Sergey Zheleznyak

Sergey Vladimirovich Zheleznyak is a Russian statesman, in the past he was a prominent businessman. He holds the post of Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and is Deputy Secretary of the General Council of United Russia. Zheleznyak is the author and co-author of many resonant and even scandalous laws. For example, Sergei Vladimirovich is related to bills banning the adoption of children by Americans, on toughening penalties for participating in unauthorized actions, on the indexation of pensions, but most of all his attention is occupied by the worldwide Internet. Zheleznyak raised questions about the taxation of bloggers, as well as the tightening of the fight against portals that post films, music and books in the public domain.

Sergei's hometown is St. Petersburg, which at the time of his birth was still called Leningrad. From an early age, the boy dreamed of a military career, so as a teenager he entered the Leningrad Nakhimov Naval School, which he graduated in 1987. Then, in the biography of Sergei Zheleznyak, a higher educational institution appears - the Kiev Higher Naval Political School. The young man graduated from there with the rank of lieutenant just before the collapse of the Soviet Union. After serving for about six months as the deputy for political affairs of the commander of a training company of gas turbine and diesel engine operators, Zheleznyak quit the army and plunged into the waves of business.

He started out as the head of the outdoor advertising department at APR Group, and later rose to the position of CEO of the Russian branch of News Outdoor. In 2007, Sergei Vladimirovich graduated from the Swiss business school "IMD International", but soon gave up business and linked his future life with politics. But two years after his dismissal, the tax service discovered that during Zheleznyak's rule, News Outdoor paid taxes incorrectly, depriving the treasury of more than a billion rubles. The company had to admit a financial mistake and pay off the debt.

With the leadership in a successful company, Sergei Vladimirovich parted ways due to the fact that he received an offer to try his hand at politics from the United Russia party. Since Zheleznyak had long felt a desire to realize himself in a new capacity, he gladly agreed and became a deputy of the State Duma of the V convocation from the United Russia party. Deputy Sergei Zheleznyak perceives his work as a service to his homeland, that is, as what he studied at the Nakhimov and Naval Schools.

Initially, Zheleznyak was a member of the Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship, later became the head of the Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, and in 2012 he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and was a member of the so-called “Big Government” of Dmitry Medvedev. In addition, Sergei Vladimirovich, as chairman, heads the All-Russian Union of Public Organizations "The People's Majority of Russia".

It should be noted that not everyone perceived Zheleznyak's work positively. He got into scandals and conflict situations several times. He was accused of tax evasion, statements were made about his involvement in electoral fraud, and in April 2013, at the tenth congress of the Russian Union of Journalists, delegates disrupted the deputy's “speech”, drowning out his speech with incessant applause. And State Duma deputy Andrei Lugovoi openly accused Zheleznyak of working for Russia's enemies and called him "an agent of Western influence."

But the most resonant statements were made by the well-known public figure Alexei Navalny, who actually caught Vice Speaker Zheleznyak of lying. In his blog, Navalny wrote that although Zheleznyak promotes patriotic education and the purchase of only domestic products, he himself does not adhere to such behavior. Three daughters of Sergei Vladimirovich received a European education in Switzerland and Great Britain, and the deputy himself almost simultaneously with his call to "buy only Russian" bought luxury cars of foreign production - "Chrysler" and "Lexus".

The first bill proposed by Zheleznyak on the placement of advertising structures was rejected by the Parliament, as its author was suspected of lobbying for the interests of News Outdoor. But later, Sergey Vladimirovich proposed a number of changes in the legislation, which his colleagues liked and entered into life. For example, he became the author of the "Law on the abolition of mobile slavery", according to which a person can change a mobile operator while maintaining the same number.

He also owns a number of bills on the protection of domestic cinema, including a decree on the abolition of the tax on ticket sales for screenings of Russian-made films. In October 2012, Zheleznyak, in collaboration with other deputies, proposed to impose sanctions and prohibit the use of foul language in the media. The law was signed by President Vladimir Putin, but later received an amendment according to which fines for the use of abusive language would not apply to live guests.

Sergei Vladimirovich Zheleznyak continued the fight for the morality of Russians with the law "On pedophilia" on the Internet and theatrical performances and a ban on advertising of sexual services. He also spoke out categorically against raising the retirement age, calling this practice a "wild social experiment." But most of all, Sergei Zheleznyak directed laws to the global Internet. He advocates that Russian firms store their data exclusively on servers located in the country, and not on foreign hosting, as is often done today.

In addition, the vice speaker planned to amend the law on advertising and oblige video bloggers to pre-conclude contracts for hidden and direct advertising inside their videos. This project is awaiting expert discussion, but has already been harshly criticized by the public. Also, a wave of indignation was caused by the amendments to the anti-piracy law, according to which not only sites that distribute books, films and music without a special license will be closed, but ordinary users who have posted content recognized as pirated on the network will also be fined.

Sergei Zheleznyak connected his personal life once and for all with the only woman, hereditary Muscovite Ekaterina Frolova, who is an economist by education. They met back in 1992, when the girl just entered the university, and got married very soon. Although there are many scandals associated with the name of Sergei Zheleznyak, even his biggest ill-wishers cannot deny that the deputy is considered a recognized family man. The Deputy Chairman of the State Duma tries very carefully to protect the private side of life and not only does not provide details of family relations, but does not even take his spouse with him to social parties and public events.

The wife of Sergei Zheleznyak gave him four daughters. The eldest daughter Anastasia was born shortly after the wedding, and the youngest in 2000, so the difference between the girls is from two to seven years. Three daughters of Sergei Zheleznyak received a deep European education. For example, Anastasia graduated from a university and a master's degree in London, married an Air Force officer and stayed to live in the UK. Daughter Elizabeth, after graduating from an English school, got a job in the English capital as an illustrator. Another daughter of Zheleznyak, Ekaterina, studied at an American school in Switzerland.

It was these circumstances that allowed Navalny to bring charges against Zheleznyak for non-compliance with his own words that his daughters, after receiving an education, are going to "come home and be useful to their native country." By the way, like many Russian politicians, Sergei Vladimirovich Zheleznyak has found himself in an extended circle of officials falling under the visa and economic sanctions of the USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland and the European Union.
