B. N. Yeltsin about his wife
In his book “Presidential Marathon,” Boris Yeltsin devoted many pages to his wife:
| ... When Naina goes to the orphanage, or to the children's hospital, or to the hospital to her beloved actress, she never tells anyone about this. She sincerely considers charity, good deeds to be her private affair. |
| If the country knew about it, I think others would want to follow its example. But she always avoided publicity. These features of her character - modesty, tact, humanity - people feel from the few and very laconic interviews she gave to television, from those rare appearances in public when she accompanied me. Feel - and are drawn to her. |
