From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marina Solodkin (b. May 31, 1952) is a member of Israel's Knesset (parliament).
Solodkin was born in Moscow, USSR. She earned a PhD in Economic and Social History at Moscow University.
Solodkin served as Deputy Minister of Immigrant Absorption (from August 5, 1999 until July 11, 2000 and from March 30, 2005 until May 4, 2006). She had previously served as the Chairperson of the Committee on the Status of Women in the 14th Knesset.
Solodkin was first elected to the Knesset as a member of the Israel Ba-Aliya party in 1996. She is now number six on Kadima's list. On May 4, 2006, in protest of not being appointed a Minister, despite her high placement on Kadima's list, Solodkin was absent from the swearing-in ceremony of the new Kadima government.
