OKTYABRSKY, April 28, RIA FederalPress. Mikhail Babich visited the Republic of Bashkortostan on a working trip, reports the press service of the Volga Federal District embassy.
Former general director of Roscosmos and Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Igor Komarov has been appointed to the post of plenipotentiary representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Volga Federal District.
Appointed Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Volga Federal District Igor Komarov. Vladimir Putin signed the Decree on the appointment, according to the website of the head of state.
Previously held this position Mikhail Babich On August 24, 2018, by Decree of the President of Russia, he was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Belarus, as well as the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the development of trade and economic cooperation with Belarus.
Candidacy Igor Komarov arose quite unexpectedly; just recently she was not considered for the post of plenipotentiary representative; moreover, his name never even appeared on the list of prospective candidates. There is information that for this position Igor Komarov actively promoted by the head of the Presidential Administration Anton Vaino and his first deputy Sergey Kiriyenko.
According to the political scientist Konstantin Kalachev, the new plenipotentiary will primarily protect the interests "technological development corporation" in the broad sense of the word. This is the case when, without exaggeration, one can say about the appointment of a technocrat.
Another expert - political scientist-regionalist Rostislav Turovsky I am sure that the alignments in the Volga region are closely related to the alignments of the federal elites, and any appointment here will be interpreted as the strengthening or weakening of individual groups. After all “Volga Federal District is the second source of personnel after the North-Western District”, the expert told RBC.
The problem of relations with national republics and the language issue are considered especially acute here. In a number of national republics there is an acute language problem, on which it will be important for the plenipotentiary to find a compromise with the local elites.
Turovsky also added that the effectiveness of the new plenipotentiary representative in the Volga Federal District will depend on further intra-elite situations in the district and a possible change of elites in Tatarstan and Bashkiria. Another problem is the growing number of corruption scandals in the Volga Federal District, and Bashkiria is no exception.
“The bottom line is that the plenipotentiary representative will have to rely not on one group of influence, but maneuver among the interests of a variety of financial and industrial groups; debugging relations with them is an important task for the plenipotentiary.”
The authors of the Nezygar telegram channel almost agree with this point of view, who reported that Igor Komarov(Prokhorov’s close friend in every sense; Chemezov’s clientele; Vaino’s nominee). And the security forces have collected a large dossier on Komarov.
“The list of accusations is long: from fraud and corruption to the sale of technology and secrets. Mosquitoes are absolutely untouchable; it was planned to appoint him to the Samara and Voronezh regions - the appointments fell through"
As today's appointment of Komarov showed, the presence of a dossier on a candidate is an important, but not decisive, factor. As Deputy Minister for Science, Komarov oversaw all financial flows of the Ministry of Science, all government contracts and procedures. Komarov's appointment strengthens the position of Chemezov's group. After all, the Volga Federal District is a region where defense enterprises are present. His appointment will allow him to build contacts with Tatarstan and Bashkiria, and should weaken Sechin’s influence, especially in Bashkiria. This means we are waiting for news about the positions of the head of the region Rustem Khamitov in light of a new turn of power in management in the Volga Federal District.
Reference:
Until 2000, Igor Komarov worked in senior positions in the banking sector, after which he worked at Norilsk Nickel, Rostec and AvtoVAZ. In 2013-2014, Komarov worked as deputy head of the Federal Space Agency. Until 2015 – General Director of the United Rocket and Space Corporation. In the same year, he took over the post of General Director of Roscosmos. In July of this year he was appointed Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education.
Mikhail Babich is a prominent Russian politician, whose activities in almost every position were accompanied by high-profile scandals. However, this did not at all prevent the rapid career growth of the energetic official, whose firm grip and penetrating power are recognized even by his ill-wishers.
Childhood and youth
The future politician was born on May 28, 1969 in Ryazan. His father was a paratrooper officer, and little Misha dreamed of following in his parent’s footsteps, but after school he was not accepted into the Ryazan Airborne School for health reasons. The young man applied to the communications school and successfully graduated, after which he nevertheless joined the ranks of the Airborne Forces.
Mikhail Babich
According to the official version of the biography, Mikhail Viktorovich Babich took part in the fighting in Chechnya. He served in the army until 1994 and retired with the rank of colonel. Later, already a statesman, Babich received a legal education in Moscow and studied at the State Academy of Management.
