“For the funded system, this is a very bad decision, and raising the question that it might be canceled instills in citizens, in their most active part, apathy and the idea that the government cannot cope with this systemic task. It means that he has little faith, and so on and so forth. Such disbelief is certainly not a factor that improves either the productive or investment climate. For the economy, this is an inevitable evil, because the budget simply cannot be drawn up, apparently, without freezing these almost 400 billion rubles, because this is a transfer from the budget to the pension system. Therefore, this is a forced misfortune, which, I am absolutely sure, not the chairman of the government does not support in his heart, not the ministers of the economic bloc, but the social bloc insists on its own, because it needs this solidarity pension. Thus, we are abandoning the declared task of making the economically active part of the population an agent and conductor of reforms in favor of solidarity assistance to the poor and low-income people, which in an era of crisis is the social role of the state, if you like. That is, the evil imposed on us turns into a suspension of reforms. This is happening in many areas, but most clearly in the pension reform.”

“It looks like a tactically fair one, because the budget of the Pension Fund, dated from the Welfare Fund, is so deficit that there are simply no funds to constantly support it. Let's speak the truth. But this is only a tactically verified decision: for a long time, domestic and foreign economists, experts in the field of pensions have been talking about the need to raise the retirement age. In case of raising the retirement age, there would be no such problems if this reform had been started in a timely manner. But as a result of the fact that once someone promised someone that the retirement age would never be raised, this populist, so to speak, mainly measure, the non-raising of the retirement age, led to such a deficit in the budget of the Pension Fund ... The measures are half-hearted , which, of course, will not save the entire pension system, but will slightly ease the pressure on the budget, have been adopted. Working pensioners look like they won't get 4% indexation, but they still get paid. In this sense, to save those pensioners who do not work and live only on pension, it looks right. I repeat once again: it is tactically fair in the strategic mistakes that were made not today, but already three, four, five years ago. When we talk about the reform of the pension system - funded pension, solidarity pension, pension for working and non-working pensioners - we are talking about a wide range of measures that could and should be considered. But so, when the social bloc of the government and the president himself said “no increase in the retirement age”, but only with an increase in the retirement age the whole system is balanced in the correct economic sense, then there is nothing to talk about. If there is no first step, then after that - to pay a pension to those who work, not to pay, how much to pay, this is secondary, you understand. In this sense, the very idea was blocked, which, in fact, has no other solution in any of the countries of the world. Either we raise the age, or we raise taxes. Here are two options, all over the world."

“You don't have to be a WSJ interlocutor, or even the editor-in-chief of this amazing publication, to understand that what they say is absolutely true. Circumstance one: the budget is not being implemented, there are no revenues either from oil, or from gas, or from producers of mineral resources, which were, and definitely will not be within three years. There are forecasters who say that this will never happen, but I am not like that, so for three years the raw materials that filled the budget of the Russian Federation will definitely not increase in price. Moreover, we are part of the global economy, so any increase in the price of aluminum, oil, gas anywhere in the world is immediately filled by some suppliers, this is the global economy. These value-added chains, supply chains are now set up in such a way that any of our monopolists cannot prevail in the market for a long time, so it is impossible to expect income from here. At the same time, the Russian budget, unlike in the 1990s, in contrast to the beginning of the first half of the 2000s, is 80% of the sources of all investments, if earlier it was 50/50 - the state invested, but private business also invested. Private business, due to a number of circumstances, is now shrinking, does not want to invest, fears that the investment climate is not the same, rather, it is hedging its risks, withdrawing money abroad or withdrawing money here. Banks are full of money. Those who say “come on, hurry up, money” - just look at what is being done in Russian banks. But they are afraid to invest. In this regard, only the budget is obliged to invest. The budget is not supplemented - it must be supplemented. What to supplement it with? Since there is no income from raw materials, and some new industries have not yet emerged, then we need to look at tax policy. Therefore, this is a discussion that is unfolding in front of us in full growth. Socially it would be necessary to take a closer look at the progressive scale. And in terms of fees, administration, and so on, flat, of course, worked for us. Do you remember the dashing 90s, when it was progressive - everyone left them in different ways, did not collect anything, then they introduced a flat one and began to collect. I think that it is socially much fairer, and it would look much better, a progressive scale, especially since now the left political tendencies are also absolutely obvious, and parties that take such positions, no matter how toy our parliament is, they will prevail there , and this cannot but affect the discussion. I think that, after all, a progressive scale or some element of progressiveness will be introduced.”

