Mikhail Kasyanov

Mikhail Kasyanov is a Russian opposition leader known for his outspoken criticism of the current government and the president of Russia. He entered big politics as an experienced economist in the early 1990s and rose to the rank of Prime Minister of Russia, a post he held during Vladimir Putin's first term.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Kasyanov was born on December 8, 1957 in the village of Solntsevo near Moscow in an intelligent family. His father was the director of a local school and a math teacher, and his mother was an economist. The future Russian prime minister became the youngest child and the first son of his parents - he had older sisters Irina and Tatiana.

The facts prove the need for political reform. About the experience of reforms and economic breakthrough in the early 2000s, as a politician ...

Mikhail Mikhailovich is a Russian by nationality. It is interesting that in his family on the maternal side up to the seventh generation there were exceptionally enterprising merchants and traders, people with education and not devoid of ingenuity.

School years of young Mikhail passed like all Soviet children. The teachers remembered Kasyanov as a diligent and serious guy with high academic performance. A good certificate allowed him to easily enter the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute, but after two courses, Kasyanov had to leave his studies and go to pay his debt to his homeland. He served as a future politician in the Kremlin regiment stationed in the Russian capital.

After demobilization from the ranks of the Soviet army, Mikhail Mikhailovich got a job at the Research Institute of the State Construction Committee of the USSR as a senior technician. Already in his youth, the future politician showed himself as a responsible employee, he was promoted to an engineer and transferred to work in the apparatus of the State Planning Committee of the RSFSR.

In 1981, Kasyanov recovered at the MADI for the evening department and graduated from the university in 1983, receiving a diploma in civil engineer. Later, the young engineer graduated from the Higher Economic Courses at the State Planning Committee of the USSR, which allowed him to take off on the career ladder from an engineer to the head of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations of the State Planning Commission, where at that time his mother was a senior economist of the department.

After the collapse of the Union, the State Committee of Economy of the RSFSR was abolished, and instead of it the Ministry of Economy and Finance was created, headed by the famous reformer Yegor Gaidar. Under his leadership, Mikhail Kasyanov stayed to work in his native department with a new name as deputy head of the foreign economic activity department.

In 1993, the politician was appointed to the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation to the post of head of the Department of Foreign Loans, where he clearly demonstrated his professionalism and dedication. Then the main achievement of Kasyanov was the successful work on the reconstruction of the state debt of the former USSR and on the resolution of financial issues with foreign creditors.

In May 1999, unexpectedly for everyone, Mikhail Kasyanov was appointed Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, which he was not particularly happy about. At that moment, the Russian budget was “bursting at the seams,” but the ambitious politician decided not to give up in the face of difficulties and boldly embarked on the path of restoring the country's economy.

With the coming to power of Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Mikhailovich was appointed chairman of the new government. As prime minister, Kasyanov presented a plan for reforming the system of federal executive and government bodies, which was approved by the president in 2002. Also associated with Mikhail Mikhailovich are the introduction of the "Basic Provisions of the Electricity Reform", tax reform with a reduction in value added tax.

In addition, as prime minister of the country, Kasyanov initiated the transition of military units of constant readiness to a contract basis, reforms of housing and communal services, which caused discontent among some political parties, who decided to issue a vote of no confidence to the head of government. But it failed, as it was not possible to gain the required number of votes among the State Duma deputies, which the politician practically ignored, not even appearing in the State Duma at the time of voting.

After the resignation, Kasyanov's political biography changed dramatically. Mikhail Kasyanov took the role of a critic of the authorities. He joined the public movement "Russian People's Democratic Union" and took up independent consulting on financial and legal issues.

In 2009, Mikhail Kasyanov became the author of the journalistic book “Without Putin. Political Dialogues with Yevgeny Kiselev ”. As the title promises, on the pages of the book Mikhail Kasyanov and Yevgeny Kiselev discuss, recall the Soviet years and analyze the main events of the last century.