Business
Returning to civilian life, the former colonel went into business. After 4 years, he already managed three companies, among which was the famous Rosmyasomoltorg, which supplied food to the Russian army. The name of this company is associated with a scandal that led to the initiation of a criminal case.
The company's management was accused of embezzling 2 billion rubles, proceeds from a program for the sale of humanitarian aid from the United States. Mikhail Babich, who received the nickname “Butcher” from the media during the proceedings, denied guilt and claimed that the case was fabricated by competitors. As a result, the head of one of the intermediary firms, Dmitry Ilyasov, was found guilty.
Political career
At the end of the 90s, Mikhail Viktorovich joined the ranks of government officials, receiving the position of deputy unitary enterprise for regulating food markets in Moscow. He worked there until 2000, after which he became part of Boris Gromov’s election headquarters, where he resolved financial issues.
When Gromov won the elections, Babich became deputy chairman of the Moscow region government. Six months later, he was accused of gross violation of labor standards and fired. Babich had to be reinstated in his position through the court, but having proven he was right, he immediately wrote a letter of resignation.
After his dismissal, Mikhail Viktorovich moved to the Ivanovo region, where he received the post of vice-governor in the local administration. The head of the region, Vladimir Tikhonov, reacted favorably to the new Moscow specialist, noting Babich’s excellent economic thinking and his ability to attract money, but there were also those who did not like this appointment: they accused the vice-governor of pursuing personal interests and being overly harsh in his treatment of opponents.
The two-year stay in the new position was also not without scandals. The first of them flared up when Mikhail Babich supported the purchase of shares in a local distillery by a large alcohol company, and the second when it became clear how much money was being spent on maintaining the residence of the Ivanovo region in Moscow (the amount of 5 million rubles was huge for the local budget).
If in the first case the prosecutor's office did not find anything illegal in the actions of the official, then the second case almost ended in arrest. The governor stood up for his subordinate and filed a complaint, after which Babich was excluded from the list of suspects.
In November 2002, Mikhail Viktorovich moved to Chechnya and headed the new government there. The appointment of a Russian official to this post was explained by the need to soften contradictions within the republic. He stayed in this position for just over a year and wrote a letter of resignation. According to the Izvestia portal, the reason was a conflict with. After this, Babich took the post of assistant and was elected to the State Duma under the United Russia quota.
In 2011, Vladimir Putin appointed him as his representative in the Volga Federal District. Vladimir Babich served as plenipotentiary representative for 7 years. It was the solid political weight of the former colonel that ultimately helped resolve internal conflicts in the leadership of the Nizhny Novgorod region, which ended with the resignation of Governor Oleg Sorokin.
Babich contributed to the appointment to this position. In an interview on his official website, he called him “a really tenacious person” and made it clear that he considered this a good personnel decision. Also, during Babich’s leadership, several large-scale anti-corruption campaigns were carried out, after which the former governors of Udmurtia and Mari El were arrested.
Mikhail Babich’s services as the President’s Plenipotentiary Representative were highly appreciated by his colleagues, including the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the head of Bashkortostan and the Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Mikhail Men.
Income
When summing up the results for 2017, among all the presidential envoys, Babich had the most modest income. He was in last place on the list with an amount of 6.5 million rubles, which is 93 thousand more than last year’s results. The Babichs and their children own two apartments – 177 and 55 square meters. According to the declaration, family members do not have a single car.
Personal life
Mikhail Viktorovich is married. His wife Galina worked at Probusinessbank. They are the parents of two children. The eldest son Alexander is an entrepreneur, the youngest son Artem is a schoolboy, studying at one of the elite educational institutions in Moscow.
Babich does not advertise information about his family, and it is almost impossible to find accurate information about his personal life.
Mikhail Babich now
In mid-2018, rumors about Babich’s resignation began to circulate in the political environment. He was assigned a place in the Presidential Administration, the post of assistant for Ukrainian affairs and other notable positions. In August 2018, Mikhail Babich was appointed Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Belarus. The official Instagram account of the Belarusian Embassy in Russia published a photo of Babich with the Ambassador of the Republic to the Russian Federation Igor Petrishenko and congratulated him on his new position.
This is Mikhail Viktorovich’s first diplomatic appointment in his entire political career. It was originally planned that he would become ambassador to Kyiv, but Ukraine did not accept him. Now Mikhail Viktorovich refuses to comment on his appointment, clarifying that he has yet to understand the situation.
