Viktor Zimin

Viktor Mikhailovich Zimin is the head of the Republic of Khakassia, a Russian politician, a former deputy of the State Duma, a member of the United Russia party.

Viktor Zimin was born on August 23, 1962 in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (the village of Disos, Krasnoturansky District) in the family of workers of the local state farm Mikhail Mikhailovich and Marta Karlovna Zimin.

His father is Russian by nationality, and his mother is German, who came to Siberia during the Stalinist repressions. The baby was transported to the Khakass Autonomous Region, the village of Katanovo, where he graduated from the 8th grade of a local school. During the holidays, the boy worked with his parents on a state farm.

In 1982, Viktor Zimin graduated from the Abakan Agricultural College, department of industrial and civil construction. Then he went into the army, into the tank troops, and rose to the rank of senior sergeant.

The working biography of the future politician began with the profession of an electrician-assembler in one of the SMPs of the Irkutsk Construction and Installation Department. Then he worked as a foreman in "Dorstroy" in the Krasnoyarsk railway department, where he participated in the construction and repair of sections of the track and adjacent objects (boiler houses, schools). For a good job, he was promoted first to a foreman, and then to a section chief.

In 1985, Zimin became the chief engineer of the SMU Bogotol (Krasnoyarsk Territory), supervised the construction of a local station, and then he was appointed head of the Construction and Installation Department.

6 years later, the current head of Khakassia becomes the supervisor of the construction of the Achinsk branch of the railway, and a year later - the deputy head of the Abakan branch of the railway, the head of the directorate of facilities under construction, in 2001 he was awarded the title of "Honorary railroad worker".

During this period, Viktor Mikhailovich engaged in entrepreneurial activity: he opened a horse farm in his native village of Kotanovo, founded a hunting farm, which journalists called "Zimin's capture", and local residents dubbed "Disneyland".

This project of the head of Khakassia caused a negative attitude among the residents of the region and journalists. Questions arose: what income on the protected lands has appeared a luxurious recreation center with expensive VIP interiors, which hosts famous politicians.

In 1999, Viktor Zimin's political career began: he became one of the founders of the Unity movement, and then the head of the Bear Foundation, whose task was to raise funds for the United Russia party. In the elections on December 26, 2004, Zimin was elected a deputy of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Khakassia from the United Russia party.

In 2007, the politician headed the list of United Russia in the elections, became a member of the State Duma and entered the Committee on Agrarian Issues. In the same year he graduated from the Tomsk Architectural University, faculty of "automotive industry".

In 2008, Viktor Zimin became the head of United Russia in Khakassia. President Dmitry Medvedev offered him the post of governor of his native land. Local deputies voted in favor (3 abstentions out of 66).

On January 15, 2009 Zimin took over as chairman of the government of the Republic of Khakassia. In the same year, by decree of the President of Russia, the head of Khakassia was introduced to the Presidium of the State Council of the Russian Federation.

The governor's career began with several high-profile and controversial decisions: the cancellation of the upcoming unification of Khakassia with the Krasnoyarsk Territory, an appeal to the citizens of the republic not to leave their homes, fleeing a possible platinum breakthrough (after the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station on September 17, 2009).

Upon the expiration of his term as governor in 2013, Vladimir Putin appointed Viktor Zimin as the interim head of the Republic of Khakassia. In the elections in September 2013, the politician won a landslide victory, gaining 63.41% of the votes in the first round.

The Khakass governor is actively involved in the public life of the region. In 2011, he attended RUSAL's youth rally, spoke to young metallurgists. In 2012, he appeared at the celebrations dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the Bogradsky district, at the opening ceremony of the restored sections of roads, as well as the new building of the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia in the Republic of Khakassia.

The name of Viktor Zimin was mentioned in the media in connection with a number of arrests of members of his administration. However, official sources did not confirm the governor's involvement in these cases.

Viktor Mikhailovich Zimin is the father of three daughters. His wife Tatiana is a teacher and also the owner of the Katanov LLC farm, which previously belonged to her husband, and one of the co-founders of the Prommetall company.

The daughters also inherited a business from their father: the eldest - family peasant lands, and the youngest - "Siberian Spaces", a hunting and fishing farm. The middle daughter received her diplomatic education abroad.

The politician actively maintains pages on Twitter and Instagram. There Zimin publishes photos and reports about his public, political and sometimes personal life.

Now news about the life of the head of the Republic of Khakassia is inextricably linked with the gubernatorial elections on September 9, 2018, where in the first round Zimin from the United Russia party lost to the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Valentin Konovalov.

According to analysts, Viktor Zimin has few chances to win the second round of elections. Unconfirmed information has appeared in the media that the Kremlin wants the governor to resign before the start of the second round. However, the United Russia candidate said he was confident of victory.
