Natalia Alekseïevna Narotchnitskaïa, born in 1948, is Alexeï Leontievitch Narotchnitskii's daughter; a historian specialized in Russian history during the 19th century. Natalia Alekseïevna Narotchnitskaïa, who has a doctorate in history from the State Institute of international relations in Moscow, is, as her father, a historian and philosopher, but specialized in international relations, the director of the Science Academy of Russia, and the director of Russian history institute Andreï Sakharov. She is also a politician, who worked from 1982 to 1989 at the secretary of the United Nations (UN) in New York, for a soviet diplomatic mission. Since 2008, she also was a member of the Duma, in the group called “Justice Russia” for her engagement in the patriotic party called Rodina. As a fervent nationalist and partisan of an orthodox civilization, she is known for her engagements in favor of Russia and anti-Atlantic positions. For instance, she strongly defended the Serbian politic during the Yugoslavian war and was against the NATO's intervention, and more recently the Russian power during the conflicts in Chechnya.
Nowadays, she is a member of the Institut russe de la démocratie et de la cooperation based in Paris, where she tries to give answers to the questions about Vladimir's Putin politic, which is often considered as dictatorial and denounces the infringements of human rights in Occident. It is also important to notice that in 2009 she agreed to work into a Commission created by Dmitri Medvedev, which struggles against the falsification attempts of the Russian history. This commission was part of a great campaign lead by Dmitri Medvedev to restore Russia's image during the Second World War, and wanted to create a law which would have provide three to five years of detention in case of negation of the Russian victory during the Second World War.
