On September 9, 2018, the Moscow region, like the other 79 regions of the Russian Federation, joined the elections and decided the fate of the governor’s seat. Among the 6 nominated candidates, Andrei Vorobyov, who has been in this position since 2012, was a confident leader and, as a result, won with 65.52% of the votes. However, the expectations of the current leader of the Moscow region were justified: he himself bet on convincing success of just over 50%. According to some experts, this happened thanks to “direct conversation with people.”

Childhood and youth

Andrei Vorobyov was born on April 14, 1970 in Siberian Krasnoyarsk. Russian by nationality. As a child, nothing foreshadowed a brilliant career as a politician. The boy was seriously interested in “a real man’s sport” and even received the title of Master of Masters. The coaches of the local Sokol and the capital's Dynamo drew attention to the promising players.

But it was not destined to become second:

“Perhaps I lacked some acquaintances, connections or my own determination. As a result, our trio broke up, and our dreams of big hockey had to be buried.”

Due to constant training and traveling around cities, I had neither the strength, nor the time, nor the desire as such to delve into my studies. Therefore, the student’s performance was listed as “average.” Among his subjects, he liked literature and the Russian language, but the guy did not have a special thirst for knowledge. She didn’t even show up at the university - after her first year the army followed.

From an early age, parents were an unquestioned authority and example for their two sons.

“Parents’ responsibility is to help at key junctions. Plus – family life, relationships between elders. No words will save if the children see that the father does not respect the mother, does not care about her, and she does not serve as a support to the head of the house,” says Andrei Yuryevich, who followed in the footsteps of the head of the family.

In general, such cohesion led to unity in business, where the Vorobievs were called nothing less than a clan that had amassed an entire empire. Yuri Leonidovich worked his way up from a lifeguard to deputy third party in the state, his mother Lyudmila Ivanovna owns Grand Land, his younger brother Maxim manages Russian Aquaculture (formerly Russian Sea), his grandmother, uncle and two cousins ​​were also involved in large businesses .

Andrey Vorobyov in the army

The recruit was sent to a special division in Baku, then to Yerevan, where unrest broke out every now and then, which had to be suppressed, then to Central Asia. I didn’t have any romantic illusions in connection with what I saw, and I didn’t want to continue in military service. However, I learned the main thing - to back up what was said with actions. After demobilization, he returned to college, drove a “six” or his grandfather’s VAZ-2111.

A gambling debt pushed the young man to open his first business. Then my grandmother helped pay it off, giving an old valuable thing as collateral to the gypsy baron. I wanted to move to Moscow, where my relatives lived at that time, but it didn’t work out. Therefore, I completed my senior year at Vladikavkaz State University, then entered the Academy of Foreign Trade.

Career and politics

In 1997, Andrei and Maxim went into the fishing business and built their own factory. Due to the crisis, the enterprise was launched only after 2 years. Later, his younger brother completely managed it, for which he was included in the prestigious Forbes list. And the eldest went into the service of his father’s friend and colleague - this is how his political biography began.

After working as a personal assistant to the current Minister of Defense, he became the head of the United Russia support fund, assisting the affected settlements.

In 2002, he was appointed senator from the Republic of Adygea, then he was a State Duma deputy in the same region for 9 years, worked on the Committee on Education and Science, and was deputy head of United Russia. At the same time, he received a Ph.D. degree, but the dissertation caused mixed reviews and even accusations of plagiarism. Later he defended his master's degree at the Higher School of Economics. Managed the Central Election Commission "United Russia", was responsible for the construction of sports facilities and kindergartens.

Later he took the post of governor of the Moscow region, whose first bill on the abolition of direct elections was passed within 24 hours. Vorobyov is also responsible for: an action to restore trees damaged by the invasion of bark beetles; the law on the sterilization and release of stray dogs; expanding the powers of senior officials; decree on objects of cultural heritage.

The politician’s activities were often criticized. For example, the construction of houses in Zhukovsky Square, which provoked a rally of 2 thousand people, a forest amnesty and the burning of garbage dumps. Greenpeace and the residents of Volokolamsk themselves spoke out against the latter, pelting the official with snowballs and unpleasant shouts during a visit to the hospital to see poisoned children.

Personal life

Little is known about the first official wife, Margarita, except for the sad fact that she died suddenly.

Although Vorobiev is not married to his second wife, he lives in a happy civil marriage, raising six heirs. Each of them has two girls from previous relationships; she has already given him sons Georgiy and Mikhail. Now a “pleasant, communicative, beautiful” woman runs a charitable foundation that helps children in difficult life situations.

