"Russia is a country that fears nothing": Kirill Dmitriev's wife on her husband's T-shirts featuring the President's quotes
Natalia Popova, wife of Kirill Dmitriev,Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, shared that her husband carefully selects clothing featuring Vladimir Putin's quotes for negotiations and important meetings. The well-known TV presenter also admitted that she enjoys wearing items from her husband's wardrobe.
"I later take them from him; I say, let me wear them. There are many such T-shirts; one of them has a quote: 'Russia is a country that fears nothing.' Also, the hoodies with 'Oreshnik' are magnificent. But they are only for special events," Natalia Popova shared.
One such piece of clothing — a jacket with the inscription "Russia is not a kind of country that fears anything!" — was worn by Kirill Dmitriev at a December meeting with Special Envoy of the President of the United States of America Steve Witkoff. This phrase is a quote from Russian President Vladimir Putin at the "One Belt, One Road" forum in China in 2017. Today it has become one of the most recognisable and widely circulated phrases, actively used in modern-day patriotic merchandise.
