Borisov Egor Afanasevich has been heading Yakutia for quite some time. His name is associated with the achievements of this region and scandals. Any leader of this order attracts public attention. Let's see who Boris Yegor Afanasevich is, how the Yakuts live under his leadership.
In 2004, this person became known to the general public in connection with the disappearance of many billion rubles from the budget. However, the inspection authorities did not find anything reprehensible. But first things first.
Borisov Egor Afanasevich: biography
Our hero was born in 1954, on August 15. This happened in the village of Churapcha of the same region of the Yakut ASSR. Like all children of that time, I went to school. Among adolescents, it did not stand out. When the last bell rang and it was time to think about the future, I went to work.
He began his career from the bottom. For some time he worked as a mechanic in the local branch of "Agricultural machinery". He believed in himself and decided that secondary education is not enough to create a career. He entered the Novosibirsk Agricultural Institute, which he successfully graduated in 1979, having received a diploma with the qualification of “mechanical engineer”.
The heart of Yegor Borisov was forever given to his small homeland. After training, he decided that he needed no other edge. The Republic of Sakha is his fate. Therefore, he returned to his native area. Career went, as they say, in growth. After some time, he was no longer a mechanic, but the second secretary of the party district committee. In this way, leading cadres were grown in the Union: people were looked after in the outback and taught to manage. The case was ordinary and very promising both for the person himself and for the country.
Childhood memories
Borisov Egor Afanasevich described where such true love for his native land came from. He says nothing supernatural happened, his father instilled this feeling in him. He took his then twelve-year-old son to hunt. They went to a place called Taba. The guy saw an unusual lake, framed by birch groves. Endless green meadows set off the landscape. Buildings were visible in the distance, but the place seemed magical, unusually picturesque.
The father said to the boy: “Here, son, this is your homeland, the land of Teleus!” Borisov Egor Afanasevich claims that from that moment on, a small homeland settled in his heart. He fell in love with that alaas. But what our hero does not tell anyone about is the desire to make the earth even more beautiful, to put all his strength for its prosperity. What he did, becoming an adult.
The way to the main position
The Republic of Sakha was undergoing changes along with the whole country. Regional party parties disbanded. Instead, the institution of the presidency was organized. But before the appointment to this important position, our hero has come a long way. Yegor Borisov began his political career in 1991. Then he was appointed deputy minister of agriculture. Seven years later, he headed the department.
Times then were not very suitable for the development of territories, for sure, you yourself remember this. I had to Egor Afanasevich and "under the horse" to visit. In 2000, he left the government, but did not leave his native places. He worked as the head of the Research Institute of Agriculture.
Fortune smiled at him again two years later. Vyacheslav Shtyrov invited this person who knows the region to work in the election headquarters. And very soon, Boris Yegor Afanasevich led the campaign. Yakutia, in his opinion, needed a strong hand and a loving heart. Vyacheslav Shtyrov won those elections, he did not remain in debt. The head of his election headquarters moved to the chair of the head of government.
Scandal
Any politician can get into sharp journalistic tongues. And the one who manages state funds is in the zone of special public control. The head of the Republic of Sakha fell under the “shelling” of vigorous journalists. The case concerned embezzlement of gigantic sums.
A certain journalist, whose name we will not advertise, accused the official of embezzling one billion rubles, then 18, followed by an even larger amount. A check came from the capital. But she did not find evidence to discredit the government. By the way, the mentioned journalist received a serious term for libel. The media again accused the ill-fated official of everything. But people see who is to blame. And people gave their assessment of the events later.
Sharp turn
In 2010, Vyacheslav Shtyrov suddenly left his post. For residents of the region, this was a complete surprise. The authorities explained the official’s departure by personal circumstances; more detailed comments could not be obtained from them. After about two weeks, the post was taken by Borisov Egor Afanasevich.
The President of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was approved by the local representative body, Il Tumen. Of the sixty-eight deputies, 61 people showed confidence in him. True, there were opponents of the candidacy. But they were in the overwhelming minority (two people). He confirmed the opinion of the deputies and the people. In 2014, at the next presidential election, Yegor Afanasevich received the majority of the votes of his compatriots.
Activities as head of Yakutia
First of all, the new president began restructuring the work of the government. They probably flew their heads, but gently, without media hysteria. The renewed body earned like a clock. The region is developing industry and agriculture.
It is worth mentioning the largest coal deposit in Russia - Elginsky. It began to work in 2011, almost immediately after the appointment of a new head of the republic. The company is one of the largest coal suppliers in the Asia-Pacific region. Half of the products are exported.
In the republic, more than eighty percent of the intelligence resources of diamonds are concentrated. The head of the region believes that the development of natural resources is the main direction of development of the region. This is a good contribution to strengthening the economy of the federation. All efforts of the government are concentrated in this direction.
The industry of the republic produces almost all antimony in the country, which is used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Its explored reserves account for eighty-two percent of the total in the Russian Federation. But agriculture does not go unnoticed by the head of the republic. In Yakutia, industries such as reindeer husbandry and horse breeding are developing. In the villages they collect nature gifts and grow vegetables. Much attention is paid to fisheries - natural for the indigenous population.
Personal life
The wife of Yegor Afanasevich, Praskovya Petrovna, works next to her husband. She supports him in everything. They raised two daughters. It is not known whether the father drove them to hunt in his beloved alaas. But the grandchildren whom his daughters gave him are sure to take on a hunt. It is necessary to entrust the native land to someone, to convey love for this rich land.
The President of Yakutia is so busy that he does not like to give interviews on personal topics. He is a hunter and fisherman, like all representatives of this region. But he does not extend to other hobbies, remembering the story of a journalist who likes to delve into other people's financial reports.