At the beginning of autumn 2017, news broke about the marriage of one of the politician’s eldest daughters. The Four Seasons Hotel overlooking the Kremlin accommodated about 200 guests, who were strictly prohibited from taking photos and videos from the scene, much less publishing them on the Internet.

Many Russian pop artists were responsible for the musical atmosphere and festive mood, and the wedding cake alone in the shape of swan wings and 2 m in height was estimated at 880 thousand rubles. Ekaterina’s chosen one was MGIMO graduate Mark Tipkin, whose father is on the board of directors of Russobank.

Andrey Vorobyov in the program “Imprint with Mikhail Zelensky”

In July 2018, Andrei Yuryevich visited the program “Imprint with Mikhail Zelensky”, where in an interview he openly spoke about a large family. For example, that he delivers instructions in a neat playful form, that he devotes the weekend to walking and shopping together, and that the most valuable thing is friendship and trust. From traditions: dumplings for the New Year and pancakes for Forgiveness Sunday, in the summer - shish kebab and barbecue.

Andrey Vorobiev now

In his election program, the second-term governor said he would make his region “strong, clean and healthy.” Here we mean “a strong economy, a clean environment and decent wages.”

Actively maintains pages in

Most residents of the Moscow region pinned their hopes on improving life and a real fight against corruption and crime with Governor Shoigu. After the appointment of the prominent United Russia member Andrei Vorobyov, acting. signs of obvious disappointment can be seen in the governor's online forums.
Although the real reason for such a reaction is obviously only in different charismas, since the new Minister of Defense also has the most direct relation to United Russia: one might say parent . And if you carefully follow the life path of Mr. Vorobyov, it turns out that he is a loyal soldier of Shoigu’s team and once even called him his godfather in politics.

Novaya Gazeta found out some details of Vorobyov’s appointment, and also tried to predict where he would begin his activities.

Let's remember the historical moment of the appointment of Andrei Vorobyov, shown on central television channels.

Putin: I would like to offer you, and you probably guessed it yourself, the position of acting governor of the Moscow region.

Vorobiev (tensely): Thank you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, for your high trust. I agree, I am ready (cut). Understanding that the region is large and difficult, but I am ready...

Apparently, these video frames were once again intended to create in the average person the image of a decisive leader of the nation, rearranging officials in the interests of the people. Although experts know: such key appointments do not happen on live television. According to our source in the government apparatus of the Moscow region, a week before the first searches at Oboronservis, Vladimir Putin allegedly summoned Sergei Shoigu and informed him of the upcoming transfer to the Ministry of Defense . At the same time, the president invited Shoigu to find a replacement and submit a list of candidates.

In turn, according to the same source, having returned from Putin’s residence, Shoigu urgently assembled a council of like-minded people, which was attended by: Andrei Vorobyov, his father - Senator Yuri Vorobyov, chief of staff Yuri Sadovenko (immediately after Shoigu’s appointment as minister he moved to the Ministry of Defense , where he now also heads the ministerial apparatus), vice-governor of the Moscow region Ruslan Tsalikov . A little later, Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko arrived (until the appointment of a new governor of the Moscow Region, she postponed all trips, including an official visit to Turkmenistan. As is known, a number of officials settled in the Moscow region, headed by Shoigu, moved with Matvienko from St. Petersburg).

After an exchange of views, it was decided to propose to the president the candidacy of Ruslan Tsalikov and, as a backup option, Andrei Vorobyov. However, at the very last moment, Putin, as always suddenly , chose option No. 2.

Family and business

The Vorobyov family never hid that they owe their influence to close friendship with Sergei Shoigu. In 1988, Shoigu and Yuri Vorobyov, being inspectors of the Krasnoyarsk regional committee of the CPSU, were sitting in neighboring offices. Then both founded the Rescue Corps, and until 2007, Vorobiev Sr. served as first deputy head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and simultaneously headed several interdepartmental commissions. In 2008, having reached retirement age, he found himself in the Federation Council and became a senator from the Vologda region.

As for business, the Vorobyov family, starting with the import of pollock from Norway, created a serious business empire, and their partners were people from Putin’s inner circle, the son of Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko - Sergey and famous billionaires.

In addition to catching, processing and selling fish, the Vorobievs have interests in construction, the food industry and banking. The mother of United Russia member Vorobyov, Lyudmila Vorobyova, is a co-founder of the Grand Land group of companies (construction and intermediary services; in 2000, Irina Shoigu, the wife of the Minister of Defense, worked for the company) and LLC "Barvikha - 4"(the company was founded by Irina Shoigu, then Sergei Matvienko appeared among the co-founders).

