Elena Misulina, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Biography, political activity

The phrase "woman in politics" has long ceased to cause bewilderment. In the modern world, the destinies of people are concerned not only with great men, but also with emancipated ladies. They believe that the fate of women not only in the birth of children and domestic chores, and on an equal basis with men actively participate in the political life of their homeland.

Position in the life of society

Elena Mizulina is a vivid representative of the women's political elite of Russia. About her speak quite a lot and very diverse. Her position provokes both approval and irony, and clear condemnation. However, this woman is trying hard to legitimize the universal values, which turn upside down in the light of the latest world tendencies. Misulina Elena Borisovna is a member of the party "United Russia". She is the chairman of the committee on family, women and children of the State Duma. In the power of women politicians - to consider problems and introduce bills on the theme of the family. Her recent author and co-authored bills and initiatives have caused considerable public response. Among them, we can name active struggle against the mate in the network, gay propaganda, divorce of families and adoption of Russian orphans by foreign parents.

She dreamed of becoming a politician since childhood

Misulina Elena Borisovna was born on December 9, 1954. The birthplace of the famous politician is the city of Bui of the Kostroma region. Interest in politics in the girl has developed quite early. Father Elena Mizulina, Boris Mikhailovich Dmitriev, after a concussion received at the front, headed the department of the district committee of the CPSU. The political style of his father in many ways left a mark on the professional nature of his daughter. While studying at school, Misulina dreamed about the career of a diplomat and was preparing to enter MGIMO. However, the dreams did not come true, and by the will of fate in 1972 she became a student of the Yaroslavl State University. It was in this educational institution that Elena Borisovna met with future husband Mikhail Mizulin. In the fourth year of study, a pair of young lawyers were combined with a legal marriage.

The beginning of political career

Career Misulina developed quite swiftly. After graduating from the university in 1977, she began to work as a laboratory assistant at the department of theory and law in the university's home walls. In the same year, Elena Borisovna received the position of a consultant to the regional court in the city of Yaroslavl, continuing her correspondence course at the Kazan State University as a graduate student. After a while, in 1983, she defended her thesis. As a result, Elena Mizulina became a candidate of jurisprudence, received a promotion and was appointed as a senior consultant.

Having worked in the Yaroslavl Regional Court for 8 years, she transferred to the service as an assistant to the State Pedagogical Institute named after K.D. Ushinsky in the same city. Already in 1987, Mizulina began to lead the department of national history. She held this position until 1990, being a member of the CPSU.

Defense of the thesis and career growth

In 1992, Elena Mizulina defended her doctoral dissertation on the basis of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The theme of her work - "The Criminal Process: The Concept of State Self-Restraint" - aroused great interest among colleagues. In 1995, Mizulina became a professor at the State University of Yaroslavl.
The political career of Elena Borisovna developed quite rapidly. In 1993, it entered the 1st composition of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation from the block "Choice of Russia". She was on the Committee, which examined constitutional legislation, as well as judicial and legal issues, as deputy chairman. Mizulina also joined the Commission on Rules and Procedures of Parliament.

Changes in the political career

In 1995, Mizulina joined the Yabloko faction and the Reforms movement - a new course. In the same year she was elected the head of the regional public organization "Ravnovesie" in Yaroslavl.

Since December 1995, Elena Misulina is a deputy of the State Duma of the II convocation from the Yabloko faction, representing the interests of the Kirovsky district. In connection with these circumstances, she had to refuse membership in the Federation Council. As part of the State Duma of the II convocation, she began to chair the Committee on Legislation and Reforms in the judicial and legal sphere. She also was a subcommittee dealing with issues of state building, as well as the constitutional rights of citizens as deputy chairman. In 1999, Misulina was involved in organizing impeachment against Yeltsin as a legal advisor.

In December 1999, she again becomes a deputy of the State Duma of the III convocation from the Yabloko party. July 2000 was for Mysulina a new stage in his political career. She became the head of the Yaroslavl Union of Democratic Forces. This coalition included members of the Yabloko party and the Union of Right Forces.

Leaving Yabloko

In the beginning of 2001, Elena Misulina made an official statement that she was leaving the Yabloko. The deputy motivated his actions with personal discomfort about the fact that the party in which she is a member does not gain more than five percent of the votes in the elections. Former colleagues in Yabloko appreciated her act as a race for political trends.

A new round in the political career

In June 2001, Elena Borisovna joined the "Union of Right Forces". In February 2004, her party was defeated in the elections, and Mizulina received a new appointment - a representative of the State Duma in the Constitutional Court. In this position she insisted in 2005 on abolishing the procedure for direct gubernatorial elections that existed in the Russian Federation. Her position in the Constitutional Court Elena Borisovna combined with the post of Acting Deputy Head of Administration of the State Duma. The eventful year 2005 was also marked for Mysulina by the successful graduation of the Russian Academy of Civil Service, established under the President of the Russian Federation.