In October 1990, the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions was dissolved, and the General Confederation of Trade Unions of the USSR (VKP USSR) was created in its place. In November of the same year, Yurgens was elected secretary of this organization. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in April 1992, on the basis of the All-Union Communist Party of the USSR, the international association General Confederation of Trade Unions (VKP) was created, which the media called the "direct successor" of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions. At the same time, Yurgens was elected first deputy chairman of the CPSU. He worked in this position until 1997.

In 1992, Yurgens became a member of the non-governmental Council on Foreign and Defense Policy of Russia, created in the same year (in some biographies it was mentioned that he became a member of the Council in 1991). In 1996 he was elected to the Presidium of the Council.

In October 1994, Yurgens, along with Alexander Obolensky and Vasily Lipitsky, became co-chairman of the interregional organization Social Democratic Union (SDS, also appeared in the press as the Russian Social Democratic Union, RSDS). In the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the second convocation, held in December 1995, Yurgens ran under the 11th number of the federal list of the Trade Unions and Industrialists of Russia - Union of Labor bloc (he was delegated to the bloc by the decision of the SDS congress). At the same time, the organization itself accepted the proposal of the Russian Movement for Democratic Reforms (leader - Gavriil Popov) to create the Social Democrats bloc. The Trade Unions and Industrialists of Russia - Union of Labor bloc received 1.55 percent of the vote in the elections, and Yurgens did not get into parliament. Representatives of the Social Democrats bloc did not enter the parliament either - it received 0.13 percent of the vote. In April 1996, at the SDS congress, the presidium of the organization was reformed, and Yurgens submitted his resignation (while some biographies mention that he left the SDS earlier - in December 1995.

He won fewer votes than his rivals (a total of 12 candidates took part in the district elections, including the chairman of the Moscow organization of the Democratic Party of Russia Andrei Bogdanov and journalist Valeria Novodvorskaya) and did not enter the city's legislative assembly.

In April 1998, Yurgens was elected chairman of the All-Russian Union of Insurers (VSS). It was noted that his candidacy was approved because he had "many connections in the highest political and economic circles" and could lobby the interests of insurers at all levels of government. In 2000, Jurgens was re-elected to this post.

In November 1998, Yurgens, as chairman of the ARIA, took part in the creation of the non-profit partnership "Moscow Club of Creditors" (MCC), which was supposed to monitor the state's credit and financial policy and the redemption of government short-term bonds.

In November 2001, Yurgens, as chairman of the VSS, joined the board of directors of the ROSNO insurance company. At the same time, the press noted that before Yurgens, no one combined activities on the board of directors of an insurance company and the leadership of a public organization that lobbies the interests of all Russian insurers. However, Jurgens promised

leave the post of chairman of the ACC in April 2002, at the next congress of the union, which he did. Alexander Koval, deputy of the State Duma of the third convocation from the Unity faction, became the new president of the VSS. Meanwhile, the media also associated Yurgens' departure with his election as vice president of the RSPP. Yurgens remained on the board of directors of ROSNO for the next three years (he did not join the board elected in 2004).

In 2002 (mentioned in the media and 2000), Yurgens headed the committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (CCI) on financial markets and credit organizations. In this position, he, in particular, held in November 2005 the All-Russian meeting of the heads of insurance associations.

In January 2005, Yurgens, leaving the post of executive secretary of the RSPP, became the first vice-president of the Renaissance Capital investment company. In response to the question why he went into the investment business, and not into the insurance industry he was familiar with, Yurgens noted that the group's activities "are at the junction" of all the "processes in the economy" that interest him. In "Renaissance Capital" he, having become "the fourth member of the team of lobbyists" of the company (along with the managing director of the group Yuri Kobaladze, the head of the supervisory board Alexander Shokhin and the head of the department for working with government and state organizations Oleg Kiselev), was engaged in "banks and investment direction" . At the same time, Yurgens continued on a voluntary basis to act as vice president of the RSPP and oversee the international activities of the union, which since September 2005 has been headed by Shokhin. In November 2006, Yurgens again became a member of the bureau of the board of the RSPP.

