Marina Kovtun

After the second Sunday in September 2018, the attention of residents in 80 regions of Russia was riveted to the change or, conversely, to the heads of regions who remained in the field. The Governor of the Murmansk region Marina Kovtun did not participate in the elections, but, nevertheless, was a prominent figure due to frequent talks about early resignation and scandals around her name.

In 1962, in Murmansk, 2 days after the international women's holiday, the fisherman Vasily Tikhonovich Kozlov, who later became the Hero of Socialist Labor, had his only daughter, Marina. Then the family lived in a small two-story house on the street. Radishchev, 46.

As a child, the girl dreamed of helping people and becoming a doctor. During the school period, she proved herself to be an active and responsible pioneer. To study at a trade college, she moved to Penza, where her mother Olga Ilinichna was from, then entered the capital's Higher School of the Komsomol.

The industriousness inherited from his father and dedication helped to get into the regional committee and take the first leading post in the regional committee of the Komsomol.

In 1993, a new stage in her career began - work in the administration of her native land, where Marina was responsible for social protection of the population, and later in charge of the affairs of the regional government. In parallel, she graduated from the Academy of Civil Service. Then she was engaged in the development of regional tourism, then she was invited to the federal agency in Moscow. Upon her return, she became the head of a subsidiary of MMC Norilsk Nickel.

In 2011, she was elected to the local Duma. The following year, Kovtun replaced the dismissed Dmitry Dmitrienko, and a week later she tried on the role of governor. She later honestly stated that the inauguration

She ran again and remained for a second term. Kovtun is the third representative of the fairer sex, leading the region of Russia, after Valentina Matvienko (St. Petersburg) and Natalia Komarova (KhMAO). According to a poll by the Ogonyok magazine, she was 55th out of 100 influential women in the Russian Federation. Subordinates and competitors note the domineering and strong-willed character of Marina, which seems to have hardened in the harsh climatic conditions of the North, taking into account the Komsomol past.

The Kovtuns met a long time ago, while still students. The wedding took place in 1984, when the bride was 22 years old. And since then, the couple has not parted, walking hand in hand throughout their lives, even performed the sacrament of the wedding. And they have one hobby for two - fishing.

The family has two children: Marina was born in 1985, 11 years later Alexander appeared. By the way, the father chose the name of the girl in honor of his wife, as she confessed in one interview, "from great love." Despite the constant workload, the official finds time to pamper loved ones with rich borscht and support with advice in any endeavors.

However, this patronage extends beyond the home. It is known that her husband Vasily Kovtun was engaged in business and owned a share in the tourist company "Murmansk Coast".

The son and daughter, if you believe the news, led a secular lifestyle (they were even seen at the KVN game), and now they are in high positions in Gazprom and Rosneft, which caused a number of dissatisfied and harsh comments. By the way, these comments were herself "the mother of the Arctic", as Marina is called, as "unprecedented pressure on her and her family."

Now the ex-governor is fond of sports - he goes skiing, shoots a small-caliber rifle and a pistol. Loves hockey.

Persons with such a surname associated with government activities are not rare. For example, Vyacheslav Kovtun is a Ukrainian political scientist, Olga Kovtun is a former Minister of Health of the Perm Territory.

On September 10, 2018, having familiarized herself with the outcome of the elections, the Governor delivered congratulations to the representatives of United Russia, who won a landslide victory. Despite the tense atmosphere, Marina Kovtun, since 2012, continued to hold on to her position and managed the region, actively attending the opened cultural centers, schools, kindergartens and maternity hospitals.

At first glance, outwardly, the "iron lady" was not embarrassed by another criticism. This is understandable - the situation is not new. For example, at the beginning of her career in her post, she had to face a social protest on the issue of housing and communal services. And Kovtun decided the issue simply: she advised those who were indignant and dissatisfied to go to court, and she nicknamed the media that covered this moment “network hamsters”.

In 2017, the governor's income amounted to more than 4 million rubles. Against this background, the head of the family looked modest with an earnings of about 500 thousand rubles.

Along with the bills on improving the living conditions of large families, education, road repairs, demography and the pension system, Marina proposed introducing a “fine for mercy”. This means that for feeding homeless animals, a monetary penalty from 1 thousand to 2.5 thousand rubles is imposed. This amendment was immediately opposed by public figures, who sent a petition to President Vladimir Putin and the State Duma of Russia.

On March 18, 2019, the Governor of the Murmansk Region Marina Kovtun wrote a statement withdrawing her powers.
