Biography

Sergei Kiriyenko was born on July 26, 1962 in Sukhumi. Father - Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel, graduated from Moscow State University (later Doctor of Philosophy, Professor and Head of Department at the Nizhny Novgorod Institute), mother - Larisa Vasilievna Kiriyenko - Odessa Institute of Economics.

Member of the CPSU since 1984.

S. Kiriyenko is a graduate of the well-known Sochi secondary school No. 7. In 1984 he graduated from the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers (where his father headed the department) and the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation in 1993.

He began his career as a foreman at the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard after serving in the Soviet Army in 1986.

In 1987-1991 - Secretary of the Komsomol Committee of the plant; Secretary of the Gorky Regional Committee of the Komsomol.

In 1991-1997, he worked in the field of entrepreneurship, finance and business: President of the AMK Concern Joint Stock Company; Chairman of the Board of Bank Garantiya; President of the oil company "NORSI-OIL".

In 1997-1998 - First Deputy Minister, Minister of Fuel and Energy of the Russian Federation.

1998: Chairman of the government of Russia

From April to August 1998 - Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. Kiriyenko was appointed acting head of the government after the resignation of Viktor Chernomyrdin's cabinet. The State Duma twice - on April 10 and April 17, 1998 - refused to agree to the confirmation of Kiriyenko as Prime Minister. Only on April 24, 1998, after the third vote on his candidacy, Kiriyenko was approved by the State Duma with 251 votes as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. On the same day, Yeltsin signed a Presidential Decree appointing Kiriyenko Prime Minister.

During the formation of the government, the only noticeable change was a sharp reduction in the number of deputy prime ministers and the abolition of the posts of First Deputy Prime Ministers. Boris Nemtsov, Oleg Sysuev and Viktor Khristenko received the positions of Deputy Prime Ministers. A certain sensation was the appointment during the reshuffle in the Government on July 22, 1998, the representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Yuri Maslyukov, to the post of Minister of Industry and Trade.

Kiriyenko, along with Boris Nemtsov and Anatoly Chubais, became known as a "young reformer" who tried to implement large-scale liberal economic reforms in Russia. In the course of the reforms, a policy of borrowing in the foreign market was actively pursued, including with the help of IMF loans, because of which the state debt increased by $22 billion [source not specified 373 days].

In August 1998, Kiriyenko's cabinet stopped paying GKO-OFZ coupons, which led to the devaluation of the ruble and the financial crisis. After the default of 1998, he resigned, which was immediately accepted by the president on August 23, 1998, making Kiriyenko's government one of the most short-lived in Russian history.

1999: Candidate for mayor of Moscow, deputy of the State Duma

“The state is well aware of the importance and significance of the IT industry. Moreover, it proceeds from the fact that this industry is the locomotive of the economic development of the country as a whole,” the news agency quotes him as saying.

The official mentioned "special support measures" that the authorities are ready to offer the IT industry due to its specifics. One of these measures is the extension until 2023 of benefits on contributions to the Wage Fund - payments were halved. At the moment, ministries and departments are discussing the introduction of a 50% subsidy for interest rates on loans.

Kiriyenko also noted that the Russian IT market is still open to foreign companies if they comply with the law. The authorities have no plans to restrict the market for law-abiding foreign players, he said.

What Sergei Kiriyenko discussed at a meeting with the Internet industry

On November 21, 2018, Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia, discussed the pressing problems of the industry at a meeting with the Internet industry. This was the first event of its kind since taking over the curatorship of the industry. Director Sergei Petrov became the moderator.

For the first acquaintance, the form of a business breakfast was chosen, which made it possible to create a trusting atmosphere during discussions on rather sensitive topics. In the question-answer format, we managed to discuss benefits for IT companies, attitudes towards network neutrality, and the inadmissibility of market monopolization by large platforms.

A heated discussion was caused by a question asked by Anna Serebryanikova, MegaFon's COO for self-regulation of the big data market. The issue of regulation has been raised many times. Sergei Kiriyenko expressed his position that the state is not trying to impose development paths, striving for understandable and transparent rules. And the most working rules are those that the participants themselves have developed. As an example, he cited the anti-piracy agreement, which was recently signed by Yandex, Mail.ru, Rambler and copyright holders from among the largest media holdings.

Self-regulation was discussed when the gaming industry suggested addressing the public and media bias against computer games as potentially dangerous entertainment. According to Kiriyenko, game developers and distributors could start by uniting and developing rules for interaction, age marking of game content, and increasing the transparency of the industry. The First Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation asked to think about what kind of support measures the gaming industry needs in order for games from Russia to become world leaders.

The First Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of Russia called on IT specialists to participate in the Leaders of Russia competition in order to share their competencies with the authorities. In his opinion, business has gone ahead in many development issues, and in order for the state to match the pace of development of the Internet industry, competent specialists should come to the civil service. He also invited businesses to participate more actively in the program of retraining state and municipal employees in digital competencies.


