After graduation, he worked in his specialty, while simultaneously studying at the financial and economic college of the city of Buzuluk. He not only graduated with honors, but also later became a candidate of science.
Labor activity
Azarov Dmitry Igorevich, whose biography is considered in the article, made a dizzying career from an ordinary programmer, accountant and economist of a private company to the general director of the “Middle Volga Gas Company” (2001), having gone this way in just 9 years. On his track record is a short job at the tax office. He received his first major appointment in 1995, becoming deputy director of the Volgoenergomontazh branch of the trust.

His next appointment was already SVKK. As the general director, in Moscow, Azarov Dmitry Igorevich defended his thesis on economics, becoming one of the most competent enterprise managers.
The beginning of a political career
The 2006th in the history of the city of Samara became the year of confrontation between the "Party of Life" - "United Russia". Young ambitious politicians and local business leaders teamed up with Viktor Tarkhov against the current mayor, George Limansky. And they won. After winning the election, Tarkhov proposed that Azarov become the first deputy head of the city district, in charge of finance and economic development. Until 2008, he worked in the city apparatus, voluntarily leaving high office. The Samara region in his person acquired a new minister of environmental management, and Dmitry Igorevich began to associate his career with the United Russia party.
2009 was a very important year for him. The surname of Azarov was included in the personnel reserve of the President of the Russian Federation, and in the 2010 elections he was nominated as a candidate for the vacancy of the Head of the city district. He won by gaining nearly 67% of the vote.
As mayor
For 4 years, Azarov Dmitry Igorevich was the mayor, having remained in the memory of the townspeople as one of the most accessible and democratic city leaders. He actively talked on the Internet, leading a page on Twitter, where other officials of the apparatus soon appeared. Under him, a real site was created where citizens' appeals were not only read, but measures were taken on them without fail. Meetings with residents have become traditional. They were held until late in the evening, until the last question present. What specific cases did the former mayor remember?
- Restoring order on the streets of the urban district. This applies to cleanliness, the purchase of cleaning machines, the demolition of illegal stalls and the reconstruction of the Volga embankment.
- Creation of original monuments that became a decoration of the city within the framework of the Cultural Samara organizing committee. So, in front of the railway station there was a sculpture of Yuri Detochkin, and on the banks of the great river - the composition "Burlaki on the Volga". Historical justice was restored and a monument appeared to the founder of Samara, Grigory Zasekin, on the embankment.
- Company for a healthy lifestyle. At the initiative of Azarov, the sale of alcohol on holidays was prohibited in the city, and a green street was opened for sports. The former mayor has personally participated in street basketball competitions that have become traditional.
Council of the Federation
When in 2011, Azarov headed the Association of Volga cities, and a little later became vice-president of the Union, which included all Russian cities, it became clear that politics is closely on the scale of one region. In 2013, a new governor appeared in the Samara region, who only had to win the recognition of local residents. Nikolai Merkushkin arrived from Mordovia, where he had a certain authority, but Samara inhabitants were completely unfamiliar. Dmitry Igorevich Azarov represented for him a certain competition in the struggle for the sympathy of voters.
The situation was resolved in 2014, when it was decided to appoint Azarov as the senator in the Federation Council from the region. On October 10, a Samara politician took office, which expires in 2019. Due to his widespread fame as mayor, he led an important committee dealing with regional politics and the federal structure.
