The head of the family returned to his homeland and became the head of the collective farm. Vera Alekseevna, the mother of Mikhail Ignatiev, worked on a collective farm, while they had 8 children in marriage.

The future statesman graduated from school in the village of Yanyshi. Then he entered the energy technical school in Cheboksary, and immediately after receiving his diploma he got a job as a loader. Such a biography allowed Mikhail Ignatiev to look like "his own man" in the eyes of voters - a native who grew up in an ordinary family.

Mikhail Vasilyevich joined the army in 1981, and was assigned to Penza. After serving the allotted 2 years, he returned home. Soon he met his future wife Larisa Yurievna. She was a young specialist who graduated from the Kanash Pedagogical School.

Arriving on assignment to the village of Yanyshi, the primary school teacher met Mikhail and, according to her, fell in love at first sight. A year and a half passed before the wedding. Larisa Yuryevna shared in an interview that what attracted her most was confidence in her husband, and also that he was respected both at school and in the village.

The couple had two children - Maria and Ivan. In general, the personal life of a politician often came under the scrutiny of the media and bloggers. Among the residents of Chuvashia, there is an opinion that the head of the republic and his wife are looking at the front part of public life. Although Larisa Yurievna often visited orphanages and boarding schools, trying to delve into the problems of the most vulnerable segments of the population.

The career of the future politician began immediately after graduating from college. Since that time, Mikhail has changed several labor professions, starting from a loader and ending with the head of the production site. Diligence and striving are the qualities that allowed him to be elected to the post of chairman of the collective farm board. Soon the man graduated with a degree in agronomy.

The politician served as a deputy of the Council of People's Deputies from 1990 to 1994. In parallel, he was the head of Progress CJSC, which he himself created on the basis of a collective farm in 1992.

The next step in Ignatiev's career is the position of Deputy Minister of Agriculture. The rapid turn in the labor sphere demanded new knowledge from Mikhail, so in 1997-1999 the statesman again tried on the role of a student. The man studied at Cheboksary University and received a diploma in jurisprudence, and then underwent professional training at the Faculty of Management at the Volga-Vyatka Academy.

The time spent on gaining knowledge was not in vain. Already in 1999, Ignatiev was elected to the post of head of the self-government of the Cheboksary region. Three years later, by decree of the then still acting President of the Chuvash Republic, Nikolai Fedorov, he took up the post of Minister of Agriculture.

Initially, Ignatiev was listed in the ranks of the Agrarian Party of Russia. In 2003 he was nominated to the State Duma. However, the elections failed to overcome the 5 percent barrier, which is why Mikhail was never able to get a seat in the State Duma. After such a failure, the politician moved to United Russia.

Putin dismissed the head of Chuvashia due to loss of trust The head of the Chuvash Republic, Mikhail Ignatiev, was removed ...

In 2010, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, being the head of the Russian Federation, nominated Ignatiev for the post of President of Chuvashia. On August 29, 2010, Mikhail Vasilyevich took office for a 5-year term, and in 2011, in connection with the introduction of amendments to the constitution, he began to be called the head of the Chuvash Republic.

According to the legislation, the term of office of the head expired in August 2015. In this regard, Mikhail Vasilyevich resigned in a few months, becoming temporarily acting on the appointment of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Early elections were held, in which Ignatiev received 65.54% of the vote. So the politician was re-elected to a new 5-year term in the same position.

On January 29, 2020, the head of the Chuvash Republic was removed from his post. The reason for the resignation was a small video on the Internet.

Mikhail Ignatiev's loss of trust is associated with two high-profile scandals in which the head was the main person involved. On January 19, at a meeting timed to coincide with the day of the Russian press, Mikhail Vasilyevich inadvertently expressed himself about people whose work is connected with the media.

So, the politician said that it is necessary to "kill the journalists." Public outrage was not long in coming. However, this incident was not the last, and a new scandal followed. While Ignatiev handed the keys to the Emergencies Ministry officer from the new special equipment at an official ceremony, he lifted them up, as if forcing the rescuer to jump.

Videos and photos of this moment quickly spread on the Internet. The indignation was caused by the official's disrespectful attitude towards people who are saving lives.

Ignatiev did not agree with the accusations against him, calling his views on his attitude towards the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations "speculation and gossip." It was with this wording that the ex-head of the Chuvash Republic wrote a post on his Instagram. The politician also stressed that for 10 years he has been heading the government commission for emergency situations, therefore he has friendly relations with many rescuers.

The latest incident was the reason for the expulsion of Ignatiev from the ranks of "United Russia", as well as the removal from office of the head. Now a political and statesman Nikolayev Oleg Alekseevich has been appointed temporarily acting.

Mikhail Vasilyevich, as reported by RIA Novosti, thanked the residents of the republic for the criticism, understanding and active civil position.