During the meeting, the editor-in-chief of TAdviser Alexander Levashov made a proposal to organize a training program for journalists in the field of information technology. Sergei Kiriyenko supported the idea and made a counter-proposal about the need to develop knowledge in this area among press service employees.

Concluding the meeting, the director of the Internet Development Institute, the moderator of the meeting, Sergey Petrov, recalled the anniversary date of the .RU domain zone and proposed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Runet in April 2019 at the state level. Sergei Kiriyenko supported the initiative, noting that he was waiting for proposals for the Organizing Committee of the anniversary, and given the role of the Internet and the success of the industry, he suggested that the opportunity to award the founders should be considered»

Many well-known politicians of our time have a rather difficult fate. They have to combine the main activity and the family. Such a well-known figure in politics as Sergei Kiriyenko only confirms this trend. Family and work are very closely intertwined with him. To get to know such a famous figure, you need to study some of the features of his life. So, let's look at his biography.

Main Important Points

This person is a well-known figure in the political sphere. In 1998 Kiriyenko Sergei Vladilenovich was recognized as the youngest head of government. He was appointed to this important position at the age of 35. After finishing government work, he successfully headed the well-known enterprise RosAtom. Relatively recently, Sergei Kiriyenko received a new appointment on the recommendation of the head of state in the personal Presidential Administration. This is a significant career success, journalists say.

The current place where Sergei Kiriyenko works is the presidential administration. His position is First Deputy Administration of the Russian Federation.

Politician's early childhood

He was born in 1962 in the sunny city of Sukhumi, in Abkhazia. The politician came from a Jewish family. His father was an intelligent man, taught at a local university, was an active scientist, had a doctorate in philosophy. Sergey's mother was Ukrainian by nationality. She had an economic education. Then the family moved to the resort town of Sochi. Then they settled in Nizhny Novgorod. Due to the divorce of his parents, little Serezha was forced to return with his mother to the Black Sea resort town. After the official divorce, the mother took her maiden name. She has changed with Sergei himself.

Youth policy

In the city of Sochi, he meets Maria Aistova, with whom he was lucky to study together. But this friendship does not end in school years. After receiving a certificate, Sergey enters Nizhny Novgorod as a water transport engineer. Maria chooses a medical school as her place of study. After graduating from college, their tender friendship ends in marriage. Having married, Maria does not stop her studies. Then she goes to medical school.

In 1983, the first-born of Sergei, Vladimir, was born in this family. At this moment, the happy father and loving spouse successfully completes his studies at the university, joins the ranks of the Communist Party. At the time of joining the party, he was 22 years old. This was considered a successful career start. After receiving a high school diploma, Sergei is sent to the service, where he served in the Air Force near the Ukrainian city of Nikolaev from 1984 to 1986. Like the famous grandfather Yakov (from his father's side), Sergei Kiriyenko was sincerely devoted to the party, retaining his former ticket after the liquidation of the USSR.

Doing Business

Despite the difficult times of perestroika, the life of the future politician took a slightly different direction.

After the official dissolution of the Komsomol activists, he was dismissed from the post of secretary of the regional committee, discovered a new direction in life - entrepreneurial activity. At first, he headed the then-famous AMK Concern, which was founded back in the 80s. In 1993, after the official presentation of a diploma, Sergey Kiriyenko was appointed to the post of chairman of the board of the popular Garantiya bank. His biography at that time takes on a political connotation. Active managerial activity was not in vain. He was noticed in government circles. An invitation was received to become an adviser to the president on industrial issues and business affairs. With the support of Boris Nemtsov, Sergei Vladilenovich was the head of the large NORSI-Oil company for a short period of his life.

Government activities

Kirienok managed to work in this company for a little less than a year, when he was appointed Deputy Minister of the Fuel and Energy Sectors. Soon enough, he was successful. He was appointed fuel minister. In 1998, Sergei was recognized as a young prime minister. Sergei did not manage to lead the government at the best of times: a sharp drop in oil prices and a number of other negative factors forced him to default. After his announcement, the politician is dismissed.

The beginning of a political career

Despite this sad state of affairs, Sergei did not give up. In 1999, he put forward his own candidacy for the post of the capital's mayor.

By the number of votes collected, he lost the desired place only to Luzhkov. But other good news awaited him: election to the State Duma deputies. Kiriyenko became the leader of the SPS faction. Having proved himself well as a leader and manager, Sergey was appointed as a representative of the President in the Volga Federal District. A year later, he changed jobs. Sergei received the post of head of the commission on chemical disarmament.

Family life politics

Despite the rare mention of the politician's family, it plays an important role in his development.

