In 2009, the then-President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev appointed Pavel Astakhov to the post of Ombudsman for the Rights of Children of the Russian Federation, and in 2011 the lawyer was awarded the highest class rank in the civil service - he was awarded the rank of actual state adviser of the Russian Federation, 1st class.

Helping young mothers led to the fact that during the 4 years of Pavel Astakhov's office as ombudsman, the number of abandoned newborns decreased by a third. Thanks to Astakhov, Russia has undergone a reform in the legislation regarding the adoption of children by foreign citizens. At the same time, the official paid attention to the fate of Russian children living abroad.

On September 9, 2016, Vladimir Putin relieved Astakhov of his duties, appointing Anna Kuznetsova to replace him. After his resignation, Astakhov's name often appeared on the pages of the media because of the ambiguous statements of the Ombudsman and claims against him from the Anti-Corruption Department.

Pavel Astakhov's personal life is stable and transparent. Back in 1987, the then young lawyer was still beginning to get married and has been happily married for more than 30 years.

The man has 3 sons - Anton, Artem and Arseny. The eldest and middle sons of Astakhov followed in the footsteps of Pavel Alekseevich and, having received a higher education, began to work in the government apparatus of their father. Astakhov's youngest son was born in 2009 in Nice, where he still lives with his mother.

The Astakhov family has sometimes become the object of criticism in society, since the children and the spouse of the children's rights commissioner of the Russian Federation live abroad and own elite real estate. In 2013, the family was forced to move from Nice to Monaco, as the French authorities banned Astakhov from entering the country due to the official's support of the Dima Yakovlev Law, which provides for a complete ban on the adoption of Russian orphans by foreigners.
