Sergey Sobyanin is a Russian statesman and political figure, a representative of the working class, who managed to prove his effectiveness in the management sphere. Despite his intelligent manners and positive attitude, Sobyanin is distinguished by his tough character and hard work, thanks to which Sergey Semenovich was able to build a career and enter the circle of the head of state.
Childhood[]
Sergey Semenovich Sobyanin was born on June 21, 1958 in the Tyumen region, in the village of Nyaksimvol. Father Semyon Fedorovich worked as chairman of the village council, and later became director of the creamery. Mother Antonina Nikolaevna worked as an economist and held the position of accountant under the guidance of her husband - first in the village council, and then at the creamery. The future mayor of Moscow was the youngest child in the family; he has 2 older sisters, Natalya and Lyudmila.
There were disputes in the press about the nationality of Sergei Semenovich - journalists “found” family ties between the politician and the Ural Cossacks, and with representatives of the Mansi people. However, in his autobiography for the election commission for the post of governor of the Tyumen region, Sobyanin called himself Russian.
Sergey Semenovich's childhood was the same as that of other children. The future politician became a diligent student, successfully graduated from Berezovsky secondary school and in 1975 moved to Kostroma, where he entered the local technological institute. In 1980, having received a honors diploma in mechanical engineering technologist, he immediately entered the workforce and was assigned to work as an engineer at the Kostroma woodworking machine plant.
In his youth, Sobyanin decided to expand his own higher education and entered the correspondence department of the Ulyanovsk branch of the All-Union Legal Correspondence Institute. In 1989, Sergei Semenovich received a law degree, and 10 years later he defended his dissertation and received a candidate of legal sciences degree.
Career and politics[]
The future Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation got into politics from the Komsomol organization of the Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant, where he worked as a shop foreman. In 1982, the biography of Sergey Semenovich received a political direction, and Sobyanin became the head of the organizational department of the Leninsky district committee of the Komsomol of Chelyabinsk. After 2 years, he was sent to the city of Kogalym, where he first took the position of head of housing and communal services, and later became head of the city tax inspectorate.
Since 1991, Sergei Semenovich’s career growth began to rapidly gain momentum: first, Sobyanin was appointed head of the administration of Kogalym, and after 2 years the manager became the first deputy head of the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug. This post paved the way for the politician to the Khanty-Mansiysk District Duma, which he headed in 1996.
In 2001, the future mayor of the Russian capital was elected governor of the Tyumen region, and a few months after his appointment he received membership in the supreme council of the all-Russian party “United Russia”. In 2005, Sergey Sobyanin joined the Russian Presidential Administration and was appointed its head. Therefore, Sergey Semenovich moved to Moscow and relieved himself of his gubernatorial duties.
His political career in the capital developed just as rapidly: in 2006, the manager became a member of the commission on military-technical cooperation, in 2008 he headed the election campaign of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and in 2009, he became the head of the board of directors of Channel One.
After Medvedev’s victory in the presidential election, Sergey Semenovich received the position of chief of staff of the government headed by Vladimir Putin, and, accordingly, the status of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and also became a member of the commission for economic development of the Russian Federation and joined the Skolkovo board of trustees.
Mayor of Moscow[]
In the fall of 2010, after the resignation of the former mayor of the capital, Yuri Luzhkov, Sergey Sobyanin became one of four candidates for the post of mayor of the capital from United Russia. After he was confirmed as mayor of Moscow, his powers as Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation were removed, and Sergey Semenovich immediately began to solve the problems of the city, which, in his opinion, consisted of traffic jams and corruption.
The achievements of Sergey Sobyanin as mayor of the capital a year later were appreciated by his colleagues and the country's leadership. The politician managed to stop the destruction of historical Moscow, establish a fight against organized crime and illegal trade, achieve the development of public transport, ensure transparency of the city budget, and modernize the city's education and healthcare systems.
In 2012, after Medvedev adopted the law on the return of direct elections of regional heads, Sergey Sobyanin resigned and decided to run for the post of mayor of the city as a self-nominated candidate.
On September 8, 2013, Sergey Semenovich was re-elected to the post of mayor of Moscow in the first round of voting. Sobyanin won more than 51% of the vote, and his main rival Alexei Navalny received support from 27% of the population.
As mayor, Sobyanin takes care of the restoration of architectural monuments. Preservation of cultural heritage, according to Sergey Semenovich, is one of the priority areas in the work of the Moscow City Hall. He noted that under his leadership, as of the fall of 2015, 6 hundred objects, 4 thousand facades of buildings of historical significance had been restored, and about 200 buildings that had previously been scheduled for demolition were preserved. Under Sobyanin, the procedure for recognizing buildings of historical significance as cultural and architectural monuments was simplified.
