Alexei Kudrin

Alexei Kudrin is the former head of the Russian Ministry of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, who has held the ministerial post for the longest time of any official in modern Russia. The ex-minister of finance is considered one of the most promising figures in the political arena of the Russian Federation, who, even after his resignation, plays an important role in the economy and socio-political life of the country. The long-term head of the Ministry of Finance has many achievements on his account, the largest of which is the country's withdrawal from the global financial crisis with minimal losses.

Alexey Leonidovich Kudrin was born on October 12, 1960. Nationality and the real name of the future financier have repeatedly become the cause of controversy and discussion in the press. It is known that Kudrin was born in the Latvian city of Dobele. His father was a Soviet serviceman, which made the future Minister of Finance of Russia from birth become a traveler - at the age of 8, young Alexei with his parents moved to Mongolia. Already at the age of 11, the boy ended up in Transbaikalia, and after 3 years the family went to Arkhangelsk, where Alexey graduated from high school No. 17.

After leaving school, Alexey Leonidovich moved to Leningrad and worked for 2 years as an auto mechanic and practical instructor at the Academy of Transport and Logistics of the USSR Ministry of Defense. After that, the young man entered the Faculty of Economics of Leningrad State University, from which he graduated in 1983. After receiving a degree in economics, Kudrin was assigned to the Institute of Socio-Economic Problems at the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, where he met Anatoly Chubais, who played an important role in the fate of the future Minister of Finance.

In 1985, having established himself as a promising economist, Alexey entered the graduate school of the Institute of Economics at the Academy of Sciences and in 1988 defended his Ph.D. thesis. From that moment on, the professional biography of Alexei Leonidovich is closely connected with the financial sector.

In 1990, Alexei Kudrin was appointed deputy Anatoly Chubais, who served as head of the economic reform committee at the Leningrad City Executive Committee. Then the future finance minister got into the team of the mayor of Leningrad, Anatoly Sobchak, and met the future president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, who at that time was a KGB officer.

Until 1996, Kudrin held various positions related to economics and finance in the city administration of St. Petersburg, from where, together with many famous Russian politicians, he moved to the government of the country and where he began to work under the leadership of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

In the administration of the Russian head, Alexei Kudrin, as well as in the mayor's office of Leningrad, became Chubais's deputy, who headed the Presidential Administration. At the same time, the official was appointed head of the KRU, deputy Russian manager at the IMF and EBRD. In 1997, he became Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, vacating the post of head of the KRU for Vladimir Putin.

In 2000, Alexei Leonidovich Kudrin was elected to the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the President of Russia and Minister of Finance, and in 2002 he headed the National Banking Council at the Bank of Russia. In 2004, he lost his post as Deputy Prime Minister, but continued to work as head of the Ministry of Finance. In the same period, Kudrin entered the government commission of the Russian Federation on investment projects.

Anatoly Leonidovich held the post of Finance Minister until 2011 inclusive. The reason for Kudrin's high-profile resignation was the disagreement with the ex-President and Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev over economic policy, which Kudrin has repeatedly criticized. Then the official lost his government posts and handed over the leadership of the Ministry of Finance to Anton Siluanov, who continued Kudrin's policy in the Ministry of Finance to contain and enforce the budget.

The achievements of Alexei Kudrin in the ministerial post have become significant for the Russian economy. Thanks to Kudrin, a tax reform was carried out in the country, VAT rates were reduced, a “flat scale” of income tax was introduced, Russian legislation was changed, from which loopholes for legal tax evasion were eliminated. Alexei Leonidovich achieved a reduction in the country's external debt and created the first "non-oil and gas budget", which was adopted by the State Duma without amendments.

Russian head Vladimir Putin is proud of the fact that Kudrin worked in the government of the Russian Federation - an official who strengthened the economy of the Russian Federation and solved a number of large-scale economic problems, thereby bringing the state to a decent level in Europe.

After resigning from the government, Alexei Kudrin took up scientific and economic activities - he returned to St. Petersburg and became the dean of the Faculty of Liberal Sciences at the I.E. Yegor Gaidar. At the same time, Alexei Kudrin's forecasts are still relevant for the Russian economy today.

In 2012, Kudrin, along with other political figures, created the Committee for Civil Initiatives. Determining the best option for the economic development of the state is the main goal of the organization.

Since 2013, Kudrin has been included in the Economic Council under the President of the Russian Federation, which testifies to the continuation of his career as a statesman and promises unexpected changes in the future of an economist.

Irina Tintyakova, the second wife of Alexei Kudrin, at the time of her acquaintance with her future husband, worked as an assistant secretary for the press attaché Anatoly Chubais. The woman struck the head of the Ministry of Finance with her temperament and attractive appearance, so the man, without hesitation, made a marriage proposal to Irina.

Kudrin's second wife bore him a son, Artyom. After the marriage, the wife of the former head of the Ministry of Finance left journalism and became the head of the Severnaya Korona charity foundation, which provides assistance to orphanages and boarding schools.

From her first marriage with Veronika Sharova, the economist has a daughter, Polina, who, after her parents divorced, stayed with her mother in St. Petersburg and today has become a successful businesswoman and founder of the Grand Prix Art Center LLC.

The former Minister of Finance is considered a non-public person and prefers family holidays to social and noisy events. The busy work schedule does not allow paying due attention to the family, but every year in winter, Kudrin sets aside a short vacation to visit a ski resort in Austria, where he devotes himself to communicating with his wife and son. In addition to skiing, Aleksey Leonidovich is fond of hockey and tennis.

The opinion of Alexei Kudrin is often heeded today. Currently, Kudrin is the chairman of the board of the Center for Strategic Research (CSR) foundation. The ex-minister constantly comments on the problems that exist in the economy, and also proposes specific solutions to crisis situations in the financial sector.

In May 2017, Kudrin presented a new economic program to Vladimir Putin. According to Aleksey Leonidovich, the new plan will help determine the strategy of economic development for many years, accelerating the growth rate. However, the head of the Russian state made no decisions following the meeting.

In June 2017, Kudrin said that the Ministry of Finance had cut government spending too much when drafting the 2018-2020 budget. The official called the budget parameters quite sensible, but considered that Anton Siluanov's department approached the consolidation of government spending too harshly.

According to Alexei Leonidovich, the Finance Ministry's plans to cut spending will have a detrimental effect on the economy, since there is a gradual decline in the purchasing power of citizens.

Kudrin also commented on the statements of representatives of the Russian financial system, who have repeatedly said that economic growth is expected in the country by the end of 2017. At the economic forum in St. Petersburg, Alexei Leonidovich expressed his opinion on this matter, noting that the lack of skills and abilities of representatives of the state apparatus is the main problem affecting an economic breakthrough.

Users of social networks, including the Instagram network, continue to discuss the activities of the former minister. On the official website of Alexei Kudrin, you can familiarize yourself with his future plans, as well as find out his position on specific economic issues.
