Aleksandr Zhukov

Alexander Dmitrievich Zhukov is a Russian senior official, a major figure in domestic sports. He has been the first deputy chairman of the State Duma since 2011. In addition, he is a member of the Supreme Council of the United Russia party, and in 2018 he was awarded the title of Honorary President of the Russian Olympic Committee.

Alexander Zhukov was born in the summer of 1956 in Moscow in the family of a hereditary nobleman, writer, translator and prose writer Dmitry Anatolyevich Zhukov, famous for his works "Avvakum" and "Dreams of Shulgin".

The family life of the parents did not work out: they divorced when their son was still young. The boy's male education was taken up by his grandfather, a retired military man, his mother's father. Grandfather instilled in his grandson a love of chess, teaching him to play this difficult game at the age of 4. Strict education, discipline and the development of logical thinking bore fruit: Alexander Zhukov studied at an elite school, where physics and mathematics were studied in depth.

The guy had no free time. Alexander attended a chess club and was engaged in several sports: football, hockey and figure skating, so later, with a height of 186 cm, his weight rarely exceeded 98 kg.

After leaving school, Zhukov easily entered Moscow State University, choosing the prestigious Faculty of Economics. Here, at the Department of Economic Cybernetics, he studied mathematical modeling and the basics of economic analysis.

In his free time, he played chess that he loved since childhood (he received the title of candidate for master of sports), as well as preference and football. His friend was Peter Aven, senior on the course, a statesman with whom the politician maintains warm relations.

In 1987, Alexander Zhukov received a diploma of higher education and got a job at the Scientific Research Institute of System Research of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Here he worked for two years. And in 1980, the young specialist was hired by the Ministry of Finance, where for 11 years he oversaw the trade and construction of large industrial facilities abroad.

The political biography of Alexander Zhukov began in 1986. He was elected a deputy of the Bauman District Council.

In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Alexander Dmitrievich went into business. Zhukov left the Ministry of Finance and got a job at the foreign economic joint-stock company Avtotraktoroexport. He was soon named vice president. The JSC was engaged in the export of tractors and KamAZ trucks.

In the same year, Zhukov graduated from Harvard Business School, becoming a certified specialist in the field of foreign exchange law, customs and taxes.

Since 1993 Alexander Dmitrievich has been a deputy of the State Duma. Since then, he has been regularly elected to the country's highest legislative body. He became a member of the United Russia party and eventually became a member of the United Russia Supreme Council.

In the 1990s, the political career of Alexander Zhukov was developing rapidly. He holds positions of responsibility on the Supervisory Board of Sberbank and the Agency for Restructuring Credit Institutions. Member of the Banking Council of the Central Bank and the Economic Council under the Government of the Russian Federation. And in 2004, Zhukov was appointed Deputy Prime Minister in the government of Mikhail Fradkov.

Love for sports led Alexander Dmitrievich to the fact that for many years he supervised sports events and was elected to responsible positions. From 2003 to 2009, Zhukov headed the Russian Chess Federation, and in 2010 he was elected head of the National Olympic Committee. It was a difficult period for Russian sports. After the defeat at the Olympics in Vancouver, where the national team took 11th place, a new effective manager was needed. And he was found in the person of Alexander Zhukov.

The result was not long in coming. Already at the Summer Olympics in London, the Russian team climbed to 4th place. And in Sochi, a long-awaited triumph happened: Russian sports took first place on the world podium. Many associate this victory with the name of Zhukov, who managed to solve many problems and organizational issues.

2011 was an important year for an official and a statesman. Alexander Zhukov is re-elected as a State Duma deputy and becomes the first deputy chairman of the country's highest legislative body and head of the United Russia faction. He is included in a number of Duma committees. The working day of a politician and an official is scheduled by the hour, because, in addition to all of the above, he has many important public duties. Zhukov is a member of the board of trustees of the famous VGIK, the Bolshoi Theater and the Foundation for the Support of Russian Cinema.

The spiritual and cultural life of the country is of great interest to Alexander Dmitrievich. He works on the commission that deals with the return of religious buildings to Orthodox churches. And Zhukov is also included in the scientific and editorial board of the Great Russian Encyclopedia: its full edition was planned for 2017 - 35 volumes.

The name of Alexander Zhukov is not tainted by corruption scandals. Back in 2013, the vice-speaker of the State Duma published a declaration of income, judging by which his salary was 2.5 million rubles. At this time, Zhukov was in charge of the Olympic construction.

