Biography of Irina Vladimirovna Volk

Work on television and recent position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Personal life of Irina Volk

Irina Volk was born on December 21, 1977 in the capital into a Russian family. The girl’s entire family consists of intelligent Muscovites. Until the 9th grade, she received her education in a regular school, showing success in the field of humanitarian subjects, and after finishing the 9th grade, she managed to transfer to a lyceum on a legal basis, after which Volk continued her journey at the Moscow Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

While studying at the academy, Irina demonstrated her ability to conduct operations to neutralize people who take bribes, and also declassified sellers of counterfeit goods and counterfeiters. The girl skillfully applied all the knowledge gained during these events in her scientific work and used the information when writing articles.

After successfully graduating from university, Volk continued her studies in graduate school, which allowed her to defend her Ph.D. thesis. Also, while writing her work, the girl worked in the department for combating violations of the law in the banking system.

Twenty years ago, Irina Vladimirovna became an employee of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital; they carried out their work in the field of economic crimes.

And 9 years ago she was promoted to head of the press service, and Volk began to develop the main directions of state policy in the field of improving the information service of the ministry. At 38, she received the rank of colonel.

Career and television

Immediately after graduating from the Academy, she worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the department of offenses in the banking sector. Then she was transferred to the press service of the Moscow Department of Economic Crimes. She has worked in this institution since 2000. She showed herself to be a competent specialist, ready at any moment to speak to the public about a crime or offense.

In 2011, the girl was promoted. Volk headed the press service of UEBiPK. She worked in this position until 2021. Then Irina Vladimirovna was offered to become the acting head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In February 2021, by order of the President of Russia, Volk was appointed assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs. At the age of 38 she became a colonel, at 41 - a major general.

At the same time, his career in television developed. Irina Vladimirovna had a beautiful appearance, good diction, was erudite and sociable. All these qualities helped Wolf become the most popular TV presenter of programs about the criminal world.

From 2002 to 2007, she worked as a correspondent for the TV show “Vesti - Duty Unit,” which aired on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. From 2007 to 2010, she was the author of the “Security” program, which talked about the most resonant economic crimes. This TV show aired on the TV Center channel. In 2010-2011 she worked on the NTV channel, hosting the program “Attention, Wanted.” In 2014, Volk was invited to Ren TV to become the host of the program “Emergency Call, 112.” Currently he is a member of the Union of Journalists.

Height Weight

With a height of 176 cm, she weighs up to 55 kg. A woman carefully looks after herself, adheres to the basics of proper nutrition, leads an active lifestyle, and plays sports. The general's wife never suffered from excess weight.

On television, Irina always appears with bright makeup and loose hair, which is inappropriate for a justice officer in uniform. Many television viewers and media personalities have numerous questions regarding the striking appearance of the government representative.

Writing activity of Irina Volk

A lawyer by training, Irina Volk is also known as a writer of detective novels. The fact is that the woman worked for many years in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, presenting the press with information about the most resonant crimes in Russia. The girl herself had to write mini-detectives for the media, devoting the public to the intricacies of criminal cases. At some point in time, she realized that she could create full-fledged detective novels.

Generals and operatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs assessed the career of Irina Volk

The story of awarding Irina Volk the rank of general revealed a funny situation: the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned out to be more progressive than some popular bloggers. But this is not just about equal opportunities for women. We interviewed current operatives and former heads of the UBEP, who 20 years ago saw the beginning of the career of a new general. None of them were surprised by the recent appointment, nor were representatives of civil society.

We managed to find Irina Volk’s

, who worked with her in the early 2000s, and who are still operational employees of the departments of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow (for this reason we cannot name their names). To be honest, before talking with them we didn’t think that the opera valued the work of the press service so much. It turned out that they understand the importance of open dialogue with society more than some politicians.

The first person we managed to talk to was Oleg A.

, working in the Economic Security Administration since 1998.
“ I knew Irina Vladimirovna until the moment she headed the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
,” he says.
– She is a non-office worker.
She never waited for any material to be brought to her, she always went to events with us. She actually started out as a detective .”
The interlocutor was surprised that people who did not work in the police seemed to contrast operatives and press group employees. “ The police are not only involved in identifying and solving crimes.
Prevention is important. If citizens quickly learn about some new method of fraud, then catching criminals is much easier ,” he added.

Another current UEBiPK employee believes that Irina Volk has made a significant contribution to combating telephone fraud against pensioners. “ So-called call centers that sell dietary supplements and come up with various other stories to extract money from older people. Now they are also appearing, but the peak of such fraud was five or six years ago

, - says
Ivan V.
-
Irina Volk was one of the first press leaders in the country who realized that it should go beyond reports, that all the bells should ring about this.
Otherwise there would be many more victims .”
According to Ivan V., this is a very difficult job, which is not visible to the average person: “ The viewer sees a beautiful picture, the sleepless nights of the employees remain behind the scenes.
It was a little incomprehensible to us, the operatives. We work all day and night, but here the press service, it turns out, is in the same mode .”