The legal wife of Sergei, Maria Vladislavovna, a native of the resort town of Sochi, after graduating from a medical institute, works as a doctor. In 1997, she discovered and mastered a new direction in medicine - a phytotherapist. Children of Kirienko Sergei Vladilenovich:

  • The eldest son is Vladimir, born in 1983, a big businessman.
  • The middle daughter - Lyubov, born in 1990, works as a manager.
  • The youngest daughter - Nadezhda, born in 2000, studies at one of the capital's schools.

Family is especially important to Sergey. After all, she acts as an important support for him, brightening up the dullness of political everyday life.

In addition to conducting active political activities, Sergei prefers sports. He is actively engaged in aikido, enjoys scuba diving, goes hunting and fishing. The work does not prevent him from taking an active public position in the field of culture, information and education.

Financial position

As you know, the current position of Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko is First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration. This status indicates a decent income of this figure.

In addition, Sergey's parallel activities as the head of RosAtom brought good remuneration. After being appointed to a new position by presidential decree, Sergei was forced to leave his position as the manager of RosAtom. According to Kiriyenko's declaration, filed in 2014, the value of his capital is 69.5 million rubles, where the salary from the main position accounts for 56.5 million rubles. These are solid figures. Today Sergey is among the dollar millionaires. According to the newspaper "Kommersant", Kiriyenko Sergey Vladilenovich is in the fifth place of honor among the most productive leaders of the country.

At the end of 2013, the Rosatom enterprise, which he successfully manages, reached a new profit level of 155,200 million rubles, which is mostly the merit of the head. It should be noted that the eldest son of Sergei, Vladimir, is also a significant figure in domestic entrepreneurship. He owns his own successful business, consisting of several well-known companies. Sergei's son is in charge of an operating power plant in Vladimir, is a co-owner of a large Sarovbusinessbank. He also distinguished himself and showed himself as a leader with a good side. The rest of the children and the wife of the politician do not conduct any entrepreneurial activity, and therefore do not have significant income. His wife Maria receives the usual average salary of a doctor - 30 thousand rubles. A successful politician and faithful husband, Sergei was able to provide his own life for himself and his descendants with his honest work.

So, we examined the biography of Sergei Vladilenovich Kirienko and his life activities.

Serezha Izraitel was born on June 26, 1962 in the city of Sukhumi in the family of a talented scientist Vladilen Izraitel and Larisa Kiriyenko. Later, having moved to Gorky, the future prime minister graduated from high school with honors. But by the end of his studies, Serezha turned from Izraitel into Kiriyenko. The secret of this transformation was revealed to us by Tatiana Kesler, who lived for many years in the same yard with the Izraiteley-Kiriyenko family: “I have known Serezha for a long time. We lived in neighboring entrances. "The future prime minister was a pronounced favorite of everyone already in childhood. However, in the 70th year a very unpleasant incident occurred: Serezha was only eight years old when his father Vladilen Izraitel left his family and went to his young employee. Larisa was very worried about her husband's betrayal and even Serezha changed her surname to Kiriyenko.

In 1979, Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko entered the Academy of Water Transport, where his fugitive father Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel continued to head the department, who, feeling guilty towards his son, actively promoted Seryozha in all institute instances.

We managed to talk with a former classmate of student Sergei Kiriyenko Olga Bessmertnaya: "Sergei was a very prominent and handsome young man. He always sat on the first desk and looked into the teacher's mouth. He studied amazingly - there was not a single four. We liked him very much girls, but he was even and calm. He did not have strong hobbies. " No less interesting was the information that the rector of the Academy, Vasily Zakharov, told us: “I was also the rector at the time when the future prime minister studied with us. Seryozha was a Lenin scholarship holder and Komsomol leader. Unfortunately, he did not use his mental data, but all went to Komsomol work. His father, who headed our department, contributed to his promotion at the university. A very smart man and Serezha actively helped. Izrael Sr. was a Jew, but I don’t give a damn about his nationality, the main thing is that the person be good. I didn’t drink vodka with his dad, but we had a warm relationship.

After graduating with honors from the Volga Academy of Water Transport in 1984, Sergei Kiriyenko felt that great opportunities were opening up for him - a young Komsomol leader.

KOMSOMOL "BUILDING" EX-premier

In 1986, Sergei Kiriyenko went to work as a shop foreman at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Nizhny Novgorod, but he quickly realized that a proletarian career did not appeal to him and soon turned into a released secretary of the Komsomol committee of the plant. But even here Serezha instantly moved up the career ladder. Two years later, he was the second secretary of the Nizhny Novgorod regional committee of the Komsomol, and in 1990, Sergei Vladilenovich was already in charge of the elections to the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation through the Komsomol, actively contributing to the victory of his friend Boris Nemtsov. Kiriyenko himself was elected a deputy of the regional council of people's deputies.

