Employment records of children of high-ranking officials. Shokhin walks on his own FESCO will have a top manager "for mergers and acquisitions"

Five years ago, after a similar event, Khodorkovsky thundered to the bunk, and before this meeting, the president of the RSPP, Alexander Shokhin, also had real cause for concern. Just the day before, he got into a dark story. I was going to rent 2 hectares of forest near Moscow in a prestigious area. And not cheap, but very cheap - at 768 rubles per hundred square meters (instead of the market 7 thousand dollars) ... Another would have been immediately pinned down for corruption, but Shokhin managed to defend both the forest and his post. This man generally made his career not thanks to, but in spite of.

Come from the people

The parents of the head of the RSPP were not wealthy people. Nikolai Romanovich drove a car, Varvara Platonovna taught at school. The Shokhins didn’t even have their own corner, so at first the family had to wander around the country. Only in 1953, when Sasha was two years old, did they settle in Kapotnya, then still near Moscow. They lived both in the basement and in a barrack with amenities on the floor. The father traveled around the Union in pursuit of big money (in the end he drove away from home for good), and the mother, who got a job as a weaver, cried at night from fatigue and fear for the future of her two sons.
The elder brother of Alexander Shokhin has already died. Father too. And the mother in the late 90s settled on Plyushchikha - not only in the same house with her son, but also (it happens so) in the former apartment of Chubais. Now her son is taking care of her.
Sasha Shokhin started earning money a long time ago, from the seventh grade. During the holidays, he worked hard at the post office, at the state farm, at the bakery.
“They didn’t know about this at school,” says Marta Orskaya, who taught Shokhin mathematics. - His family was low-income, but if he worked part-time in his spare time, this did not affect his studies.

Learned to dig

“He was very serious, modest, hardworking,” old-time teachers of school No. 461 recall Shokhin.
- But, like all children, he joked and laughed. And I was very worried about the grades, - adds Orskaya. - When I was younger, I could whine: “Why the four? I taught!” But he always listened to the comments and was sure to correct them.
Thin, with bangs constantly falling over his eyes and long legs exposed to the aisle - this is how Alexander Shokhin was remembered by the history teacher Galina Zadokhina.
“The first impression of Sasha as a student is an eternally raised hand,” she says. Always ahead, never behind. The constant thought: “Can I?” Fight for class leadership. He had his own point of view on everything - you won’t take such people just like that, for a story. He even taunted teachers with his questions, to which he himself, as it seemed to him, knew the answer. But if this answer did not coincide with his position, he listened simply spellbound. I wanted to know everything and about everything, I read voraciously.
It was Zadokhin who instilled in Alexander Shokhin a passion for archaeological expeditions. Starting to travel with her to the excavations of the Greek colony on the Black Sea island of Berezan, he did not leave this hobby even at the university.
However, Alexander Shokhin learned not only to dig, but also to dig - to others. In any case, in the 90s they started talking about him as a caustic person who is able to "offend three people with two words."
- Do not offend, but very subtly put in place those who have gone too far, - Galina Zadokhin corrects. He was very critical as a child. And self-critical too. But he never went over his head. And always aspired to independence.

Organized a "revolution"

Alexander Shokhin got to the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University by chance. At school, I wanted to become either a diplomat or a physicist, but, having not decided on a vocation, I decided to become a professor of political economy.
In those years, for the most part, the children of various directors studied economics, and Shokhin, in his cheap suit, clearly did not pull on the representative of the "golden youth". He had to break through life not with connections, but with his head.
- Sasha Shokhin? Of course, I remember, - says his classmate Nadezhda Troitskaya.
Former fellow students recall an incident that almost cost the future president of the RSPP his career:
- During the third course, he and his friends decided to arrange a seminar at which one speaker would talk about the youth revolution, the other about the ecological one, the third about the scientific one. A harmless event. But they chose the wrong name for it - "World Revolution". Representatives of the party committee and the Komsomol committee immediately suspected Shokhin of creating a Trotskyist cell. The whole company was even going to be expelled from the Komsomol and the university, but it cost a stricter. However, because of that story, Sasha was then not allowed to enter graduate school.

