Father Vladimir Putin Spiridonovich, born in the village Pominovo Tver region, mother, Maria Ivanovna Putin (nee Shelomova) - in the neighboring village district. Grandmother, Elizabeth A. Shelomova, was shot by the Germans in the village Turginovo Tver region in October 1941. Father was in pre-war youth village Komsomol activist, participant of the war in the 50s. served to protect Railcar later was a master at the factory. Mother worked as a nurse after the war. Putin's parents moved to Leningrad from the Tver region in the late 40-ies. by the favor of the mother's brother Ivan Shelomova, naval officer (d. 1973). Both parents died of cancer, his mother - in early 1999, his father - August 2, 1999, buried in Leningrad Seraphim Cemetery.

From 1960 to 1968. Vladimir Putin went to school eight-year number 193 on the channel Griboyedov in Leningrad. After the 8th grade enrolled in secondary school number 281 in the Soviet Lane (special school with a focus on chemistry-based Institute of Technology), from which he graduated in 1970.

In 1970, Vladimir Putin joined the international department of the law faculty of Leningrad State University (LSU), where he graduated in 1975. Thesis: "The principle of the most favorable nation in international law." Ph.D. in Economics (1996, thesis defended in St. Petersburg Mining University: "Strategic Planning reproduction of the mineral resource base of the region in terms of market relations").

In the late 70's - early 80-ies. Vladimir Putin graduated from the Moscow Higher School of the KGB number 1 (it - Red Banner Institute. Andropov, now - School of Foreign Intelligence). In LSU joined the Communist Party, remained a member of the Communist Party until it was banned in August 1991. During his studies at the University met Anatoly Sobchak (father of TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak), who, as assistant to the chair while he led classes in business law. After her graduation in 1975 was sent on the distribution of the KGB of the USSR.

According to the official version, all while serving in the KGB Vladimir Putin worked in the First Chief Directorate (PGU) of the KGB (foreign intelligence, now - the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service) and majored in German-speaking countries (the 4th Division of the KGB - Austria, Switzerland, Germany GDR). According to another version, was a regular contributor First (HR) department of the Leningrad KGB (Profile, 1999, № 32) and worked through the Service LenUGB own safety.

In 1981 or 1982. Vladimir Putin was sent to East Germany, where he worked in Leipzig ("under the roof" House of the Soviet-German friendship) and Dresden. In Dresden Radebergershtrasse lived on the street ("Version", № 3 (77), January 25-31, 2000).

Supervised by the KGB Soviet behavior of students in the GDR. According to the German newspaper "Frankfurter Rundschau", the responsibilities of Vladimir Putin as if one time included the control over the Dresden Branch Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED), Hans Modrow (future last leader of the SPD and the German Democratic Republic), as well as tracing the anti-communist protests in GDR (MK, August 18, 1999).

In the GDR, Vladimir Putin was until 1987.

By assumption, the newspaper "version", Vladimir Putin by the KGB could liaise with the Swiss terrorist Bruno Breguet, 21 February 1981 exploded the headquarters of Radio "Liberty" in Munich ("Version", № 3 (77), 25-31 January 2000). Version of the newspaper "version" does not have any evidence.

In 1986 Dresden to meet with H. Modrow visited KGB chairman Vladimir Kryuchkov. V. Kryuchkov later could not remember PGU officer Vladimir Putin suggested in an interview with "Moscow News" that Putin likely was not a career intelligence officer and employee of any other department of the KGB directed a business trip in the GDR to the usual period of 5 years. The same assumption V. Kryuchkov explains Putin's return to the GDR in the Leningrad KGB to work with staff (MH, № 2 (1021), January 25-31, 2000).

In the second half of the 80s., According to some assumptions, was related to the sale of assets of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany ("... Putin may kick. Especially those who know what he did during his service in the GDR. Case of stealing Western Group of Forces property is quite dark... "(Novaya Gazeta, № 39 (d), 21-24 October 1999). As if was also involved in unprofitable for the state to lease the building of the Berlin Russian Cultural Centre ("... the first theft experience he received during his stay in Germany. It was then Putin together with Shokhiny Poltoranin and managed to "steal" a huge building cultural center Russia in Germany. They rented it for a symbolic penny fifty years some German company with a microscopic charter capital. Course this firm immediately immediately gave the building to sublease, but for very large sums of money in the normal German prices." (NovG., № 49, December 27, 1999 - January 2, 1999).