As you know, the money of the CPSU disappeared in the fog of perestroika, and the money of the Komsomol was directed to create thousands of various youth concerns and centers of creativity, where the former Komsomol leaders got rich and went into big business. Sergei Kiriyenko was no exception. In 1991, he became president of the Joint-Stock Youth Concern (abbreviated as AMK), and three years later, young, but undeniably talented, Serezha already headed the social and commercial bank Garantiya, becoming its chairman of the board. And this is where the completely "adult" affairs of the future prime minister of the Russian government begin.

BIG CASES OF A LITTLE SEREZHA

In the bank "Guarantee" Kiriyenko was nicknamed "Little Seryozha" for his "boyish" appearance, but he ruled very harshly and soon they even began to be afraid of him. What did a friend of Governor Nemtsov do during the mysterious period of 1994-1997? In the official biographies, Kiriyenko modestly states "...He headed commercial structures in Nizhny Novgorod. Chairman of the board of the Garantiya bank. In 1996, he took over as president of the non-oil company NORSI-oil." Sergey Vladilenovich likes to spread himself especially, but we will try to familiarize the reader more closely with some little-known episodes from the life of Serezha Kiriyenko in Nizhny Novgorod.

The first episode: Kiriyenko invented such a unique thing as a "scam" - an electronic lottery for primitive throwing at the money of mouth-waterers and even managed to license the idea. Under this, a special structure was established called the "Enterprise" Directorate of Lotteries ". 97% of this office belonged to ... of course, the Kirienkov bank Garantiya. How much money passed through this" directorate "only God knows and ex-Prime Minister Seryozha.

Second episode: One of the founders and shareholders of the bank "Guarantee" was the "Republican Socio-Commercial Bank", where a certain V. Trifonov, who was also a close friend of Sergei Kiriyenko, worked as deputy chairman. So, this very Trifonov was closely connected with the Orekhovskaya criminal gang. According to operational data, Orekhov's authority Sylvester was blown up near the discotheque "LISS" in a "Mercedes" owned by Mr. Trifonov. Serezha Kiriyenko had such "serious" connections.

Third episode: In November 1996, Kiriyenko became head of the oil company NORSI-Oil. The main competitor of "NORSI" was the company "Volga-Petroleum", headed by a certain Abdulkhamit Sadekov. Both companies fought for leadership in the oil market of the Nizhny Novgorod region, and they were also very interested in control over the Nizhny Novgorod television channel Networks NN. On October 10, 1997, Sadekov was killed in the Moscow region. The murder has not yet been solved. Power over the Nizhny Novgorod oil market was completely transferred to NORSI-Oil, and Igor Eidman, cousin of Boris Nemtsov, a true friend of Sergei Kiriyenko, received shares in the Network NN TV channel. Surely, all this happened "completely by accident" and young Seryozha, of course, had nothing to do with this murder.

Fourth episode: At the time when "Little Serezha" moved to Moscow in 1997 and took the high post of First Deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy, his structures in Nizhny Novgorod had "very little" debt. Thus, Garantiya Bank owed the Pension Fund about 700 billion rubles, NORSI-Oil's debt to the budget amounted to 1.46 trillion rubles. By the time Kiriyenko was appointed Acting Prime Minister of the Government of Russia, NORSI's debt to the budget and other organizations had already amounted to THREE TRILLION rubles. Vivat, Sergey Vladilenovich!

ONE-TIME "KINDER-SURPRISE"

In recent years, the career of Sergei Vladilenovich resembled a rushing locomotive. On May 13, 1997, Sergei Kiriyenko, following his friends Boris Nemtsov and Boris Brevnov, arrived in Moscow and took the post of Deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy of the Russian Federation. On November 20 of the same year, he was already a minister. And in March 1998, young Serezha becomes I.O. Prime Minister, and soon a full-fledged head of the government of the Russian Federation. For Sergei Kiriyenko, the well-aimed nickname "Kinder-Surprise" has firmly established itself. And in fact, he was a real surprise for the entire domestic top nomenclature - soft, easily influenced, lost in the complex multi-way Kremlin games. A kind of whipping boy. At the highest government post, the Nizhny Novgorod boy Seryozha Izraitel clearly understood that playing big politics is not at all like running a provincial bank or heading a factory Komsomol.

Most analysts and independent experts believe that Sergei Kiriyenko, at the time of his premiership, acted as a banal condom. He was used once in the most primitive way and attributed to the frightened Seryozha and the August crisis, and the lack of Western loans, and the mediocrity of the Nizhny Novgorod team of young reformers. In general, just as Chubais was to blame for everything before, since August last year, the torch of the most guilty was handed over to the blinking Kiriyenko.

And Sergei Vladilenovich's last public appearance was quite deplorable. On the day of his own expulsion from the White House, Seryozha, together with the curly-haired Nizhny Novgorod resident Borey Nemtsov, took a bottle of vodka and went to the Humpback Bridge to the striking miners. Seryozha and Borya persistently suggested that the miners "roll on the little one", but the harsh strikers squeamishly refused and escorted the former rulers out of the tent city. One of the miners told them in the wake: "Yes, not only to drink vodka, I won't even "need" to celebrate on one hectare with them!"

