Andrey Klishas

Until some time, society had little interest in the personality of the Russian politician Andrei Klishas. A graduate of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, he quietly worked in various positions in institutions under the government and was engaged in scientific activities in the field of state and law, having defended his doctoral dissertation in jurisprudence. The name of a Russian of Jewish nationality came to the fore after a number of political initiatives, the most discussed of which was the bill on the autonomous Runet, adopted by the State Duma in 2019.

Andrey Aleksandrovich Klishas was born in Sverdlovsk (present-day Yekaterinburg) on ​​November 9, 1972 in the family of retired Colonel Alexander Gennadievich Klishas and his wife Vera Vasilievna. Almost nothing is known about the early biography of the future politician and entrepreneur, except for the fact of studying at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Ural State University named after A.M. Gorky.

Fragmentary information began to appear in 1993, when Andrei became a student at the Moscow University of RUDN with a degree in jurisprudence and got on the same course with the Russian politician Alexei Navalny.

In parallel with his studies, Klishas entered the service of the Russian Federal Property Fund and began to study the processes of privatization, occupying various positions in the structure under the government of the Russian Federation.

In his youth, the most high-profile case of a native of Sverdlovsk was the transfer of ownership of the mining and metallurgical company Norilsk Nickel, around which there was a lot of gossip and rumors later. A year after the famous deal, Klishas graduated from a prestigious capital university and, having received a bachelor's degree in law, continued his studies in a magistracy.

Having overcome this stage, Andrey was not satisfied with the result: in 2002 and 2008 he defended his Ph.D. and doctoral dissertations in the field of constitutional law of foreign countries. At the same time, the certified specialist got a job at ONEXIM Bank and entered the management bodies of a number of reputable industrial and investment companies.

In 2001, Andrei Alexandrovich came to work at RUDN University and for 15 years combined business with teaching. As an entrepreneur, he served as president of the public mining and metallurgical company Norilsk Nickel, and as a scientist, since 2016, he headed the department of theory of state and law at the Law Institute of Moscow.

Realizing that such a brilliant career lacks a political component, Klishas joined the United Russia party and in 2012 entered the Federation Council as a deputy of the Norilsk City Council.

Since 2013, Andrei Alexandrovich has come up with a number of initiatives related to quantitative changes in the composition of Russian senators and other elected categories of citizens, as well as responsibility for violating the rules for holding public events.

Having received the approval of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation, Klishas went further. In 2014, the entrepreneur proposed to toughen the punishment for incitement to separatism and insulting the authorities, separately considering cases related to statements on the Internet.

These laws, co-authored with State Duma deputies Dmitry Vyatkin and Lyudmila Bokova, provoked a lot of controversy due to flaws in the wording and general vagueness.

In an interview with journalists, the jurist did not want to name a specific situation in which political criticism would be prosecuted under a criminal article. Moreover, Klishas left the meeting of the relevant committee at the Ministry of Digital Development when the participants began to criticize the initiatives of the lawmakers.

In 2015, Andrei Alexandrovich, whose photo took the first pages of news sites, worked for the benefit of high-ranking representatives of the legislative and judicial authorities. Together with his colleagues, he initiated an increase in the term of service of prosecutors and expanded the list of persons whose official duties did not include compulsory residence in Russia.

In addition to the laws, Klishas was involved in supporting the program for the historic return of Crimea and shared the government's official opinion on the situation in Ukraine. For these reasons, in March 2014, the businessman came under visa and economic sanctions from the European Union, Canada, Australia and the United States.

Probably, Andrei Alexandrovich harbored a grudge against Western society, which manifested itself in 2018 in a bill on the autonomous functioning of the Russian Internet. The team of authors explained their own initiative by the desire to protect the country from more frequent accusations of hacking and cyber attacks and to create a backup information space that preserves the confidentiality of communication between users.

However, there was a good purpose and a number of negative aspects associated with restricting access to some international sites and the installation of state "surveillance" of data transmission sources. Because of this, the project was discussed for a long time in committees and commissions and only on April 16, 2019 was it adopted by the deputies of the State Duma.

Politician and entrepreneur Andrei Klishas prefers to keep his personal life secret. Despite this, the media learned that the senator has a wife Irina and two children, Sophia and Kirill. The family lives in prosperity and, according to information for 2012, makes a profit of 284 million rubles, ranking 29th in the Forbes list.

The former president of Norilsk Nickel owns several properties located in Switzerland and Russia. The villa on Rublevka and the mansion in the Istrinsky district in the west of Moscow are recognized as especially luxurious.

On the territory of the estates, Klishas breeds dogs participating in exhibitions of the International Cynological Society, where the deputy is an official judge in his free time. In the company of animals, Andrey Aleksandrovich takes a break from work. And scientific interest in the peculiarities of the breed flowed into the publication of our own scientific and educational magazine about dachshunds.

Another hobby of Klishas was collecting exclusive watch models. Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon and Patek Philippe Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar are recognized as the most valuable specimens of the collection kept in the safe of the Federation Council.

Now Andrei Aleksandrovich heads the Federation Council Committee on Legislation and State Construction and actively participates in the discussion of key issues on the agenda.

In addition to clarifications regarding the provisions on the Runet, which come into force on November 1, 2019, the senator demonstrates the skills of a lawyer in solving other pressing problems.

Having become one of the most popular MPs, Klishas regularly appears on television and appears in news programs on the country's leading channels.