However, these assumptions are poorly substantiated and likely arose under the influence of information on the activities of Putin (under the supervision of Pavel Borodin) on restructuring the Russian overseas property 10th years later. Putin's role in the representation of the KGB in East Germany was in the late 80s. too small. In addition, the summer 1987 Vladimir Putin has returned to his regular job in Leningrad (judging by the recollections of his housemates, get an apartment together with him). As for the scandal to the letting of the building of the Berlin Russian Cultural Centre, it took place a few years after the departure of Vladimir Putin of Germany (1990-91.). Yuri Shutov version of the GDR was returned to Leningrad, as "was seen in an unauthorized contact with a representative network of agents of the enemy" ("New Petersburg", December 24, 1998).

LSU through Rector Stanislaus Merkureva Putin renewed acquaintance with Anatoly Sobchak.

"Moskovsky Komsomolets" ascribes to the famous St. Petersburg journalist and political analyst Boris Vishnevsky version that Vladimir Putin "was assigned to Sobchak KGB. At university in the hands of VV allegedly got some dirt on Anatoly Alexandrovich... that allowed him to further manipulate the mayor "(MC, 18 August 1999). The newspaper "New Petersburg" version put forward that if there was Sobchak KGB informer at the University and as such was subordinate to Putin ("New Petersburg", December 24, 1998).

The first programmatic word Vladimir Putin as President of Russia was his message to the Federal Assembly on 8 July 2000. It took about 10 months, and approaching a new text. Presumably it will be presented on March 28. Before this date, we decided to analyze what the President was able to make a statement and promised in the last message?

Foreign policy

Vladimir Putin defined the main diplomatic goal of the country - the "rule of internal over external purposes" and "priority national tasks." President traveled abroad were numerous and almost always successful. After they opened the field of activity of intergovernmental commissions for negotiating treaties and agreements at the regional level, entrepreneurs, banks and industries. Perhaps only in Cuba Russian delegation did not achieve the desired result - nickel remained Canadians. However, the fact of the visit to the country, which fell to pieces the Soviet Union gave the arbitrariness in itself means a lot.

When Vladimir Putin came on board in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is open, and then behind closed doors taught diplomats "love affair Russia." He said that the priorities of their work "must be in the CIS." That is not the ocean, and close to the borders of Russia. Autumn in Kazakhstan for the first time held a meeting with the Russian president's former compatriots - CIS citizens. Previously, such meetings were held only with the Russian-speaking communities abroad - somewhere in England or America. Meanwhile, it is the citizens of the former Soviet Union[ru], suddenly found themselves abroad, demanding help and support.

Efforts of the Russian authorities of the CIS during this period has survived several stages of integration. Recall of some. On lasted 6:00 negotiations in Minsk to attend the summit of the CIS Leonid Kuchma was defeated multi-year ice of mistrust between Ukraine[ru] and Russia. Released to reporters in the first hour of the night, Mikhail Kasyanov, staggering from fatigue, said that a compromise on the gas issue - Ukraine guarantees that Russian gas will no longer be stolen, and Russia will give it preferential cash loans. The main thing is left behind the scenes official explanation, but it was felt in almost companionship Putin and Kuchma's the next day. Remember Putin "about vodka and fat"?

Real for the past year was the Union of Russia and Belarus. That is, he came out of the scope of declarations and became formalized in law. We are talking about money - the Federation Council ratified the agreement on March 14 on the introduction of a single currency and a single emission center of the Union State. And Heydar Aliyev, taking in Azerbaijan Vladimir Putin, was so touched by memories of his student years in Leningrad, Russia almost forgave the creation of a Eurasian Union. At least since the beginning of January of harsh statements from Baku on the subject was not.

As for the "national interest", the most striking example of this was the withdrawal of Russia from the memorandum Gore - Chernomyrdin and the revival of military-technical cooperation with Iran. Despite the hysterical reaction of the United States. Russian geopolitical strategy revised and moved from reckless follow in line with western policy to realize its Eurasian geostrategic position. Kremlin has made ​​efforts to restore ties with old partners - Cuba, Vietnam, Libya, Iraq. Russia has become harder to defend its national interests in the structures of a united Europe.

