Where does Gleb Nikitin's wife work? "I've been having a hard time lately"
Name: Nikitin Gleb Sergeevich Date of birth: August 24, 1977 Place of birth: Leningrad, USSR Position: Acting Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region
Leningrader with roots in the village
Gleb Nikitin was born in Leningrad. Like many Leningraders, the history of the Nikitin family is closely intertwined with tragic history cities on the Neva. During the years of the blockade, my great-grandfather worked at a factory and tried to give all his rations to his family. The grandfather survived, his brother and grandmother did not. Grandfather told young Gleb about what he had experienced. The family still had a reverent attitude towards bread - it was strictly forbidden not to eat it up and shake off the crumbs from the table.
Interestingly, Gleb Sergeevich himself felt himself not only from Leningrad. Once he told his interlocutors at one of the events that his family tree "is firmly rooted to the village land." As a child, he, like many others, was sent to the village to "grandparents" (grandfather, who survived the blockade, eventually left Leningrad?).
This time the politician, by his own admission, recalls with nostalgia. But he was attracted to professions by no means of a rural scale. As a child, Gleb Nikitin dreamed of becoming an oceanographer or geologist. But as a teenager, he began to think about becoming a statesman.
Nikitin realized his dream, which was not trivial for a child of the era of perestroika, already in the new Russia.
Study, study and study again
The current interim governor has several diplomas of higher education; apparently, he knows how and loves to study. The future politician began with finance - after graduating from school he entered the St. Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance, having mastered the specialty "Finance and Credit".
In 2004, legal education was added to economic education - Gleb Sergeevich received the relevant knowledge at St. Petersburg State University.
In 2008, Nikitin graduated Russian academy public service, and at the same time he managed to defend his dissertation for the title of candidate of economic sciences at the Financial Academy under the Government of Russia.
But even this was not enough for Gleb Sergeevich. In February 2012, he graduated with honors from the MBA (Master of Business Administration) program. This is an international training program for middle and senior managers for effective work in business, state and municipal administration.
In 2016, Nikitin was certified by the Russian Project Management Association SOVNET. A certification system helps determine compliance professional knowledge, experience and skills of candidates to the established requirements for specialists in the field of project management and is based on international requirements for the competence of project management specialists. The program includes four levels. Nikitin was awarded the title of certified project director, this is level A.
From "Rosneftegaz" refused
Gleb Nikitin received his first job immediately after graduating from the University of Economics and Finance, in 1999. In the St. Petersburg city property management committee, he held various positions for five years. Among other things, he oversaw privatization issues and analyzed the activities of enterprises.
And in 2004, the Petersburger became a Muscovite. Gleb Sergeevich went to work at the Federal Property Management Agency as the head of the property department of organizations in the commercial sector, and then as deputy head of the agency. He was in charge of the largest and most ambitious projects, including privatization state property and acquisitions and mergers of companies.
Nikitin participated in the public offering in 2006 of Rosneft shares and the privatization of VTB shares, which took place in 2011. Responsible for the formation of the United shipbuilding corporation and the United Aircraft Corporation. He was a member of the directors of the largest domestic companies - RAO UES, Aeroflot, Uralvagonzavod, the same Rosneft. Everywhere he represented the interests of the state.
And back in 2012, Kommersant wrote about Gleb Nikitin as a confidant of the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin. They agreed, according to rumors, while Nikitin worked on the board of directors of the company. Sechin even allegedly offered Nikitin to work in the Rosneftegaz system, which owns a controlling stake in Rosneft. But he refused.
Ideologist of the project approach
In 2012, Nikitin was predicted to be the head of the Federal Property Management Agency. He served as interim for eight months. Among his duties was supervising the interaction of the agency with the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In the end, he left there - as a deputy minister, and a year later he became the first deputy federal minister of industry and trade.
After leaving the department, colleagues called him one of the largest Russian experts on corporate governance, representing the interests of the state in joint-stock companies ah and formation talent pool and also in industrial policy. It was he who initiated the creation of the Industrial Development Fund and SPIC - a special investment contract for individual industries. With his participation, the laws "On industrial policy in Russian Federation"and" On standardization in the Russian Federation ".
Finally, it was Gleb Nikitin who became the leader and ideologist of the introduction of the now trendy design approach. Under him, a department was created in the Ministry of Industry and Trade strategic development and project management, as well as automated systems to support the management process - INCOR and AIS PU.
In 2017, the heads of 20 regions lost their posts. In 13 of them, the “old men” were replaced by people whose age did not exceed 50 years. Political scientists immediately dubbed the new leaders young technocrats. But Nikitin stands out even against the general background.
Akela didn't miss