In 2008, the Institute of Contemporary Development (INSOR) was established on the basis of the RIO Center. In March of the same year, the elected President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev headed the board of trustees of INSOR, and Yurgens became the chairman of the board. Yurgens later said that the launch of INSOR took place "under the phrase of President Medvedev: do not lick the authorities, write what you think." Subsequently, INSOR was called a "brain trust" or "thought factory" under President Medvedev: the institute made presentations, proposing reforms in the field of pension legislation, healthcare, noted the need for a radical liberalization of Russia's political system, held seminars on economic issues, analyzed the financial crisis, etc. At the same time, according to Yurgens, no INSOR programs, except for "Finding the Future. Strategy 2012. Synopsis", have not been considered anywhere and have not become public. Yurgens was described in the media as a person close to President Medvedev. Quite often, Yurgens, criticizing Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, appeared in the press as an adviser to the head of state. Meanwhile, the media, in particular, the Polit-online resource, drew attention to the fact that Yurgens officially did not have the position or rank of an adviser and was not listed among the "officially appointed advisers and assistants".

In 2008, Yurgens, as a representative of "all-Russian public associations," was included in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. He was a member of the commission for the development of charity and the improvement of legislation on non-profit organizations, the inter-commission working group on international activities of the Civic Chamber, and also became a member of the commission (with an advisory vote) for economic development and entrepreneurship support.

In March 2008, Yurgens became Honorary Consul General of the Principality of Monaco in Russia.

In December of the same year, Yurgens, at the invitation of one of the co-chairs of the Just Cause party created in the same year, Leonid Gozman, became a member of the supreme council of the organization. At the same time, he was not a member of the party, which was called the “Kremlin project” in the press: according to the charter of Right Cause, “citizens of the Russian Federation who are not members of political parties” could also be members of the supreme council. In June 2011, with the arrival of businessman Mikhail Prokhorov to the leadership of the party, the supreme council of the party was liquidated.

In February 2009, Yurgens joined the Council approved by President Medvedev to promote the development of civil society institutions and human rights. Yurgens left this council in June 2012.

In April 2010, Yurgens left Renaissance Capital, becoming a senior adviser for Russia and the CIS at ZAO Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)].

In 2010-2011, Yurgens supported Medvedev's nomination in the 2012 presidential election. After it became known that not Medvedev, but Putin, would run for the presidency, Yurgens expressed the opinion that INSOR would be less in demand.

As of September 2011, Yurgens is a professor at the Department of Theory and Practice of Interaction between Business and Government at the State University Higher School of Economics (GU HSE) (at least in November 2004 he already held this position) and the author or co-author of a number of books, among which were mentioned "Immediate tasks of the Russian government" (2009), "Draft of the future" (2010, co-authored with Janis Urbanovich), "Russia in the 21st century: the image of the desired tomorrow".

According to the writer Dmitry Bykov, Yurgens was introduced in Viktor Pelevin's novel "T" in the form of Professor Urkins, who oversees the entire Russian economy. Yurgens admitted that he did not read the novel, but was one of the few people who saw Pelevin, known for his seclusion, in person. Bykov himself mentioned Yurgens in one of his poems: "Von Yurgens still shows agility: once again he sums up the data, saying that M is a big Maybe, and P is a complete P without any "may"".

Jurgens speaks English and French.

Little is known about Jurgens' hobbies. The head of INSOR said that he loves to work and runs five kilometers every morning.

As a true professional, he perfectly combines and successfully engages in different areas of activity - in different years he taught at the Higher School of Economics, was among the leaders of the national union of employers, the Renaissance Capital investment company, headed one of the committees of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Sigma group ”, Baltic Forum and held many other responsible positions.

Interview with Igor Yurgens about the activities of auto lawyers

The author of numerous articles and the textbook "Risk Management" has received awards, including the Order of Honor, the badge of the All-Union Communist Party of Russia "For Services to the Trade Union Movement", the French Order of Merit, and medals "In Commemoration of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow".

Daria Yurgens (until the early 2000s Lesnikova) was born in Siberia in January 1968. But in the snowy Tomsk, the early years of the life of the future actress passed. But Daria grew up already near the warm Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov: childhood and youth fell on life in Mariupol. The actress loves this southern city even today, considering it her native.

Daria's parents served in the local drama theater, and her daughter often watched the work from behind the scenes. The girl saw the festive atmosphere, armfuls of flowers from fans and all the difficulties of the craft, the "wrong side" of acting. Therefore, the daughter of two theater actors dreamed not of the stage, but of the profession of a veterinarian.

Daria Yurgens was seriously fond of sports, choosing fencing for herself. At the age of 14, the girl almost became a candidate for master of sports, but at one of the competitions she was disqualified due to an incorrect reception made by a rapier.

