Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina - for 43 years the wife of Sergei Vadimovich Stepashin, a statesman, the most important person on the political Olympus of our country. She received an excellent education, is a brilliant banking employee and financier.
In 1976, a son was born to the Stepashins, who was named Vladimir. He followed in the footsteps of his mother and graduated from St. Petersburg Institute of Economics. The young man also studied at the law academy, after which he worked at Promstroibank (PSB).
The close relationship of Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina with VTB and PSB is a subject for active discussion of this topic in the media. Every now and then comes information about clannishness and continuity.
School, Institute
The wife of Sergei Vadimovich was born on January 21 in Uzbekistan, in the city of Fergana, in the family of an officer. The year was 1953, which turned out to be nothing particularly outstanding for the Ukrainian SSR, except that it became the year of birth of Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina, a talented financier, banker and, as it turned out later, a reliable and smart partner for a politician in life.
And indeed, the personal life of the Stepashins does not give rise to the "fried". These people are not "customers" of the yellow press. Their union is an example of a strong marriage, the couple have been married for many years, have not been convicted of treason and scandals.
School years Stepashina fell on the period from 1963 to 1970, studied at school number 16 of the city of Volsk in the Saratov region.
In 1974, the future banker graduated from Kazan State Financial Institute.
Childhood
Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina is the daughter of Hero of the Soviet Union Vladimir Mitrofanovich Ignatiev, a native of the village of Pruzhinki. The district secondary school bears his name.
Tamara Vladimirovna, mother, father and sister Natasha are the Ignatiev family in full force. Parents raised the girls in severity, but in great love.
Tamara Stepashina at one time released a book dedicated to her native village. There are only two similar books in Russia devoted to the school - this and the one dedicated to the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
In an interview with reporters, the economist admits that she loved her father madly and keeps all his notes and diaries, as well as awards. In the archive of Stepashina Tamara Vladimirovna - photos that they, together with dad, printed on the old German camera "Practice".
The sisters always studied well and graduated from music school. Tamara Vladimirovna recalls that the family was very happy, as great love, comfort, empathy and mutual assistance reigned in her.
In an interview, Tamara Vladimirovna often recalls their life in Germany, where her father served. It turns out that her dad was an avid hunter, and, according to her, brought home hares, and moose, and other prey, and her mother cooked delicious meat, whose smells spread throughout the main staircase of the house - then everyone knew that “Frau Maria” prepares wonderful dishes.
The Ignatyev family returned to Russia in 1963, and his father began to teach political economy and history at the Volsky Higher Military Rear School.
Father
Tamara and Natasha were always dad's daughters and, although they did not always manage to talk heart to heart with their father as much as they wanted, they looked at the world with his eyes. According to Tamara Vladimirovna, they always felt protected. Father's care was enough for the whole family - a family of four, grandmothers and all relatives. The father concentrated real male responsibility for relatives and relatives. Every year, the Ignatievs visited their native Pruzhinki and Donskoye - their grandmothers needed help. Stepashina said that her parents helped her mother’s relatives move to Volgograd, where they still live.
Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina recalls that it was father who always taught them and their sister not to be afraid of difficulties and any work, saying the sentence "Eyes are afraid, but their hands are doing." She says that it was his industriousness and decency, as well as responsibility for those who live and are close, and especially those who need help and support, who were transferred to him and his sister. Add to this the sense of justice, fidelity, love and respect for books.
According to Tamara Vladimirovna, her dad never just did nothing, indifferently. He put his soul into any action. Maybe this distinguishes the people of that generation from the modern inhabitants of the planet?
She says that he was always interested in everything, no matter what he undertook. Ignatiev’s house has always been a chalice and welcoming for guests.
My father was always full of energy for the family, for work, and for leisure, Tamara Vladimirovna Stepashina continues to share her memories.
According to her, Ignatyev Sr. was a real patriot of his Fatherland and sincerely believed that it was necessary to educate the spirit of patriotism in young people. He himself fulfilled this mission with pleasure and all responsibility whenever possible. He was a very demanding person both to himself and to others.
Tamara Vladimirovna confesses: "Thank God that my father did not find the collapse of the USSR."
