The beginning of a political career
For the first time entered the political arena of the city back in 1994 Tarasov Sergey Borisovich. The Governor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak favored a promising young politician. It was then that Tarasov was elected deputy to the first Legislative Assembly of the city. After 4 years, he was re-elected as a deputy. And already in 2000 he became the chairman of this Assembly. In 2002, the Admiralty District of St. Petersburg for the third time elected him a deputy. At this time, he becomes the coordinator and representative of the Mariinsky political faction.
Rapid gaining momentum in his career in 2003. He becomes the vice-governor of the city and, taking this post, Tarasov, successfully oversaw issues related to the development of sports, youth policy, education, culture, science and the media.
Fatal appointment
For a year, starting in 2008, he was a representative of the executive authority of St. Petersburg in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation. In the fall of 2008, Tarasov began working at the state-owned company Rosavtodor. He joined the supervisory board and became chairman of the board. Since the central office of the company was in Moscow, Sergey Borisovich spent all weekdays in the capital. And on the weekend he would definitely return to Petersburg, where he was waiting for his young wife, a ballerina. One of such trips along the Moscow-Peterburg route ended tragically for the ex-governor.
A random victim of a terrorist attack
On November 27, 2007, the terrible news was announced on television that train 166, called the Nevsky Express, crashed. Immediately a version was put forward that the crash occurred as a result of a terrorist act. Relatives of Tarasov were in relative calm, because it was known that he had a place in the first carriage, and in the news they showed that the last trains had gone off the rails.
The death of Sergei Borisovich became a fait accompli when it turned out that the numbering began with the tail of the express train and practically no one survived from the passengers of the car at number 1.
The situation was greatly complicated by the fact that the third wife of the politician, Anastasia Kolegova, was on tour in Japan at the same time. She could not be informed for a long time about the death of her husband, because her phone was turned off. On this night, all the world media broadcast footage from the scene of the tragedy, and on her first flight Anastasia returned to Petersburg to say goodbye to her husband, whom she had legally married with for no more than 2 months.
With all due honors, Tarasov was buried on December 1 at the Nikolsky Cemetery, which is located on the territory of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.
Personal life politician
With his third wife, the soloist of the Mariinsky Theater, Tarasov officially signed on October 10, 2009, although before that they had been in close relations for a long time.
Anastasia was much younger than Sergei, but this did not stop a couple of lovers. Seeing her performance in the theater, Tarasov looked after the girl for a long time, gave flowers and provided all kinds of signs of attention.
After the ballerina agreed with the policy, they managed to live together for a while. At first, Sergey was simply glad that the woman he loved was nearby and did not think about the official assurance of their relationship, especially since at that time he was still married to his previous wife. But it was Nastya who, over time, insisted on registration, and Sergey did not resist.
They decided to postpone the wedding in the church and perform the ceremony after several years of marriage. They played a wedding on October 10, and already on December 1 of the same year Tarasov was buried.
Children from previous marriages
With his second wife, Varvara Vladimirova, Sergey lived for almost 20 years. Being the daughter of the great actress Alice Freindlich and having an acting education, at one time for the sake of her husband and family, Barbara completely abandoned her career. The couple had two children: the eldest son Nikita, and daughter Anna. After the divorce, the couple remained in normal relations, and Barbara did not in any way interfere with communication between the father and children. In the first marriage, the politician had a daughter, Olga.
Nikita decided to connect his life with acting and studied at the Shchukin school. At this time, he lived with his father in his Moscow apartment. After the tragedy, the guy changed his place of residence, because he could not be where everything reminded him of the deceased. Nikita dropped out of school and wanted to connect his future life with politics, following the example of his father. But after some time, Nikita realized that politics was not a matter of his life and resumed his studies at the Moscow Art Theater.
Tarasov's daughter, Anna, completely inherited the character of her father. The girl is growing very purposeful. Now she is studying at the university at the faculty of international management. In the future, she dreams of becoming a good and strong manager.