In 2010, the former Russian prime minister with his associates Boris Nemtsov, Vladimir Milov and Vladimir Ryzhkov organized a coalition "For Russia without arbitrariness and corruption", which was later transformed into the Party of People's Freedom (PARNAS). The oppositionist categorically disapproves of Russia's policy in Ukraine, believing that Moscow has annexed Crimea, and supports the military conflict in Donbass.

In 2016, Mikhail Kasyanov became a participant in a high-profile scandal. On December 11, 2015, Alexey Navalny announced that Mikhail Kasyanov would head the coalition list in the elections to the State Duma. The oppositionists associate further provocations around Kasyanov with this event.

On April 1, 2016, the NTV channel showed the film "Kasyanov Day", which included intimate scenes allegedly by Mikhail Kasyanov and a member of PARNAS Natalia Pelevina. Also in the film there were conversations in which the politician speaks negatively about the opposition and his own party. After that, on April 12, the deputy chairman of PARNAS, Ilya Yashin, even raised the issue of refusing Kasyanov's quota for the first place in the party's list in the elections to the State Duma. But the bureau of the federal political council sided with the chairman.

Also during this period, Mikhail Kasyanov stated that he had received numerous death threats. For example, the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, posted on Instagram a video in which Kasyanov's face appeared in the sight of a rifle. The politician linked these threats with the decision to head the PARNAS list in the elections to the State Duma.

In 2016, in Strasbourg, Kasyanov promised the adviser to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko Mustafa Dzhemilev, who initiated the Crimean blockades, to return Crimea to Ukraine. Such statements aroused indignation in Russian society, which resulted in repeated attacks on the politician - in a restaurant in the capital, Kasyanov fell under the gun of a cake, and a day later he was under "egg execution."

Also, unknown persons sprayed pepper spray during a meeting between Kasyanov and activists in St. Petersburg. And during the March in memory of Boris Nemtsov in Moscow, the politician led one of the columns. During the march, a man attacked the politician and sprinkled green paint in Kasyanov's face from a syringe. The politician did not file a complaint against the offender.

The personal life of Mikhail Kasyanov is not as remarkable as his political career. The politician is married to his school friend Irina Borisova. The wife is a completely non-public person, her photos are rarely flashed in the press. At one time, she graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in economics. She taught political economy at the university. Two daughters were born in the Kasyanov family - in 1984, Natalya and in 2005, Alexandra.

The politician has a very average height of 178 cm. In his free time, the oppositionist is fond of traveling, hunting, mountain skiing, tennis and windsurfing. It is known that Kasyanov lives in the center of Moscow in an 8-room apartment with an area of ​​427 sq. m. According to the cadastral value, the housing of the former prime minister of the Russian Federation is estimated at 170 million rubles.

In 2019, Kasyanov again criticized the policies of Vladimir Putin, commenting in an interview with the President's Direct Line. According to Mikhail Mikhailovich, the system for the distribution of budgetary funds created in the country is ineffective and leads to stagnation in the economy. According to Kasyanov, the president does not have a clear program aimed at correcting the situation as a whole, and the system of national projects is only necessary for the development of funds from the state treasury.

In connection with the flooding in the Irkutsk region, Kasyanov again drew public attention to the fact that the authorities continue to ignore the problem of public safety in civilian conditions.

All services were not ready for the events associated with an anomalous rise in the water level in the rivers of the region. People had to survive by self-organization. The authorities were only able to respond to the tragedy by conducting a number of prosecutorial inspections and initiating administrative cases against the mayor's office of the affected cities.

Mikhail Mikhailovich also expressed his opinion about the Kremlin's foreign policy. He argues that the actions on the economic blockade of Georgia after the incident on the Rustavi 2 TV channel with an aggressive statement against Vladimir Putin only confirm the impotence of the Russian authorities, which "by suffocation are trying to drag this country into Moscow's orbit." With regard to the West, according to Mikhail Kasyanov, Russia has chosen the path of self-isolation, which is becoming a dead end for it.
