Viktor Khristenko: photo, biography and personal life

Attention

The territory of the village is well guarded by two private security companies, one of which was formed from former employees of the Federal Security Service. Fantasy Island gained fame during the demolition of the Rechnik village, which is located very close by.


Info

The fact is that the residents of Rechnik had all the rights to own their buildings, according to documents dated back to 1957.


And the inhabitants of the "Island of Fantasy" did not have such rights, but no one was going to touch them ... The Khristenko-Golikova couple acquired 218.6 square meters.
meters per "

Ostrov" in 2007. - I bought real estate in this village on the secondary market.

All rights to it are duly executed in the general manner and within the time limits established by law,” Khristenko conveyed through a representative. There is a big question with these rights.


The mansions are still legally registered as non-residential premises.

Viktor Khristenko, biography, news, photos!

The housing problem was very acute for almost eleven years of their life together.

Important

They lived in a three-room apartment with Viktor Borisovich's parents.


Three of their children were born there. They have two girls and a boy.

When the mayor of Chelyabinsk offered Khristenko to take the position of deputy chairman of the city executive committee, he agreed only on the condition that the family would be helped to solve the housing problem.

Two months later, his family moved into a two-room apartment with five of them. In 2003, Viktor Borisovich remarried. Tatyana Golikova became his chosen one. The main hobby of Khristenko, which he carried through his whole life, is photography.
He started doing it when he was a schoolboy. The son of Viktor Borisovich, Vladimir, is engaged in the pharmaceutical business. He was married to Eva Lanskaya, with whom there was a divorce. The trial and proceedings were widely discussed in the media.

The son of Viktor Khristenko preferred to become a bachelor in Moscow, and not in London

In the same 1998, he ended up in the Presidium of the Government of Russia.

Together with A. Chubais and E. Gaidar, Viktor Borisovich took part in the development of an anti-crisis program, but it did not bring the results that were expected from it.

High love of Tatyana Golikova and Viktor Khristenko

FLB: Minister Tatyana Golikova's "gentle" psyche does not seem to tolerate the entertainment of the plebs."

Sergei Mitrokhin, specially for the Sovershenno Sekretno newspaper Podsobka, with an area of ​​218.6 m2 swimming and fishing in the Tatar floodplain, on the "Island of Fantasy".

In medieval England, the gentlemen fenced off land, and the plebs who inhabited this land were unceremoniously thrown out so that no one bothered the sheep to pluck the grass.

Ordinary people were considered worse than cattle, and we have to admit that Russia is now at about the same stage in European history... There is a wonderful corner in Moscow, picturesque and also environmentally friendly, which can always be resold.

Native people: what do relatives of officials do

In 2004, the increase turned out to be more substantial (that year, Khristenko served as prime minister for 10 days, and then headed the Ministry of Industry and Energy) - one and a half million rubles.

A lot, but not enough for Fantasia! His declaration says nothing about the existence of a block of shares, although Khristenko was officially the state representative on the boards of directors of KAMAZ, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, Gazprom, Transneft, etc.

Maybe the purchase of the minister was paid for by his wife, also a minister, Tatyana Golikova? But the income of the head of the Ministry of Health is more modest than that of the Minister of Industry.

According to the declaration for 2008, she received a million less.

And before that, she was inferior to him in income: the tax base informs that in 2003 the official earned 692.653 rubles, in 2004 - 1.070.416 and further in the same spirit. Golikova’s declaration indicates the area of ​​​​the apartment - 142.4 square meters. meters.

ONLY IN PUTIN'S RUSSIA:

"It's strange, in civilized countries compromising evidence closes the way to power for politicians, in our country, on the contrary, it opens the door to any high offices, including the Kremlin."
"People say that a drinking mother is a grief for the family. And what can be said about the benefits for the country from the prime minister, who at any moment may be behind bars?"

VICTOR KHRISTENKO...