The new appointment of 40-year-old Gleb Nikitin did not come as a surprise. The fact that the young "technocrat in the cube" will replace the aging Akela of Luzhkov's team in the Nizhny Novgorod region - Valery Shantsev - was reported by the media even before the official announcement of his resignation. And they were not mistaken in determining the main contender for the post.
Surrounded by the mastodon of Russian politics, they hoped that Shantsev, who turned 70, would be allowed to “bring” the region to the World Cup and then they would be celebrated with honors. However, he did not reach retirement, becoming one of the stars in the "governor's fall" in the fall of 2017.
Political scientists cited conflicts in the regional elites and age as the reasons for his resignation. The latter, however, was categorically rejected by Shantsev's "sworn friend", the ex-head of Nizhny Novgorod, Oleg Sorokin (now a criminal case has been initiated against him, he is under arrest). They never got along with the governor and "butted" enthusiastically, but then even he was indignant - they say that in the region the appointment aroused criticism, and there is nothing to blame on age - in 2014, when Shantsev was elected to new term(he won 86.93 percent of the vote), everyone knew that he was "in great shape and perfectly healthy"!
For some reason in Russian politics such an argument as age and health status is often considered insufficient for avoiding active labor activity(unless, of course, you are not Yeltsin). Here and retired Shantsev instantly began to look for a "double bottom". Meanwhile, two months after the victorious elections in 2014, Shantsev's wife, Tatyana Vladimirovna, died. This fact alone could adversely affect both the form of the former governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region and his health.
Valery Shantsev wrote a letter of resignation own will September 26, 2017. On the same day, the president awarded him the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, II degree, noting his "great contribution to the socio-economic development of the region and many years of conscientious work."
Just the other day, it became known that the ex-governor joined the board of directors of the Moscow Dynamo (in 1991, Shantsev became commercial director club and continued to supervise it when he was vice-mayor of Moscow). Quite a suitable position for a person who would not want to completely leave active work, but can no longer (and probably does not want to) bear a more serious responsibility.
Personal life
After the appointment of the acting governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin deleted all accounts in social networks - he decided that there would not be enough time to maintain them. And in Nizhny Novgorod went alone.
As the journalists found out, the new head of the region has a wife and children, but no one has seen them. No name, no photograph, no profession, the curious grumbled, calling the first lady of the region "Madame Invisible."
At the same time, she aroused a burning interest, if only by the fact that from year to year she earned more than her husband. In 2016, her income amounted to 25.6 million rubles, while Nikitin brought only 8.3 million rubles to the family piggy bank. And she also owns two apartments, and a house, and a car! ..
From managers to housewives?
Some clarity was introduced by Nikitin himself in an interview with TASS. His wife is a specialist in corporate governance and holds senior positions in large companies. More precisely, occupied. Now that my husband has left Moscow, I will have to switch to a freer schedule.
Who exactly Nikitin's wife worked for (her name is Ekaterina) is unknown. Just as it is not known whether she was tired of being the "breadwinner in the family" and whether she herself wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself, take a break from work and take care of the children, the twins Peter and Arina? Or the Nikitin family became an unwitting victim of the popular “Decembrist wife instinct” in Russia, which requires the spouse to follow her husband, even if it’s not about exile to Siberia, but about changing one responsible position to another - so the spouse may have time -then there won’t be much left for communication?
However, this is really a personal matter for the Nikitins.
And the people of Nizhny Novgorod finally saw the new acting family. And everyone - the visit of the Nikitins with their children, as well as with their grandparents to the "City of Masters" was shown on the local TV channel. So that everyone who wants to be satisfied. Grandfather, as journalists approvingly noted, all the time took pictures of his grandchildren on the phone. Idyll.
Colonel Isaev in the civil service
When the acting governor was asked about his favorite heroes, he named Prince Myshkin and Colonel Isaev, known to everyone under the name of Stirlitz. To put it bluntly, Nikitin bears little resemblance to the hero of Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot, if not at all. But Stirlitz, it seems, sometimes imitates in actions.
At the end of December, Nikitin promised to present a new management scheme, and then to start rotating personnel under it, and added that he was going to continue working with members of the old team in one capacity or another. And, having lulled the vigilance of the "old guard", he acted exactly the opposite.
After the new year, representatives of the regional administration were in for a not too pleasant surprise. As the journalists taunted, it seems that for a while new year holidays Nikitin managed to recruit volunteers from the Ministry of Industry and Rostec who would agree to change the capital to Nizhny Novgorod. Immigrants from St. Petersburg predominate, with a few higher education and around the age of 40. A sort of, one might say, Gleb Nikitin on a smaller scale.
What will be the effectiveness of the new government, time will tell. But it is already clear that the new management team will speak the same language. The main thing is that it is understandable to others.
26.09.2017 Gleb Nikitin has been temporarily appointed to the post of regional governorRussian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the early termination of the powers of the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Valery Shantsev. In the same document, his successor is named.

