Elena Skynnik

Elena Borisovna Skrynnik today is a prominent statesman and mother, but she began her career, like other citizens of the USSR, with a small start. Over the years of her career, Elena Borisovna worked as a laboratory assistant, cardiologist, and after 2000 she began to work in the field of agriculture, becoming the first woman minister in this field.

Elena Borisovna Novitskaya (maiden name) comes from a wealthy family, judging by those times. She was born in the city of Korkino (Chelyabinsk region) on August 30, 1961. His father worked as a mining engineer, and his mother held the leading position of chief engineer at a local plant. Judging by her maiden name, Elena has Polish roots, but there is no information about the nationality of the ex-minister of agriculture.

Elena Skrynnik has a younger brother Leonid Novitsky, a race car driver, two-time winner of the FIA ​​World Cup in rally-raids, the owner of the best performance among Russian racers in Dakar. Elena's cousin Igor Khristenko also went into politics, served as Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. His wife is the former head of the Accounts Chamber, the current Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

According to Skrynnik, her parents were too busy with work, so her upbringing was entirely on the shoulders of her grandparents. When the time came, young Elena entered school # 2 in the city of Korkino in the girls' class. The teachers remembered her as an assiduous and executive girl, who was distinguished by her silence and modesty.

Elena Borisovna graduated from school without Cs, and practically without Cs, of which there were several in her certificate. At that time, the girl was already fond of sports, preferring skiing and basketball. By the way, these hobbies were not in vain, modern photos show that Elena Borisovna has a stately figure and high growth (175 cm).

After leaving school, Elena decided not to go to university right away, probably wishing to choose the profession that she liked. For 2 years, yesterday's graduate worked diligently at a forging and stamping plant in her hometown, taking the position of a laboratory assistant.

In 1981, Elena entered the Chelyabinsk Medical University on a referral from the enterprise where she worked. After 5 years of training as a cardiologist, Elena began work, and after 2 years she became the head physician of a hospital at the Chelyabinsk plant.

Already in the early 90s, Elena Borisovna received a diploma in human resources management at the Academy of National Economy of the Russian Federation. After receiving her diploma, Skrynnik underwent an internship abroad - in France and Germany, improving her skills in leasing matters.

This area at that time was still unknown in Russia, so upon arrival in Russia, Elena began to develop this direction. First there was the Medleasing company, then cooperation with the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on the purchase of medical equipment on lease for Russian hospital complexes.

It should be noted that Skrynnik was the first to introduce the practice of leasing in Russia, opening up new modern dimensions for public medicine. After 3 years, Elena Borisovna approached the management corps even more, because she was elected head of the Russian Association of Leasing Companies (1997). A year later, she took over as chairman of the expert council on leasing.

Less than 2 years later, Elena took a new step up the career ladder, taking the post of general director of OJSC Rosagroleasing. Already in 2009 - again a career jump and the post of Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. Some media outlets voiced information that Skrynnik is a close friend of Svetlana Medvedeva, which influenced the development of Elena Borisovna's career during the presidency of Dmitry Medvedev. During her tenure as a minister, she received a PhD in Economics.

In 2012, she lost her position, and then went abroad for treatment. There were rumors that Skrynnik moved abroad for permanent residence, but Elena Borisovna herself dispelled them on the air of one of the programs of the NTV channel.

Elena entered into her first marriage with Sergei Skrynnik in her student years, taking his last name. The couple's life together lasted 6 years, after which the young people divorced peacefully. In this marriage, Elena gave birth to her first child, but her daughter died in 2003 in a car accident. The girl was only 21 years old. Later, Sergei Skrynnik took over as head of the public procurement department of the State Institution of Material Resources of the Chelyabinsk Region.

After the first divorce, Elena Borisovna did not tie the knot for a long time, but in 2004 she entered into an alliance with Yuri Kukota. The marriage lasted 3 years, in 2005 Elena gave birth to twins Irina and Mikhail, but the union was dissolved with a scandal.

Yuri Kukota, already Skrynnik's ex-husband, claimed that Elena had threatened him. Allegedly, the reason for the threats was children, and the whole action was aimed at ensuring that the former spouse renounced all claims for the twins born in marriage. Elena Skrynnik did not confirm the words of her ex-husband, and due to the lack of evidence, a criminal case on this issue was not opened.

