Sobyanin's main competitor, oppositionist Alexei Navalny, has published several investigations into the property of the official's daughters. In particular, Navalny demanded to explain the origin of the 308.1 sq. m, recorded for the youngest daughter of Sobyanin, 16-year-old schoolgirl Olga. The oppositionist also asked the prosecutor's office and the Investigative Committee to conduct an audit against Sobyanin's eldest daughter, whose company, according to Navalny, was engaged in the repair and supply of furniture for the Russian president's meeting room, the reception house of the Ministry of Defense and several administrative buildings in Khanty-Mansiysk.

Of course, the park area and Zaryadye Park itself need constant maintenance and replacement of paving slabs that are wear-resistant and unique in their shape.

So why are people who, in theory, should be equal to society and who, by their personal example, are obliged to show everyone their social status And family well-being, Russian officials, are getting divorced, and this is taking on a massive, endemic character in a state where there is always a shortage of money?

Prior to the post of mayor of the capital of Russia, he was the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and before that he headed the presidential administration of the Russian Federation.

The attitude towards the activities of an official among colleagues and the population is ambiguous - some consider him a statesman and a human-computer capable of performing difficult work. Others, representatives of the opposition movement, constantly criticize Sergei Semenovich, accusing him of fraud and corruption.

Childhood and youth

Sobyanin Sergey Semenovich was born on June 21, 1958 in the Tyumen region, in the village of Nyaksimvol. According to the zodiac sign Gemini. Father Semyon Fedorovich worked as the chairman of the village council, and later became the director of the oil plant.

The future mayor of Moscow was youngest child in the family, he has two older sisters, Natalia and Lyudmila.


There is no unequivocal answer to the question of who Sergei Sobyanin is by nationality. Official data says that his male ancestors were Ural Cossacks. In his autobiography for the election commission for the post of governor of the Tyumen region, Sobyanin called himself Russian and denied the information that he was a representative of the Mansi people, as written in some reference books and encyclopedias.

The childhood of Sergei Sobyanin was no different from other children. He was a diligent student and child, successfully graduated from Berezovskaya secondary school and in 1975 moved to Kostroma, where he entered the local Institute of Technology to study. In 1980, having received a red diploma as a mechanical engineering technologist, he immediately got into the workforce and worked as an engineer at the Kostroma plant for the production of woodworking machines.

In 1982, the biography of Sergei Sobyanin received a political direction, and he became the head of the organizational department of the Leninsky District Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League of Chelyabinsk. After 2 years, he was sent to the city of Kogalym, where he first took the position of head of the housing and communal services, and later became the head of the city's tax inspectorate.

Since 1991 career Sergei Semenovich rapidly began to gain momentum - at first he was appointed head of the administration of Kogalym, and after 2 years he became the first deputy head Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug. This post opened the way for Sobyanin to the District Duma of Khanty-Mansiysk, which he headed in 1996.


In 2001, the future mayor of the capital of Russia 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 United Russia party. In 2005, Sergei Sobyanin got into the administration of the President of Russia and was appointed head. Therefore, Sergei Semenovich moved to Moscow and relieved himself of gubernatorial duties.

The political career in the capital also developed rapidly - in 2006 he was a member of the Commission for Military-Technical Cooperation, in 2008 he led the election campaign former president RF, and in 2009 becomes the head of the board of directors of Channel One.


In 2005, Sergei Sobyanin headed the Administration of the President of Russia

After winning the presidential elections Medvedeva Sergey Semenovich receives the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and becomes the head of the government headed by Vladimir Putin, as well as a member of the Commission for Economic Development of the Russian Federation and is a member of the Skolkovo Board of Trustees.

The achievements of Sergei Sobyanin as mayor of Moscow a year later were duly appreciated by his colleagues and the country's leadership. He managed to stop the destruction of historical Moscow, organize the fight against organized crime and illegal trade, achieve the development of public transport, ensure the transparency of the city's budget, and modernize the city's education and healthcare systems.

