KISELEVA Natalia Alexandrovna

A russian civil servant who, since August 24, 2026, has served as deputy head of the federal agency "rossotrudnichestvo."
In March 2024, she publicly supported the activities of russian volunteer organizations that provide support to russian military personnel during the war against Ukraine. Commenting on the opening of the exhibition "Tomsk Residents in the special military operation" at the Tomsk Regional Museum of Local History, she emphasized that volunteer organizations in the region are assisting russian military personnel around the clock and called on residents of the region to join these efforts. The exhibition featured personal belongings of participants in the russian invasion of Ukraine, samples of products that local businesses and volunteers manufactured for the russian army, as well as materials about fallen servicemen. The exhibition included meetings with participants in the so-called "special military operation," military-patriotic lectures, and workshops on making camouflage nets.
In November 2024, during parliamentary hearings in the Tomsk region, Kiselova emphasized the need to shape young people’s worldview through the education system. In particular, she stated that it is up to educational institutions to determine "with what ideology and what worldview" graduates will complete their studies. The event was dedicated to preserving russian historical memory and "traditional values" and was attended by representatives of the russian Orthodox Church and veterans of the war against Ukraine.
On March 21–22, 2025, she took part in the All-russian patriotic forum "From the Victors of the Great Victory to the Victors of the "special military operation", aimed at fostering a positive image of participants in russia’s war against Ukraine among children and young people. The event was held in the Tomsk region with the support of the russian military-historical society and the victory museum. The participants drew parallels between soviet servicemen from World War II and modern vussian military personnel. Commenting on the forum, Kiselova emphasized the need to preserve the so-called "historical truth" about russian servicemen who have participated or are participating in the war against Ukraine.
In September 2025, during a meeting on the creation of a coordinating council for veterans’ organizations in the Tomsk region, Kiselova presented approaches to involving participants in russia’s war against Ukraine in the educational process and in the patriotic education of schoolchildren. In particular, she reported on efforts to commemorate fallen russian servicemen in schools and colleges and emphasized the need to use the stories of their fellow servicemen as examples of patriotism for students. She also cited the example of involving veterans of the so-called "special military operation" as instructors to work with teenagers at the "Ogonek" children’s camp.
In August 2025, she announced the launch of a new teacher training program in the Tomsk region for the subject "Fundamentals of National Security and Defense," which includes modules on military training and national security issues. According to her, veterans of the so-called special military operation could enroll in this program and, upon completion of their training, would have the opportunity to work as teachers, cadet corps instructors, and organizers of military-patriotic education. Kiselova also reported that classrooms had been equipped with mock small arms and other equipment for the military training of schoolchildren.
After her appointment to "rossotrudnichestvo," Kiselova became involved in developing educational and informational programs for "russian houses" abroad. In particular, on October 9, 2026, at a joint meeting of the public councils under the russian ministry of digital development and rossotrudnichestvo, she stated that these institutions should become platforms for acquiring new knowledge not only for russian compatriots but also for citizens of foreign countries, primarily in the areas of information and financial security, working with online resources and artificial intelligence. At the same meeting, the implementation of russian digital services through the agency’s network of overseas representative offices was discussed.
