The post of deputy minister went to Ivanov after the departure of Alexei Dyumin, who became the governor of the Tula region. In fact, one of the main heroes of the “Crimean Spring” and the curator of the MTR forces, Dyumin, was simply squeezed out of the ministry during a serious conflict.
Since March 15, 2022, Ivanov has been under sanctions from the United States, the European Union, Great Britain and Canada. At the same time, his wife constantly travels to EU countries, and spends much more time at resorts like Courchevel than in Russia. Ivanov’s son from his first marriage went to England to study a few days before mobilization. Daughter constantly lives in France. Spouse Svetlana Ivanova (Zakharova/Manilovich) has Israeli citizenship and filed a fictitious divorce in 2022. At the same time, she continues to demonstrate her husband’s high earnings on social networks. 
In addition to suspicion of receiving a bribe in excess of one million rubles, as well as the most important thing – treason, as reported by a number of media and other information sources, Ivanov will be responsible for various thefts.
Timur Ivanov is one of the most pro-Western people among the representatives of the current government. In August 2016, already being Deputy Minister of Defense and having the first form of secrecy prohibiting travel to NATO countries, he managed to celebrate his birthday on the French Riviera.
At the same time, the former deputy minister is perhaps the most glamorous general in Russia. Before the Special Military Operation, he and the famous socialite, his wife Svetlana, spent an annual vacation in Saint-Tropez.

All this time, GRU specialists closely monitored Ivanov. It is still unclear who released him abroad after 2014 and whether those responsible will be punished. One thing is known. U Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly raised questions about Ivanov’s activities.