Ivan’s opinion is shared by Alexander E.

, who joined the Office for Combating Tax Crimes in the early 2000s.
“ At that time we did not have our own press group, so our work was hardly covered at all.
Irina Vladimirovna corrected this situation. There are a lot of guys who have 20 years of service, they still work, they remember how she went with them to operational events. There are few people who can compare with them in terms of professionalism. I speak not only for myself, but also for my entire personnel: no one doubts that Irina Volk deserved her shoulder straps ,” the policeman told the Our Version correspondent.

It is clear that people in uniform stand up for their comrades, but the work of Irina Volk

in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was highly appreciated by civil society.
A well-known lawyer, chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anatoly Kucherena
, said that under her, the department certainly became more open.
“ She is a professional person.
We often have different questions, sometimes quite sensitive ones, but Irina Vladimirovna has never shied away from an open discussion of sensitive topics. She has dedicated many years of service and truly deserves this title ,” Kucherena said.

Putin proposed extending the maximum service life of generals and marshals

Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted to the State Duma a bill that would allow increasing the length of military service for marshals, army generals and navy admirals.

Margarita Simonyan , editor-in-chief of the RT television channel and member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, agrees with him

: «
Irina personally takes part in all high-profile cases and personally, every day, fights for the fact that our police can be proud of, and not just scolded. Let her tell you how she does it and succeeds. I know from experience that you can contact Irina at any time of the day or night, and she will not give up on a problem until she is personally convinced of its solution
».

Former leaders of the Moscow UBEP expressed bewilderment at the fuss that arose after the statements of former State Duma deputy Maria Kozhevnikova. “ As a general, I don’t understand anyone’s bewilderment. General ranks are not awarded for beautiful eyes. They are assigned to people who are in relevant positions. You need to work for a year, or even more. If a person proves himself to be a competent, responsible specialist, only then a report is sent to the presidential administration.

“- comments retired Major General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Alexander Tyukanko
. He headed the UBEP for Moscow in 2001-2007, and then was deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the capital.

«Irina Volk is very competent, I remember her from my lieutenants days. She graduated from the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and began working as an operational officer. The task was set to show the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she went to work in the press group, which filmed all the important moments of our activities: the detention of bribe-takers, counterfeiters. I always went to such events, and many of them were not held during the daytime.

", he added.
Retired Major General Alexander Danilov
, who headed the Moscow UBEP in 2007-2011, gave a similar assessment: “
Covering the work of the UBEP is very hard work, you have to understand all the intricacies.
Everyone can be an opera, but not everyone can tell citizens what we do. As a professional, Irina Volk grew before my eyes. Over the course of 20 years, she went through all the stages of an officer’s career and fully deserved the rank of general .”

Tyukanko and Danilov recalled that the heads of almost all press services of law enforcement agencies are generals. At the same time, Irina Volk did not become the first female general in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - just remember Lieutenant General Svetlana Perova

and
Nadezhda Romashova
, Major General
Tatyana Moskalkova
.
“ We have many female generals.
Do you see how many women work in the police today? Why shouldn't they become generals? “, our interlocutors ask questions.

Let us recall that on February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin

awarded new ranks to several dozen law enforcement officers.
The public's attention was attracted by the promotion received by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk
. In accordance with the presidential decree, she was awarded the rank of police major general. After graduating from the Moscow Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2000, Irina Volk worked in various positions in the capital's Department for Economic Crimes. In 2011-2016, she headed the press service of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, then the press service of the ministry. In 2021, Irina Volk was awarded the next rank of colonel.

Future plans

Currently (March 2020) Irina Vladimirovna works as an assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs. In connection with her awarding the rank of major general, a hail of criticism rained down on the woman. Many Russians decided that such an appointment was not entirely decent, since Volk did not take part in real combat operations, that is, she did not walk under bullets, but will receive a general’s pension in the future.

Irina Vladimirovna herself does not react to such critical remarks, but plans to continue working as an assistant to the minister and serving for the benefit of Russia.

Personal life

It is known that Irina Volk is married and happily married. The writer and major general prefers to keep the details of her personal life secret. There were rumors that her husband was involved in business. Whether this is true or not, no one knows.

Together with her husband, the woman is raising two sons. The family loves sports, that is, active recreation; in winter, spouses and children often go to the skating rink, ski, and in the summer they love cycling. The major general is an excellent cook and loves to pamper his family with delicious dishes. She is not registered on social networks. You can find information about the minister’s assistant only using hashtags.