The politician got married at 23. He met his soul mate at a rest house, where he spent time after the winter session. The wife of Alexander Dmitrievich Zhukov, Ekaterina, also turned out to be a student at Moscow State University, but the youngest by 2 years. Today she is a successful businesswoman and runs several companies she founded.

The personal life of Alexander Zhukov was happy. The only son, Peter Zhukov, was born in marriage.

On hearing a loud scandal that happened to the son of an official in 2006 in Britain. Petr Zhukov was accused of causing bodily harm to a resident of London, for which he was sentenced to 14 months in prison, and also ordered to pay a fine of 7.5 thousand pounds.

Zhukov Jr. was released ahead of schedule, after which he returned to Russia and got a job in one of the Moscow firms in a well-paid, but not public position.

Perhaps this is the only compromising material on Alexander Zhukov that the politician's critics and opponents managed to find. He is described as one of the friendliest politicians and senior officials. He responds to the harshest criticism with a charming smile and never slips into raised tones or personalities. At the same time, people who know him assert that the politician has a steel core, and softness and pliability are an apparent appearance.

The Zhukov family is friendly with the family of Nikita Mikhalkov: they are neighbors in the dachas on Nikolina Gora. Alexander Dmitrievich is a regular guest at all events of the famous director - from premieres of his new films to birthdays. Alexander Zhukov's inner circle also includes Vladimir Yakunin, the former head of Russian Railways, as well as former Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, with whom Alexander is friends with families. The children of officials maintain friendly relations with each other. After graduation, Petr Zhukov became an employee of Vnesheconombank, where Petr Fradkov already worked.

Alexander Zhukov is also in touch with Patriarch Kirill, who blessed the Russian national team before going to the Olympics in London. At the same time, Zhukov does not belong to the circle of those close to Vladimir Putin.

Alexander Zhukov does not use the social networks Twitter and Facebook, but his photos are found on Instagram on news profiles.

In 2017, Zhukov managed to resolve the conflict with the IOC, which lasted for two years. The doping scandal provoked by the film with the participation of Russians, athletes and track and field athletes Yulia and Vitaly Stepanov, who gave detailed interviews to the Western media, began in 2015 and turned into a real punitive action by the World Anti-Doping Agency against the Russian team. The published report, which investigated the actions of RUSADA, contained depressing facts for Russian sports, so the activities of the Russian anti-doping committee were suspended in 2015.

Added fuel to the fire and information about the doping program of the Sochi Olympics, provided by Grigory Rodchenkov. Athletes, prize-winners of the Olympics, who were credited with using prohibited substances, were stripped of their titles. In 2016, the investigation continued, while the WADA Independent Commission has already brought charges against the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation and Vitaly Mutko. On this basis, some of the Russians were not allowed to participate in the Olympics in Rio.

In 2017, after the annulment of 13 awards received by the Russians in 2014, the Russian Federation ceased to top the list of the unofficial OI team standings, and athletes who abuse doping were deprived of the right to participate in subsequent Olympics. The question arose of the trip of the Russian team to the Olympic Games in Korea.

In a difficult time for Russian sports, Alexander Zhukov shouldered the responsibility to settle the conflict with WADA and to return the national team and "clean" athletes an honest name. At the beginning of December 2017, at the IOC meeting, the position of the committee on the removal of the ROC of Russia from participation in the Olympic Games was announced. But after Alexander Zhukov's speech, in which he apologized to the IOC Executive Committee, the athletes managed to get into the list of participants in the Olympics under a neutral flag. Alexander's speech, as well as quotes from it, hit the sports media. At the same time, under the terms of the IOC, Russia was charged with the costs of the investigation, as well as financing of an independent testing system in the amount of $ 15 million. In Pyeongchang, Russian athletes won 17 medals, of which figure skater Alina Zagitova and the ice hockey team brought two gold medals.

In May 2018, it became known that Alexander Zhukov was not going to renew his powers as head of the ROC. At the Olympic meeting, a new president of the organization was elected - four-time Olympic champion in fencing Stanislav Pozdnyakov. Zhukov received the lifetime title of Honorary President.

Now Alexander Zhukov is focused on fulfilling the duties of the vice-speaker of the State Duma. The politician looks to the future of Russian sports with confidence, positively commenting on the performance of the Russian national football team at the World Cup.
