Vladimir Puchkov was the head of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for several years. In addition to the high position of the Minister of Emergency Situations, the biography of the official is marked with an academic degree, patents for his own inventions and the military rank of lieutenant general in the reserve.

Vladimir Andreevich Puchkov was born on January 1, 1959. The homeland of the minister is the Stalingrad region (now Volgograd), a village called Novinka. In 1976, Puchkov graduated from high school and went to Tyumen, where he entered a military engineering school. Having become a certified technician, Vladimir Andreevich began military service in the Far East.

Later, for another three years (until 1986) he served as an officer in the city of Kungur (in the Perm region). In parallel, Puchkov received higher education at the Moscow Military Engineering Academy, and then studied at the post-graduate school of the same university.

In 1988, Vladimir Puchkov ended up in Armenia, where, as a deputy commander of a civil defense regiment, he helped rebuild settlements damaged after the terrible Spitak earthquake. There Vladimir Andreevich met Sergei Shoigu, who came to Armenia as a volunteer rescuer.

In 1991, after completing his postgraduate studies, Vladimir Puchkov began teaching at the Civil Defense courses. In parallel, the man held posts in the Ministry of Emergencies, from the head of the research laboratory to the head of the department of the military unit of the emergency rescue service of the department.

Having established himself as a competent and responsible specialist, already in 1995, Vladimir Andreevich achieved an appointment to the post of head of the Research Institute for Civil Defense and Emergencies of Russia, which he held for four years. After that, the official changed several leadership positions. In addition, Puchkov took part in organizing humanitarian missions in Yugoslavia, as well as in the capital of Chechnya after the terrorist attacks. In parallel, Vladimir Andreevich graduated from the Academy of Civil Service under the President of the Russian Federation.

The career of Vladimir Puchkov was rapidly going uphill, in 2006 the official was already heading the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the North-West region. In 2007, Vladimir Andreevich was appointed Deputy Sergei Shoigu (at that time the Minister of Emergencies of the Russian Federation).

In addition to the main duties of the Deputy Minister, Puchkov also participated in humanitarian missions, organized rescue and recovery campaigns in regions affected by disasters, natural disasters and hostilities.

2011 in the career of Vladimir Puchkov was marked by the official's initiative to create voluntary fire brigades. This met with a positive response from members of the Duma, and in the same year all the functions of such squads were included in the federal law of the country. However, the initiative was heavily criticized in the media.

In 2012, Sergei Shoigu left the post of head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and became the governor of the Moscow region. Later, in the same year, Shoigu became head of the Ministry of Defense, replacing Anatoly Serdyukov in this post. The vacant place of the Minister for Civil Defense and Emergencies was taken by Vladimir Puchkov.

And the very first disaster that occurred after the appointment of Vladimir Andreevich caused a storm of criticism against the latter. The fact is that a serious flood that affected many settlements in the Krasnodar Territory revealed shortcomings in the notification system for residents, as well as shortcomings in the evacuation of people.

In 2014, photos of Vladimir Puchkov reappeared in the press. This time, information about the minister's income became the reason for speculation and gossip: Vladimir Andreevich was included in the list of 20 officials who earned the most money at the end of the year.

The next year, Vladimir Puchkov devoted to the elaboration of patterns of behavior and rapid response in conditions of climatic cataclysms (freezing rains, hail, hurricanes and floods). According to the official, clear guidelines have been prepared for the evacuation of people, as well as the supply of water and food to the affected regions.

In 2016, the media reported about the possible resignation of Vladimir Puchkov. The events in Irkutsk became the reason for such rumors: forest fires caused significant damage to the region, in addition, one of the aircraft crashed, which took off to extinguish the fires. The situation was aggravated by reports of the situation in the Komi Republic, where the rescuers died. However, despite the speculation and assumptions, Vladimir Puchkov remained at his post.

A year later, Minister Puchkov said that in 2017 the number of man-made fires was 6% lower than last year. In addition, Vladimir Andreevich emphasized that more than 200 emergencies were successfully resolved by the joint efforts of doctors, firefighters, medical workers and other professionals.

The personal life of the head of the ministry was happy. Vladimir Puchkov has a big family: the wife of Vladimir Andreevich gave his wife four children - three sons and a daughter.

In one of the interviews, the official shared his family tradition: an hour before the New Year, the post of minister obliges Puchkov to hold a meeting and receive reports on the operational situation. In honor of the holiday, Vladimir Alexandrovich brought his sons to work to spend the New Year's Eve with them.

At the beginning of 2018, the minister announced that the year will be held under the auspices of security culture. As part of this, Vladimir Andreevich intended to organize events and lectures that will help ordinary people prepare for possible emergencies, learn how to behave in difficult situations and learn safety rules. These activities are designed for both adults and schoolchildren.

Another major challenge for 2018 is to ensure the safety of spectators and athletes during the FIFA World Cup. Vladimir Puchkov assured that the necessary exercises have already been carried out, which will help rescuers and first responders to make the right and quick decisions in unplanned situations.

On March 18, 2018, the presidential elections in Russia were held, in which Vladimir Putin won again. After taking office, Vladimir Putin offered the post of prime minister to Dmitry Medvedev. On May 18, the new composition of the Russian government was announced to journalists. Vladimir Puchkov did not retain his position, the former security guard of the president Yevgeny Zinichev was appointed the new head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Many associate this decision not in favor of Puchkov, including with the tragedy in the Kemerovo "Winter Cherry".
