Vitaliy Mutko

Vitaly Mutko is the main character of Russian sports from 2012 to 2016. Since the inception of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation, for a long time he was the only and constant head of the department. He is the ex-president of the RFU, ex-deputy chairman of the government of the Russian Federation for construction and regional development (2018–2020).

Vitaly Leontievich Mutko was born on December 8, 1958. The family lived near the city of Tuapse, in the village of Kurinskaya (Krasnodar Territory). Vitaly Leontyevich's nationality is Russian. The parents of the future official were ordinary people: his father worked as a loader, and his mother was a machine operator at the timber industry enterprise.

Since childhood, dreaming of becoming a sea captain, after the 8th grade he went to Rostov-on-Don and wanted to enter the river school, but failed the entrance exams. Then the purposeful young man did not lose heart and clearly decided not to return home with nothing - he went to Leningrad and entered a construction vocational school, from where a year later he transferred to a professional nautical school in Petrokrepost, from which he graduated with honors and received a minder's diploma.

For the next 2 years after graduating from vocational school, Vitaly Leontyevich was a sailor in the Leningrad seaport on board excursion motor ships and dry-cargo ships "river-sea", on which he repeatedly went abroad. In 1978, the future Russian statesman entered the Leningrad River School, and then decided to continue his education and became a student at the Institute of Water Transport.

After graduating from the university, Mutko entered the St. Petersburg State University at the Faculty of Economics, and in 2006 became a candidate of economic sciences, defended his dissertation at the State University of Economics and Finance.

In his youth, Vitaly Mutko was active along the Komsomol line, which in 1979 brought the young man to the CPSU. Party work made the future Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation the head of the Kirovsky district of St. Petersburg.

Support and dedication to Anatoly Sobchak allowed Vitaly Leontyevich to reach heights in politics - he oversaw healthcare, culture and sports at the St. Petersburg City Hall. At that time, Sobchak's team included famous political figures of Russia, including Vladimir Putin.

In 1992, Mutko got into Russian football and became the curator of the Zenit football club, which he later headed. In 1996, Vitaly Leontyevich's political career was under threat, since the entire Sobchak team, if he lost the election, promised to resign. As a result, the ex-mayor of St. Petersburg lost the fight for the seat of the head of the city, but only Mutko, Kozak and Putin left the government.

Soon the future Minister of Sports devoted himself to work in the football club "Zenith". In this position, Vitaly Mutko brought the team to a decent level, introduced the team to the elite of Russian football. He led the team until 2003.

In 2000, the presidential elections ended with the victory of Vladimir Putin, thus opening the way for Mutko to the world of politics and sports. His first step in climbing to political heights was the post of president of the RFPL, and in 2005 he was appointed head of the Russian Football Union.

In 2008, after Dmitry Medvedev became the head of the Russian Federation, and Putin became the Prime Minister of the country, Vitaly Mutko headed the newly created Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy, while not losing the portfolio of the President of the RFU.

In 2009, the official became a member of the executive committee of the International Football Federation (FIFA), and in the fall fell into disgrace with the country's top leaders. In particular, Medvedev said that sports organizations should not be headed by civil servants, but by professionals who are ready to give sports 24 hours a day, thereby focusing on the profile minister. Then Mutko left the post of President of the RFU, retaining the portfolio of the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation.

In 2015, Vitaly Mutko regained the position of head of the Russian Football Council: on September 2, he was elected to the post of President of the RFU, as he was an uncontested candidate. Until September 2016, the statesman combined work in the ministry and the RFU.