In 2005, he was sent from the post of vice-mayor of the capital to the Nizhny Novgorod region on the proposal of Vladimir Putin.

Among his primary tasks, he named the socio-political "consolidation", the layout of the budget and preparation for the heating season. Nikitin promised not to change his predecessor's team and consult with Shantsev about affairs in the region. “I will, as before, worry about my beloved Nizhny Novgorod region.

In 2012, Nikitin was appointed Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, in 2013 - First Deputy.
Rotation continues
On Monday, the President dismissed the head of the Samara region, Nikolai Merkushkin, and Senator Dmitry Azarov. Earlier RBC sources that Shantsev's resignation will take place as part of the autumn rotation of the heads of regions and that Nikitin will take his place. In total, during this series of resignations, up to ten governors, interlocutors of RBC close to the Kremlin, can leave their posts.
The appointment of Nikitin and Azarov as acting heads of regions is a continuation of the line on the renewal of the governor's corps, which began with the elections on September 10, a source in the Kremlin's domestic political bloc told RBC. The bet is on successful managers with diverse experience who worked both in the regions and at the federal level, says RBC's interlocutor. Communication with the subject for acting. Governors are welcome, but not mandatory, added a source in the Kremlin's domestic political bloc. “The development potential [of the region] is more important, and in this sense, the age of new candidates for the positions of governors matters,” RBC’s interlocutor summed up. Nikitin and Azarov, as well as acting. governors who were elected on September 10 were trained at the RANEPA; the list of possible candidates is being prepared according to transparent criteria, but all personnel decisions are made by the president, a RBC source said.

In addition, the request of a particular region for an update was taken into account.

Reasons for change
Shantsev has been in charge of the region since 2005, and before that he served as vice-mayor of Moscow in the government of Yuri Luzhkov. “Valery Pavlinovich is a heavyweight who has had and has had serious weight since working hours in the Moscow mayor's office," political analyst Sergei Moshchenkov said. According to him, the resignation is not connected with problems in the region, but with the general course of the authorities towards the rejuvenation of managerial personnel. Like RBC sources close to the Kremlin, political scientists cited his age as one of the main reasons for Shantsev's resignation: he turned 70 this June. “You need to be Tuleev (head of the Kemerovo region. — RBC) so that you are allowed to lead the region after 70 years, ”political analyst Vitaly Ivanov told RBC.
According to Ivanov, a combination of factors makes Shantsev vulnerable, in addition to age, this is an intra-elite conflict with a group of ex-mayor of Nizhny Novgorod Oleg Sorokin, as well as complicated relationship with an embassy. In December 2016, the governor was publicly criticized by the presidential envoy to the Volga Federal District Mikhail Babich. He called the region the only region "where the situation with intra-elite conflicts not only does not stop, does not change in better side It gets worse all the time." “There is constant war here! And, of course, we understand what these costs are for the region, for the social well-being of people,” the official said at a meeting with journalists.
Shantsev is a man with a difficult character, but you can negotiate with him, he knows how to work and provides decent results in the elections, Sorokin himself, who left the post of mayor of the city in 2015 after a conflict with the governor, told RBC. According to the former mayor, the resignation caused bewilderment and criticism in the region. “We clashed a lot, shouted, but he listened to my opinion,” Sorokin emphasized. According to him, Shantsev's age and health cannot be considered reasons for resigning, since he was re-elected three years ago and everyone in the region "knew that he was in great shape and completely healthy."
The head of the Minchenko Consulting Foundation, Yevgeny Minchenko, linked Shantsev's resignation with the struggle of elite groups for influence in the region. If Shantsev was considered "a fragment of the empire of the former mayor of Moscow", then Nikitin, in turn, is close to the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, the expert noted. Nizhny Novgorod political scientist Andrey Vovk disagrees with him, according to whom the new governor is connected with CEO Corporation "Rostec" Sergey Chemezov. Indeed, the former deputy minister in the Ministry of Industry and Trade was responsible for interaction with the enterprises of the state corporation, Mikhail Vinogradov, head of the Petersburg Politics Foundation, pointed out. Minister of Trade and Industry Denis Manturov is "extremely loyal" to the head of Rostec, he added.
The Nizhny Novgorod region is in the focus of special attention of the curator of the Kremlin’s internal political bloc, the first deputy head of the presidential administration, Sergei Kiriyenko, who graduated from the Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers, then worked in business before his appointment as first deputy minister of fuel and energy in 1997. From 2000 to 2005, Kiriyenko served as presidential envoy to the Volga Federal District.