Suits everyone

However, it was thanks to this that Shokhin did not become a “university rat”. After working for several years in the State Planning Commission, the State Committee for Labor and the Academy of Sciences, at the age of 36 he became an assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Shevardnadze on economic issues. Dissatisfaction with the appointment of Shokhin himself, who at that moment did not want to break away from his dissertation, did not particularly worry anyone. So unwittingly, his childhood dream came true - to become a diplomat.
His wife, they say, is a sincere woman (Tatyana Valentinovna deals with socio-economic problems of population at the institute of the same name). They have two children - 31-year-old Dmitry and 26-year-old Evgenia.
“My dad is a wonderful person, but as a child I felt deprived of his attention,” Zhenya recalls.
The power elite did not become a second family for Shokhin. Together with other reformers, Alexander Nikolayevich, who became deputy prime minister in 1991, came up with “shock therapy”, and Gaidar scribbled such a vile characterization on him that former like-minded people still do not communicate. But the then head of the White House, Chernomyrdin, who did not like Gaidar, with such a recommendation, immediately took Shokhin to his office.
However, Shokhin was not only in the executive branch, but also in the legislative branch, he served as a deputy from 1994 to 2002. Having become the chairman of the NDR faction, Shokhin promised to restore order in the movement and immediately quarreled with the deputy chairman of the party, Vladimir Babichev.
In the end, Alexander Shokhin "equally distanced" from power. First, he joined the management of the Renaissance Capital investment group, and three years ago he headed the RSPP. Shokhin is too cunning to lobby for the interests of any one group. The day before yesterday, he defended the interests dictated by the investment group, banks, yesterday - Gazprom, today - casinos, so he suits everyone in his post. And Dmitry Medvedev, apparently, too - their recent meeting in the Kremlin passed without excesses.
However, this hardly means that the oligarchs will turn from equidistant to those equally close to the new Kremlin authorities.
“There is no question of any restoration of the format of the 90s,” says political scientist Dmitry Orlov.
Shokhin, the president of the “trade union of oligarchs”, is really not suitable for such a format. No wonder he was born in the year of the Cat - he made such a career, and still walks on his own.

quotes

We have reached the zero stage of economic growth.
We need to move away from the edge of the abyss, at the bottom of which we are.
Such favorable moments as the devaluation of the national currency, as a rule, are not repeated often.
Then there will be a complete default. I don't use the more common Russian term.
Before the congress (congress of the NDR in 1998) I resigned my powers (leader of the Duma faction). I hope that I will be replaced.
It is important for a politician to rip off the clothes of his opponents.
I agree that only tough, maybe, measures, demonstrating a cruel approach, regardless of faces, can improve the situation with tax collection, but for starters, “on the cats” is better.

Alexander Shokhin.

A small cafe in the center of Moscow next to the Praktika theater, where Alice has been playing for six years now. She shows up on the doorstep every minute. “I don’t like to be late,” the actress smiles, ordering coffee. “Probably, the disciplined ballet past is having an effect.” A few minutes later, a taxi slows down near the cafe - an old foreign car with a sticker on the windshield "I confuse the pedals." Dmitry comes out of it and, having quickly paid the taxi driver, runs into a cafe: "If you only knew what adventures I had to get to you!" - he says, kissing Alice, and sits down beside her. Cheerful, funny, loud. At first glance, they seem to be completely different. Although Dmitry and Alice have a lot in common: both are successful in their professions, the children of famous parents (Dmitry's father is politician Alexander Shokhin), both have already been married, are raising children. "Are you going to ask questions?" Shokhin asks in joking surprise. "Wait a minute, I'll catch my breath." And in a second: "Ready!"

Alice, Dmitry, congratulations on your engagement! On the sidelines of the Praktika theater, where the proposal was made, stories about how touching and beautiful it was still do not cease.

Alice. Thank you. It was not even a proposal, but a real theatrical fantasy, invented personally by Mitya. To be honest, I have never seen anything like this in the movies. Everyone cried: girls, boys, uncles and aunts.

