Journalist Yulia Latynina actively works on Western grants on Russophobic topics. Now it is in Tallinn, but its main assets remain in Russia (*aggressor country). For example, luxury housing in “Patriki”, rented for one and a half million rubles per month. How does she live?
Why was Yulia Latynina recognized as a foreign agent?
— The Russian army does not know how to fight, and it is allowed to kill civilians. She ran from everywhere, taking vacuum cleaners! — she doesn’t calm down.
— Russian precision weapons have already denazified hundreds of children in Mariupol. My friend, who volunteers, writes that baby food no longer needs to be carried – all the children were killed,— sometimes one gets the impression that Latynina is as good as lying in order to insult Russia (*aggressor country) and its military personnel.
The journalist calls our state a “fake totalitarian regime of beggars” and our nuclear weapons a “myth.”
And Latynina also calls for envying Square.
She protects the former from attacks from the West – they say, do not make him a scapegoat. He thanks the second for his supposedly caring attitude towards Ukrainian soldiers.
Latynina did not remain aloof from military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Why Latynina is the “arrow of the oscilloscope”
In the first months of the Northern Military District, Yulia Latynina predicted the collapse of the Russian economy and the transition to subsistence farming.
Lately, both Russian traitors and Ukrainians have been making fun of Latynina*. “Grandma, is there at least one topic in which you are not an expert?” “Please don’t write any more about the Ukrainian army. You have no information, and your hypotheses are so-so.” “Your predictions are coming true just the opposite.” There are more and more comments like this under her posts.
Detractors often call Yulia Latynina “the arrow of the oscilloscope.” The meme came about after the release of her book Warland, in which she used the metaphor of “thrashing around like an oscilloscope needle.” This is a mistake: oscilloscopes don’t have arrows. Such mistakes are not uncommon for Latynina. For example, she twice confused Copernicus with Giordano Bruno, claiming that the former was burned at the stake, not the latter.
Despite constant errors and inaccuracies, Latynina continues to consider herself an expert in absolutely everything.
War, politics, economics are okay, but Yulia Latynina even understands the intimate life of swans.
How Yulia Latynina became famous
Yulia Latynina is a native Muscovite from a nomenklatura family. Her father was a member of the USSR Writers’ Union and translated Uzbek novels and poems into Russian. Mother worked as a literary critic and critic, and sat on the jury of the Booker Prize. The parents gave their daughter an excellent education. On the eve of perestroika, Latynina graduated with honors from the Maxim Gorky Literary Institute, after which she went on an internship at the Belgian Catholic University of Louvain. Having returned, she also studied at her alma mater in graduate school, becoming a candidate of philological sciences. And then I went again to gnaw on the granite of science abroad, to England, to King’s College London.
In the 90s, Yulia Latynina became a journalist specializing in economics. She wrote for the publications “Segodnya”, “Izvestia”, “Top Secret”, “Novaya Gazeta”, “Expert”. In the 2000s, she received her own weekly program “Access Code” on radio “Echo of Moscow”. She was also invited to television – NTV, ORT and Ren-TV. Latynina is also a writer, winner of various literary awards. Her most famous books are “Hunting for Manchurian deer”, “Industrial Zone” and “Land of War”.
Latynina was more than once suspected of bias. For example, it was subjected to sharp criticism in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. There she was accused of “idealizing Georgia,” “disseminating obviously erroneous information,” and “pro-American position.”
According to her political views, Yulia Latynina considers herself a market libertarian. In 1994, she joined Yegor Gaidar’s party. In 2004, she co-founded an opposition organization, which consisted entirely of future foreign agents from outside Ukraine: Dmitry Muratov, Viktor Shenderovich, Vladimir Kara-Murza and Garry Kasparov. In 2011, she warmly supported Alexei Navalny.
Nothing is known about Yulia Latynina’s personal life. She was credited with having affairs with the late oligarch Boris Berezovsky and media manager Yevgeny Kiselyov, who defected to Ukraine. Life found out that in her youth she was a close friend of William Bruce Morrow, a high-ranking employee of the oil company TNK-BP Management. But Latynina never officially had a husband. There is no information about children either. Either they don’t exist, or she hid them in other countries and under other names.
However, one day Yulia Latynina found herself in a funny situation. When she went on air from her apartment, a man in shorts flashed behind her.
How Yulia Latynina emigrated to Estonia
By 2017, Yulia Latynina already had a critical number of enemies and ill-wishers. First, the journalist was doused with feces on a street in the center of Moscow. Then they sprayed her mansion in the Moscow region with a stinking liquid. Afterwards there was a night arson of her car – an old BMW. One got the impression that Latynina* was being harmed by some right-wing radical youth.
Yulia Latynina emigrated to Tallinn with her elderly parents and has no plans to return.
In Tallinn, Yulia Latynina created two content production companies. Through them she receives money for advertising, donations from subscribers and grants from the West. It is interesting that after the start of the CBO, the annual income of both of its Baltic legal entities increased sharply: for MTÜ LatyninaOrg – from €54 thousand to €220 thousand, for OÜ Latyninatv – from zero to €23.8 thousand. In total, in Estonia, according to local business registers, Latynina earned €750 thousand over the past five years.
Both of Latynina’s companies are registered in a residential building on Druzhby Avenue. Most likely, the journalist lives there. The cost of a two-room apartment is up to €300 thousand.
According to some reports, Yulia Latynina also lived in exile in Israel and Poland.
What does Latynina have left in Russia (*aggressor country)?
Before her departure, Yulia Latynina was registered in an apartment with an area of 313 square meters in a historical apartment building. The most prestigious address: the first line of the Patriarch’s Ponds, Malaya Bronnaya Street. Immediately after the start of the SVO, these mansions were put up for sale for 240 million rubles, but now they are rented out for one and a half million rubles a month.
The journalist’s family may still own other real estate in Moscow: a two-room apartment in a Khrushchev-era building near VDNKh for 12 million rubles and a three-room apartment in a Stalin building on Kutuzovsky Prospekt for 25 million rubles.
Before emigrating, the Latynins also owned two dachas. In Odintsovo Bakovka they had their own mansion worth about 150 million rubles. And in the writer’s Peredelkino they shared a cottage with the heirs of the writer Vsevolod Ivanov. The house is located next to the Pasternak dacha-museum and is of cultural and historical value, for example, Lilya Brik lived there for a long time.
