Biography

born into the family of Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel (07/09/1938-02/02/1995) and Larisa Vasilyevna Kiriyenko. Father is a graduate of Moscow State University, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, at various times he headed the departments of the Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) Institute of Water Transport Engineers (scientific communism (1980-1990), political science (1990-1992), humanities and social sciences (1992-1995 )).
Mother is a graduate of the Odessa Economic Institute.
- graduate of the famous Sochi secondary school No. 7.
He graduated from the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers in 1984 and the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation in 1993.
Member of the CPSU since 1984. From 1984 to 1986 he served in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the USSR.
He began his career as a foreman at the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard. In 1986-1991 - secretary of the Komsomol committee of the plant; First Secretary of the Gorky Regional Committee of the Komsomol. In March 1990, he was elected as a deputy of the Gorky Regional Council of People's Deputies.
In 1991-1997, he worked in the field of entrepreneurship, finance and business: General Director of the joint stock company Concern AMK; Chairman of the Board of the Bank "Garantiya"; President of the oil company NORSI-OIL.
In April 1997, Kiriyenko moved to work in Moscow, where his friend, First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov convinced the hesitant Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin to take the young Nizhny Novgorod businessman to a high position in the Ministry of Fuel and Energy. Chernomyrdin initially objected, citing Kiriyenko’s lack of government experience, but then, not wanting to argue over what seemed then an insignificant personnel issue, he gave in to Nemtsov’s pressure.
In 1997-1998, Kiriyenko was First Deputy Minister, Minister of Fuel and Energy of the Russian Federation.
On March 23, 1998, President Yeltsin appointed Kiriyenko as acting head of the Government after the resignation of the cabinet of Viktor Chernomyrdin. As it became known years later, on that day Yeltsin was choosing between General Andrei Nikolaev and Kiriyenko. As Yeltsin noted in his memoirs, as prime minister he needed a politician who was young, energetic and firm in reforms. After the first meeting, Yeltsin liked Kiriyenko’s thinking style - “even, tough, absolutely consistent.”

The Kiriyenko government and the 1998 default

From April to August 1998 - Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. The State Duma twice - on April 10 and 17, 1998 - refused to approve Kiriyenko as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. Only on April 24, after the third vote on his candidacy, Kiriyenko, with 251 votes (with a minimum of 226), was approved by the State Duma as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation (after the 3rd refusal, the President had the right to dissolve the Duma). On the same day, Yeltsin signed a Decree of the President of the Russian Federation appointing Kiriyenko as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.
By the time Kiriyenko was appointed in Russia, the financial pyramid of state short-term obligations (GKOs), launched under Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, was about to collapse. In a keynote speech before the State Duma, Kiriyenko said that “Russia has been dealt a heavy blow by the Asian financial crisis.” As a result of the crisis, world oil prices fell to the level of $10 per barrel with a further downward trend. The total volume of the annual state budget of Russia at that time was about 20 billion dollars, while the accumulated debt on wages in the Russian Federation was about 70 billion dollars, and the total external debt was about 170 billion dollars. The consequences of the Asian crisis have not yet become obvious to everyone in Russia, Kiriyenko warned, but the new prime minister estimated the inevitable losses of the federal budget at $30 billion. In fact, already in the first days of work, Kiriyenko discovered that the financial situation was much worse than he expected. There were not enough federal budget funds even to fulfill the state’s current obligations to state employees. There were no resources to pay off external debts at all.
When forming the government, the only noticeable change was a sharp reduction in the number of deputy prime ministers and the abolition of the positions of first deputy prime ministers. The portfolios of Deputy Prime Ministers were given to Boris Nemtsov, Oleg Sysuev and. There was also a left-wing politician in Kiriyenko’s cabinet: during the government reshuffle on July 22, 1998, Yuri Maslyukov, a representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, was appointed to the post of Minister of Industry and Trade. By this measure, the BBC believed, the Kiriyenko government did not gain anything in terms of professionalism, but it lost a loyal supporter of the conciliatory line in the State Duma. This step was taken by Kiriyenko for tactical reasons, in order to somehow absorb the inevitable criticism of the activities of his cabinet from the influential Duma faction of communists.
The main macroeconomic idea that was immediately discussed in Kiriyenko’s government was the devaluation of the ruble; its exchange rate at that time was about 6 rubles per dollar, which, in conditions of ultra-cheap oil, led to the rapid depletion of the state’s foreign exchange resources. With rubles that have become cheaper as a result of devaluation, it would be easier to pay off the domestic debt. However, in 1998, a heavy debt burden lay not only on the federal budget, but also on commercial banks. Devaluation would cause significant damage to their interests - with depreciated rubles, banks would not be able to purchase sufficient volumes of dollars to pay off external debts. Capital flight from Russia has accelerated. On July 20, 1998, the International Monetary Fund allocated a stabilization loan to the Russian Federation, the first tranche of which, worth $4.8 billion, arrived at the end of the month. However, its effect turned out to be short-lived. Yeltsin, who himself was never a strong economist and had little idea of ​​what was happening with the budget, was completely at a loss, was subject to various, often mutually exclusive, influences, but directed all his saving expectations to the young prime minister. In this situation, Kiriyenko proposed an anti-crisis program to the State Duma, the essence of which was to sharply reduce government spending. Two options were proposed for the deputies to choose from. Or, by an act of parliament, approve budget sequestration - a proportional reduction in its expenses for all or most items. Or - if the State Duma is not ready to take responsibility - allow the government to cut costs independently and at its own discretion.
The State Duma rejected the anti-crisis program of the Kiriyenko cabinet, without giving it additional prerogatives, and without offering any reasonable alternative. In the summer of 1998, President Yeltsin, irritated by the tough position of the Communist faction in the State Duma, had a spontaneous desire to issue a decree banning the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but Kiriyenko, who urgently arrived to him, was able to restrain the head of state from a hasty and risky decision. However, the government was unable to save on expenses, as a result, confidence in its creditworthiness decreased, Western investors frantically got rid of Russian securities, and the proceeds were urgently converted into dollars. The ruble exchange rate began to fall rapidly. Against the backdrop of the Russian authorities’ refusal of unpopular austerity measures, the IMF did not want to provide a second tranche of the loan. In early August 1998, due to the depreciation of Russian currency securities and the lack of demand for GKOs, commercial banks faced the threat of bankruptcy, and the private sector was unable to repay dollar loans. On August 14, the Russian foreign exchange market practically stopped. Kiriyenko was faced with a dilemma - either spend his last reserves, print unbacked rubles and thus pay off the holders of state bonds; or - devalue the ruble and suspend, at least partially, debt payments. In these circumstances, Kiriyenko chose to keep commercial banks afloat and save the state treasury from the inevitable ruin that would have been caused by paying off the state bonds.
For the first time in Russian history, Prime Minister Kiriyenko declared a default - a moratorium (temporary refusal) to pay debts. This measure affected both sovereign and private debts. Russian private borrowers were allowed not to pay debts to foreign creditors for 90 days. Kiriyenko himself subsequently admitted that he “made a bad decision, but only in order to avoid the worst.”
On Sunday, August 16, Kiriyenko informed President Yeltsin that the government accepted responsibility for what happened and was ready to resign. Then Yeltsin considered the resignation of Kiriyenko’s cabinet premature and invited him to continue working. The next day, Monday, August 17, 1998, a default was publicly announced in Russia, the ruble exchange rate collapsed almost 3 times, and by October 1 it dropped to 16 rubles per dollar. Panic began among the population, people rushed en masse to take deposits from banks, and then to exchange offices to buy hard currency for all the remaining cash rubles. Banks were unable to return deposits to everyone, and even at once. Exchange offices began to close due to lack of currency. Mass layoffs began at enterprises and organizations because there was no money to pay salaries. As Kiriyenko later admitted, when making the decision to default, he and his government colleagues did not foresee that there would be a psychological blow to the population such crushing force that will spread throughout society like this panic.
On Friday, August 21, 1998, all State Duma factions unanimously adopted a resolution of no confidence in the government and demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Kiriyenko. On the morning of Sunday, August 23, Yeltsin summoned Kiriyenko and announced his resignation. The ex-prime minister accepted the decision of the head of state with understanding and proposed appointing the head of the Federation Council, Yegor Stroev, as the new chairman of the government. Kiriyenko believed that the Communists would under no circumstances object to the former Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Stroev, and this would immediately reduce the degree of tension and panic in society. Yeltsin did not accept Kiriyenko’s recommendation and tried to return Chernomyrdin to the post of prime minister, but the State Duma twice rejected his candidacy. Not wanting a new confrontation with parliament and its possible dissolution, for the third time Yeltsin, under pressure from the parliamentary majority, ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs and political heavyweight Yevgeny Primakov to form a government.
In Primakov's government, Yeltsin offered the recently fired Kiriyenko the position of first deputy prime minister. Thus, Yeltsin tried to combine the experience of Primakov with the dynamism of Kiriyenko, whom the president considered a “talented and skillful” person. However, Kiriyenko refused, citing his lack of faith in the coalition government and the lack of a clear economic program for Primakov’s cabinet.
As a result of his activities at the head of the government, Kiriyenko, together with Boris Nemtsov and Anatoly Chubais, became known as a “young reformer” who tried to implement large-scale liberal economic reforms in Russia. The implementation of reforms was complicated by a sharp decline in oil export prices (currently down to $9 per barrel), which led to instability in the financial markets and an increase in the cost of servicing the Russian government debt.
The result of the default carried out by the Kiriyenko government was the liquidation of the GKO-OFZ pyramid and a reduction in government spending on debt servicing. At the same time, the default entailed a decline in production and household incomes, the loss of jobs by hundreds of thousands of citizens, an acute banking crisis, a surge in inflation, and a strong drop in the ruble exchange rate. The broadcast statement made by President Yeltsin on August 14, 1998, that is, three days before the default, when the head of state, with reference to the government, confidently guaranteed the Russians that there would be no devaluation, that everything had been calculated and was under control, did not have the best effect on Kiriyenko’s reputation. Subsequently, these “guarantees” were interpreted as deliberate misleading of citizens. A positive consequence of the sharp devaluation of the ruble was large-scale import substitution and an increase in the competitiveness of domestic production - which became obvious already under Primakov’s premiership. For a long time, people associated Kiriyenko’s four-month premiership with the crisis and upheaval of 1998, which gave the young reformer the nickname “Kinder Surprise.”

