Fradkov Petr Mikhailovich Department of Presidential Affairs. Successful sons of domestic officials (11 photos)

Mikhail Efimovich Fradkov - head of the Board of Directors of Russian Railways, ex-head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (successor - Sergei Naryshkin, former speaker of the State Duma). For many years, he held various high government positions - he headed the Ministry of Trade, the Federal Tax Police Service, the Representative Office of the Russian Federation in the European Union, and the Government of the Russian Federation.

Israeli analysts called the nomination of Fradkov, who is Jewish, to the post of prime minister a brilliant political decision by Putin, thanks to which the president demonstrated the groundlessness of his accusations of anti-Semitism and prejudice against oligarchs of Jewish origin.

In 2014, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service was included in the sanctions list introduced by the EU in connection with the situation in Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Its validity was extended by the permanent representatives of the EU member states on December 21, 2015 for six months due to non-compliance with the Minsk agreements.

Family and childhood of Mikhail Fradkov

The current high-ranking official was born on September 1, 1950 in the village of Kurumoch, located in the Kuibyshev (today Samara) region. The non-Russian name of the village is explained by its foundation for the Kalmyks during the reign of Empress Anna Ioannovna and its origin from a similar Kalmyk name of the river flowing there. “Corum” translated from the language of this Mongolian people means “rocky riverbed”.

Mikhail's parents were employees of Kuibyshevgidrostroy. At the end of the forties of the last century, they lived in Kurumochi and participated in the construction of the Zhigulevskaya hydroelectric power station and the railway along Samarskaya Luka, an area of a sharp bend of the Volga River. According to unofficial information, this road was under the jurisdiction of state security agencies for a long time and was intended to serve defense facilities.

It is interesting that the relatives registered their newborn son in Kurumoch not there, but upon returning to Moscow, so there is no information regarding his birth in the local registry office departments. Perhaps in connection with this circumstance, a version was circulated in the media that the official was the son of Hero of the Soviet Union, born in the Smolensk region, Efim Fradkov, who was buried in Odessa. However, this assumption is wrong - Mikhail denied it personally.

Misha's mother was Russian by nationality and worked in a kindergarten. Dad was a Jew by nationality, and by profession an engineer at Mosgiprotrans. To Mikhail’s credit, he never denied or hid his Jewish roots.

The future politician received his secondary and higher education in the capital. As a student at a machine-tool university, he was an active participant in public life, a group leader, and secretary of the Komsomol. Then he was accepted into the ranks of the CPSU.

The beginning of the career of Mikhail Fradkov

After graduation, the young specialist spent a year improving his English language skills at special courses at the KGB. Then he was sent to India to serve in the Soviet diplomatic mission as an engineer-translator. It was possible, according to analysts, to receive such an appointment for a Jew without high-ranking parents and work experience only with the assistance of the State Security authorities.

Returning from abroad in 1975, Fradkov was hired by the Tyazhpromexport management under the State Committee for Foreign Economic Relations (GKES) as a senior engineer. According to unofficial sources, in reality, as in the previous case, he worked for the KGB. The truth of this statement is confirmed by the fact that this association, among other things, was engaged in the export of weapons.

Career of politician Mikhail Fradkov

In 1984, Mikhail Efimovich was appointed deputy head of the GKES department. Since 1988, he took another leadership position - deputy head of the department of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations.

Since 1991, he became a senior adviser to the permanent representative of the Russian Federation in Geneva. A year later, he first replaced and then acted and in 1997 headed the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations (MFER).

In the 1990s, he was awarded the sign “Honorary Officer of Russian Counterintelligence.” In 1999, he was appointed general director of Ingosstrakh JSC, then minister of trade.

Since 2001, the official received a new position - director of the Federal Tax Police Service (FSNP). The appointment of a civilian to this post was an unexpected phenomenon for society and subordinates. After the abolition of the department, the official took up the duties of the country's plenipotentiary representative to the EU.

In the period 2004-2007. he served as Chairman of the Russian Government, replacing Mikhail Kasyanov, and since 2007 - head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR).

Personal life of Mikhail Fradkov

Fradkov is married. His life partner, Elena Olegovna, has an economic education. Before her retirement, she worked at Vnesheconombank (VEB), at Gazprom, and at the capital's International Trade Center (WTC). The couple has two sons - Peter, born in 1978, and Pavel, born in 1981.

The eldest son received an excellent education - at MGIMO and graduate school. He worked in the American branch of VTB, then as the general director of the Far Eastern Shipping Company, occupied a director's chair in one of the departments of VEB, and headed the agency for insurance of export credits and investments. Since 2015, he has headed VEB’s subsidiary, Russian Export Center. In October he was awarded the Order for “Services to the Fatherland.”

Pavel is a graduate of the Suvorov Military School, the FSB Academy and the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since 2005, he worked as 3rd Secretary in the Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specializing in relations with the European Union. In 2007, he transferred to the FSB, and in 2012, he left military service with the rank of colonel. Then he received the position of deputy head of the Federal Property Management Agency.

High-ranking official Mikhail Fradkov has the diplomatic rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and also has every reason to be proud of his sons.