After the presidential elections, Viktor Khristenko is tipped to become prime minister. Since Putin's acquaintances in St. Petersburg are all special services and in cunning economic schemes - no boom-boom. A very convenient candidate, by the way, for the Kremlin. If he does something wrong - compromising evidence is on the table, he will be obedient - the Chelyabinsk criminal case on the Private Investment Protection Fund will still gather dust in some safe.

Viktor Khristenko is already a long-liver in the Russian cabinet of ministers. Until the spring of 1998, however, no one had heard of the modest vice-governor of the Chelyabinsk region. Why exactly he was invited by the youngest Russian Prime Minister Sergei Kiriyenko to the White House to oversee the entire huge financial bloc of the country is still a mystery. Maybe because together they grew up in the field of Komsomol commerce? Serezha Kiriyenko in the late 80s supervised the Nizhny Novgorod construction teams, and a graduate of the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute Vitya Khristenko organized the Komsomol system of NTTM in his native Chelyabinsk. Both from an early age learned the taste of easy cooperative money. They agreed, worked together, found a common language.

But Kiriyenko has long been gone from the White House, and Khristenko continues to serve as vice premier. The Komsomol businessman turned out to be not so simple? What is the secret of its unsinkability?

Do you remember how it all started?

Remember the famous "book" scandal? This is when Yeltsin dismissed a whole cohort of young reformers headed by Anatoly Chubais because they received fabulous fees for unwritten books. Painfully, these fees resembled bribes for "correctly" conducted privatization tenders and auctions.

Who do you think advised Anatoly Chubais and a group of high-ranking co-authors to earn more than one hundred thousand dollars each in the field of writing? According to our information, the idea of ​​this elegant income was suggested to the "Chicago boys" by none other than an inconspicuous provincial official Viktor Khristenko.

By the way, before joining the White House, Khristenko managed to work at Ilyinka. He came to Chubais's field of vision at the suggestion of his mentor from the time of joint work in the administration of the Chelyabinsk region, and now the country's chief tax officer Alexander Pochinok. It is said that Pochinok's financial well-being, which he proudly reported on all his tax returns, was largely based on the energy of a businesslike assistant. Apparently, Chubais appreciated these qualities of Khristenko and took him to Moscow for the post of Deputy Minister of Finance. Apparently, at the same time, Viktor Khristenko shared his "know-how" with Anatoly Borisovich.

The fact is that long before the "book" scandal in Moscow, a similar incident occurred in the South Urals with the future Deputy Prime Minister Khristenko. Back in 1996, in Chelyabinsk, a thin - only 88 pages - brochure with the catchy title "In Search of Missing Deposits" was published in 10,000 copies.(see cover): a kind of guide for investors who lost their money in the course of the active construction of financial pyramids. Under the nondescript cover, no less nondescript content was hidden - a collection of government orders and resolutions. Victor Khristenko proudly appeared in the list of authors and compilers of this work. Two of his co-authors are also notorious people in Chelyabinsk - Andrey Dementyev (he headed the regional branch of the federal commission for the securities market, and then moved to Moscow and works in Khristenko's office), and Oleg Khudyakov (direct head of the Private Investment Protection Fund, who also followed Khristenko in Moscow).

Only now it soon became clear that the regional Fund for the Protection of Private Investments had spent as much as 50 million budget rubles (non-denominated) on the publication of this miserable brochure. At the same time, it was printed in neighboring Yekaterinburg by the private publishing company "SV", although the Chelyabinsk "prose writers" had their own Press House at hand. Apparently, the authors really did not want Chelyabinsk to find out about the details of the publication of this work, especially about royalties.

By the way, according to the Fund's charter, the cost estimate for the publication of the book had to be approved by the board of trustees, but the book publishing decision was not made even by its board.