Further career

In 1999 - candidate for mayor of Moscow (11.2% of the vote, the second result after the re-elected Yuri Luzhkov), leader of the list of the Union of Right Forces in the elections to the State Duma. The list received 8 percent and was ranked fourth. On the eve of the elections, Kiriyenko, on behalf of the Union of Right Forces, met with Russian Prime Minister V.V. Putin and handed over to him the bloc’s program prepared before the elections.
In 1999-2000 - deputy of the State Duma. Leader of the Union of Right Forces faction in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
Since May 18, 2000 - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District.
Since 2001 - Chairman of the State Commission of the Russian Federation for Chemical Disarmament.
On November 14, 2005, he was dismissed from the post of plenipotentiary representative as a result of personnel changes carried out by the president.

Rosatom

On November 15, 2005, he was appointed head of the Federal Atomic Energy Agency of Russia (Rosatom).
On December 12, 2007, in connection with the reorganization, he was reappointed as General Director of the State Corporation Rosatom, created on the basis of the agency.
Acting State Advisor of the Russian Federation, 1st class (2000)
In 2010, in the ranking of top executives of the Kommersant newspaper, he took fifth place in the Electric Power Industry category.
In 2010, the income of the head of Rosatom amounted to 18 million rubles; in the year he ended his activities at Rosatom (2016), Kiriyenko was already earning about 5 million rubles a month.