The media noted the financial cooperation of the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service with Pyotr Aven, co-owner of Alfa-Bank, which began back in 1992, when Fradkov was Deputy Minister of Foreign Economic Relations. Around the same period, Mikhail Efimovich met Vladimir Putin.

Fradkov behaves correctly with his subordinates, never allowing himself to raise his voice. He does not smoke, practically does not drink alcohol, and goes in for sports.

The income of the director of the SVR in 2013 was about 7 million rubles. In 2014, it tripled to 22 million corresponding monetary units. His wife earned 446 and 330 thousand rubles, respectively, during the same period.

The official lives in the elite Residential Complex “House on Smolenskaya Embankment” in a three-story “penthouse”. He also owns a mansion of 300 square meters with a plot of land of 1 hectare in the village of Petrovo-Dalneye, next to the country house of Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Federation Council. His wife Elena owns a dacha and land near the Gorki-2 village, the area of which is 325 and 1466 square meters.

Mikhail Fradkov today

Mikhail Efimovich, Candidate of Economic Sciences, has a number of state awards, including the Order of Honor, “For Services to the Fatherland.” Analysts noted that Mikhail Efimovich is one of President Putin’s most trusted representatives, but is not included in the “personnel reserve”. It is assumed that the current post will be the last in his long-term public service. In September 2016, during a major personnel reshuffle in the government, Vladimir Putin invited Mikhail Fradkov to head the Board of Directors of Russian Railways. In turn, Sergei Naryshkin was appointed head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

Deputy head of the Federal Property Management Agency and son of the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Pavel Fradkov has changed his job. By decree of Vladimir Putin, he was appointed to the post of deputy head of the Presidential Administration (UDP). According to Kommersant's information, his area of responsibility will include issues of federal property management.

The first information that Mr. Fradkov was leaving the Federal Property Management Agency appeared in mid-April. However, they started talking with confidence about his transfer to the UDP after the deputy head of the department, Veniamin Kondratyev, became the acting governor of the Krasnodar Territory. On May 21, Vladimir Putin formalized the appointment by decree. A Kommersant source in the presidential administration called the appointment logical, since the new head of the UDP, Alexander Kolpakov, needed “a proven person at work, well versed in issues of federal property.”

Pavel Fradkov is the youngest son of the head of the SVR, Mikhail Fradkov. After graduating from the Suvorov Military School, he successively studied at the FSB Academy (he was a classmate of Andrei Patrushev, the youngest son of the ex-director of the FSB and current Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev) and the Diplomatic Academy. In 2005, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as third secretary in the department of pan-European cooperation, responsible for relations with the G8 countries and the European Union. Then he worked in the FSB system as deputy head of a department in the “K” department, supervising the credit and financial sector.

Mr. Fradkov came to the Federal Property Management Agency in the summer of 2012 to the position of deputy head at the personal invitation of Olga Dergunova, who headed the department a couple of months before. Oversaw the work of three departments - legal, administrative and organization of assessment of federal property. Former colleagues characterize Pavel Fradkov as a calm and non-conflict person who has not been involved in any scandal. “I can’t imagine a situation where he would raise his voice,” says one of them.

At the same time, Mr. Fradkov was not afraid to take responsibility in situations where his immediate superior could oppose it, recalls one of Kommersant’s interlocutors. “For more than two years of work at the Federal Property Management Agency, he has grown a lot professionally. This winter, when Dergunova’s chair began to shake, it was Pavel Fradkov who was called her possible successor,” he says. Let us recall that on February 6, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev officially reprimanded Ms. Dergunova for “improper organization of work to ensure the execution of government orders.”

According to Kommersant’s source in the UDP, Mr. Fradkov will most likely be in charge of issues of federal property, a health complex, as well as social services and housing. UDP official representative Viktor Khrekov told Kommersant that the distribution of responsibilities has not yet taken place and what exactly Pavel Fradkov will do will be determined by order from Alexander Kolpakov.

In 2004-2007, he served as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation (2004-2007)

Having replaced his predecessor Mikhail Kasyanov in March 2004, Fradkov as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, according to many analysts, was a so-called “technical prime minister” who did not pursue an independent policy. All key decisions were made by the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, says Deputy General Director of the Center for Political Technologies Alexey Makarkin.

The activities of the Fradkov government were marked by the following events:

On November 14, 2005, Vladimir Putin introduced two new positions in the Government, thereby further reducing the powers of the Prime Minister. The head of the Russian Presidential Administration, Dmitry Medvedev, became the first deputy chairman, responsible for the implementation of the so-called priority national projects, and Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov became the deputy chairman, overseeing defense and the military-industrial complex.

In 2006, he received income of 2.59 million rubles, increasing income by 44% compared to 2005 (1.8 million).

On September 12, 2007, at a meeting with the President of the Russian Federation, Fradkov turned to Vladimir Putin with a request for the resignation of the Government, motivating it as follows: “Understanding the political processes taking place today, I would like you to have complete freedom in choosing decisions, including personnel. And, I think, it would be right, on my part, to take the initiative to vacate the post of Chairman of the Government so that you do not have any restrictions in making decisions and arranging, for example, a power configuration in connection with upcoming political events.”