In 2012, after the adoption by Medvedev of the law on the return of direct elections of heads of regions, Sergei Sobyanin resigned and decided to run for the post of mayor of the city in the status of a self-nominated candidate. The oppositionist became his main competitor in this fight. The man stated that Sergei Semenovich was illegally participating in the upcoming elections, to which the Moscow City Electoral Committee made an official statement that the registration of a candidate for the post of mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, was carried out in full accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.


September 8, 2013 Sergei Semenovich in the first round of voting was re-elected to the post of mayor of Moscow. Sobyanin won more than 51% of the vote, while the main rival Alexei Navalny received support from 27% of the population.

As mayor, Sobyanin takes care of the restoration of architectural monuments.

Under Sobyanin, the procedure for recognizing buildings of historical significance as monuments of culture and architecture was simplified.


However, opposition forces believe that under Sobyanin the practice for which Yury Luzhkov was criticized continued. We are talking about the destruction of historical buildings in favor of the construction of new ones. In particular, according to Rustam Rakhmatullin, coordinator of the Archnadzor movement, with Sobyanin and his team coming to power, the attitude towards monuments changed at the level of declarations. And Rakhmatullin connected the decrease in the level of construction activity in the city center with “many years of public demand” and the outflow of money due to the crisis.

The press dubbed the event "The Night of the Long Dippers". There were doubts about the legitimacy of the actions of the Moscow authorities. To this, Sobyanin remarked that "truth, heritage and history of the country are not sold in Russia."


Former rival Sobyanin Alexei Navalny in early 2017 accused the mayor of overspending on the purchase of decorations for Moscow streets. According to Navalny, the city government purchased jewelry worth 2,241,630 rubles, while the price from the supplier was 475,000. A few days later, Sobyanin proposed removing the city's public procurement data from the federal government procurement portal, which drew criticism from lawyers from the Anti-Corruption Foundation.

In 2017, the renovation of the capital's housing stock continues. Part of the renovation is the Khrushchev demolition program, which has caused concern among the residents of these houses. Sobyanin assured that only those houses, more than half of which would vote for resettlement, would be demolished. In a 2016 interview, when asked about the constant construction and the sounds of repairs that are heard even in the city hall, Sobyanin replied: “For me, these sounds are pleasant.” According to the mayor, they say that the city is developing, there is movement, there is no stagnation.

Its essence lies in conferring such a title on specialists who will be able to prove that their qualifications, experience and professional level are higher than the basic requirements and meet international standards.

The reason for the divorce of the mayor of Moscow from his wife is unknown - he asked not to interfere in his personal life, noting that they parted on a good note and support friendly relations.


Rumor has it that the reason for the separation of the spouses lies in the relationship of Sergei Semenovich with a comrade-in-arms. She, at a young age in the late 90s, began working with Sobyanin and went with him, as an assistant, from the head of the Khanty-Mansiysk Duma to the mayor of the capital.

She lives in Moscow, studied at a regular school, showed interest in playing music and drawing.

According to official data, Sergei Sobyanin's income for 2017 amounted to 6 million 531 thousand 129 rubles. This is 75 thousand rubles. more than in 2016.

In 2013, a scandal erupted around this apartment and his youngest daughter. All the same Alexey Navalny published an investigation in which he said that these elite apartments, located in the center of Moscow, belonged at that time to his minor daughter Olga. The approximate cost of such a property is 173 million rubles. Judging by the declarations provided by the politician, this price exceeds Sobyanin's possible income for 10 years by more than 6 times.


Sergei Sobyanin is a great lover of literature and classical music, but his main hobby is hunting. As the mayor of Moscow himself admits, he first went to the beast in the taiga as a 15-year-old boy, and since then he has been so imbued with it that hunting has become one of his favorite types of recreation. Going hunting, Sobyanin prefers to personally drive a jeep or snowmobile.

The man tries to keep healthy lifestyle life. He doesn’t smoke, he prefers wine to vodka, if not hunting, but now he doesn’t have free time for basketball and volleyball, which he once loved.
