There are fewer and fewer representatives of the old Putin team on the Russian political arena, one of them, undoubtedly, is statesman Sergei Evgenyevich Naryshkin. The biography of a politician attracts the attention of the public, but he does not like to talk about the details of his life path. This breeds speculation and rumor. We will talk about how the statesman and politician Sergey Naryshkin was formed, whose genealogy causes so much talk.
Childhood and origin
The future politician was born on October 27, 1954 in Leningrad. Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich, whose pedigree has repeatedly become the subject of journalistic research, never speaks of parents and childhood. He does not like to let anyone into his personal life. Naryshkin is one of the most closed politicians in Russia.
It is known that Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich is a descendant of the Naryshkins, he belongs to the descendants of the second wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and Natalya Naryshkina, mother of Peter the Great. However, Sergei Evgenievich himself speaks of this relationship exclusively in a humorous tone.
The journalists managed to learn little about the childhood of the future politician. He has been swimming since an early age and still visits the pool every day. Sergey's parents (mother Zoya Nikolaevna and father Evgeny Mikhailovich) were typical Petersburg intellectuals. Those few who managed to meet with them say that they were quiet and nice people.
The Naryshkin family lived in the very center of Leningrad, on the Fontanka. In the old house, in a tiny two-room apartment, opposite the Mikhailovsky Castle, the childhood of a future statesman passed. In those years, the future director of foreign intelligence, Sergey Naryshkin, whose parents did not have large incomes, lived modestly. But it was quite typical for that time. The boy went in for sports, played hockey, swam, skied, and studied well.
Adolescence
In high school and high school, Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin, whose nationality and origin was never discussed, was an active, very athletic, and diligent student. His classmates and teachers remember him as a bright, intelligent and interesting person. He played a little guitar. Sergei even wanted to organize a musical ensemble at school, but could not find the necessary equipment.
Almost all classmates were secretly in love with him at school, but no one can remember the novels behind Naryshkin at that time. All teachers speak in a voice of his seriousness and responsible approach to any business. Although schoolmates note that Sergey has a good sense of humor, he could participate in the draw, he always liked jokes. Therefore, to imagine Naryshkin as a dry "nerd" is not true. Already in his youth he was very purposeful and serious, but at the same time he knew how to make friends and was not a stranger to many "boyish" activities: sports, music, interest in technology and politics. But from his youth he had a negative attitude to bad habits.
Education
Secondary education Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin, whose parents could not take him to school far from home, received at the educational institution, which was located closest to their housing. Despite the fact that Sergei from his youth demonstrated abilities for exact sciences, he studied at a school with an artistic and aesthetic bias.
In 1972, he graduated with honors, although without a gold medal, and easily entered the prestigious Voenmekh. In 1978, he graduated from the university with a degree in radio engineer mechanics. Student Naryshkin was very thoughtful, serious. Teachers remember him with great pleasure and give him an excellent characterization.
He was actively engaged in public work, was the secretary of the institute Komsomol organization. At the institute, Naryshkin was the head of the construction team. For his activity in Komsomol work he received the honorary badge “The Young Guardsman of the Five-Year Plan”. As a student, he became a candidate member of the CPSU, he was clearly aimed at a career.
However, Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin, whose education was a very important part of his life, could not work in his first specialty. At the end of the university, there is a “failure” in the biography of Sergei Evgenievich. Some journalists say that he graduated from the KGB School at that time, but there is no direct evidence or confirmation of this.
Later, he received another diploma in Economics from the International Institute of Management in St. Petersburg. Sergey Evgenievich is fluent in English and French. In addition, Naryshkin defended his PhD in 2002, and in 2010, his doctoral dissertation in economics. Although he did not become a great scientist, of course, he was accused of incorrect borrowing in his dissertations, but this topic did not receive a resonance.
Beginning of work biography
At the end of the Military Mechanical Institute, Sergei, to whom everyone predicted admission to graduate school, disappeared from the "radar" of biographers. It is this mystery that allows us to think that he studied in a closed institution. In 1982, he came to work in the St. Petersburg Polytech, in the place of assistant rector for international relations.
Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich, whose position again makes biographers think about his connection with the KGB, quickly gained authority and became deputy head of the foreign economic relations department of the LPI. In those days, such positions were almost always given to people who had received special training at the school of intelligence. In such places, young KGB officers underwent an internship and additional verification before being sent abroad. Little is known about this period of Naryshkin’s work biography. Colleagues note that he worked actively, was very responsible, but at the same time he was always very correct and intelligent. Obviously, he did not demonstrate ideological zeal peculiar to representatives of special services, although he was always loyal to the authorities.