The President accepted the resignation of the Government and thanked Fradkov for the results achieved in his work. Putin noted such achievements of the Government as good economic growth rates, reduction in inflation, growth in real incomes of the population, and the beginning of the implementation of large social projects. At the same time, the President invited Fradkov to act as Chairman of the Government until the State Duma approves the candidacy of the new Prime Minister.

According to a survey by the Public Opinion Foundation conducted after Fradkov’s resignation from the post of Prime Minister, the majority of Russians could not name any achievements (80%) or failures (75%) in the activities of the former Prime Minister in his post. Back in November 2005, British experts predicted Mikhail Fradkov's resignation from the post of Prime Minister.

Further career

On September 12, 2007, Fradkov submitted his resignation to President Putin, which was accepted.

Since October 9, 2007 - Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation. He was appointed to this position by President Putin instead of Sergei Lebedev, who became the Executive Secretary of the CIS.

In December 1991, Minister of Foreign Economic Relations Peter Aven allowed the head of the Committee for External Relations (FRC) of the St. Petersburg mayor's office, Vladimir Putin, to issue licenses to commercial organizations to sell raw materials abroad in exchange for supplies of food products to the city. Subsequently, a working group of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg discovered that some exporting firms cannot be controlled, and most contracts are deliberately drawn up with gross errors that allow exporters to evade fulfilling their obligations. Deputies recommended removing Vladimir Putin from the post of chairman of the KBC, but the mayor of St. Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak, refused to fire him. In turn, Petr Aven retained the right to issue licenses for Putin and instructed Mikhail Fradkov to oversee this process from the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations. This episode served as the beginning of financial cooperation between Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Fradkov and Pyotr Aven, since 1994 co-owner of Alfa Group (together with Mikhail Fridman and German Khan).

According to a number of experts, Fradkov contributed to the realization of the interests of this holding, continuing in 1992-98. work at the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations. Alfa Bank received permission to buy Russia's foreign debts at 25-30 percent of the cost, and then receive the original amount from the budget for them. The Alfa-Eco company was given the opportunity to purchase imported goods to pay off the debts of Russian producing countries, as well as a government contract for the annual supply of 1.5 million tons of Russian oil in exchange for 500 thousand tons of Cuban sugar.

The press indicated that, most likely, not without the participation of Mikhail Fradkov, Alfa-Eco acquired 40% of the shares of OJSC Tyumen Oil Company. According to the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, a maximum of 46.8% of the actual value of the shares was paid during the transaction. The criminal case opened by the prosecutor's office as a result of the auction was soon closed.

“Office plankton” and just a worker

The youngest son, Pavel Fradkov, was hired in August 2005 to work in the Department of Pan-European Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry as third secretary. This department, responsible for relations with the G8 countries and the European Union, is one of the most prestigious places to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sons of the Fatherland: where do the children of politicians work?

Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded 26-year-old Andrei Patrushev, the son of the director of the FSB, the “Order of Honor” for, as the decree states, “achieved labor successes and many years of conscientious work” in the Rosneft company. Andrei Patrushev has been working at Rosneft for just over 7 months, since September 2006, when he was appointed advisor to the chairman of the board of directors of the state-owned oil company, Igor Sechin, who also holds the post of deputy head of the presidential administration. It is known about the youngest son of the FSB director that four years ago Andrei Patrushev graduated from the FSB Academy, where his classmate was Pavel Fradkov, the youngest son of Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov.

According to Kommersant, at the time of his employment at Rosneft, Patrushev served as deputy head of the 9th department of the “P” (“Industry”) department of the FSB of the Russian Federation. At Lubyanka, this department is called the “oil” department: its employees closely monitor everything that happens in the oil market.

The new place promises brilliant prospects for the hereditary security officer. Especially considering that his older brother Dmitry Patrushev holds the post of vice president at Vneshtorgbank, where, according to some sources, he is responsible for issuing loans to oil companies. Another vice-president of this bank is Sergei Matvienko. His mother, Valentina Matvienko, is the governor of St. Petersburg.

What do the children of the political elite do for a living?

These young people were lucky enough to be born into famous families and are guaranteed a bright future. They study at elite universities, and then, despite their young age, are seated in respectable positions in large companies.

Many of them, of course, are smart themselves, but a big name clearly plays an important role in their fate. We decided to see what the children of famous politicians and officials do. It turned out that “golden youths” most often convert their parents’ names into a career as a businessman or diplomat, while “diamond girls” choose show business or politics.

Our army has finally become a workers' and peasants' army. And children of big parents have long “equated” an ATM to a bayonet

Skinny, underfed boys from low-income families have been serving in our army for many years. In 2006, more than 40 thousand of these dystrophic people received a deferment from the army due to chronic malnutrition. And in 2007, military commissars sent home more than 20 thousand dystrophic patients. But we don't have a war. And we still mine both “blue” and “black” gold. And our deputies, even from godforsaken Chukotka, are building the most luxurious yachts in the world, 170 meters long. We are a rich and powerful country, but we have a poor and weak army. Why?
