On May 2, 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree appointing Natalia Poklonskaya to the post of Prosecutor of Crimea. The same day, Natalia took office.

Natalia Poklonskaya was born on March 18, 1980, in the village of Mikhailovka, the Voroshilovgrad region (now the Lugansk region of Ukraine). 10 years later, together with her parents she moved to Crimea, to Evpatoria. After graduating from a University she worked at the Prosecutor's office of Ukraine, having risen from the rank of assistant Prosecutor to the acting Prosecutor of the Republic of Crimea.

From December 2012 to March 2014, she worked as Senior Prosecutor of the 2nd bureau of the procedural guidance of pre-trial investigation and support of state charges of the Department of supervision over observance of laws by bodies of internal affairs of the Main Department of supervision over observance of laws in criminal proceedings of the Prosecutor General's office of Ukraine.

On February 25, 2014, during the crisis on the Maidan in Kiev, Poklonskaya sent in resignation, thus explaining her decision: "I am ashamed to live in a country, where neo-fascists freely walk about the streets and dictate their conditions to the so-called new government."

Then Natalia immediately moved to Simferopol, where she offered her assistance to the government of Crimea in order to prevent the repetition of the Kiev events.

A considerable decline in the overal scope of offences has been observed in Crimea, Natalia Poklonskaya, acting Prosecutor of the Republic of Crimea, told Rossiiskaya Gazeta in an interview, Itar-Tass reports.

"The criminogenic situation on the (Crimean) Peninsula has improved appreciably. As compared with last year, a decline in the overall number of crimes is observed. The Prosecutor's Office has established close contacts with the Interior Ministry, the Federal Security Service, and the Emergencies Control Ministry the subdivisions of which have been already set up and successfully function in Crimea," she pointed out.

The head of the regional prosecutor's office assured the readers that nothing threatens the safety of holidaymakers.

"The situation is absolutely safe. Crimea's people have been always famed for their kindness and hospitality. Come to Crimea and do not be afraid of anything: we shall be glad to see you, and we shall ensure the safety and protection of the constitutional rights of all citizens who will be on the territory of ancient Tauride," Poklonskaya pointed out.

Acting prosecutor general of Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya is not afraid of criminal charges filed against her in Ukraine. She is wanted there for “actions aimed at overthrowing the constitutional order or the seizure of power”. “I know that charges were filed against me in Ukraine, that I was put on a wanted list there. I am not afraid of it, my conscience is clear,” said Poklonskaya.

She added that on February 25 she officially resigned from her post, because "she was ashamed of living in a country where neo-fascists could freely walk in the streets." According to RIA Novosti, she said that she always followed the laws, and that it is those who went against the will of the people and seized power who should fear retribution.

Poklonskaya was appointed the prosecutor general of Crimea, when after a referendum the peninsula declared its independence and subsequently joined Russia. According to the media, four candidates before her were offered the position she occupies now and all of them refused. Poklonskaya explained that she took the job because she considered the actions of the new authorities in Kiev outrageous. She "could not tolerate all that lawlessness and wanted to show the people what protection is, what law is, how everyone is equal under the law; what power is, and that power belongs to the people."

Poklonskaya plays fortepiano and likes painting. She's divorced, has a daughter. Only a few days after her appointment, this frail blue-eyed blonde became the star of the Japanese social networks. Later she also attracted the attention of Internet users from other countries. Due to her increasing popularity the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation issued a formal statement, declaring that the head prosecutor of Crimea has no social network accounts or blogs, and that all information pertaining to the activities of her office is available on the official websites.

General Prosecutie for you: Crimea’s Poklonskaya promoted to new rank

Русский: Прокурор Крыма старший советник юстиции Наталья Владимировна Поклонская
English: Natalia Poklonskaya, Prosecutor General of the Republic of Crimea from 2014 onwards, at the expanded board meeting of the office of the Prosecutor General of Russia on 24 March 2015.
Natalia Poklonskaya, Crimea’s chief prosecutor, who came to prominence during the peninsula’s controversial partition from Ukraine, has been promoted. She is now a major general equivalent.

The promotion is one of 80 ordered this week by Russian President Vladimir Putin among officers of the military, the police, the prosecution, the investigative committee, customs and other law enforcement agencies.

Poklonskaya’s rank was raised form chief justice councilor to state justice councilor 3rd class, which corresponds to a promotion from colonel to major general in the Russian military or the police force.

Her previous promotion came in March 2014, days after being appointed acting chief prosecutor of Crimea by the prosecutor general. The appointment was made permanent two months later.

Poklonskaya, 35, rose to global prominence during the turbulent secession of Crimea from Ukraine and reunification with Russia. At a media conference she spoke up for rebellious local authorities, denounced the armed coup in Kiev and declared Crimea’s refusal to submit to the new Ukrainian authorities. Her harsh words and stern expression contrasted greatly with her cute blond appearance and unusual voice, sparking an instant internet meme.

She is among the public figures, who were personally slapped with travel and financial sanctions by the European Union for her role in the fateful events. In Ukraine she is wanted for conspiracy to overthrow lawful authorities.

Crimea rebelled against the coup-imposed authorities in Kiev, which took power after ousting President Viktor Yanukovich in February 2014. Local residents voted overwhelmingly for breaking away from Ukraine and requested Russia to take Crimea under its sovereignty, which was granted in March.

Kiev and its foreign backers consider the move illegal and imposed through force. However, Moscow insists it was a proper execution of Crimea’s right for self-determination, as stated in the UN Charter.