Results of activities at Rosatom

In total, Kiriyenko worked at Rosatom for almost 11 years. Starting his activities in 2005, Kiriyenko set himself strategic goals - to build 40 new nuclear power units in Russia over 25 years and increase the share of nuclear power plants in the total electricity production in the country to 25%. In fact, by the time of Kiriyenko’s resignation in 2016, out of the planned 40 new power units, three had been put into operation - with a total capacity of 3.1 GW, including two power units at the Rostov NPP and one at the Kalinin NPP. Two more units with a total capacity of 2 GW are almost ready to be put into commercial operation - the third unit of the Beloyarsk NPP and the first unit of the Novovoronezh NPP-2. The share of nuclear energy in electricity generation in Russia in 2015 was 17% (versus 15% at the beginning of Kiriyenko’s activities in 2005), and the 25% he promised is still very far away. The total installed capacity of Russian nuclear power plants in 2015 is 26 GW. The annual output of nuclear power plants is about 190 billion kWh. This is a significant lag from the parameters set by the government program in 2006, according to which in 2015 it was necessary to reach 33 GW and 224 billion kWh. Russian budget expenditures on the development of nuclear energy in 2009-2014 amounted to 826 billion rubles (plus an initial property contribution to the state corporation of 450 billion). The total volume of planned budget financing for the period until 2020 is another 492 billion rubles.
Kiriyenko’s achievements as head of Rosatom include a significant reduction in the operating cost of electricity generation at nuclear power plants - to 60 kopecks per kWh in 2011. By 2015, this figure, however, increased again - to one ruble per kWh. Under Kiriyenko, the number of corporation personnel was optimized from more than 40,000 to 34,000 employees. By 2015, the number had grown again to 37,000 workers. Over 10 years, Kiriyenko managed to increase the utilization rate of the installed capacity of the nuclear power plant: the average load increased from 73% to 82%, due to which about half of the achieved increase in electricity generation was obtained. It was noted that Kiriyenko managed to partially solve the problem of ridding Russia of import dependence on uranium - mainly through the acquisition of foreign assets.
In general, according to the director of Energy Institute LLC Vladimir Milov, hundreds of billions of budget rubles were spent ineffectively at Rosatom. The “aggressive extension of the operation of very old power units”, practiced under Kiriyenko, was criticized - primarily for safety reasons. Severe problems were aggravated in the area of ​​the industrial base. Poor quality of construction led to the collapse of the reactor containment reinforcement at Leningrad NPP-2 in 2011. It was not easy to establish new production of reactor vessels. The Petrozavodskmash plant in Karelia, where the corporation planned to invest 80 million euros, turned out to be unsuitable for this purpose; two years later, having wasted funds, the project was closed. However, in October 2015, for the first time in many years, the Volgodonsk production association Atommash built and shipped a new VVER-1200 reactor for the Belarusian NPP under construction. The shortage of domestic machine-building base for the construction of reactors is one of the main limiting factors in the modernization of nuclear energy in Russia.
Under Kiriyenko, a significant potential for increasing nuclear capacity in Russia was never created. By 2025, about 12 GW of nuclear power plant capacity will have to be decommissioned. Another minus 5 GW are units built in the 1980s, which must be decommissioned due to the end of their standard service life. New projects, which were launched under Kiriyenko, will theoretically be able to bring only 9 GW of power until 2025. These are the first and second units of the Kola NPP-2, the Leningrad NPP-2, the 2nd unit of the Novovoronezh NPP, the 5th and 6th units of the Kursk NPP, the 4th unit of the Beloyarsk NPP and the 4th unit of the Rostov NPP. Even taking into account these promising facilities, the balance of commissioning and retirement of nuclear capacity is predicted to be negative, and the share of nuclear companies in the energy market will ultimately decrease. A total capacity of about 15 GW can be generated by five new nuclear power plants planned by Kiriyenko - Nizhny Novgorod, Baltic, Tver, Seversk, Smolensk NPP-2; however, their construction has not yet even begun. The plans approved by Kiriyenko for the completion of already started nuclear power plants may not be implemented due to the reduction in the capacity of the federal budget due to unfavorable conditions in the hydrocarbon market. It was decided to save on nuclear energy; in the 2016 federal budget, expenses for the industry were reduced by 48%, and further reductions are planned in the 2017 budget. In this regard, the commissioning dates for new nuclear power plants will inevitably be delayed, which will aggravate the negative balance of capacity input-output for the period until 2025. Thus, in the foreseeable future, a reduction in the share of nuclear power plants in the Russian electricity market is expected.
The plans outlined by Kiriyenko, which were not implemented for a number of objective and subjective reasons, fit into the trend of nuclear energy losing popularity on the planet. Its share in global primary energy production decreased by 2 times in the 21st century: if in 2000 it was 8%, then in 2015 it was only 4%. Unfavorable attitudes towards nuclear energy intensified in 2011, after the accident in Japan at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. The energy produced at nuclear power plants has a high cost: not so much in terms of current production costs, but in terms of capital costs. The global trend was that the rate of resource depletion of nuclear power reactors built in the second half of the 20th century was significantly faster than the rate of construction and commissioning of new nuclear power plants. The actual cost of building a nuclear power plant in Russia under Kiriyenko was about $3,800 per kilowatt - this is extremely expensive, 2 times higher than building a nuclear power plant in China, and almost five times more expensive than building gas power plants in Russia. All these circumstances were not properly taken into account by Kiriyenko when justifying federal investments.
During the years of Kiriyenko’s work, with the participation of Russian nuclear scientists, the construction and commissioning of the nuclear power plant in Bushehr (2010-2011) was completed - the first nuclear power plant in Iran and the entire Middle East. In addition, with the participation of Rosatom, three reactors were commissioned in China and two reactors in India. The construction of another 30 power units in different countries of the world continues. The total price of Rosatom's portfolio of international contracts formed under Kiriyenko is more than $100 billion until 2025.
Director of the Institute for the Safe Development of Nuclear Energy, Academician Leonid Bolshov, assessed Kiriyenko’s work at the head of Rosatom as successful if we compare it with the previous period of development of the industry (when Russian nuclear scientists were clear outsiders in the global technology market) and the work of similar foreign enterprises. According to this assessment, the corporation effectively solved problems that were important for Russia. The expert called the main elements of Kiriyenko’s successful strategy a focus on high-tech exports, the rise of nuclear engineering, the development of applied science and strict security. Over the 11 years of the industry’s operation under Kiriyenko in Russia, not a single emergency incident with a rating of two points or higher on the international seven-point INES scale has occurred at nuclear power plants.

Activities in the Administration of President Putin

After Vyacheslav Volodin moved to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the fall of 2016, where he became speaker of the seventh convocation, a vacancy became available for the first deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration. Kiriyenko was appointed to this post on October 5, 2016; the parallel position of another first deputy head of the Presidential Administration has been held for many years by Putin’s former press secretary Alexei Gromov, known for his conservative, retrograde views. When making the appointment, Kiriyenko’s solid government experience and impressive track record were taken into account; it was he who, as Prime Minister in 1998, introduced a new leader to the team of the Russian Federation. Experts noted that Kiriyenko’s previous closeness to liberal circles also played an important role in the appointment (in the 1990s he was a friend and ally of Boris Nemtsov). Political scientist Abbas Gallyamov described Kiriyenko as an official who “clearly does not fit into the ideological mainstream of recent years,” whose appointment indicates that the Kremlin has begun to search for alternative paths. The beginning of Kiriyenko’s activities in his new post was marked by a series of meetings with political strategists and leaders of the expert community. The upcoming next Russian presidential elections in 2018 were discussed. Kiriyenko faced a dilemma: against the backdrop of the aging and loss of prospects of Putin’s historical rivals - Zyuganov and Zhirinovsky, and the minimal ratings of Mironov and Yavlinsky - to guarantee the outcome of the elections with a given result (70%), but at the same time to ensure the appearance of political competition.
Kiriyenko’s sphere of activity in the presidential administration (after sharing powers with Gromov) included the internal political bloc, which includes elections at all levels, interaction with political parties, public organizations, and youth. Kiriyenko is subordinate to the internal management and public projects management; he oversees online publications and social networks. According to Bloomberg experts, Kiriyenko will head Putin’s campaign headquarters in the 2018 presidential elections.
In November 2016, Kiriyenko joined in the discussion of the growing problem in Russia of the attack of censorship and moralizing on freedom of creativity, gathering together with the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky the artistic directors of the largest theaters in Moscow and St. Petersburg. This theme was sympathetically reflected in President Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly on December 1, 2016, prepared with the participation of Kiriyenko, and in the speech the next day by the head of state at a meeting with cultural figures in St. Petersburg.
Since December 27, 2016 - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom.
In February 2017, the press became aware of the practice of Kiriyenko speaking at unannounced briefings in the Kremlin in front of a pool of trusted media and on condition of anonymity. The pool of trusted media includes 10 publications, namely the Dozhd TV channel, the newspapers Vedomosti, Kommersant, Rosbusinessconsulting, MK, Izvestia, Komsomolskaya Pravda, the online newspaper Gazeta.ru, news agencies RIA Novosti and TASS . In messages from closed briefings, Kiriyenko is referred to as a “source in the Kremlin,” “a source close to the Russian Presidential Administration,” “a high-ranking federal official,” and the like. The technology for disseminating information from Kiriyenko’s closed briefings involves prohibitions on reporting about the briefing, the exact source of information, requirements for journalists to make notes “more varied” and publish them in measured portions, so as not to arouse suspicion in society. According to this scheme, which was accepted for execution by all the mentioned publications, Kiriyenko’s information was disseminated about the transfer of St. Isaac’s Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church without the consent of Putin, the situation with the resignations of governors, and a possible scheme for the election campaign for the presidential elections in Russia in 2018.

Personal life

Married in his first marriage, he tied family ties in his third year. Wife - Maria Vladislavovna Kiriyenko (before marriage - Aistova). Children - Vladimir (born 1983), Lyubov (born 1992), Nadezhda (born 2002).
Vladimir Kiriyenko in 2008-2011 served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nizhegorodpromstroybank, from 2011 to 2016 - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nizhny Novgorod Capital LLC. At the end of September 2016, he was appointed to the position of Senior Vice President of Rostelecom, where he will be responsible for corporate marketing, coordination of commercial activities of the operator’s macro-branches and new areas of business development. He is a co-founder of Titanium Investments, a company engaged in investing in venture projects, with an initial capital of $47.8 million, owns a power plant in the Vladimir region and projects in Moscow and the Moscow region (with shares from 5% to 20%).
- holder of the fourth dan in Aikido. He is engaged in shooting, sport hunting and fishing. Diver.