BAD COMPANY

After being expelled from the White House, Sergei Vladilenovich immediately joined a very dubious campaign. Several months have passed since the August crisis, and Kinder Surprise has already given birth to a single block of young reformers, where, in addition to his beloved, he invited Chubais, Nemtsov, Gaidar and Boris Fyodorov. The company turned out to be very homogeneous, with a dubious reputation and a complete absence of any moral principles. But this is a completely different and very sad song ...

FRIENDS: Boris Yeltsin (until 08/17/98), Boris Nemtsov, Boris Brevnov, Boris Fedorov, as well as Anatoly Chubais, Yegor Gaidar.

ENEMIES: There are no serious enemies, with the exception of several million Russians, who before the August crisis called themselves the "middle class."

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT KIRIENKO:

Andrey Klimentyev, a millionaire in prison: “I knew Seryozha from Nizhny Novgorod. He resold oil there and spun pension money in Guarantee. Nemtsov dragged him along because even then in his heart he recognized himself as a complete cretin in politics and he more or less smart guys were needed. So he found Kiriyenko."

"Novye Izvestia" 04/02/98: "... the fee of the authors of Kirienkov's analytical notes makes the group of writers-privatizers turn pale with envy ... Kiriyenko's services worth seven typewritten pages were valued by the generous Guarantee at 1.7 billion rubles."

"Moscow News" 03/29/98: "Working in a bank brought Kiriyenko a deputy mandate."

JOKES ABOUT SEREZHA KIRIENKO

Unlike other politicians, Kiriyenko, with his rapid career and unexpected resignation, earned the largest number in the shortest period of time.

Why is Kiriyenko always smiling?
He got a denture of the wrong size.

The father, leaving the family, says to Serezha Kiriyenko:
- Can you come with me? You will love your new mom.
- Dad, I've already seen her. You have been deceived. It is far from new, and the eye is knocked out.

After the crisis, Kiriyenko sits with American businessmen, drinks and says:
What an amazing people we have! I left half the population without a livelihood - and they are smiling. I gave all businessmen a complete bankruptcy - they smile again. I turned the pension money into dust - they smile again.
- Tell me, - the American asks, - have you tried to poison them with dust?

Sergei Vladilenovich Kirienko(born July 26, 1962, Sukhumi, Abkhaz ASSR, USSR) - Russian statesman and politician. First Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation since October 5, 2016.

Biography

Sergey Kirienko was born in the family of Vladilen Yakovlevich Izraitel (07/09/1938-02/02/1995) and Larisa Vasilievna Kirienko. Father is a graduate of Moscow State University, Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, professor, at various times he headed the departments (scientific communism (1980-1990), political science (1990-1992), humanities and social sciences (1992-1995)).

Sergei Kiriyenko is a graduate of the famous Sochi secondary school No. 7.

He began his career as a foreman at the Krasnoe 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 to the Gorky Regional Council of People's Deputies.

In 1991-1997 - worked in the field of entrepreneurship, finance and business: General Director of the Joint-Stock Company Concern AMK; Chairman of the Board of 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 persuaded the doubting Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin to take the young Nizhny Novgorod businessman to a high position in the Ministry of Fuel and Energy. Chernomyrdin at first objected, citing Kiriyenko's lack of state experience, but then, not wanting to argue over an insignificant, as it seemed at the time, personnel issue, he succumbed to Nemtsov's pressure.

In 1997-1998, Kiriyenko was First Deputy Minister, Minister of Fuel and Energy of the Russian Federation.

The Kiriyenko government and the 1998 default

From April to August 1998, Sergei Kiriyenko - Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. The State Duma twice - on April 10 and 17, 1998 - refused to agree to the confirmation of Kiriyenko as Prime Minister. Only on April 24, after the third vote on his candidacy, Kiriyenko was approved by the State Duma as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation by 251 votes (with a minimum of 226) (after the 3rd refusal, the President had the right to dissolve the Duma). On the same day, Yeltsin signed a Presidential Decree appointing Kiriyenko Prime Minister.

By the time Kiriyenko was appointed in Russia, the financial pyramid of state short-term obligations  (GKO), launched under Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, was about to collapse. In a keynote speech to the State Duma, Kiriyenko said that "the Russian economy 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, while the accumulated wage debt in the Russian Federation was about $70 billion, and the total external debt was about $170 billion. 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 his work, Kiriyenko discovered that the financial situation was much worse than he had expected. The federal budget funds were not enough even to fulfill the state's current obligations to state employees. There were no resources at all to pay off external debts.