Skrynnik's third husband was the soloist of one of the numerous singing groups Dmitry Belonosov, who is 10 years younger than Elena. The end of the relationship with Elena's third husband was kept secret, but in 2010 Dmitry announced the divorce, rumors appeared that he had gone to a young girl, the administrator of one central television channel. But be that as it may, in this marriage, Elena again became a mother. According to one information, she gave birth to twins, according to the other, she adopted two children.

For several years now Elena and her children have been living in a luxurious villa, comfortably located in France. It is worth noting that after 2012, information about the activities of the ex-minister is scarce, which is directly related to the scandal that unfolded after Skrynnik left office.

Elena Borisovna remains one of the most attractive and elegant lady ministers. She devotes a lot of time to taking care of herself (according to rumors, she is the owner of a beauty clinic, according to others - a plastic clinic), and after the birth of children she did not lose her shape. Elena is fond of active sports, preferring boating, snowmobiling and skiing. The ex-minister does not advertise the details of her current personal life, but Elena has changed a lot in appearance. She is younger, built and looks happy, as can be judged by the numerous photos and videos of the ex-minister in the media.

Criticism poured into the address of Elena Borisovna after the changes in power that came in 2012. The accusations were based on the fact that the money allocated from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation was spent for other purposes.

Although Skrynnik denied the accusations against her, the story received a lot of publicity, and it was suggested that a luxurious mansion in an elite district of Moscow was purchased with the allocated funds. Even at the time when Elena held the post of general director of Rosagroleasing, she was already accused of money laundering, so the press happily picked up the news.

The matter did not end there, and a few weeks later, at the end of November 2013, the film "The Powerful" was released. It stated that during Skrynnik's work as minister, 39 billion rubles were stolen. During the investigation, deputy ministers were detained, but the former head of the Skrynnik staff, Oleg Donskikh, fled abroad.

According to many experts, the action launched against Skrynnik was nothing more than a struggle between the elites, which was presented to the public under the guise of fighting corruption. Also, compromising information was attributed to the conflict between Skrynnik and Zubkov. As a result of the scandal in 2014, Elena was deprived of her Ph.D. degree.

In 2016, in one of the TV programs, the idea was voiced that the aggressive accusations against Skrynnik were ordered. Throughout the entire time, Elena zealously defended her innocence and disputed all the accusations addressed to her by journalists and colleagues.

However, after the start of the attacks, Elena began to live abroad, which is not hidden in the United Russia party. And even more: the Swiss services became interested in the personality of the ex-minister, which in 2015 were worried about the receipts to Elena's accounts of more than $ 100 million. In this case, $ 60 million was arrested, but the former Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation continued to deny this, claiming that has no bank accounts in Switzerland. Later, Skrynnik was able to confirm his case, and the prosecutor's office of the European country dropped the charges against her.

In 2017, the Alexei Navalny Foundation presented an investigative documentary film about the activities of Elena Skrynnik, which assessed her actions as Minister of Agriculture. But already in the fall, Ms. Skrynnik filed a lawsuit for the right to be forgotten, which solved the problem of removing information about her biography defamatory from the Internet. Skrynnik managed to prove his case and the court granted the claim.

Now Elena Borisovna is returning to the political arena again. Having organized the International Institute of Agrarian Policy, Skrynnik began to create a program for the development of agriculture in Russia until 2050. The politician collaborates with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, where he is an expert in the agricultural field. Elena Skrynnik has a personal website dedicated to her professional activities, Elena Borisovna also maintains personal accounts on Facebook and Twitter, but there is no profile on Instagram.

In 2017, through the efforts of Elena Skrynnik, a competition for novice farmers “Summer Vacation in a Russian Village” was organized. More than 300 applications from 53 regions of the Russian Federation were received for participation in the event. The competition has been extended for 2018. The results of the event showed that agricultural tourism is a promising direction in the development of agriculture. According to Skrynnik's calculations, revenues from the industry could amount to up to 50 billion rubles. in year.

Elena Borisovna was awarded a number of state awards and orders of the Russian Orthodox Church.