Style

Describing Kiriyenko’s professional and human style of behavior, various experts note his constant correctness, politeness and courtesy - both in relations with supporters and political opponents; both in conflict situations and with officials of different ranks. Despite the fact that since the 1990s, Kiriyenko has long been well acquainted with Vladimir Putin, for a certain period of time in 1998 he was higher than him in the state hierarchy and in an informal setting still communicates with him on a first-name basis, jealous moments never arose between Putin and Kiriyenko, notes the head of the Petersburgskaya Foundation, Mikhail Vinogradov. This is largely due to the fact that already since 1999, when Putin headed the Russian government, Kiriyenko immediately positioned himself as a subordinate, disciplined civil servant. Since 2005, as a leader at Rosatom, Kiriyenko has primarily promoted the company, not himself. Kiriyenko and Putin are also similar in their interest in eastern martial arts. All these circumstances are associated with the successful continuation of Kiriyenko’s career after his resignation from the post of head of Rosatom in 2016, when he was actually tasked with organizing the 2018 presidential campaign as the first deputy head of the Kremlin administration. A characteristic feature of Kiriyenko’s personnel style when receiving a new post is the involvement of colleagues with whom he worked in previous places.

Activities in the field of culture and sports

In 2005, he was elected Chairman of the National Aikido Council of Russia (President of the Aikido Federation “Aikikai of Russia”). Since its founding in 2005, he has been co-chairman of the Russian Union of Martial Arts (together with Yu. P. Trutnev).
In 1998, he took part in the award ceremony for the online literature competition “Teneta”; in 1999, he was among the organizers of the “Unofficial Moscow” arts festival.
Since 2012, he has been the executive director of the Coordination Committee for the promotion of social, educational, cultural and other initiatives under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church.

What motivates Ros(otk)atom

The reason for the appeal was the seizure of the company by the former general director of Russian Drilling Company Alexey Bukanov and his accomplices - Vitaly Ten, Vladimir Zimin, Vitaly Pataretsky, Andrey Shvalev and Khasan Giyaskhodzhaev. Conflict in a drilling company created in 2005 with funds from a foreign investor and for three years, from 2011 to 2013. considered the largest in Russia, began precisely from the moment when Bukanov lost his post as general director. When leaving RBC, they took with them seals and corporate documentation, and in October 2013 they stole equipment and machinery worth $4 million from the company’s warehouses (according to the criminal case opened on this fact, “removal” should be interpreted as “theft”).

Sergei Kiriyenko has over-promoted himself

Deputies are concerned about Rosatom's excessive spending on positive media

When a particular topic is kept silent, as they say, “until the last moment,” the very first materials on it that break through the veil of silence produce an amazing effect. This is what happened with the topic at the Rosatom state corporation, which was touched upon in a recent sensational publication. After the publication of certain (most harmless!) excerpts from an analytical note circulating on the Internet, the problem, according to rumors, became interested in the problem at the highest government level.

Sergei Kiriyenko (not to be confused with the author of books Sergei Ivanovich Kiriyenko) is an entrepreneur and politician. Former Director General of Rosatom, as well as Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Sergei Vladilenovich’s track record includes many notable awards, including the Anatoly Koni Medal and the Order of Honor.

Childhood and youth

Sergei Vladilenovich Kirienko was born on July 26, 1962 in the largest Abkhaz city of Sukhumi. The future politician grew up and was brought up in an exemplary family. Sergei’s father, Vladilen Yakovlevich, is a professor, defended his doctorate in philosophy, and at one time headed various departments of the Volga State University of Water Transport.

His wife Larisa Vasilievna and part-time mother of Sergei is an economist by training, studied in Odessa. It is known that Sergei Kiriyenko spent his childhood in the city of Gorky, which is currently called Nizhny Novgorod.

Sergei’s parents began to be friends from adolescence and even studied at the same school. But as fate would have it, Vladilen Yakovlevich and Larisa Vasilievna decided to take different paths. Ultimately, in the early 70s, the couple decided to file for divorce. Sergei’s father remained to work in Gorky, and Larisa Vasilievna moved to Sochi with the boy.

In this sunny city, which is located on the Black Sea coast, Seryozha entered the prestigious school No. 7 and pleased his parent with good grades in his diary. But, having received a certificate of secondary education, the young man decided to return to Gorky and apply to the Institute of Water Transport Engineers. When the guy turned 22, he became a certified shipbuilder and set off on a free voyage.

Sergei proved himself to the teachers as a diligent student who absorbs all lectures like a sponge and does not miss classes, so the university leaders insisted that the guy enter graduate school. But the obstinate young man wanted to quickly establish himself in life, so he went to work at a factory, and in 1984 he reached conscription age and went to serve in the army.

At the same time, Sergei Kiriyenko followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, a prominent communist activist, and joined the ranks of the CPSU. For two years, Sergei Vladilenovich showed courage and bravery in the air force near the city of Nikolaev, and in 1986 he returned to civilian life. After demobilization, Kiriyenko began his career as a foreman at a shipbuilding plant, and then climbed the career ladder and became secretary of the Gorky Regional Committee of the Komsomol.

Policy

Sergei Vladilenovich, whose character is dominated by leadership qualities, is not used to resting on his laurels. Therefore, it is not surprising that Kiriyenko, at the age of 28, sat in the deputy seat of the Gorky Regional Council.

However, at that time the country was going through hard times; perestroika began in the second half of the 80s, and 1991 was marked by the dissolution of the Komsomol. But Sergei Vladilenovich shared the ideology of the party and after its abolition, he kept the party card as a keepsake.

Sergei Kiriyenko connected his life with entrepreneurship and finance, entered the Academy of National Economy under the President of the Russian Federation, and in 1993 became a highly qualified manager. Thus, Sergei Vladilenovich served as the general director of JSC Concern AMK, was the chairman of the Garantia bank and headed the oil company NORSI-OIL.

Then the businessman moved to the very heart of Russia. It is noteworthy that Sergei Kiriyenko and the politician had friendly relations, so Boris Efimovich persuaded him to pay attention to the ambitious Nizhny Novgorod entrepreneur.

Initially, Viktor Stepanovich did not want to consider Kiriyenko as a candidate for a position in the Ministry of Fuel and Energy, citing the fact that Sergei Vladilenovich had no government experience. But Chernomyrdin could not resist Nemtsov’s pressure, as a result of which he yielded to his colleague. In 1988, a new stage began in the biography of Sergei Vladilenovich: he appointed him acting head of government, describing the entrepreneur as a purposeful and consistent employee.

But again, in his new post, Sergei Vladilenovich had to face difficulties, because at that time the economy in Russia was collapsing. Kiriyenko needed to carry out a series of liberal reforms, but since the financial pyramid of state short-term obligations was literally hanging by a thread, and oil prices increased several times, the country declared a default.

Sergei Kiriyenko did not remain in his new post for long; after five days, Boris Nikolayevich dismissed him. But Sergei Vladilenovich’s career does not end there. The politician did not give up and in 1999 ran for mayor of Moscow, but lost. Then he became a State Duma deputy on the list of the Union of Right Forces party, but a year later he resigned.