Dmitry. I composed my proposal for two whole months, wrote the script, thought through every detail. It all happened after Alice's performance "Agatha Comes Home".
Only our friends and acquaintances were in the hall, and they did not know why they had gathered. I called them and said something like: "You definitely need to come, Alice has been playing in the play for so many years, what if she ... changes her mind about playing it?" ( Smiling.) And it really encouraged many to come. While we were secretly seating everyone, Alice was getting ready to go on stage. The most difficult thing was to hide the musicians - a girl with a violin, a girl with a cello and a young man with a double bass. If the violin and cello somehow got stuck, then the double bass ... I kept thinking: what if Alice comes out into the corridor and, seeing a musical instrument, guesses everything?

Alice. I suspected that something unusual was going on in the hall. I see: none of my colleagues look me in the eye. I came to play a performance, and everyone looks away!

Dmitry. According to the script, the musicians and I appear on stage when Alice goes to bow and accepts flowers. I, as an experienced lawyer, calculated all the risks: what if she thinks for a long time? Or will he say no, or will he burst into tears and not be able to utter a word?

- What then should have been done according to your plan?

Dmitry. Dance around Alice to The Beatles All You Need Is Love! Sing and dance around until she agrees. ( Laughs.)

Alice. Mitya entered the stage solemnly - in a tailcoat. When I realized what was happening, I thought: the main thing is not to burst into tears. ( Smiling.) I will never forget how he knelt down and held out the ring.

- Each of you has experience of previous marriages. Are you both ready for a new relationship?

Dmitry. Yes, when we met, I was divorced. Alice was also free. This is another proof that everything must happen in its own time. I do not really believe that relationships can be built on blood - leaving one family for another. Love can only happen when you are in balance with yourself. And we met with Alice in just such a period.

- How did you meet?

Alice. In a friend's kitchen. She invited me to her borscht. There were warm home gatherings with friends, among the guests - Mitya with his friend, both - with such serious faces.

Dmitry. When I went there, I thought that it would be a party of graduates of the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University, but actress Alisa Khazanova was among the guests. Now I understand that it was a gift of fate. However, when I saw Alice, I was somehow shy, but I really wanted to ask for her phone number. And I came up with a clever way. She turned on the music on her iPhone for the mood, and I asked her to send me a message with the name of the song. That's how I got her phone number.

- And immediately began to correspond and call up?

Alice. In fact, after this meeting, we did not communicate for a year. ( Pause.)

Dmitry. I was so embarrassed that I did not call back and did not write anything to this phone number. I thought: "Well, how am I, a serious 36-year-old man, going to call, worry and mumble into the phone? I'd rather not try at all!"

Alice. The case helped. A mutual friend called and said: "We want to come to your theater for a performance. And ... Mitya Shokhin will be with us, do you mind?" I answered: "Of course!" And made them tickets. But that evening, Mitya and his friends got into such an argument about politics that he was late for my performance. They were not allowed into the hall, but Mitya handed me a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.

- Did the screening take place the next day?

Alice. Yes, Mitya came with his son Danya. Later they came to me backstage, and Mitka turned pale, blushed, shy and silent, and the nine-year-old Danka talked to me, discussed the performance and made a great impression on me with his maturity.

Dmitry. My son rescued me. He saw that something was wrong with dad, and took the initiative. It's funny that later, leaving the theater, Danya said to me: "I really like Alice!" I replied: "If you only knew how much I like her!" Danya made a serious face: "Dad, but if you like it so much, then get married." It was our first frank conversation, thanks to which I realized that the boy had grown up. Then I invited Alice to Diana Arbenina's concert.

Did you immediately realize that you were made for each other?

Alice. In general, there is such a thing as intuition. And in fact, you still need to listen to her. Mitya turned my whole life upside down - he did it confidently, deftly and boldly. I had never seen such decisiveness in men before, it struck me. I am a person with a fairly strong character, with my experience of family life and relationships with men. Apparently, Mitya felt that he had to be decisive with me, and this had an effect.

Dmitry. Of course, already in the first minutes. It's hard to explain. I didn't just like her eyes, or her hair, or her dress... I liked everything about her: the way she looks, she talks, she moves. What happened between us can be called differently - a coincidence of energies, auras, vibration. There was some effect, and a very strong one. Everything came together and fell apart by itself.