In 1988, Sergei Evgenievich received a new appointment, this time abroad. He became an employee of the apparatus of the Soviet embassy in Belgium. This appointment once again confirms that Sergey Evgenievich Naryshkin, for whom the KGB was not an alien organization, had a certain relationship with foreign intelligence.
At the embassy, he was engaged in economic relations, in particular, he worked in a team that concluded an agreement on the receipt of international monetary assistance by Russia. In Brussels, Naryshkin worked until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Work at City Hall
In 1992, Sergey Naryshkin, whose biography is ascending, returns to Russia. He receives an invitation to work in the government of St. Petersburg. At that time, the “Sobchak team”, a certain team of young, promising, educated and progressive people, worked in the city hall of the Northern capital. Many large statesmen will come out of this company. For Naryshkin, getting into such a team was the key to a high start.
It is clear that it was not just people “from the street” who were invited to Sobchak, it is obvious that acquaintance with V. Putin played a role here. It took place at the end of the 80s at the St. Petersburg KGB school. Sergei Evgenievich came to the committee on economics, which was then headed by the now widely known Alexei Kudrin.
In Smolny, Naryshkin’s office was located near the workplace of Vice Mayor Vladimir Putin. At the city hall, Sergei Evgenievich impressed everyone with his elegant costumes and a very simple, but not familiar manner of communication. He was not lost in such a stellar team Sobchak and worthily worked in it for 3 years. During this period, he was able to make acquaintances, which would later become the key to his successful career.
But in St. Petersburg, not everyone enthusiastically accepted the transformations of the Sobchakov City Hall, there were often conflicts and scandals with various economic and political forces. Naryshkin has not yet claimed any role in politics.
Economic activity
In 1995, Sergey Naryshkin, whose biography gradually led him upstairs, leaves the city hall. He is invited to the Industrial Construction Bank by the owner, a good friend of V. Putin, Vladimir Kogan. Sergey Evgenievich occupies the chair of the head of the investment sector of this reputable financial institution.
Naryshkin himself never speaks about the reasons for leaving the city hall. But informed colleagues claim that he left for purely practical reasons. The bank had a significantly higher salary. And in the city hall, Naryshkin, because of his decency, could not extract large incomes.
With the advent of Naryshkin, the bank managed to get loans from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In 1996, he served on the Board of Directors of Philip Morris Izhora, the largest tobacco company. He worked in it until 2004. Economic activity allowed him to gain practical experience, which was later demanded when he returned to public service.
Work in the government of the Leningrad region
In 1997, a new head of the investment department, Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin, appeared in the government of the Leningrad region. The new appointment to the team of Vadim Gustov became for him another career step. Experts attribute this transition to the fact that Kogan Bank actively supported Gustov in the election of governor, and after the victory, Naryshkin became "his man" in the government. Although he continued to engage in his main, usual business - attracting investments.
A year later, he receives a promotion and becomes the chairman of the committee on foreign economic relations of the regional government. During his work in the region, such large investment projects as the construction of the Ford, Philip Morris, and Caterpillar Tosno plants were implemented.
Naryshkin actively used his established contacts in the Benelux. In particular, he oversaw the implementation of a joint project with the Dutch on growing vegetables in closed ground. After V. Gustov left his chair, Naryshkin was able to maintain his position under the new governor V. Serdyukov. He was the only employee from the old team to retain his place.
The secret of such unsinkability was the highest professionalism of Naryshkin. All the major investment projects that he led successfully worked and brought money. Serdyukov simply did not dare to destroy such a fruitful union of the government and foreign capital.
Administration of the President of the Russian Federation
In 2004, Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin, whose biography makes another leap up, receives an invitation to work in Moscow, in the Government of the Russian Federation. He was appointed deputy head of the economic department of the presidential administration by the head of this structure, Dmitry Medvedev. Having worked in this position for only a month, Naryshkin becomes deputy head of the presidential administration.
In autumn, the new Prime Minister M. Fradkov, whom Naryshkin was familiar with while still working in Belgium, appoints Sergey Evgenievich as the head of the Russian government apparatus in the rank of minister. The administrative reform fell on his shoulders, he solved the tasks of reducing the huge number of state bodies and optimizing the functional responsibilities of officials. Also, the minister was a member of the state, in several large joint-stock companies, such as Channel One, Rosneft, Sovcomflot and others.
In February 2007, Sergei Evgenievich received an additional appointment and became deputy prime minister of the Russian government, but also retained the post of head of administration. Now he is additionally engaged in foreign economic relations with the CIS countries.
