[9] Marc Bennetts, writing for the Russian daily Ria Novosti, stated that Golodets was believed to be close to Medvedev and that she had commercial connections with businessman-turned politician Mikhail Prokhorov.

[citation needed] In fact, it was Prokhorov, who recommended Golodets for the post of deputy prime minister.
