Nikolay Patrushev

Due to the news agenda, which brings to the fore the issues of the country's security, the name of Nikolai Patrushev is increasingly appearing in the media. Having started his career with work in the state security agencies in the Leningrad region, Patrushev twenty years later became the head of the FSB of Russia. After a decade of service, in May 2008, newly elected President Dmitry Medvedev appointed him Secretary of the country's Security Council. Manages the structure to this day.

Nikolai Patrushev's paternal grandfather was a peasant in the village of Podomo (now the village of Ilyinsko-Podomskoye), which is located 700 km southeast of Arkhangelsk. The son of Plato was born shortly after the revolution. The family lived in poverty, and at the age of 20, Plato joined the Navy.

The Great Patriotic War found him in the Baltic. The father of the future head of the FSB served on the destroyer Threatening, was the deputy commander of the destroyer Active. The young man's courage can be judged by his awards, among which were two medals and three orders. Platon Patrushev returned to a peaceful life as a captain of the 1st rank.

The war did not pass by the future wife of Platon Ignatievich. Antonina Nikolaevna was educated as a chemist. When the war between the USSR and Finland began, she got a job as a nurse. She helped in hospitals during the blockade of Leningrad.

The son, who was named Kolya, was born to a couple in Leningrad on July 11, 1951. The boy attended one of the oldest educational institutions in the northern capital - school No. 221 on Gorokhovaya Street was founded in 1860. The emphasis in teaching was on the study of the French language.

In 1968, three graduates graduated from school together with Patrushev, who later also became famous. Among them are the coach of the national judo team Alexander Korneev; Boris Gryzlov, a politician, now the head of United Russia; TV journalist Vladimir Mukusev, well-known on the program "Vzglyad". Two years later, the future governor of the northern capital Georgy Poltavchenko graduated from the same school.

Patrushev received his higher education at the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute. Perhaps the choice of the path was influenced by the stories of his father, a naval sailor. As a graduate of the Faculty of Instrumentation, Nikolai stayed to work in the design bureau of the university, but not for long. In the same 1974 he was included in the number of students of the higher courses of the KGB in the capital of the Byelorussian SSR. He graduated from them in 1975. At the age of 24, Nikolai Patrushev began his career in the state security agencies.

Patrushev spent 17 years working in the counterintelligence structure of the KGB. First he took up the position of an ordinary operative; climbing the career ladder, he reached the post of head of the anti-smuggling and anti-corruption unit. In 1992 he became the Minister of Security of the Republic of Karelia, remained in the region for two years.

After working in Karelia, he was entrusted with the post of head of the FSB unit, which monitored the observance of laws and regulations by the service employees. After four years as head of the Internal Security Directorate, in 1998, Patrushev moved to the Kremlin for virtually a similar job.

Having headed the Main Control Department of the Presidential Administration, he audited the functioning of state-owned enterprises. It is noteworthy that his predecessor in this post was Vladimir Putin.

Patrushev worked in the Administration of the Head of State for only four months. After resignation, he returned to the FSB: he was appointed deputy director of the organization. Less than a year later, in August 1999, Nikolai Patrushev became the director of a law enforcement structure and remained in office for 10 years.

During the period of Patrushev's leadership of the Federal Security Service, there have been a number of the largest terrorist attacks in the country's history: the explosions of houses in Buinaksk, Moscow, Volgodonsk, the seizure of the theater on Dubrovka, the terrorist attack at the Wings rock festival, the murder of Akhmat Kadyrov, the explosions of two planes, the seizure of students in Beslan ... In the second half of the 2000s, the number of terrorist attacks decreased by 2-3 times in comparison with the statistics of previous years.

In May 2008 he was appointed Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. This is an advisory structure under the head of state, which ensures the preparation of his decisions in the field of security.

While Patrushev was in charge of the FSB, five people attended this post: Vladimir Putin, Sergei Ivanov, Vladimir Rushailo, Igor Ivanov, Valentin Sobolev. Today Patrushev's term of service in the post of Secretary of the Security Council is the longest in the history of the post.

Nikolai Patrushev has a family: his wife Elena and two adult sons. Children follow in their father's footsteps. The eldest son Dmitry Patrushev has headed the Ministry of Agriculture since May 2018. Prior to that, he worked in state-owned enterprises of the financial sector. The second son Andrei is a graduate of the FSB Academy. Three years after graduation, he was appointed advisor to the head of Rosneft.

Zhukov for the creation of a textbook for training FSB officers sent to the North Caucasus to fight terrorism.