“How exactly the appointment as director of the Federal Security Service took place, Putin himself told reporters. He was warned to go to the airport to meet the head of government, Sergei Kiriyenko, who was returning from President Yeltsin, who was on vacation in Karelia. Kiriyenko got off the plane with the words:
- Volodya, hello! I congratulate you!
- With what?
- The decree is signed. You have been appointed director of the FSB.”

During the formation of the government, the only noticeable change was a sharp reduction in the number of deputy prime ministers and the abolition of the posts of first deputy prime ministers. Boris Nemtsov, Oleg Sysuev and Viktor Khristenko received the portfolios of Deputy Chairmen of the Government. There was also a politician of the left spectrum in Kiriyenko's office: during the reshuffle in the government on July 22, 1998, Yury 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. Such a 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 the Communists.

The main macroeconomic idea that immediately began to be discussed in the Kiriyenko government was the devaluation of the ruble; its exchange rate then 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. The cheaper rubles as a result of the devaluation would make it easier to pay off the domestic debt. However, a heavy debt burden lay in 1998 not only on the federal budget, but also on commercial banks. The devaluation would cause significant damage to their interests - banks would not be able to purchase sufficient volumes of dollars for the depreciated rubles to pay off their external debts. The flight of capital from Russia accelerated. On July 20, 1998, the International Monetary Fund provided the Russian Federation with a stabilization loan, the first tranche of which amounting to $4.8 billion arrived at the end of the month. However, its effect was short-lived. Yeltsin, who himself had never been 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 hopes to the young prime minister. In this situation, Kiriyenko proposed to the State Duma an anti-crisis program, its essence was to drastically reduce government spending. Two options for action were proposed for the choice of deputies. Or by an act of parliament to approve the sequestration of the budget - a proportional cut in its expenditures on all or most of the items. Or - if the State Duma is not ready to take responsibility - to allow the government to cut costs on its own and at its own discretion.

The State Duma rejected the anti-crisis program of the Kiriyenko cabinet without giving him additional prerogatives or 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, but Kiriyenko, who urgently arrived at his place, was able to keep the head of state from a hasty and risky decision. Nevertheless, the government was unable to save on costs, as a result, confidence in its creditworthiness decreased, Western investors rushed to get rid of Russian securities, and the resulting rubles were urgently converted into dollars. The exchange rate of the ruble began to fall rapidly. Against the background of the refusal of the Russian authorities from unpopular austerity measures, the IMF did not want to provide the second tranche of the loan. In the first days of 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 of the economy was unable to repay dollar loans. On August 14, the Russian foreign exchange market practically stopped. Kiriyenko was faced with a dilemma - either spend the last reserves, print unsecured rubles and thus settle accounts with GKO holders; or - devalue the ruble and suspend, at least partially, the payment of debts. In these circumstances, Kiriyenko preferred to keep the commercial banks afloat and save the state treasury from the inevitable ruin that would have been caused by paying off the T-bills.

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 debt. Russian private borrowers were allowed not to pay their debts to foreign creditors for 90 days. Kiriyenko himself later 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 was accepting responsibility for what had happened and was ready to resign. Then Yeltsin considered the resignation of Kiriyenko's cabinet premature and invited him to continue his work. The next day, on Monday, August 17, 1998, a default was publicly announced in Russia, the ruble exchange rate collapsed almost 3 times, 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. To return the deposits to everyone, and even at once, the banks could not. Exchange offices began to close due to lack of currency. Mass layoffs began at enterprises and organizations, since there was nothing to pay wages. As Kiriyenko later admitted, when deciding on the default, he and his colleagues in the government did not foresee that a psychological blow to the population would such crushing force that will spread in society such panic .

On Friday, August 21, 1998, all factions of the State Duma 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 to his office and announced his resignation. The ex-premier accepted the decision of the head of state with understanding, proposed to appoint the head of the Federation Council Yegor Stroev, who is close to the left political circles, as the new chairman of the government. Against the former secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Stroev, Kiriyenko believed, the communists would in no case object, and this would immediately reduce the degree of tension and panic in society. Yeltsin did not accept Kiriyenko's recommendation, he tried to return Chernomyrdin to the post of prime minister, but the State Duma rejected his candidacy twice. Not wanting a new confrontation with the parliament and its possible dissolution, for the third time Yeltsin, under pressure from the parliamentary majority, instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs and political heavyweight Yevgeny Primakov to form a government.

In Primakov's government, Yeltsin offered the recently dismissed Kiriyenko the position of First Deputy Prime Minister. In this way, 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 coherent economic program for Primakov's cabinet.

As a result of his work at the head of the government, Kiriyenko, along 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 the reforms was complicated by a sharp drop in export prices for oil (at the moment to $9 per barrel), which led to instability in the financial markets and an increase in the cost of servicing the state debt of the Russian Federation.