Alice. In my understanding, Mitya cannot but be liked. He is amazing, this is a rare combination when a person is beautiful in appearance and beautiful in his soul, he is kind, cheerful and smart. Women dream of men like him - self-confident, strong, self-sufficient, romantic and spontaneous.

Just like Richard Gere's character in Pretty Woman.

Alice. Yes, Mitya, by the way, also somehow suggested that I fly to the opera. ( Laughs.) He did it with such a smile and enthusiasm that instantly strike. Mitya is a surprise man. I remember last spring I was leaving for two days in Paris for work, Mitya decided to surprise me and flew to me for a day. And when I returned home and opened the front door, I saw that our entire apartment had turned into a greenhouse: tulips were everywhere - on the floor, on furniture, in vases. Other free areas of the apartment were decorated with balloons. It was unforgettable.

Dmitry. For me, the most unforgettable adventure was our joint trip to the Iguazu Falls. It is on the border of Argentina and Brazil. It is amazingly beautiful there: the hotel is located next to the waterfalls. We arrive, register at this hotel, and the managers ask: you probably came specifically for this weekend? We were surprised and said we didn't guess. It turned out that during this period over Iguazu you can watch a rainbow around the clock, even at night. People book hotel rooms half a year in advance to see this unique natural phenomenon, but we came across it by accident. But the funny thing is that the next day there was also a lunar eclipse!

- Do you live together now?

Alice. Yes. Mitya and I, my daughters Mina, Eva and Mitya's son Danya, and also the dog Dushka and the cat Alice.

- Alice?

Alice. This is another funny story. Alice is a red-haired Abyssinian, Dani's favorite. He named her after a girl from the garden, whom he really liked, but did not reciprocate. To be honest, at first it was difficult for me to get used to the fact that there is another Alice in the house, I still sometimes respond when the children call the cat. ( Laughs.)

How did the children meet?

Alice. In fact, we were more worried than they were. And then Mitya said: why are we fuming? Let's just introduce the children and give them the opportunity to find a common language. And surprisingly, they quickly became friends. Mina is twelve, she has her own affairs, but eight-year-old Eva and ten-year-old Danya are now just like lovebirds. My daughter abandoned her dolls and began to collect LEGO sets. She even walked like Dani.

- Did your parents also support your choice?

Alice. Certainly. For them, the most important thing is that their child is happy.

Dmitry. I, in principle, do not really strive to forcibly establish any degree of intimacy, this is not necessary. And so Gennady Viktorovich Khazanov and I can quite talk about politics, he often comes to our house and arranges "home readings" - he reads his plays aloud. And he does it absolutely amazingly: you sit, then your tears flow, then you laugh. He is a great person and artist. And with the mother of Alice Zlata Iosifovna, we became friends.

Alice. Mitya also has amazing parents. We immediately found a common language, it seems that I have known them all my life.

- Your story could well become a movie script. In a year, you completely changed your lives, moved in together, and now you are going to get married ...

Alice. We love each other and really hope that we will succeed. We are already a family in which there is love, children and even pets. ( Smiling.)

Dmitry. Nikolai Gumilyov has a poem "The Sixth Sense" in which he describes in detail the difference between falling in love and love. The poet does not believe that love passes - in a year, or three, or ten. This is a feeling that is born for a long time, painfully and lives in the heart all my life. "So century after century - soon, Lord? - / Under the scalpel of nature and art / Our spirit screams, the flesh is exhausted, / Giving birth to an organ for the sixth sense." Therefore, if there is love, it will live. The most important thing is to save it.

Non-random minister

As spiteful critics like to joke, the youngest son of Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, 25-year-old Pavel, once “attached” his father to a warm place. It happened like this.

In 1995, by decision of the Pope, Pavlik entered the Suvorov School in St. Petersburg. The boy studied well and proved to be "disciplined and sociable in a military way." The proud father came to visit his child and accidentally met the future President of Russia. Vladimir Putin, then vice-mayor of the northern capital, was amazed that Mikhail Fradkov, who served as first deputy minister of foreign economic relations, “did not attach his son to a warm place, but sent him to study in another city, and even at the Suvorov School.” And although a year later Pavlik was transferred to the Moscow SVU, which he graduated with a gold medal in 1998, for his father and the Suvorovite himself, that meeting turned out to be fateful.