In 2005, Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko was appointed head of Rosatom (Federal Atomic Energy Agency). In 2007, as a result of reorganization, he became general director. This government organization is responsible for institutes and research centers, nuclear power plants in Russia, export of nuclear materials and fuel, construction of nuclear power plants abroad, etc.

Sergei Vladilenovich worked at Rosatom for 11 years. During his work, he set strategic goals, reduced the cost of electricity generation, optimized the number of personnel, and increased the utilization rate of the installed capacity of nuclear power plants.

However, not everyone found Kiriyenko’s activities productive: Vladimir Milov said that Sergei Vladilenovich spent billions of rubles ineffectively. It was also criticized that Kiriyenko extended the operation of old power units, which contradicted safety regulations.

Personal life

Journalists know that Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko, whose height is 170 cm, is an exemplary family man. While still a Sochi schoolboy, he met his future chosen one, Maria Aistova. By the way, Kiriyenko’s wife has nothing to do with politics; the woman has connected her life with medicine and works as a pediatrician. The couple raised three children: son Vladimir (1983), and daughters Lyubov (1992) and Nadya (2002).

Vladimir Sergeevich followed his father’s example and started doing business; he led large companies - Capital LLC, Rostelecom. Also subordinate to him is the power plant of the Vladimir region, a tourist camp, utility companies, elevators, and so on.

In his free time from work, Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko leads an active and healthy lifestyle. The politician spends his energy on sports, among his favorites are the martial art of Aikido (he has a fourth dan) and exciting scuba diving. Sometimes Kiriyenko goes hunting or fishing with friends.

Friends and colleagues described this person as the most correct and polite, even in conflict situations. According to rumors, he has known Vladimir Putin for a long time, so he addresses the President of the Russian Federation on a first-name basis.

Sergei Kiriyenko now

In 2016, Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko was removed from the post of Director General of Rosatom, but joined the supervisory board. Also in 2016, Sergei Vladilenovich began working in the Administration of the President of Russia.

According to rumors, in 2017, Kiriyenko spoke at unannounced briefings in the Kremlin to journalists, on condition of anonymity. Moreover, in the newspapers he was referred to as a “source in the Kremlin”, “high-ranking official”, etc. It is also known that the politician began to engage in charity work - the fight against childhood cancer.

Achievements

• 1998 – Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation
• 1999-2000 - State Duma deputy
• 2000 - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District
• 2001 - Chairman of the State Commission of the Russian Federation for Chemical Disarmament
• 2005-2016 – General Director of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom
• 2016 – First Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation

Let's not forget (and won't forgive) the fact that Sergei Kiriyenko is a typical turncoat, traitor, defector, Judas.

Everything that is happening now with internal Russian lawlessness is also on his conscience. After all, it was he who was recently appointed to the position of first deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, responsible for “domestic policy.” He is a regional nonentity, who, unfortunately, was pulled out by the scruff of the neck by Boris Nemtsov. He has been an unlisted member of the CPSU since 1984. He is the leader of the “Union of Right Forces” faction (!!!) in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in 1999-2000. His - whose party affiliation consists of two lines: the Union of Right Forces and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. His - at the birth of Sergei Vladilenovich Izraitel, the son of Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel, who was embarrassed by his surname and took the surname of his mother, Larisa Vasilyevna Kiriyenko.

Sergei Vladilenovich Izraitel-Kiriyenko loves to make money, regardless of party affiliation.

In total, Kiriyenko worked at Rosatom for almost 11 years. Starting this activity in 2005, Kiriyenko set himself a strategic goal (about the same as Rogozin) - to build 40 new nuclear power units in Russia. In fact, by the time Kiriyenko resigned from Rosatom in 2016, out of the planned 40 new power units, three had been put into operation - that is, only 7.5% of the “planned” ones. Russian budget expenditures on the development of nuclear energy in 2009-2014 amounted to 826 billion rubles (plus an initial property contribution to the state corporation of 450 billion). The total volume of planned budget financing for the period until 2020 is another 492 billion rubles. But the presidential administration promised more. The hand of Izraitel-Kiriyenko on the handle of this saw will not tremble.

On March 26, more than 1,000 people were detained in Moscow - people walking peacefully through the city. A wave of detentions and arrests swept across a dozen time zones, from Kaliningrad to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

For the third year, Sergei Izraitel-Kiriyenko’s boss, Vladimir Putin, has been sabotaging the investigation and trial of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, Izraitel-Kiriyenko’s political mentor. Sergei Vladilenovich Izraitel-Kiriyenko happily participates in this criminal, state and official crime.

This lawlessness is, among other things, led by turncoat, traitor, defector, Judas Sergei Vladilenovich Izraitel-Kiriyenko, who is now 54 years old, and who will still have time to serve a very long term for his numerous crimes.

On the contrary, his father did not have time to serve time for his communist deeds, and was not even lustrated. Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel headed the department of scientific communism at the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers. When the USSR collapsed, he changed his shoes mid-flight, renaming his department of scientific communism to the department of “political science.” It must have been hard for him to die in 1995, realizing the complete worthlessness of his life. Doctor of Philosophy, professor, head of the department of scientific communism at the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers, damn.

Sergei Vladilenovich Izraitel-Kiriyenko is exactly the same. Aspen trees will not produce oranges. Smart-assed nit.

On October 5, former Russian Prime Minister and Rosatom General Director Sergei Kiriyenko was appointed First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration. Earlier about the appointment of Kiriyenko.

The post of first deputy head of the presidential administration is not the first surprise in the career of Sergei Kiriyenko. Just as unexpectedly, he was appointed both the Prime Minister of Russia and the head of the nuclear industry. How Kiriyenko's career developed - in the RBC photo gallery.

In April 1998, after the resignation of the cabinet of Viktor Chernomyrdin, President Boris Yeltsin (pictured right) submitted to the State Duma the candidacy of a little-known 35-year-old Deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy for approval as head of the Russian government. The Duma twice refused to agree to Kiriyenko’s approval and only voted for his candidacy the third time.

Yeltsin on the appointment of Kiriyenko:

“I approached his candidacy by elimination. But now I see clearly: it was not for nothing that he seemed to me the most promising from the very beginning. In a conversation with Sergei, I was struck by his style of thinking - even, tough, absolutely consistent. A very tenacious and efficient mind. Attentive eyes behind round glasses. Extreme correctness, lack of emotions. Consistency in everything. There is something about him from an excellent graduate student. But this is not Gaidar, an armchair scientist and revolutionary democrat. This is a different generation, a different bone - a manager, director, young manager. A true technocratic prime minister! What the country needs now...” (From the book “Presidential Marathon”, 2000)

Kiriyenko led the government for the shortest term of all those who held this position. Four months after his appointment, Kiriyenko announced the state's inability to service its loan obligations. The consequence of the default was the collapse of the ruble exchange rate. From the moment the default was declared until the end of 1998, the ruble exchange rate against the dollar increased from 6 to 21 rubles. Simultaneously with the devaluation, there was an explosive rise in prices. Over four months (November to July 1998), prices for food products increased by 63%, for non-food products - by 85%.

As a result of the economic crisis of 1998, Russia's external debt grew to $220 billion. Taking into account the internal debt of various government bodies to public sector employees and enterprises for wages and government orders, total liabilities exceeded $300 billion, or 200% of GDP. Kiriyenko's government was dismissed.