The result of the default carried out by the government of Kiriyenko was the liquidation of the GKO-OFZ pyramid, the reduction of government spending on debt service. At the same time, the default led to a decline in production and incomes of the population, the loss of work by hundreds of thousands of citizens, an acute banking crisis, a surge in inflation, and a strong fall in the ruble exchange rate. Not the best way for Kiriyenko's reputation was reflected in the broadcast statement of President Yeltsin, made on August 14, 1998, that is, three days before the default, when the head of state confidently guaranteed the Russians with reference to the government that there would be no devaluation, that everything was calculated and under control. Subsequently, these "guarantees" were interpreted as a deliberate misleading of citizens. A positive consequence of the sharp devaluation of the ruble was a large-scale import substitution and an increase in the competitiveness of domestic production - which became apparent already under Primakov's premiership. Among the people, the four-month premiership of Kiriyenko was associated for a long time with the crisis and upheavals of 1998, which was assigned to the young reformer by the nickname " Kinder Surprise".

Later career

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 reshuffles 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 the General Director of the State Corporation Rosatom, created on the basis of the agency.

In 2010, the income of the head of Rosatom amounted to 18 million rubles, in the year of the end of his activities in Rosatom (2016), Kirienko was already earning about 5 million rubles a month.

Results of activities in Rosatom

In total, Kiriyenko worked at Rosatom for almost 11 years. Starting his activity in 2005, Kiriyenko set himself strategic goals - to build 40 new nuclear power units in Russia in 25 years and to 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 were 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 for commercial operation - the third unit of the Beloyarsk NPP and the first Novovoronezh NPP-2. The share of nuclear energy in the generation of electricity in Russia in 2015 was 17% (against 15% at the beginning of Kiriyenko's activity in 2005), the promised 25% is still very far away. The total installed capacity of Russian NPPs in 2015 is 26 GW. The annual generation of nuclear power plants is about 190 billion kWh. This is a significant lag behind 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 for 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 amount of planned budget financing in the period up to 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, rose again - up to one ruble per kWh. Under Kiriyenko, the headcount of the corporation was optimized from over 40,000 to 34,000 employees. By 2015, the number grew again - up to 37,000 employees. Over 10 years, Kirienko managed to increase the installed capacity utilization factor of nuclear power plants: 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.

On the whole, according to Vladimir Milov, director of the Energy Policy Institute LLC, hundreds of billions of budget rubles have been spent inefficiently in Rosatom. The “aggressive policy of extending the operation of very old power units” practiced under Kiriyenko was criticized, primarily for safety reasons. Severe problems were exacerbated in the area of ​​the production base. The poor quality of construction led to the collapse of the reactor containment reinforcement at the Leningrad NPP-2 in 2011. It was not easy to establish a 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 the domestic machine-building base for the construction of reactors is one of the main deterrents in the modernization of nuclear power in Russia.

Under Kiriyenko, a significant potential for increasing nuclear power in Russia was never created. By 2025, about 12 GW of NPP 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 the standard service life. New projects launched under Kiriyenko could theoretically bring only 9 GW of capacity until 2025. These are the first and second units of the Kola NPP-2, Leningrad NPP-2, the 2nd unit of the Novovoronezh NPP, the 5th and 6th units of the Kursk NPP, the 4th unit of the Beloyarskaya NPP and the 4th unit of the Rostov NPP. Even taking into account these promising facilities, the balance of commissioning and retirement of nuclear capacities is predicted to be negative, and the share of nuclear industry in the energy market will eventually decrease. The total capacity of about 15 GW can be brought by five new nuclear power plants planned by Kiriyenko - Nizhny Novgorod, Baltic, Tver, Severskaya, Smolenskaya 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 of the federal budget due to the unfavorable situation in the hydrocarbon market. It was decided to save on nuclear energy, in the 2016 federal budget, spending on the industry was reduced by 48%, further cuts are planned in the 2017 budget. In this regard, the commissioning of new NPPs will inevitably be postponed, which will exacerbate the negative balance of capacity input-output for the period up to 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 fulfilled for a number of objective and subjective reasons, fit into the trend of the loss of popularity of nuclear energy on the planet. Its share in the world production of primary energy decreased in the 21st century by 2 times: if in 2000 it was 8%, then in 2015 it was only 4%. An unfavorable attitude towards nuclear energy increased in 2011, after the accident in Japan at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. The energy received 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 depletion of the resource of nuclear power reactors built in the second half of the 20th century was significantly ahead of 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-fired 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 was completed and the nuclear power plant in Bushehr (2010-2011) was put into operation - the first nuclear power plant in Iran and throughout the Middle East. In addition, with the participation of Rosatom, three reactors were put into operation in China, two reactors in India. The construction of another 30 power units in different countries of the world continues. The total price of the portfolio of international contracts of Rosatom, formed under Kiriyenko, is more than $100 billion until 2025.