The girl also did not have a relationship with school disciplines. But, oddly enough, a career in the theater developed successfully. For the first time, the little actress appeared on stage at an unconscious age: wrapped in rags, Dasha, who was a few months old, was carried onto the stage in the play “Virgin Soil Upturned”. For the second time, the girl entered the stage of the theater on her own: at the age of 10, she played Anyuta in the play "The Power of Darkness".

Thus, Daria Yurgens, having received a school certificate, had no choice: the road led only to the stage. The girl went to Leningrad, with which the family had a long history. Mom and grandmother were born in this city, having left their small homeland during the blockade years. Dad studied at a theater university on Mokhovaya, and great-grandfather was a teacher at the Mikhailovsky Artillery Academy. Later, Yurgens admitted that she was always drawn to this city, and the actress felt an invisible connection with the Northern capital.

Daria entered LGITMiK as a free listener, as she missed one and a half points due to an unimportantly written essay. The girl liked to study, but there was nowhere to live. The future artist wandered around friends. It happened that I had to spend the night in the audience.

In 1990, Daria Yurgens received a diploma from a theater university and went on to pursue a theatrical career.

Theater

The creative biography of Daria Yurgens, if you do not take into account the children's appearances on stage at the Mariupol Drama Theater, began at the St. Petersburg Youth Theater. The talent in the young actress was able to consider the main director of the troupe Semyon Spivak. Almost immediately, the director began to trust Jurgens with prominent roles.

The first performances in which the theater-goers saw the artist were Medea, Screams from Odessa, The Death of Van Halen and Lunar Wolves. Later, Daria Yurgens even got a role in Shakespeare's "".

The artist almost never "cheated" on the youth theater. When Daria received offers from other St. Petersburg theaters, the actress refused every time. But one day she agreed to play Olivia in Twelfth Night: the girl really liked the classic images. The play premiered at the Bolshoi Drama Theater and was a success.

The only thing that did not suit the artist in her work was a tiny salary, for which she could hardly make ends meet.

Movies

Daria Yurgens understood that wide popularity most often comes to those actors who appear on the screen. Once the girl decided to try her luck in cinema and went to the casting for director Alexei Balabanov. And luck smiled at the girl. Yurgens first starred in a cameo role in Balabanov's film "About freaks and people." The director liked the game of this young actress, because soon the director offered Daria a new job in the project. Yes, even in what. This, of course, is about the legendary film "Brother 2", in which Jurgens starred in a number of scenes with.

After the release of this cult project on Russian screens, all the participants in the film woke up famous. Including Daria Yurgens, who got the role of a Russian prostitute named "Marilyn". Filming took place in America.

"Brother 2" turned out to be a real springboard for the actress into the world of Russian cinema. Daria was noticed and began to be invited to various series, and for diverse roles.

In addition to participating in Balabanov's films, the actress starred in the first season of "", then appeared in the serial film "House of Hope". In addition to drama and tragicomedy, detectives began to appear in the actress's filmography - "Mole-2", "NLS Agency", "Golden Bullet Agency" and "Landscape with Murder".

Personal life

The first husband of Daria Yurgens was a famous actor. But at the moment when the young people got married (and this was the 4th year of the theater university), they were two unknown students. The couple lived together for 3 years. In this marriage, the son Yegor managed to be born.

The reason for the separation was the betrayal of her husband. Eugene had an affair with a colleague named Angelica, with whom the actor served in the Buff Theater. At first, he hid the relationship on the side, but one day he confessed. According to Daria, this betrayal is "the most terrible", the girl at that time experienced severe stress. The couple tried to save the marriage, but to no avail.

Before the divorce, when the family was already in trouble, Daria had a short romance with a rock singer. She was the first to take a step towards parting with her husband. After some time, Jurgens found out about the pregnancy. Yuri insisted that her beloved leave the theater, devoting herself to the family, but Daria decided to have an abortion, which she still regrets.

The personal life of Daria Yurgens has undergone changes after some time. She reciprocated the feelings of the actor Peter Zhuravlev. The man left the stage for the sake of his family and went into trade. But the feelings cooled down, and Dasha did not want to live because of affection, by inertia.

The actress met her fate on the set of "Sea Devils". This series brought Daria a long-term job in the cinema and love. Sergey Velikanov was involved in the series as a stunt coordinator and personal trainer for Jurgens. Now the couple is constantly together - both at home and on the set.