Another notable event that occurred during the short time of Kiriyenko’s premiership was the appointment of Vladimir Putin as director of the FSB. Putin previously held the position of first deputy of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation, to which he has now appointed Kiriyenko. Introducing the new chief of the Federal Service, Kiriyenko called Putin a “real intelligence officer,” expressing the opinion that he will be able to organize the fight against economic crimes.

In December 1998, Sergei Kiriyenko founded the New Force movement, which he positioned as an organization of a “liberal-conservative” orientation. In the summer of 1999, New Force co-founded the democratic coalition Union of Right Forces (SPS) to participate in the 1999 Duma elections. Other co-founders of the coalition were the movements of Boris Nemtsov (pictured right), Irina Khakamada (on the picture) and several other liberal organizations.

The SPS went to the elections under the slogan “Putin for president, Kiriyenko for the State Duma. We need young people!” The coalition received 8.52% of the votes in the elections and formed a faction in the State Duma. At the same time, Kiriyenko took part in the elections for the mayor of Moscow, relying on harsh criticism of the current head of the city, Yuri Luzhkov. Kiriyenko took second place out of eight candidates in these elections, gaining 11.3% of the vote. In the 2000 presidential elections, Kiriyenko supported Vladimir Putin, and the Union of Right Forces did not field its own candidate.

Sergei Kiriyenko about his political views

“I directly appeal to people: don’t be afraid to speak up! Otherwise, the system of clans, the system of voicelessness and monopoly on power may, after the presidential elections, spread to the whole of Russia - and Russia will turn into a state of fear. And it will be much more difficult to argue with him than it is today.” (From an interview with Moscow News, June 1999)

In May 2000, Kiriyenko resigned his parliamentary mandate, becoming the plenipotentiary representative of the president in the Volga Federal District. Five years later, he was appointed head of the Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), which in 2007 became the state corporation Rosatom. The appointment to the agency that manages the nuclear industry took place against the backdrop of a scandal surrounding ex-Minister of Energy Yevgeny Adamov. He had recently been arrested in Switzerland at the request of the United States. Adamov was accused of embezzling $9 million allocated by the American government to improve security systems at Russian nuclear facilities.

Boris Nemtsov on Kiriyenko's appointment to Rosatom

“In principle, this is a dangerous business for corruption. There are two problems there: the first is that this is a very closed place, for obvious reasons - they are engaged in plutonium, uranium production... It is clear that all this should be closed, but, on the other hand, there are billions of dollars in turnover there. And the task of any person who heads this department is to make its work transparent, so as not to repeat the fate of Adamov. He is a qualified person, but the system itself, where everything is closed, where billions of dollars flow, generates theft. This is a difficult task, but it seems to me that the experience that Kiriyenko has is sufficient to cope with this task.” (From an interview with the Nizhny Novgorod agency NTA, November 2005)

Having headed Rosatom, Kiriyenko initiated the process of optimizing the department’s work. Preparation of the reform took two years. In 2007, President Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law “On the Peculiarities of Management and Disposal of Property and Shares of Organizations Operating in the Field of Nuclear Energy Use, and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation.” The document made it possible to begin deep restructuring and corporatization in the nuclear industry. The main goal of the new law was to “separate” the military and civilian tasks of the nuclear industry. The peaceful atom had to further develop according to the laws of the market.

Kiriyenko is considered the main author of the idea of ​​uniting all the main companies in the industry into a single state concern. At the beginning of 2007, the state holding Atomenergoprom was formed, which included, among other things, the main producer of uranium fuel TVEL and the uranium exporter Techsnabexport (according to the plan, by the end of 2007 the holding was supposed to unite 55 corporatized federal state unitary enterprises of the “civilian” part of the nuclear industry). Kiriyenko believed that all companies of the holding should enter the State Corporation Rosatom, but the heads of industry enterprises did not always agree with him. As a result, the general director of the state company Techsnabexport, Vladimir Smirnov, and acting. Head of TVEL Anton Badenkov.

Director of the Energy Development Fund Sergei Pikin about changes in Rosatom

“Previously, Rosatom was the operating organization of nuclear power plants and carried out separate projects in China, Iran and Bulgaria. Kiriyenko took the company to another level. If you look at all Russian energy companies in a broad sense - not only energy, but also oil and gas, then it is Rosatom that over the past ten years has achieved great success in terms of revenue, order portfolio and entry into the international arena, having increased its order portfolio many times over. The company has long-term financial planning and has established production of its engineering products.”

In October 2007, Rosatom, under the leadership of Kiriyenko, won one of its first victories - Techsnabexport won a lawsuit in American court against the US Department of Commerce, challenging the legality of anti-dumping duties on the import of Russian-made low-enriched uranium into the US. In 2016, TVEL managed to enter the American fuel market by signing a contract with Global Nuclear Fuel Americas (an American company operating a nuclear power plant) for the pilot operation of Russian nuclear fuel TVS-Kvadrat for light water reactors (PWR).

Sergei Kiriyenko about the values ​​and strategy of Rosatom

“You must always be one step ahead of not only competitors, but also consumers. Try to understand what the consumer will need tomorrow, even if he doesn’t understand it himself now. In addition, they must be one step ahead of themselves, understand what they need to become tomorrow in order to be competitive. When we talk about efficiency, we mean not only money, but also time. There are no processes that cannot be optimized.”

One of the achievements of Kiriyenko and his team as head of the Atomic Energy Agency is the unfreezing of negotiations on the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran. The completion of the station was in question, including for political reasons, but in 2011 the first power unit was launched in test mode and connected to the Iranian power grid. In 2016, concrete pouring began for the second power unit of the station.

Also, under Kiriyenko, units No. 1 and No. 2 of the Tianwan NPP (China, 2007) were launched, and the first unit of the Kudankulam NPP (India, 2013) was commissioned. For the last station, an agreement was signed for the construction of the third and fourth power units.

Nuclear safety specialist Dmitry Kovchegin about Kiriyenko’s methods

“When Kiriyenko came, the industry began to introduce a KPI system, which did not always contribute to nuclear safety. The priority was profit, and from time to time this negatively affected nuclear safety issues. Priorities were not always set properly. In such a sensitive industry, nuclear safety issues should always be a priority, and sacrificing them in the name of profit is dangerous... When Kiriyenko came to Rosatom, he began to bring his people, who, in turn, brought their own. This new guard of effective managers could not always find common ground with the old guard. Kiriyenko is a person who can understand the topic. During these 11 years, he mastered the problems of the nuclear industry. The question is that the people he brought don’t have that attitude.”

Currently, the Rosatom state corporation has a foreign portfolio of 36 nuclear power unit projects, ranking first in the world in this indicator. The portfolio of foreign orders for a ten-year period at the end of 2015 amounted to $110.3 billion.

Another priority area of ​​Rosatom’s activities is the implementation of a joint project with Roscosmos to create a transport and energy module based on a megawatt-class nuclear power plant. The new development should expand the possibilities of space exploration, in particular, create devices for flights and the creation of bases on the Moon and planets of the solar system. In 2018, Rosatom promised to present a prototype nuclear reactor for a space propulsion system.

Sergei Kiriyenko about the flight to Mars

“A power plant with a nuclear engine makes it possible to reach Mars in one to one and a half months, providing the ability to maneuver and accelerate. Using a conventional engine, a flight to Mars would take about a year and a half without the possibility of returning.” (Quote from RIA Novosti, March 2016)

Kiriyenko calls martial arts his main hobby. According to him, he tried various types of martial arts from karate to judo, but in the end he chose aikido. He has 4th dan in this type of martial arts, and since 2005 he has been the president of the Aikido Federation “Aikikai of Russia”.