Domestic policy

In the last message the President has put Russia common diagnosis - "weak state." Accordingly, the Kremlin's efforts for the year have been directed to ensure that the state has become stronger. Institutional reforms "of collecting regions" - the envoys, the State Council, a new principle of forming the Federation Council - all this appeared, took shape and developed over the past year. And it was, in fact, a response to the idea of the message - "federal relations in Russia unfinished and not developed." Summer and fall of President's Office engaged in "bringing domestic legislation into conformity with the federal." And when it comes easier, then Vladimir Putin conducted my audit laws, which local authorities have produced during the period when Yeltsin allowed them to "swallow much sovereignty as you can."

Lower house of parliament, according to Vladimir Putin, had to suffer through the reform law "On political parties". He passed the first reading on February 7. The deputies have no doubt that he will be able to overcome the summer the second and third - so will lay the foundations of normal party system and the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Among the systemic reforms necessary for the country, the federal letter Vladimir Putin outlined municipal, union, pension. Pension reform is in full swing. And yet - successfully. The first meeting of the National Council on the pension reform, the President almost every month confers with the head of the Pension Fund Mikhail Zurabov, the promise of the quarterly increase in pensions has been contained. The problems of housing and communal services closely Vladimir Putin addressed the crisis in Primorye and travel to Siberia. But before the unions hands did not reach. Is that theory. Major illness unions Putin in a message called "formalism and obyurokrachivanie." The validity of this accusation the unions themselves have repeatedly proven this year. Most revealing fact was the fight with the government union leaders one of the Labour Code, which robs them of privileges. Most recently, they took to the streets of teachers - to protest against education reform, which, in essence, just needs to increase real earnings of teachers.

Vladimir Putin spoke about the trade unions in the context of building civil society in Russia. The same purpose served by the Kremlin launched judicial reform. And while boosting its rate failed (think President revoked the amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code), but the work is consistent. Vladimir Putin told the government that in early April is ready to formulate abstract judicial reform - after recent calculations and the Ministry of Finance in consultation with the Duma factions.

As well as to the economy and to the restructuring now under discussion include the reform of natural monopolies - MPS, RAO "UES" and "Gazprom". Although last year's federal message about them is not directly a word was said, but the activity of these giant structures are so closely linked with the economy as a whole, tariff policy, social problems of citizens and municipal reform, the question how to change them could not stay away. Traveling to Trans-Siberian Express from Tomsk to Omsk, IPU President listened Aksenenko head and decided that the prices of all transportation in the country should do a single tariff authority. The way to be RAO "UES", resolves itself now Office Anatoly Chubais, the government and even regions.

Economy

The federal letter last year Vladimir Putin has listed six challenges facing the country's leadership in the economic sphere. Recall.

Here we can recall what was said above about pension reform in the way that, according to the authorities, the pension should reflect real human labor contribution. That is, its value should be directly linked to the general labor experience, and not with the rate of the last job, as it is now. Child benefits from January 1, also awarded only to those whose gross income divided by family members nedotyagivaet to subsistence. Started - the experimental stage - education reform, suggesting capitation students that, as the power budget will save money and raise the salaries of teachers.

Thus, on all six counts, we observe some legislative movement. Another thing is that before the completion of the reform is still far.

Fundamentally different positions in the state became a stick to matters of foreign loans. Vladimir Putin last message said that their abundance - also evidence of a weak state. So the conclusion is no longer accumulate debts on existing debts and pay-general to know who took it and where it eventually delos. IMF loans "on any terms", as it was before, now Russia is not satisfied. Not later than March 14 in a live radio station "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Kudrin said that "the government does not intend to accept any conditions that may be offered to the IMF during the negotiations on the approval of the agreed program." At the same time in 2001, he predicted, new borrowing is not required, and Russia will pay the past debt "in full". Finally, it was decided to establish an effective framework for debt management.

Thus, in terms of legislation, almost all that he had promised the head of state, headway. Another thing is that now the first place there is a problem on the importance of state control over the reforms already started. Option "stuck" somewhere halfway securities traditionally high.

During this year, Vladimir Putin, it was important to gather all the threads of government in his hands, check their strength. That is to "create" the tools with which it will be possible to proceed. For example, reform of the military-industrial complex, say, or the army.

About which, incidentally, in the last federal letter did not say a word.

Vladimir Putin sketched a picture of a "strong state Russia" broad strokes. It is time to take a fine brush and paint details.
