Childhood and youth
Ilya Dmitrievich Medvedev was born on August 3, 1995 in St. Petersburg. At that time, his father, Dmitry Medvedev, worked as a teacher at St. Petersburg State University and was the director of the Ilim Pulp Enterprise corporation for legal issues.
In addition, Medvedev was an adviser to Anatoly Sobchak, and also periodically worked with Vladimir Putin.
Ilya's mother, Svetlana Linnik, was an accountant. After her son was born, she quit her job to pay more attention to him. Soon the Medvedev family moved to Moscow, where the boy began to study at an elite gymnasium.
Mother did everything possible to develop Ilya’s abilities as best as possible. From an early age he attended the football section and also studied fencing. In addition, the child studied foreign languages and had good abilities in the exact sciences.

After some time, Ilya Medvedev began to master computer technology, which was gaining popularity every year not only in Russia, but throughout the world. In 2007, a 12-year-old boy starred in the humorous film magazine “Yeralash”.
Ilya Medvedev took part in the filming of such videos as “Hero” and “Take Me Down.” An interesting fact is that only the directors of the film magazine knew who the teenager’s father was.

Also, the head of the family served in the Committee for External Relations in the city administration, holding the position of a civilian expert. In addition, he owned a significant stake in Finzell CJSC, a wood processing plant, and through his work he often crossed paths with Anatoly Sobchak and Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, the guy’s mother, Svetlana Linnik, managed to get an education as an economist and worked as an accountant before the birth of her child. The appearance of the first child radically changed the mother's future existence. She completely devoted herself to the upbringing and development of the baby. After numerous disputes, the family decides to move to the capital of Russia in 1999, where at the age of 7 the young man enters an elite gymnasium. The parents tried to diversify their son’s childhood, so they first signed him up for football, and then sent him to the fencing section. Medvedev Jr. was also interested in studying foreign languages and exact science.
After a while, Ilya became interested in Japanese animation and alternative rock. He often visited football stadiums to play ball with friends. He practically never saw his father. Only on New Year's holidays was he able to talk to his parent and share his experiences. On May 9, he could only talk to him via video call using the Skype computer application.
The love for anime became the reason for his acquaintance with the Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso, who gave the boy a blue robotic cat Doraemon, which could be controlled using a radio remote control. Among musical groups, he preferred The Beatles, Linkin Park, “Time Machine” and even “Spleen”.
Hobbies and achievements
Ilya Medvedev is a very versatile personality. He likes to play football, swim in the pool, learn new computer technologies, practice fencing and even learn magic tricks.

Young Yulia came to St. Petersburg after graduating from Voronezh University to enroll in graduate school, and it was in this city that the parents of the third president of Russia met. Dmitry Medvedev's father worked as a teacher until he was 70 years old and was completely passionate about science. Already in the 2000s, the parents moved to live closer to their son in Moscow. Dmitry Medvedev's family is now not complete; Dmitry Anatolyevich's father died of a heart attack in 2004. Mother, Yulia Veniaminovna, whose real name is Tsilya, remained to live in the capital.

Personal life

Nevertheless, journalists were able to repeatedly take photographs in which the son of the prime minister, accompanied by security, was walking with the girl.
According to Ilya, he has an account on Vkontakte, where he periodically posts photos and communicates with friends. However, he prefers not to attract too much attention to himself, as he considers it unnecessary.
Briefly about the biography of Ilya Medvedev
There is indeed very little information about the children of the top officials of the state since this is related to their safety, but this gives rise to a lot of gossip and speculation.
It can be reliably said that Dmitry Anatolyevich’s wife completely devoted herself to raising her son, choosing the role of a housewife. The boy was brought up strictly and his parents followed his hobbies and were seriously involved in his development.
Foreign media, chokingly, said that the prime minister’s son speaks English and Italian, as if knowledge of several languages in our time can surprise someone. They forgot to mention that Ilya also knows French, although his father admitted that the humanities were always difficult for the heir.
Medvedev Ilya Dmitrievich
Son of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev.
Ilya Medvedev was born on August 3, 1995 in St. Petersburg. The boy appeared in the family of Dmitry Anatolyevich and Svetlana Vladimirovna Medvedev. The child’s father at that time taught legal disciplines at the institute and served in the Committee on External Relations of the city administration as a freelance expert. Dad also collaborated with the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak and knew Vladimir Putin.
After Ilya appeared, mother devoted herself to raising her son. In 1999, the family moved to Moscow. At the age of seven, the boy went to a prestigious Moscow gymnasium. Svetlana took care of her son’s diversified development: from an early age she enrolled him in the football section, after which he became interested in fencing. Medvedev Jr. loved foreign languages, as well as exact sciences. Later, Ilya began to master computer technology.
In 2007, at the age of twelve, he starred in an issue of the humorous magazine “Yeralash”, which was called “Hero”. The video told the story of a boy who, impressed by an action movie he saw in a movie theater, rushed to save a girl on the street from the hands of bandits. In fact, it turned out that the “hero” ruined the take that the film crew was doing.
The second issue of the humorous magazine with the participation of Ilya Medvedev, entitled “Take Me Down,” was published a year later. The plot of the new video was the story of a boy who wanted to act in a movie and annoyed the film director by appearing on the set at the wrong time.
Only the directors of the filming process knew that the father of the main character was the Prime Minister and then the President of the Russian Federation. The director of the first episode, Alexey Shcheglov, spoke positively about Ilya’s abilities, calling him a cheerful and lively boy. At the casting, the child made the chief director Boris Grachevsky laugh.
When the age came to choose a profession, Ilya made a choice in favor of a legal education, which he went to receive at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. Upon admission, the amount of points scored was 9/10 of the maximum amount of 400 points. Attended lectures on a general basis. At the university he continued to study foreign languages: English, French and Italian.
At the beginning of the summer of 2020, Ilya Medvedev passed the final exams of the fourth year of the Faculty of International Law for a bachelor's degree.

Students of the faculty are required to master information on international law, financial and labor law of Russia and abroad, civil procedure in Russia, civil and trade law of foreign countries. According to the academic rating of the educational institution, Ilya Medvedev was among the 30 best students of MGIMO.
