Biography and Education

Born on November 12, 1977, in Nizhny Novgorod [8]. She graduated from the Volga-Vyatka Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation with a degree in State and Municipal Administration [6][2].

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, she competed in beauty pageants. In 1999 she won the Miss Nizhny Novgorod pageant, and in 2002 she received the title of "Krasa Rossii"; she was first runner-up at the Miss Asia pageant and participated in Miss World [8]. She completed the Academy of Public Administration during her years on the pageant circuit [7].

She became involved in charitable work during the same period: participation in social campaigns was part of the program for pageant contestants. "Helping people has always been a calling of my heart," Tatаrintseva explained when describing her transition from one-off campaigns to ongoing work [10].

Charitable Foundation "Dobroye Delo"

In 2015 Tatаrintseva registered the charitable foundation "Dobroye Delo" and became its director [10]. The position of foundation director is listed in her deputy profiles for both convocations [2][1].

The foundation assists residents of the Nizhny Novgorod Region who have found themselves in difficult circumstances, as well as children's homes, boarding schools, rehabilitation centers, and homes for the elderly and disabled. The foundation's work is based on the principle of "small good deeds": rather than running large fundraising campaigns, it addresses specific needs — installing a wheelchair ramp in an entryway, purchasing food parcels, paying for a rehabilitation course [10].

The foundation's ongoing projects include:

  • "Tvoy Chas" ("Your Hour") — a free mobile app through which people in need find volunteers, and volunteers find those they can help [10]
  • "Krugovorot Dobra" ("Circle of Kindness") — the transfer of goods from donors to those who need them, on the condition that the recipient in turn helps someone else [10]
  • "Obrazovaniye bez granits" ("Education Without Borders") — providing children from low-income families with computers, laptops, and smartphones with internet access for remote learning [10]
  • targeted assistance — fundraising for medical treatment, household appliances, furniture, and other needs of those who apply [10]

City Duma, 6th Convocation (2015–2020)

On September 21, 2015, Tatаrintseva joined the Nizhny Novgorod City Duma of the 6th convocation on the municipal party list of Just Russia [7]. The Duma of this convocation was for the first time composed of 47 deputies rather than 42; twelve seats were distributed by party list, five of which went to Just Russia [9].

In this convocation, Tatаrintseva served as deputy chair of the standing committee on economics, industry, and entrepreneurship, was a member of the standing committee on social policy, and belonged to the Just Russia parliamentary group [2].

Deputy for Constituency No. 35 (2020–2025)

In the 2020 elections she was elected to the City Duma of the 7th convocation from single-member constituency No. 35 [4][1]. In the new convocation she became deputy chair of the standing committee on social policy, joined the standing committee on urban development, construction, and architecture, and was appointed deputy head of the parliamentary group of the party "Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth" [1].

Constituency No. 35 covers part of the Prioksky District together with territories formerly belonging to the Nizhny Novgorod Region: the rural settlements of Luch, Kudma, and Novinki, the villages of Beshentsevo, Olgino, Komarovo, Kusakovka, Lyakhovo, Novopavlovka, Romashkovo, Sartakovo, and various garden-plot cooperatives. More than 29,000 people live here, a significant share of them in the rural settlements and villages [3].

The deputy held personal surgeries on the first Wednesday of each month by appointment; her assistant's office was located at 95 Osharskaya Street [3].

Residents' Appeals and Constituency Budget

In 2024, the deputy's public reception office received 315 appeals [3]. By subject, they broke down as follows:

  • housing and utilities issues — 102: the work of housing management companies, roof repairs, façade insulation, flooded basements, and interruptions in water, electricity, and heating supply [3]
  • social issues — 95: targeted and financial assistance, transport provision, installation of traffic lights and bus shelters, and route adjustments [3]
  • urban improvement — 77: resurfacing and pothole repairs, street lighting, storm drainage, children's play and sports equipment, power lines, and snow clearance [3]
  • public and administrative matters — 35, and legal issues (land boundary disputes, disputes with developers) — 6 [3]

Areas of Deputy Activity

On Tatаrintseva's initiative, 2 million rubles were allocated from the Nizhny Novgorod city budget to her constituency in 2024. The largest recipients were: School No. 89 (500,000 rubles for the rebranding of common areas), School No. 88 "Novinskaya" (420,000 rubles for ventilation repairs), School No. 134 (253,500 rubles for replacement of the entrance group), Kindergarten No. 210 (230,000 rubles for drying cabinets), and School No. 132 (191,700 rubles for Yunarmiya uniforms); a further 92,000 rubles were directed to the Novinki rural council for storm water drainage [3].

Tatаrintseva identified infrastructure failing to keep pace with construction in the formerly regional territories as the constituency's central issue: installation of street lighting networks in almost every settlement, transfer of street water supply networks to municipal ownership, improving transport accessibility, and bus stop improvements [3]. On her initiative, the installation of speed bumps near socially significant facilities in Kudma and Novinki was developed and traffic police patrols were conducted; a tour of the constituency's schools to inspect school meals was also organized [3].

In an interview at the end of 2023, the deputy cited among the year's achievements the opening of residential blocks in the Novinki Smart City development, the opening of School No. 152, and the repair of the road to the village of Kusakovka [12].

Through the foundation and her deputy reception office, Tatаrintseva ran the campaign "Skoro v shkolu" ("Back to School") — collecting school bags, stationery, sports kits, and shoes for children from large families, low-income families, and children with disabilities; from 2022 onwards, assistance was extended to families of refugees from Ukraine, the DNR, and the LNR [11].

End of Term

Tatаrintseva's term ended together with the 7th convocation of the City Duma. Following the vote of September 12–14, 2025, the Nizhny Novgorod City Duma of the 1st convocation was formed, comprising 39 single-member constituency deputies; constituency No. 35 was won by Mikhail Yevstifeyev of the party "Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth" [5][6].