Sergei Kiriyenko about the philosophy of Aikido

“Peace is harmony, and if you are in harmony with yourself and in harmony with the world, then you are invincible. Any aggressor violates the harmony of the world, which means that it is enough to turn his aggression against himself for balance to be restored and goodness to triumph.” (From an interview with Arguments of the Week, October 2013)

On September 24, 2016, RBC sources in the Kremlin and the Russian government named Sergei Kiriyenko as the main contender for the post of first deputy head of the presidential administration, which became vacant after Vyacheslav Volodin left the State Duma.

Former colleagues about Kiriyenko's return to politics

Minister of Economy in Kiriyenko's government Yakov Urinson:

“He is a very highly qualified specialist, well educated, with a very broad outlook. I can’t even believe that such a person can be appointed to a high position in our time. He is absolutely independent as a manager, capable of making decisions independently and defending his opinions, which he very convincingly showed during his time in the government.”

Kiriyenko’s colleague in the Union of Right Forces, Irina Khakamada:

The “Union of Right Forces” was able to win in a short time in 1999 not because Nemtsov and Khakamada were famous; half of the victory was due to the organizational abilities of Kiriyenko himself. He is a manager of the highest class, he organizes anything. As for ideology, he is, of course, devoted to power. It is close to the concept of the “Russian world”, only taking into account modern phenomena. Kiriyenko is not a fundamentalist, but all these ideas are close to him. No one in the presidential administration can be independent - everything depends on Putin. There is another boss above Kiriyenko - Vaino (head of the presidential administration). But judging by Vaino’s published scientific works and the ideas Kiriyenko adheres to, they will quickly find a common language.”

Biography of the former Russian Prime Minister Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko, at first glance, crystal transparent and clean.

Smart Jewish boy.

His parents, however, divorced at the most critical moment of his maturation.

From Sochi, where I had to change my last name (from Israelite on Kiriyenko) and finish his studies at school, for some reason he returns to Nizhny Novgorod.

Enters the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers: his father headed the philosophy department there Vladilen Izraitel.

Colleagues of the former prime minister's dad remember Izraitele-senior with extreme respect. He, in their opinion, was a very, very gifted person, “whose ability to think strategically, calculating many moves ahead, was simply unique.”

Make a brilliant career for your father Kiriyenko in the Soviet years, only the 5th point interfered.

38 year old Vladilen Izraitel defended his doctoral dissertation at Moscow State University and in his specialization was a political scientist rather than a philosopher. But such science did not exist in Soviet universities

During the years of perestroika, professor Israelite one of the first in Russia to develop political technologies for elections and created two original “strategies for holding elections in a country in transition.”

In the early 90s, under his leadership, two PR firms were already working in full swing - “Pragma” and “Delo”.

When the future prime minister graduated from college with straight A's, his father, as an experienced image maker, advised him to “move into production,” believing that his son would achieve more in management than in science.

And so it happened. First there was a very short run in the blue robe of the foreman of the welding team at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant, where nuclear submarines were uniquely riveted, then soaring in the starched shirt of the released secretary of the factory Komsomol cell. Two or three more swings - and Kiriyenko gently promoted to the chair of the 2nd secretary of the not the smallest Gorky regional committee of the Komsomol in the country, from where he directed construction teams and other commercial activities of young people.

Israeli citizenship of a young reformer

I would be alive Israelite- the eldest, he probably would have advised his son not to start the political career of a Russian young reformer by accepting Israeli citizenship.

But there was no one to give the aspiring politician wise advice.

What happened, happened.

The branch of the Israeli Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Holon (a suburb of Tel Aviv) confirmed to us that Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko, born in 1962, had Israeli citizenship, and the corresponding certificate was issued to him there.

But after a noisy scandal in the press regarding the Israeli citizenship of the Secretary of the Security Council Boris Berezovsky the future minister and prime minister decided to follow the example of BAB and renounced Israeli citizenship.

It's interesting that Kiriyenko was just one of many politicians who did this after the “birch” demarche.

Among the most famous “refuseniks” were A. Chubais, B. Nemtsov, Y. Urinson, E. Yasin, A. Lifshits.

However, the procedure for obtaining Israeli citizenship, as well as renouncing it, is very simple. To do this, at any Israeli embassy or consulate, it is enough to fill out a standard form indicating the reason for the refusal. Under Israeli law, citizenship can also be easily restored. Moreover, at a recent meeting of the board of the Jewish Agency Sokhnut, in particular, the need to re-grant (award?) Israeli citizenship to former leading Russian politicians was discussed, if necessary. It is unknown what decision they came to.

So what country is he currently a citizen of? Sergey Vladilenovich- The devil himself doesn’t know.

Jewish fraud with pensioners' money

A legend still circulates in Nizhny Novgorod: all the commercial successes of the ex-premier were explained by the fact that in the early 90s Kiriyenko, as a Komsomol businessman, received a considerable part of the notorious “party gold”.

To, so to speak, develop the emerging youth initiative. However, the first of those organized by Sergei Kiriyenko companies, only it was called mysteriously - “AMK”. The beautiful abbreviation simply stands for - Joint-Stock Youth Concern. And the business was even simpler - the concern sold corn flakes, shoes and other shuttle consumer goods. One day, however, one of the guards stole several boxes of shoes from Komsomol members. No other scams were found in the history of the company, nor, indeed, any traces of the party’s billions. It was different. Unexpectedly for everyone Kiriyenko ascended to the position of head of one of the largest banks in Nizhny Novgorod. Heading the Nizhny Novgorod bank "Garantiya" Sergei Kiriyenko with the help of the governor Boris Nemtsov developed and implemented a unique scheme for transferring pension money throughout the Nizhny Novgorod region. As a result, almost 2 trillion pension rubles flowed through the Garantiya bank by the mid-90s. Months-long delays in pensions and the hungry fainting of old women did not bother the young reformers. And by the time we move Kiriyenko in Moscow, his bank owed the state and pensioners more than 540 billion rubles.

Gangster connections of a smart Jew

It was hardly possible to pull off such a scam without a reliable bandit “roof.” And, apparently, the young banker had such a “roof”. Among the founders of the Garantiya bank was the Republican Social and Commercial Bank. His leaders and close friends of Sergei Kiriyenko V. Nenadyshin (who was a member of the supervisory board of the Garantiya bank) and V. Trifonov were very closely associated with the Orekhovskaya criminal group, led by the legendary Sylvester.

This friendship was suddenly interrupted when Sylvester was blown up. And the death of the leader of the Orekhov bandits occurred precisely in the Mercedes 600 that belonged to Trifonov. And what specifically connected Kiriyenko with Sylvester - we will never know now. But there is little doubt that there was a connection.

Jewish inventor of scams

The archives of the Committee of the Russian Federation on Patents and Trademarks preserved a curious document dated December 17, 1997: “Description of the invention of a device for conducting an instant lottery “Stop on Time” for the patent of the Russian Federation.”

An invention so necessary in the national economy was made back in 1988. Ivanov Sergei Leonidovich And Kirienko Sergei Vladilenovich. About the first inventor - a small businessman - we only managed to find out that he was the founder of two companies in Nizhny Novgorod.

And the second is a former Russian prime minister!