The investigation found that the minister's first-born child was not able to "prevent a collision with a pedestrian." It was then that the first information leak appeared. It became known to the media that Alexander Sergeevich received an economic education and works in an important position at Vnesheconombank.

Alexander's younger brother, Sergei Ivanov, graduated from MGIMO in 2003. He worked a little at the State Investment Corporation, then became an assistant to the chairman of the board of Gazprombank and for two years combined this duty with the position of chief expert on international projects at Gazprom. From January 2005 to this day, Sergey Sergeevich has been working as vice president of Gazprombank.

No maternity leave

Zhenechka Shokhina: now she will have to part with the French manicurist, not approved by dad Alexander Shokhin

Zhenya Shokhina, the daughter of the former Deputy Prime Minister and current Chairman of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, gave her first interview to Express Gazeta four years ago. Then she tried to engage in PR and charity work. But last year she gave up on these ideas.

Charity was not done by me, but by my mother, - Zhenya clarifies. - I just helped her look for projects. And if there was an interesting case, she also tried to attract sponsors to it. But, without having your own money, doing charity work in Russia is extremely difficult. Anyway, as a permanent activity. And you need to earn. My girlfriend and I created the Casval Friday Agency with a representative office in Vienna. And we are not engaged in “arranging parties”, as they wrote somewhere, but in business support in Russia for foreign delegations and individuals, in organizing conferences and corporate events. True, now I hardly think about my career and workdays, although I live, as never before, interesting and joyful. Guess why? I'm waiting for the birth of a boy! [...]

- Did your father work with you?

He believes that we should achieve everything in life ourselves, especially brother. But he nevertheless helped Dmitry to take the first steps. At 18, he got a job at a law firm as an errand boy. As a result, the brother became a lawyer. Graduated from the law faculty of Moscow State University, trained in New York. In America, where he lived for five years, he fell in love with his future wife, Ukrainian fashion model Alexandra. She worked in the United States under a contract and left for her homeland before Dmitry. Unable to bear the separation, Dmitry went after her. March 20, 2004 they got married in Moscow. Now he works for the Russian company Industrial Investors.

Dmitry Shokhin: his parents Tatyana and Alexander know that a business family should have its own lawyer

soul salvation

29-year-old Yulia Shoigu, the eldest daughter of the minister most beloved by Russians, like Maria Gaidar, works in the department of the pope. A certified psychologist was hired by the Ministry of Emergency Situations with joy.

Having become an expert in a difficult specialty and having defended her thesis, Yulia Sergeevna headed the Center for Emergency Psychological Assistance of the Ministry of Emergencies.

In 2002, CEPP began to develop rapidly. And when Julia headed it, everyone decided that it was created just for her. One way or another, but there are no complaints about his work.

English upbringing

27-year-old Evgeny Lebedev, the son of billionaire deputy Alexander Lebedev, whom Forbes magazine ranked 194th in the list of the richest people in the world, likes to remember his childhood.

All my maternal relatives are biologists, - says Evgeny. - My mother is a microbiologist, and my grandfather headed the Department of Biology of the USSR Academy of Sciences. As a child, he took me with him on all scientific research expeditions. Basically, of course, we went to the countries of the Soviet bloc.

The exceptions were trips to Vietnam and Bolivia.

The Lebedevs lived in the very center of Moscow, not far from the Kremlin. And Eugene recalls with a smile that he often walked his dog on Red Square.

When Alexander Lebedev, who graduated from MGIMO, where his mother worked, was sent to the Soviet embassy in London, he took Zhenya with him. Colleagues were very surprised when they learned that the "spy" - that was the name of Lebedev at the embassy - sent his son to study at the Anglican school in Kensington.

At that time, this was forbidden to Soviet subjects. Parents brought and took me through the back door, - Evgeny recalls.

