Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov was born on September 26, 1969 in the Latvian city of Ventspils. Parents worked as doctors in a local clinic: the father was a radiologist, the mother was a neurologist. From an early age, athletics became a serious hobby of the boy - long jump and sprint. In the 400 m race, Oleg achieved amazing results. His high school record is still officially unbeaten.

Even as a child, the boy was impressed by the railway. Oleg loved to travel around Latvia with his parents, and then made small voyages on his own. The romantic nature was amazed by the medieval castles passing by the train. Such travels left indelible memories in Belozerov's memory.

Oleg was an exemplary student at school, striving to gain knowledge, which allowed him in 1992 to successfully graduate from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance and receive a diploma in economics in industrial planning. In addition to receiving higher education, Oleg Belozerov paid a debt to the Motherland, having served for a year on the border with Norway, in Murmansk. The service was completed by a young man in a sports company.

After graduating from university, Belozerov decided to continue his studies, so he entered graduate school to obtain a Ph.D. And here success awaited him: Oleg defended his thesis on "Organization of supply logistics in vertically integrated corporate structures" and became a candidate of economic sciences.

Having received higher education, Oleg Valentinovich first worked in his specialty and gained precious experience in the chosen field of activity. As a result, the biography of Oleg Belozerov reached a different level. Thanks to hard work and perseverance, the future head of Russian Railways entered the world of power engineering, taking a leadership position in JSC Lenenergo.

Since 2000, Oleg Belozerov's career has been continuously associated with the road transport direction. The first position at the new stage of his biography was "Freight motor transport company No. 21", in which he held the position of deputy director. After working a little in his post, Oleg Valentinovich got into the office of the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the North-West Federal District, where he headed the financial and economic department.

In 2002, the future head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov, was invited to OJSC LOMO as head of corporate property management, at the end of the same year he was appointed general director of OJSC Russian Fuel Company. Two years later, Oleg Valentinovich was promoted and became deputy head of the Federal Road Agency, which he headed literally six months later. Over the next five years, until 2009 inclusive, Belozerov ran a road agency and proved his professionalism in this field.

In 2009, he was noticed in the government of the Russian Federation, where he ended up as Deputy Minister of Transport of the country. In the Ministry of Transport, the future head of Russian Railways was engaged in the development of roads and railways, having established himself as a responsible employee who, despite difficulties with the budget and investment, did a lot for the country in this direction.

During his career, the achievements of Oleg Belozerov have been repeatedly noted with honorary titles and awards. In 2004, he was awarded the badge "Honorary Worker of the Fuel and Energy Complex", in 2006 he received the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree, and in 2014, he became the owner of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 4th degree.

On August 20, 2015, Oleg Belozerov, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, was appointed head of Russian Railways. The appointment decree was signed by the Prime Minister of the country Dmitry Medvedev, who instructed Oleg Valentinovich to take up his duties in his new position without any “swing”. Belozerov managed to get this post after his predecessor Vladimir Yakunin voluntarily resigned, leaving the chair of the head of the Russian state vertically integrated company, one of the three largest in the world.

The change of leadership took place due to the fact that the former head of Russian Railways was unable to establish the work of a monopoly organization without constant preferences from the state budget. Belozerov was tasked with optimizing the industry's costs.

In the new position of the head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov was to develop promising projects planned by the former leadership, which included the reconstruction of railways in Serbia, the construction of the Trans-Korean Railway, the continuation of the construction of high-speed highways in Russia in the direction of Moscow-Kazan. At the same time, the new head of Russian Railways was tasked with “uniting approaches” in passenger transportation, reducing the percentage of passenger dissatisfaction with the services provided by the transport company and supporting the economic level of Russian Railways, preventing the enterprise from making a loss.

Belozerov is in high competition with the former head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin, who did a lot to develop the largest infrastructure monopoly, but he immediately took up his duties. The new head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov, focused on increasing the speed of traffic in Russia, and also made efforts to invest capital in this industry of the Russian Federation.

First of all, the company got rid of unprofitable assets, but at the same time continued to finance railway hospitals, clinics, as well as the football and hockey clubs Lokomotiv. The new head of Russian Railways made personnel changes, increased the flow of container traffic. Russian Railways refused to buy imported rails, instead, contracts were concluded with the Russian metallurgical companies Evraz and Mechel.

The prices for cargo transportation were raised by 9%, some privileges were canceled, which made it possible to increase the profit of Russian Railways. On the one hand, such a measure allowed the company to completely dispense with financial injections from the state, on the other hand, it became an indirect tax for Russian citizens, as the prices for transported goods increased. But already in 2016, the corporation, for the first time in recent years, reached the maximum indicators for cargo transportation.

Oleg Belozerov's personal life is as stable as his work activity. The head of Russian Railways has been married to Olga Alexandrovna since 1994 and has two children. Son Matvey was born in 1996 and receives a diploma in journalism. Daughter Veronica, born in 2001, is determined with the choice of the university. Family photos of the head of Russian Railways do not appear in the media.

Oleg Valentinovich did not appear in scandals either on career matters or on personal matters. Friends and relatives consider him an excellent family man, a caring father and a loving husband.

Oleg Belozerov's income in 2014, according to information from official sources, amounted to just over 12 million rubles, and his wife earned the same amount. Also, the head of Russian Railways owns an apartment with an area of ​​almost 220 sq. meters, cottage and land.

In 2017, the Russian Railways company under the leadership of Belozerov reached record profit indicators, which amounted to 139.7 billion rubles, which influenced the growth of the salary of the head of the holding. If in 2015 Belozerov earned 86.2 million rubles for the year, then in 2016 the amount of annual income was 172.9 million rubles. Unlike his predecessor, Belozerov files his tax return openly. This growth is due to the high efficiency of the work of Oleg Valentinovich.

In the same year, Belozerov turned to the country's leadership with a request to change the name of his position from “president” to “general director”, since the second name is accepted in international practice.

In May 2017, at a meeting with Chinese colleagues in Beijing, Oleg Belozerov felt ill, and the CEO of the Russian company was hospitalized with a diagnosis of Inflammation of appendicitis. In the hospital, Oleg Belozerov was successfully operated on.

Now Belozerov continues to improve the work of the Russian Railways holding, but in 2018 he was unable to increase the tariffs for seats in the reserved seat due to the interference of the antimonopoly service.
