From childhood, the future politician showed himself to be an intelligent and capable child, which was proved by his high school performance. He dreamed of becoming a scientist, but fate decreed otherwise. The first 8 grades, Gryzlov studied at the local secondary school number 327, and finished his final classes at the polytechnic school number 211, where his classmate was Nikolai Patrushev, who later became the head of the FSB.

After graduating from school with a gold medal, Boris Vyacheslavovich, following his childhood dream, entered the Bonch-Bruevich Electrotechnical Institute of Communications. At the university, he also distinguished himself with deep knowledge and became almost a round excellent student. During his studies, the young man received an invitation to star in the film "Sannikov Land". After viewing the student's photo and passing the tests, Boris played a cameo role in the crowd scene.

Having defended his thesis in the last year on the topic "Ground transmitter of a communication line of an artificial earth satellite", Gryzlov received a radio engineer diploma, but in the future he could not conquer science, being lost among ordinary engineers at the All-Union Research Institute of Powerful Radio Engineering.

In 1977, the future politician worked at LPO Electronpribor, where he developed integrated circuits for defense equipment and devices of the national economy. Having received the position of director of a division at this enterprise, Boris Vyacheslavovich began to advance in the political direction, first as a member of the plant's trade union, and later in the ranks of the CPSU.

At the same time, he was engaged in entrepreneurship. Gryzlov was listed as the founder of several commercial organizations, which, however, did not bring significant income to the policy. Since 1996, the work of Boris Vyacheslavovich has been associated with higher education. On his initiative, several educational institutions were created to improve the qualifications of workers, as well as the Institute of Municipal Economy Workers and the Center for Vocational Guidance for Disabled People.

Around this time, according to rumors, Gryzlov struck up friendly relations with Dmitry Kozak, who headed the department of justice in the St. Petersburg mayor's office, and later - the manager of the Russian government.

Boris Gryzlov got into big politics in the late 90s. Heading the St. Petersburg branch of the Unity movement, he was elected to the State Duma on the bloc's federal list. Already in 2001, the Russian president appointed a novice politician as the country's interior minister, which was a decision unexpected for everyone, since at that time Gryzlov had neither political experience nor general's shoulder straps.

At the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Boris Vyacheslavovich became famous for the resonant case against "werewolves in uniform", investigating large-scale malfeasance of high-ranking police officers who for a long time have been carrying out criminal activities, engaging in extortion and fabrication of criminal cases.

Already after 2 months as minister, Gryzlov started a structural reform of the department and made changes to the structure of the traffic police. Also, on his initiative, a Suvorov military school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was created in St. Petersburg for children whose military parents died during operations in the North Caucasus.

In 2003, in the parliamentary elections to the State Duma, Boris Gryzlov, along with ex-mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov and current defense minister Sergei Shoigu, entered the central bloc of United Russia, and therefore resigned from the post of head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as he wanted to work in parliament and engage in lawmaking.

In 2004 he was elected speaker of the State Duma and chairman of the United Russia faction. In the same period of his political biography, Gryzlov became a permanent member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and in 2005 he headed the inter-parliamentary assembly of the Eurasian Economic Union.

In the mid-2000s, Boris attempted to combine public service with business. The attempt acquired a scandalous touch. The name of the parliamentarian is associated with the businessman Viktor Petrik, the inventor of filters, which, according to him, purify radioactive water to a drinking state. It was planned to allocate billions of budget funds for the production of miraculous equipment, to equip budgetary institutions with them within the framework of the federal target program "Pure Water".

However, the scientific community literally crushed Petrik's "research", which had previously received warm support from the politician. Moreover, the invention is recognized as hazardous to health. And as Academician, Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics Eduard Kruglyakov said in an interview, "Gryzlov canceled his co-authorship for a patent."

Another trouble that happened during the period of political activity of the leader of the United Russia faction in the Duma is his careless statement that other nationalities, except for the Russian, do not have a desire to live in peace. Yuri Shuvalov, who then held the post of deputy secretary of the presidium of the United Russia State Council, had to interpret the politician's words, giving them a less crude formulation.

In 2011, Boris Vyacheslavovich withdrew his deputy mandate and left the post of chairman of the State Duma, believing that it was wrong to be the first person in parliament for more than two terms in a row. At the same time, he remained the head of the Supreme Council of the United Russia party, and until 2016 headed the supervisory board of Rosatom.

Under the law on additional seats in the Federation Council, adopted in 2014, the country's president received the right to appoint 10% of the members of the upper house of parliament. The media hastened to write Boris Gryzlov, Gennady Zyuganov and Sergei Mironov on the list of the lucky ones.

However, on December 26, 2015, Gryzlov was appointed the plenipotentiary representative of the Russian Federation in the contact trilateral group for Ukraine. Experts had high hopes that he would move the protracted implementation of the Minsk Agreement on Donbass off the ground.

From the very first meeting, the diplomat successfully fulfilled the duties assigned to him. At the first negotiations of the "Minsk Group" in 2016, the Ukrainian side agreed to all the initiatives it proposed, which are aimed at resolving the conflict situation in southeastern Ukraine.

In December of the same year, Boris replaced Dmitry Rogozin in the chair of the chairman of the board of directors of the Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation. It releases aerial bombs, missiles, anti-submarine and precision weapons. Gryzlov is also in charge of the Board of Trustees of the Expert Institute for Social Research, a non-profit organization that studies public mood in the regions, issues grants to political scientists and is responsible for developing electoral technologies.