In 2008, Dmitry Medvedev becomes President of the Russian Federation, he appoints Naryshkin as the head of his administration. Knowledgeable people, chuckling, said that Naryshkin should "keep an eye" on the young president. During this period, Sergey Evgenievich heads the Board of Directors of the United Shipbuilding Company, conducts several projects to reform the civil service, and to create a positive image of the Russian Federation abroad.
According to colleagues, under Naryshkin, the presidential apparatus turned into a well-functioning, well-functioning body. At the same time, the head of the administration did not participate in any clan showdowns and always positioned himself as a man of the “Putin reserve”.
The State Duma
In the 2011 election, the list of the United Russia party is led by Sergey Evgenievich Naryshkin. The State Duma of the 6th convocation became the new place of work of the statesman. At the very first parliamentary meeting, he was elected speaker of the lower house. 238 people out of 326 voted for him, that is, only the United Russia faction supported him, but this ensured the passage.
Naryshkin as the chairman of the State Duma was remembered as a non-conflict, calm and very friendly person. He was perceived by all as a member of the Putin team. By and large, his candidacy satisfied all political forces, which was very important after the turbulent unrest in Bolotnaya.
In 2012, Sergei Evgenievich was unanimously elected to the post of chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Russia and Belarus. In 2015, Naryshkin was included in the sanctions lists of America and Europe. The reason for this was his unconditional support for events in the Crimea in 2014.
Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich, the State Duma for which became the place of realization of all his diplomatic talents, successfully worked in the lower house for 4 years and went to the next election. In 2016, he again goes to the polls from "United Russia" and successfully passes into the Duma of the 7th convocation. However, he did not succeed in being a deputy, he immediately refused the mandate in connection with the new high appointment.
Foreign intelligence
In September 2016, the President of the Russian Federation appointed his loyal ally the head of the Foreign Intelligence Directorate. In political and journalistic circles, rumors have long been circulating that Sergei Evgenievich “sat up” in the Duma.
Political scientists say that as a speaker, he could not realize his full potential. And in 2015, everyone stubbornly expressed assumptions about where Naryshkin would move. But, to the surprise of many, he again went to the parliamentary elections from the Leningrad region and won them. But the conflict finally resolved, and Sergey Evgenievich Naryshkin, for whom foreign intelligence became a new appointment, moved to a new level in his career. He replaced at this post his old friend Mikhail Fradkov, who very highly appreciated the professional and personal qualities of Naryshkin.
Foreign intelligence is a specific institution with its own traditions and rules. Its unique leader was Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin. The military rank has always been compulsory for the person standing at the head of intelligence. But Naryshkin did not take the oath and remains a civilian leader. So far, he has not yet managed to prove himself in his new position, but the forecasts of specialists are optimistic. After all, Naryshkin has the necessary qualities and experience for this work.
Personal life
All acquaintances and friends unanimously argue that if monogamous exist in the world, then this is, of course, Sergey Evgenyevich Naryshkin. The wife of a statesman, Tatyana Sergeevna Yakubchik, was his classmate. The future head of foreign intelligence immediately noticed a thin, serious brunette from Belarus and seriously fell in love with her. The couple got married right after graduation.
The first years the young family lived quite modestly. A year after the wedding, the Naryshkins had a son, Andrei, and 10 years later, Veronika's daughter appeared. Tatyana Naryshkina, Ph.D. (IT), IT specialist, taught in her native Voenmeh before leaving for Moscow. Then she was engaged in different types of business.
The son of the former speaker Andrei lives in St. Petersburg, in the historical center, works as deputy director at CJSC Energoproekt. By the way, one of the founders of the company is Vadim Serdyukov, the son of the governor of the Leningrad region. Andrei is married, he has two daughters. He says that there is little interest in politics among him, so his father’s position has little effect on his life.
Naryshkin's daughter Veronika graduated from the Academy of National Economy. She, like her father, has been keen on swimming since childhood and today works as a coach in the Russian Federation of Swimming, has the title of master of sports.
Character and hobbies
Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich, a family for whom is a reliable rear and support, is known not only for his love of sports, but also as a big theater-goer. He regularly attends theater premieres, is friends with some actors.
Naryshkin also has a long-standing passion for bard song and music in general. He has been linked for many years by close friendship with singer Larisa Dolina. The character of Sergei Evgenievich is a mystery. In political circles he is known as a responsible and serious professional. But at the same time, everyone who gets to know him more closely notes his cheerful and light character, some artistry. Everyone speaks of him as an exceptionally decent and intelligent person.