Academician Leonid Bolshov, director of the Institute for the Problems of the Safe Development of Nuclear Energy, assessed Kiriyenko's activities at the head of Rosatom as successful if compared with the previous period of the industry's development (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 was effectively solving problems that were important for the Russian economy. The expert called the bet on high-tech exports, the rise of nuclear engineering, the development of applied science and strict security assurance as the main elements of Kiriyenko's successful strategy. During the 11 years of operation of the industry under Kiriyenko in Russia, not a single accident occurred at nuclear power plants with a score of two points or higher on the international seven-point INES scale.

Activities in the Administration of President Putin

After the transition of Vyacheslav Volodin to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the fall of 2016, where he became the speaker of the seventh convocation, the vacancy of the first deputy head of the administration of the President of Russia became vacant. Kiriyenko was appointed to this post from October 5, 2016, the parallel post of another first deputy head of the Presidential Administration has been occupied for many years by Putin's former press secretary Aleksey Gromov, known for conservative, retrograde views. The appointment took into account the solid state experience and impressive track record of Kiriyenko, it was he who, as prime minister, in 1998 introduced the new leader Vladimir Putin to the staff of the FSB RF. Experts noted that Kiriyenko's former 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 "obviously not fitting into the ideological mainstream of recent years", whose appointment indicates that the Kremlin has begun to look for alternative ways. The beginning of Kiriyenko's activity in his new post was marked by a series of meetings with political technologists and leaders of the expert community. The forthcoming presidential elections in Russia in 2018 were discussed. Kiriyenko faced a dilemma, how, against the background of aging and the loss of prospects of Putin's historical rivals - Zyuganov and Zhirinovsky, the minimum ratings of Mironov and Yavlinsky - to guarantee the outcome of the elections with a given result (70%), but at the same time ensure the appearance of political competition.

In the sphere of activity of Kiriyenko in the presidential administration (after the division of powers with Gromov), the internal political block fell, which includes elections at all levels, interaction with political parties, public organizations, and youth policy. Kiriyenko is subordinate to the Department of Domestic Policy and the Department of Public Projects, he oversees online publications and social networks. According to Bloomberg experts, Kiriyenko will head Putin's campaign headquarters in the 2018 presidential election.

In November 2016, Kiriyenko joined in the discussion of the problem of censorship and moralizing on freedom of creativity that has become more acute in Russia, having gathered together with the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky the artistic directors of the largest theaters in Moscow and St. Petersburg. This topic 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 Kiriyenko's practice of speaking at unannounced Kremlin briefings 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 Gazeta.ru online newspaper, RIA Novosti and TASS news agencies . In reports from closed briefings, Kiriyenko is referred to as "a source in the Kremlin," "a source close to the Presidential Administration of Russia," "a high-ranking federal official," and the like. The technology for distributing information from Kiriyenko's closed briefings involves prohibitions on reporting a briefing, the exact source of information, requirements for journalists to make notes "more diverse" and publish them in metered portions, so as not to arouse suspicion in society. According to this scheme, which was accepted for execution by all the mentioned publications, Kirienko's information was disseminated about the transfer of St. Isaac's Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church without Putin's consent, 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

Sergey Kiriyenko is married with his first marriage, he tied himself with family ties in his third year. Wife - Maria Vladislavovna Kiriyenko (before marriage - Aistova). Children - Vladimir (born 1983), Love (born 1992), Hope (born 2002).

Vladimir Kiriyenko in 2008-2011 served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nizhegorodpromstroybank, from 2011 to 2016 - the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the 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 engaged in corporate marketing, coordination of commercial activities of the operator's macro-branches and new business development areas. He is a co-founder of Titanium Investments, an investment in venture capital 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%) .

Sergey Kiriyenko is the owner of the fourth dan aikido. He is engaged in shooting, sport hunting and fishing. Diver.

Style

Describing the professional and human style of behavior of Kiriyenko, various experts note his invariable correctness, politeness and courtesy - both in relations with supporters and political opponents; and in conflict situations, and with officials of different ranks. Despite the fact that since the 1990s, Kiriyenko has been well acquainted with Vladimir Putin for a long time, for a certain period of time in 1998 he was above him in the state hierarchy and, in an informal setting, still communicates with him on “you”, jealous moments between Putin and Kiriyenko has never arisen, says the head of the Petersburg Politics Foundation, Mikhail Vinogradov. This is largely due to the fact that since 1999, when Putin headed the Russian government, Kiriyenko immediately positioned himself as a subordinate, disciplined civil servant. Since 2005, in Rosatom, as the head of Kiriyenko, he primarily promoted the company, and not himself. Kiriyenko and Putin also have in common the interest of both in martial arts of the East. 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 instructed to organize 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 the 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 foundation 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 awards ceremony of the Internet literature competition "Teneta", in 1999 he was among the organizers of the festival of arts "Unofficial Moscow".

Since 2012, he has been the Executive Director of the Coordinating Committee for the promotion of social, educational, cultural and other initiatives under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church.
