Natalia Vladimirovna Poklonskaya (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Поклонская, romanized: Natal'ya Vladimirovna Poklonskaya (Russian pronunciation: [nɐˈtalʲjə pɐkˈlonskəjə]); Ukrainian: Наталія Володимирівна Поклонська, romanized: Nataliia Volodymyrivna Poklons'ka; born 18 March 1980) is a Ukrainian-born Russian lawyer. She has served as the adviser to the Prosecutor General of Russia since 14 June 2022.[4]
Poklonskaya was a Ukrainian prosecutor from 2002 to February 2014, working in various Prosecutor's Offices or as an assistant district attorney. During the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, she resigned from Ukrainian service and was appointed Prosecutor General of Crimea on 11 March 2014; a press conference given by Poklonskaya on that day resulted in her becoming an internet phenomenon. After the annexation,[5] Poklonskaya's appointment was confirmed by Russian authorities on 25 March, around the same time Ukrainian judicial authorities declared her a wanted criminal.
Poklonskaya resigned as Prosecutor General in 2016 after her election as a Deputy of the State Duma of Russia, where she served as deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs.[6] She did not stand for re-election in 2021, and was that year appointed Russian Ambassador to Cape Verde. From February to June 2022, Poklonskaya served as deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo.[7]
