Bivša nastavnica ruskog jezika i direktorica škole, Fandukova je jedan od bliskih saradnika Borisova još od kraja 2005, kad ju je on izabrao za svog zamjenika nadležnog za obrazovanje, omladinu, kulturu i nauku, nakon što je pobijedio kao nezavisni kandidat na vanrednim izborima za gradonačelnika Sofije.
A former Russian language teacher and school principal, Fandukova has been one of Borisov's close aides since late 2005, when he picked her as his deputy in charge of education, youth, culture and science after winning the pre-term mayoral election in Sofia as an independent candidate.