Brother - Maxim Vorobyov - one of the founders of the Russian Sea group of companies (30% owned by Volga Resources of Gennady Timchenko, a close friend of Putin). Today the group includes: Russian Sea CJSC, Russian Fish Company CJSC (supplies fresh frozen fish to the Federal Penitentiary Service in the Krasnoyarsk Territory), Russian Sea LLC - Delivery, Russian Sea Management Company LLC, Russian Sea LLC - Karelia", LLC "Russian Sea - Production" (according to media reports, it is going to buy out fishing assets from the former governor of Primorye Sergei Darkin ).
In 2011, Maxim joined the board of directors of Stroytransgaz Gennady Timchenko. In addition, he is a co-owner of Bank St. Petersburg, "SPb Renovations" and "Glavstroy SPb" .

My uncle, Sergei Vorobyov, started working as a simple security guard. Now he is a major confectioner, the owner of patents and the founder of several companies: Milk Alliance LLC (another co-founder is Dairy Finance Ltd., registered in the Seychelles; now the owner is Essoila LLC, registered in Tver), Sweet Planet LLC, LLC "Initiative 21st century", LLC "Eastkfinance", LLC Trading House "Ruzanna", LLC "Ruzskaya Confectionery Factory", CJSC "Academtehstroy", LLC "Instroytekhkom-Center" (participates in the Nord Stream project), JSC "Dynamic" and the law firm “US Privatum” (the site offers ready-made companies in offshore zones with bank accounts).

Nephew - Artem Vorobyov - founder of Respal LLC, Ingestoydesign LLC, PVK and Co LLC, Center-Invest LLC, Mirestel LLC, Enterprise LLC and Maskart LLC. In addition, Artem holds the position of general director at Razdory City LLC, and his partners are billionaires Gavriil Yushvaev, David Yakobashvili and the above-mentioned Sergei Matvienko.

Vorobyov’s two more nephews, Dmitry and French citizen Maxime Opetit (took his wife’s surname), the owner of the Rima and Co cafe in the Varshavsky shopping center and the Nota Bene restaurant chain, as well as 83-year-old grandmother Nina, make a feasible contribution to the family piggy bank. Fedorovna (listed in several companies).

As for the Moscow region, the Vorobievs have long been firmly established here: they own a fish processing plant in Noginsk, sell flour and bread in the Dmitrovsky district (Dmitrovchanka LLC), and their business partner Dmitry Golubkov headed Mosoblgaz [Ruspres: and, as reported in a number of media outlets, organized a system of extortions there, allegedly in favor of the regional leadership].

First statements

When he was governor of the Moscow Region, Sergei Shoigu managed to significantly reduce the financial debt of the Moscow region and dismiss the most odious heads of administration. For example, the mayor of Khimki Vladimir Strelchenko (Strela), whose inner circle was involved in high-profile criminal offenses .

Despite all the accompanying disadvantages, early elections were held in five cities near Moscow, and Shoigu abandoned the idea of ​​“wetting” opposition candidates in the spirit of NTV. Although the governor’s KGB circle constantly supplied him with dubious “operational” information. For example, one of them stated that Evgenia Chirikova’s election campaign was allegedly paid for by a well-known authoritative businessman from Podolsk in the 90s Sergey Lalakin (Luchok) . At the same time, it is well known that Khimki is not in the interests of Lalakin, and the criminal supervisor in the area is Samvel Agadzhanyan (in 2000, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia put him on the wanted list).

You can also add to Shoigu’s asset his tough defense of the region’s interests in New Moscow and an increase in compensation for the loss of territories, which caused extreme irritation among the capital’s authorities.
What immediate plans his successor has is still unknown. The day after Putin’s telerendezvous, Mr. Vorobyov, accompanied by the head of the Russian Presidential Administration Sergei Ivanov, arrived at the government building of the Moscow Region and made two mutually exclusive statements: a) Sergei Shoigu’s course will be continued; b) there will be no personnel leapfrog.

And how should we understand this? After all, most heads of administrations sat down in their chairs when the future acting. Governor Vorobyov was still learning to wind footcloths in the division named after. Dzerzhinsky.

In one interview he called Shoigu his godfather in politics. In another, he said that he sold the shares of Russian Sea to his brother Maxim.

Wife - Margarita, two children (in 2011, according to the published declaration, the 17-year-old daughter received an income of more than 15 million rubles). The Vorobievs own a residential building (500 sq. m.), an apartment (65.60 sq. m.), a parking space and three plots of land (3000, 803, 197 sq. m.).