As it became known to us, 36.5 million were transferred to the firm "SV" for publishing services (see doc. 1, doc. 2). Although, according to the estimates of experts who perplexedly turn this "fundamental" work in their hands, 20 million rubles could have gone on paper, printing and other printing work.Where did the rest of the state funds go?

The authors-compilers could give an answer to this question, but they modestly kept silent. It is only known that the Fund's employees - from the chairman of the board to the typist - received a total of 7 million rubles in bonuses "for the creation and publication of a book" (O. Khudyakov, for example, 5 million rubles). In addition, deceived investors were offered to purchase a brochure for 2,000 rubles apiece. She did not use rush demand, but dispersed. And the 20 million rubles proceeds from the sale of the strange allowance were never received by the Fund's cash desk, and the brochure itself was not credited as the property of the Fund.

It turns out that the Kremlin "writers" who fell into disgrace are just pitiful plagiarists. It was not they who invented the method of earning money by "literary labor", but a modest deputy head of the provincial administration. Perhaps it was for this "estimate" that he later received the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government.

The police were checking the activities of the Chelyabinsk Private Investment Protection Fund, one of the founders of which was the administration of the Chelyabinsk region represented by the same Viktor Khristenko. The operatives dealt with the "book" episode in detail. In addition, it turned out that the fund was fattening on budget money from the free: of the 670 million rubles allocated from the state treasury, the deceived Mavrodi and other pyramid builders got half as compensation as compensation. The rest of the money just disappeared. That nevertheless did not prevent Khristenko from safely moving to Moscow for a promotion, where to this day for some reason he continues to feel invulnerable before the law.

Ideal Prime Minister

Today, Viktor Khristenko oversees in the government such tidbits of the real Russian economy as the fuel and energy complex and customs. Recently, he has been known as an uncompromising fighter for replenishing the state budget with petrodollars (it is the government commission on protective measures in foreign trade, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Khristenko, that now determines the mechanism for calculating all export duties) and a thunderstorm for all Russian oil magnates.

But if Khristenko succeeds in resisting the oil lobbyists, then for some reason domestic sugar producers turned out to be dearer to his heart. The other day, sugar dealers achieved restrictions on the import of raw sugar, since the Khristenko Commission decided in 2001 to introduce a tariff quota for the import of this product in the amount of 3.5 million tons per year (last year, for example, they imported about 6.5 million tons ). And the customs duty on raw sugar supplied within the quota will be 5% of its customs value, in excess of the quota - 30%, which is actually a prohibitive measure. Khristenko promised to sell quotas at auction.

The thought involuntarily creeps in, oil traders know nothing about the "bookish" compromising evidence on Khristenko, and therefore they are powerless to reduce their export duties, while domestic sugar refiners are aware of it, so they have amicable relations with the Deputy Prime Minister? And after the presidential elections, Viktor Khristenko is tipped to become prime minister. Since Putin's acquaintances in St. Petersburg are all special services and in cunning economic schemes - no boom-boom. A very convenient candidate, by the way, for the Kremlin. If he does something wrong - compromising evidence is on the table, he will be obedient - the Chelyabinsk criminal case on the Private Investment Protection Fund will still gather dust in some safe. It is strange that in civilized countries compromising evidence closes the way to power for politicians, in our country, on the contrary, it opens the door to any high offices, including those in the Kremlin. People say that a drinking mother is the grief of the family. And what can be said about the benefits for the country from the prime minister, who at any moment may be behind bars?

Victor Khristenko (date of birth - August 28, 1957) is a well-known Russian statesman of recent decades. Previously, he held senior positions in the government, today he leads the central governing body of the EAEU.