Last summer, he helped Mikhail Gorbachev hold a charity auction in Britain for children suffering from leukemia. The event was financed by Lebedev Sr. What Evgeny is doing now and what kind of education he has, they don’t even know in the apparatus of a State Duma deputy. But the heir to the oligarch lives in London. By the way, now the children of Mikhail Kasyanov and Yevgeny Kiselev are studying there. Yulia Tymoshenko's daughter Yevgenia recently completed her studies in London.

Children with "grandmothers"

Our poet Alexander Vulykh imagined the monologue of today's major.

At all times, there were warm places for the children of the elite. But kindred protectionism reached its apogee in the Yeltsin era. Boris Nikolayevich appointed his daughter Tatiana as a personal assistant, her husband Valentin Yumashev as head of the presidential administration, and his second son-in-law Valery Okulov as the general director of Aeroflot. There was even a special term - "family". Looking at Himself, senior officials also did not hesitate to strongly “recommend” relatives for bread positions. And now it has become the norm. Children choose what they want to become, and dads are happy to try.

Competent opinion

Alexei Mukhin, director of the Center for Political Information and author of numerous books on the Kremlin's political clans:

Children of high-ranking officials are a tasty morsel for business. Their parents, as a rule, claim that they have nothing to do with the employment of their children. Often this is true, and the children are absolutely sure that they got a job in a prestigious place themselves. As a rule, they are well educated and, studying at prestigious foreign universities, acquire the necessary connections there. But Russian companies are waiting for them with open arms because of their connections in their native Fatherland. As a result, everywhere in the offices of large companies, the children of state officials are welcomed, offering them well-paid jobs. There is no new or unique practice in this phenomenon, but two years ago the country saw a wave of such appointments that people unequivocally linked to corruption and the growing closeness of the new ruling class.

Elena Krementsova

Alexander Nikolaevich Shokhin is a scientist-economist, head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, President of the Higher School of Economics State Institution. Formerly director of the Institute for Employment Problems, assistant to member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party Eduard Shevardnadze.

Among the high appointments he holds are the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Government, head of the Ministry of Economy, Labor, Board of Directors of Renaissance Capital. He was elected to the State Duma of three convocations, was a member of the so-called "Gaidar team" along with such well-known people as Anatoly Chubais, Alexei Golovkov, Andrei Nechaev, Pyotr Aven, who determined the course of economic transformations carried out in the 90s.

Childhood and family of Alexander Shokhin

The future high-ranking civil servant was born on December 25, 1951. His parents came from the very heart of Russia, which for a long time was considered the city of Orel. They met in the difficult post-war years and traveled around the country in search of a better place to live.

Therefore, Alexander's older brother was born in the Tula region, and he himself was born in the Arkhangelsk region. When the youngest son was about three years old, the family moved to the village of Kapotnya near Moscow, which was annexed to the capital in the early 1960s.

Mom, a teacher, was forced to become a weaver and work hard at a carpet factory in Lyubertsy, and Shokhin's father worked as a driver at a motor depot. At first, the family lived in a barracks, then moved to a communal apartment, later received housing in Kuzminki, where Alexander went to high school. He studied well, was deputy secretary of the Komsomol organization.

The young man was not taken into the army due to poor eyesight, which he already had in those years at about minus nine. In this regard, the road to MGIMO or the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​of the Ministry of Defense was also closed to him. In high school, he attended preparatory courses at MEPhI and decided that physics was not his calling.

Therefore, after graduating from school in 1969, he applied to the Faculty of Political Economy of Moscow State University. At the entrance exams, he lacked only half a point for admission, so he studied the first year in the evening (part-time) form of study. The young man was able to transfer to a full-time (daytime) view only in his second year.

During the student years, an unpleasant incident occurred, the tragedy of which only people of the older generation can understand. Shokhin turned out to be one of the organizers of the conference under the name “World Revolution”, which was inconsistent with the party committee. The participants of the event, who intended to discuss various types of revolutions (scientific-technical, demographic, sexual), were considered an anti-party neo-Trotskyist group and intended to be expelled from the ranks of the Komsomol, which in those years meant automatic expulsion from the university.

Fortunately, the punishment was replaced with a softer one - a strict reprimand with an entry in a personal file. As a result, Alexander was not admitted to graduate school at the Department of Political Economy, and he, a graduate with honors, received a free distribution.
