but teachers do not hesitate to say that “the brain of a graduate student, sharpened for marriage, is not able to understand post-positivism.” Psychologists teach us: if you want to make a career, try to make others forget that you are a woman - speak in a low voice, wear appropriate clothes, disguise your femininity.
Having become accustomed to being evaluated, we begin to do it ourselves. Our worst nightmare is the loss of sexual attractiveness, because it is the measure of our worth and success. We are ashamed when we are unable to look like a standard coffee maker. We take it for granted when we are told that we first need to be interested in our appearance - and only then are men ready to consider our “rich inner world.” And the words about the inner world sound more like a mockery, when it is read between the lines that it’s just not interesting to anyone.
When feminists say that objectification should be stopped because it is a breeding ground for discrimination, grist for the mill of rape culture, it is not men who protest most vehemently, but women. It’s not surprising - now not being an object suitable for “inflating” means becoming invisible to men in general, which means losing hope for a family and a loved one nearby.
But refusing objectification is not refusing sex or sexuality. Imagine that you are a man. And now, when you are not objectified, this does not mean that you are not wanted at all. It’s just that sex is now not the first, not the main and not the only thing that is needed from you, and appearance no longer matters. Now it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, whether your skin is perfect, whether your waist is thin enough, whether you know how to give a blowjob and whether you agree to anal sex. Something else is important - kindness, a sense of humor, common values and views on the world, the same hobbies, joint creativity and unifying goals, be it travel, sports records, co-authorship of fan fiction or family. Finally, what is important is that you are the very person who will stand at the door in the morning to save.
As for sex, it will not become less, and you will not become less sexy. Most likely even more. For example, I find the ability to write poetry and love for animals inexpressibly attractive in men. And, you know, my choice only became greater from this.