They checked - exactly. Invented by ex-prime minister Kiriyenko The “Stop on Time” lottery was one of hundreds of varieties of “washer” lotteries that flourished in the post-Soviet space.

True, there were some innovations: the essence of the invention, outlined Kiriyenko in the patent application was that the player sees the number of zeros due to him if he wins the amount.

According to the inventors, this was supposed to excite gambling citizens more than usual and “significantly increase the consumer and economic effect of using such lotteries.”

• In fact, “wash” lotteries or “scratch” lotteries, as they are called in the West, are the same thimbles, - Colonel G., a leading expert on the taxation of gambling, an employee of the Moscow Tax Police Department, told us - In both cases, absolutely nothing depends on the player. If a normal lottery is based on luck, then in “washers” and thimbles the principle is the same - the person who spins the ball or prints the tickets always wins 100%. It’s not for nothing that such lotteries are called “scams”. Without exception, all the “washing machines” that the Moscow tax police had to deal with were absolutely unwinnable. The playing area of ​​the ticket was filled with ink in the same printing house where the ticket itself was printed, and therefore it was almost impossible to control the prize fund.
• According to the law, 50% of the proceeds from ticket sales should go to prizes and not be taxed, the tax policeman continued to educate us, but it is almost impossible to verify this. Well, we can’t put our people in all the printing houses where they print tickets! And the accounting documentation is in complete order, although no one has ever seen the big prizes. There is a reinforced concrete explanation for this - people are unlucky so far. I’m not even talking about printing the “left” circulation: well, try to check whether they issued 100,000 tickets, as they said, or 200! They sell them on the streets. The tax police believe that 99% of “wash” lotteries are disposable. The scam scheme is simple: first they get a patent for an invention, then a license, print several million cards, which are quickly sold on the streets, and the organizing company calmly packs up and moves to another large city - until the next lottery.

By the way, according to the information we have from the Department of Finance of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, in Nizhny and the region there are licenses to conduct Kiriyenko The whole lottery was not even given out.

And the company “Nizhny Novgorod Directorate of Lotteries”, which organized the “Stop on Time” game, did not register in Nizhny.

And when asked directly whether we had ever encountered honest “washers,” the tax police chose not to answer us. They say that there are no such statistics. It’s not for nothing that private “scratch” lotteries are prohibited in the United States. Fraud has long been discovered there, and only state authorities have the right to organize such games under the constant supervision of the FBI.

By the way, a forgotten interest Sergei Vladilenovich was awakened to gambling when he was prime minister. For many years now our government has been trying to increase the taxation of gambling establishments, otherwise they grow like mushrooms after rain, but the real revenue from the casinos to the treasury has been lost.

All premieres before and after Kiriyenko They advocated for a fivefold increase in “gambling” taxes and for strict control over this super profitable business.

And only Sergei Vladilenovich the owners of gambling establishments found understanding.

All Jewish oligarchs start with oil trading

Speaking from the Duma rostrum, the youngest Russian prime minister confidently laid out the country's economy on neat shelves, and just as confidently outlined the route that we will all take after the August crisis.

In Nizhny, however, about managerial talents Kiriyenko It’s not customary to say anything.

Detractors, for example, attributed the successes of the local bank "Garantia", which was headed Kiriyenko, about the Nizhny Novgorod vice-governor Yuri Lebedev: his wife held the post of vice president at Garantiya.

Failed Kiriyenko to get the oil company Norsey Oil out of its debt hole. Until now, this company, which is based on a powerful oil refinery, remains in debt to the budget and crude oil supply companies billions of rubles.

However, the current prime minister still solved the problem of debt at the local level. True, it’s quite peculiar. Norsi, for example, owed money to the company V.K. Import-Export" for crude oil supplied back in 1996. And in response - silence and no oil products worth 40 million dollars. All I could do Sergey Vladilenovich- this is to hold something like a Komsomol meeting with debtor creditors and invite them to wait with their debts for five years, or even better, ten.

Also later Sergey Vladilenovich dealt with the depositors of all well-known Russian systemically important banks, using the technique of complete default, tested on Norsi creditors.

Oil scam Kiriyenko

Another story is told in Nizhny. Not trusting their own managers too much, or perhaps believing that technical progress is in itself, and no one has yet canceled folk traditions, Sergey Kiriyenko, when he was an oil king, he turned to the “astral” for help, and, what is most surprising, he received this help.

At Northea Oil, as we found out, a whole team of psychics worked, and several offices were filled with horoscopes, textbooks on black magic and other carefully selected items for contact with otherworldly forces.

Ruthlessly exploited psychics increased the “yield of light petroleum products in distillation units.”

For the uninitiated, the process looked simple: psychics, having made all the necessary passes, bent over a diagram of an oil refinery drawn on paper, concentrating cosmic rays around the distillation units and expelling the bad aura of competitors. That's all.

Especially for skeptic-technocrats, they even announced the results of attracting cosmic energy: the processing of light and more expensive fractions from the same volume of oil itself increased by 3%.

Considering that Norsey-Oil processes millions of tons of raw materials per year, the increase was substantial. Oil suppliers and owners of aviation gasoline and diesel fuel produced from it (Solidex, Goskomresurs companies) in the abilities of the “astral brigade” Kiriyenko They were convinced, without a doubt they signed the corresponding contracts and transferred large sums to psychics “for the development” of their unique abilities.

We don’t know how much money the sorcerers then “rolled back” to the management of Norse-Oil from their fees. We couldn't believe our ears at first. But they still made inquiries. And vice president of Norsi-Oil for technical development Stepan Glinchak gave us some amazing news:

“In order to increase production efficiency, the company was developing a technique for using extrasensory potential.”

This somewhat extravagant project, according to him, “is in the stage of scientific development and has not yet brought tangible results.” But Glinchak I am sure that the future lies with him.

Who took the initiative to use psychics in oil refining? - we asked a direct question to the innovator.

I supervise the technical development of production, which means the initiative belongs to me. A Sergey Vladilenovich Kirienko never rejected unconventional approaches, and treated this project with understanding. Moreover, without his permission such a large project could not take place.

Tell us in more detail about the lives and achievements of the psychics working for Norsi Glinchak refused, explaining that the theories of the development of otherworldly forces are so complex that it is simply pointless to explain them to the uninitiated. And, alas, we will never be able to comprehend the secret meaning of the signals that space transmits directly to the Norsey Oil office.

However, some experts in the field of oil refining, with whom we later consulted, dispelled our doubts. According to them, the result was the following: not a single oil refinery can do without non-accounting, and Norsey was no different from others in this; unaccounted for petroleum products were usually formed using various technological tricks; the resulting tons of petroleum products had to be somehow legalized; in the past, this was done simply - all records of crude oil supplies were burned; with the advent of audits and tax authorities, such crude operations had to be abandoned, and it is quite possible that the younger generation of Norsey Oil managers, led by Kiriyenko just invented a more elegant way.

And what can happen to Moscow, which the ex-prime minister, who is inclined to turn a blind eye to gambling and paranormal scams on a large scale, is now so zealously striving to govern - we will leave it to Muscovite readers to decide. I really don’t want the city hall offices to be filled with astrologers and psychics soon so that the Moscow budget can be calculated Sergei Vladilenovich according to the stars, and the influence of the poltergeist on the payment of salaries to state employees has increased. However, salaries under the mayor Kiriyenko, most likely, they will simply play the “Stop on Time” lottery.