Amazing family story

Where did Viktor Khristenko start his life? His biography began in Chelyabinsk, but the family in which he was born has its own unique and noteworthy story. His father, Boris Nikolayevich, was born in Harbin, the capital of the Chinese Eastern Railway, in the family of a railway worker. In 1935, along with tens of thousands of other Harbin employees of the CER, the family of Boris Khristenko (parents and two sons) returned to the USSR. And then the same nightmare began, which was possible only in the country of victorious socialism. All Khristenkos were arrested, the father of the family was immediately shot, his mother was tortured in the camps, and Boris's brother went mad in the NKVD prison. Boris himself survived a ten-year term in the camps and was released only after the war. Already a pensioner, Boris Khristenko, at the request of his son Viktor, described his life ups and downs in which, although it was not published, it still had some circulation among the people with whom Viktor Khristenko communicated. She also fell into the hands of the famous screenwriter who, on its basis, wrote the script for the series “It all started in Harbin”. It is worth watching, because everything that is shown in it is not just pure truth, but an almost documentary retelling of the real life story of Boris Khristenko (they only changed his last name in the film).

Even more surprising is that the mother of Viktor Khristenko, Lyudmila Nikitichna, also comes from a family of repressed people: her father was shot, and she herself escaped arrest only because she was then only 14 years old. Such is the family history.

The beginning of the way

Could all these unusual circumstances have not affected the fate of such a well-known person in our country as Viktor Borisovich Khristenko? His biography, however, looks quite usual for a Soviet person born in the late 50s. First, a school, then the construction department of the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic University (by the way, his father, Boris Nikolaevich, was at that time an associate professor at this university).

Upon completion of his studies, Viktor was assigned to his native university, worked as an engineer at the department, studied in absentia at the graduate school of the Moscow Institute of Management, then became the head of the laboratory, taught and in the late 80s was already an assistant professor. So Victor Khristenko would have continued his path in the footsteps of his father, but changes broke out in the country.

The beginning of the state career

In 1990, a young scientist Khristenko Viktor Borisovich ran for election to the city council of Chelyabinsk and defeated his rivals. An educated and energetic specialist quickly moves up the career ladder, becomes a member of the presidium of the council, heads the commission to develop the concept of Chelyabinsk development. However, the time of "soviets" was already drawing to a close, and Viktor Khristenko was going to work in the executive branch - the city executive committee, where he dealt with the management of the city's property. After the collapse of the USSR, he was appointed deputy, then first deputy governor of the region. He does not waste time, he studies at the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation. Politically, he is an active supporter of Boris Yeltsin, heads the Our Home is Russia party in Chelyabinsk.

1996

Today, few people remember those events when the Russians decided who would become the president of the country - Yeltsin or Zyuganov. Khristenko Viktor Borisovich did everything in his power to ensure that the people of Chelyabinsk cast their votes for the re-election of the incumbent president for a second term. At the time, he was a confidant of Boris Yeltsin, actively spoke at rallies and meetings, campaigning for him. After the re-election of the president for the second line, Khristenko is appointed his plenipotentiary representative in the region.

Beginning of government career

In the summer of 1997, Khristenko moved to Moscow and held the position of Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation in the government. Crisis phenomena grew in the country, which in the spring of 1998 led to the resignation of Chernomyrdin and the formation of a new Cabinet under the leadership of the New Prime Minister, who, like Viktor Khristenko, only moved in 1997 to Moscow from the provinces (from Nizhny Novgorod), offered his peer the post of Deputy Prime Minister responsible for developing financial policy.

After the default in the Russian Federation and during the crisis that followed, Khristenko headed the government for a couple of months as acting. (so there is also a prime minister position in his biography!), until Yevgeny Primakov came there.

All prime ministers need a good specialist

The new prime minister did not expel the "valuable cadre" - he returned Khristenko to the post of deputy finance minister. Stepashin, who replaced Primakov eight months later, again offered him the post of First Deputy Prime Minister. Vladimir Putin, who soon sat down in the premier's chair, did not move him either. Kasyanov, who came after him, left Khristenko in the same position in which he had been until March 2004, when the government was left without a prime minister for half a month. And again, even if only for a couple of weeks, but Viktor Khristenko becomes acting. Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - the second time in his career.