At the beginning of 2016, the mayor of the city allowed the demolition of the so-called unauthorized buildings located near metro stations. In winter, workers removed more than 100 shopping pavilions in one night. The press dubbed this event the “Night of the Long Buckets.” There were some doubts about the legality of the actions of the Moscow authorities. To this, Sobyanin noted that “the truth, heritage and history of the country are not sold in Russia.”
In 2017, renovation of the capital's housing stock continued. Part of the renovation is a program for recycling Khrushchev buildings, which has caused concern among the residents of these houses. Sobyanin told reporters that those houses will be demolished if more than half of the residents vote for relocation.
Also in the spring, the mayor approved the launch of a new project called “Moscow Doctor”. Its essence was to assign such a title to specialists who proved that their qualifications, experience and professional level are above basic requirements and meet international standards.
In mid-June 2018, in the center of Moscow, on Pokrovka, in the Central House of Entrepreneurs, the election headquarters of Sergey Sobyanin opened. He announced his intention to participate in the elections for the mayor of Moscow on May 26 at the celebration of the birthday of the Active Citizen project in Gorky Park. The politician again achieved victory and recognition from the residents of the capital. According to the exit poll, 70.17% of Moscow voters cast their votes for him.
In 2020, the world was shocked by the coronavirus pandemic. Measures have been taken in different parts of the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19. At the beginning of the year, Moscow became one of the leaders among Russian cities in terms of the number of cases. The mayor of the capital has the difficult task of minimizing the risk of infection among the population.
For the purpose of prevention, the Moscow government has introduced strict measures. Sobyanin proposed introducing temporary distance learning for pupils and students. To limit the movement of older people around the city, free and discounted travel using Troika cards was blocked.
Other residents of the capital were advised to self-isolate, especially those who came from abroad. Fines were issued to violators of the quarantine regime. These and other measures ultimately led to the stabilization of the picture during the first wave of coronavirus infection.
To support the people in a difficult situation, the mayor of the capital has appointed benefits for children whose parents switched to remote work. This situation was maintained until the fall of 2020, when there was an increase in the number of cases again. In September, the politician gave a long interview on the Russia 24 channel, where he spoke about the development of a vaccine against COVID-19 and plans for improving the city. Sergey Semenovich had to again develop measures to prevent the second wave from having a detrimental impact on the life of the capital.
In addition to the “coronavirus” policy, the mayor did not forget about current issues to improve the living conditions of the capital’s citizens. So, in October, Sobyanin signed a decree increasing the cost of living for pensioners.
In addition, the opening of a 10 km road connecting the Moscow Ring Road with the Third Ring Road became important in the life of Moscow. The appearance of this highway helped relieve congestion on Kutuzovsky and Michurinsky Avenues, as well as Mozhaiskoye Highway. Earlier, on the occasion of City Day, the mayor gave the residents of the capital another gift - a new Maryino-Salaryevo highway and a direct exit from the village of Kommunarka to the Moscow Ring Road.
Sobyanin announced the Covid amnesty in the fall of 2022. The news appeared on the mayor's blog. According to the politician, Muscovites who have not paid fines received for non-compliance with medical restrictions will be exempt from administrative punishment. For other citizens who have already paid the required amounts, the city administration awarded compensation commensurate with their expenses. In total, it was planned to return 13.6 billion rubles.
By this time, the mayor reported the completion of mobilization in the city. According to Sergey Semenovich, the capital fulfilled all the tasks assigned to the Ministry of Defense, and by October it began closing military recruitment centers. All summonses for which city residents had not yet appeared at the military registration and enlistment office were cancelled.
Sergey Sobyanin now[]
Now Sergey Semenovich is not reducing the activity of his activities; at the beginning of 2023, a new phase of his project “Moscow Longevity” was launched. Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova presented a new line of products as part of this program.
The achievements of Sergey Sobyanin as mayor of the city were appreciated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. In June 2023, the head of state signed a decree awarding Sergey Semenovich the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree. The congratulation was timed to coincide with the politician’s anniversary.
The main event of the year for the mayor was the preparation for the elections of the mayor of Moscow. Sergey Sobyanin was nominated by the United Russia party. His opponents were representatives of different parties and self-nominated candidates, such as Dmitry Gusev, Vladislav Davankov, Leonid Zyuganov, Boris Chernyshov. The elections took place from 8 to 10 September 2023. Sergei Semenovich won with 76.39% of the votes.