Membership in "Fair Russia"

Two years later, in 2007, the deputy of the State Duma Elena Mizulina was elected a member of the political organization "Fair Russia". January 2008 was designated for Elena Borisovna by a new post - in the State Duma Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs as chairman. Her candidacy was put forward as an alternative to Svetlana Goryacheva. The party "United Russia" expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed candidacy. Then Elena Borisovna and was approved for this position.

In 2011, Elena Mizulina was once again elected to the State Duma, being part of the party "Fair Russia". She became the head of the State Duma Committee in the sphere of the family.

In October 2013, at the next meeting of "Fair Russia", Mizulina said that she refused membership in the Central Council of the party. The well-known political scientist Alexander Kynev noted that Elena Borisovna undermines the image of the party in the eyes of city voters by her actions.

Her famous bills

One of the most famous projects, in the development of which Elena Mizulina was directly involved, was Federal Law No. 139-F3. He was received on July 28, 2012. He received in public circles the trivial name of the "law on blacklists" and the "law on censorship on the Internet." Elena Borisovna also has a direct relationship to another project, which is often confused with the above. This project is "On protecting children from information that is harmful to their health and development."
Elena Mizulina, a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, publicly stated in July 2012 that it is necessary to check whether the strike of the Russian "Wikipedia" is against the positions of the draft law No. 139-F3 "pedophile lobby". This phrase becomes a persistent expression and is the calling card of a woman politician. Some public figures and journalists assert that this label Elena Borisovna awards all persons who are personally objectionable to her.

In November 2012, I made a public conclusion: the 139-F3 project reached its preventive goal. With the help of it, a secure information space is organized . Also, Elena Mizulina banned at the state level the viewing of sites with links to Internet pages from the registry of banned. One of the portals that counteracted the position of the "black list" was rublacklist.net. The pirate party of Russia was the founders of this site.

A year later, Elena Mizulina proposed to make a part of the preamble to the Constitution of the Russian Federation the phrase that for Russia, Orthodoxy is the basis of cultural and national identity. However, this proposal was rejected. The refusal is motivated by the fact that the Russian Federation has been constitutionally proclaimed a secular state.

Relation to the issue of abortion

Elena Mizulina spoke with a demand to limit free abortions. She suggests to allow a woman to make free artificial termination of pregnancy only for serious medical reasons or as a result of rape. In other circumstances, abortion must be paid. The bill also proposed the following items:

• Prohibition of abortion in private clinics.
• The sale of medications that provoke abortion, only by prescription.
• Mandatory consent of the spouse for abortion if the woman is married.
• The indispensable permission of the parents to interrupt the pregnancy of a girl under the age of majority.

Another interesting bill on the topic of abortion was offered by Elena Mizulina. The State Duma considered an amendment to the CoA on the fine imposed on the medical institution, which does not give the woman time to think before performing appropriate medical manipulations. The amount of this monetary compensation was proposed in the form of 1 million rubles. Mizulina pointed out that it is worthwhile to charge a fine from the women themselves, who ignore the doctor's offer to revise their decision on abortion. The size of the fine for them is 3000-5000 rubles.

Bills on family and marriage

Elena Borisovna speaks rather sharply about the issue of the adoption of American orphans from Russia by American parents. She noted that our state has never defended its interests at the expense of children.

Later, Elena Misulina proposed to prohibit such American guardianship at the level of law. In June 2013, the politician presented a project called "The Concept of State Family Policy until 2025". It contains the following provisions:

• The introduction of an additional tax for divorcing families.
• Condemnation of the birth of illegitimate children.
• Additional restrictions on abortion.
• A sharp condemnation of homosexuality.
• The proposal to strengthen the role of the church in the discussion and adoption of laws on the family.
• Increase the number of families where many generations of people live.
• Propaganda of many children.
• Fixed amount of alimony, regardless of the source of income of the parent.

This bill was intended to strengthen the institution of the family in the Russian Federation.

Her opinion about LGBT

Mizulina is known in political and social circles as an ardent opponent of same-sex marriage and has the opinion that the phrase "Gays are also people" contains a hidden extremist sense. She advocates the removal of children from same-sex families.

However, in 2013 the famous publicist Alfred Koch wrote in his article that the son of Elena Misulina, who lives in Belgium, works in a fairly large law firm Mayer Brown. This firm actively defends the rights of LGBT people. It was ironically noted a sharp difference in views on the issue of homosexuality in mother and son. In response to this sarcasm, Mizulina announced Koch as the representative of the notorious "pedophile lobby."

Does society need surrogate motherhood?

In November 2013, Mizulina said that it is necessary to prohibit surrogate motherhood at the state level, considering this an unnatural phenomenon. To all Elena Borisovna added that it is necessary to form in every possible way a negative attitude towards such a way of the child's appearance.

Quite often Misoulin is criticized. Evil tongues are sarcastic about her active initiatives, and political scientists are accused of overreacting the privacy of citizens and influencing the freedom of choice of people. Perhaps, in the bills of Elena Borisovna there is a certain inflection, but to blame indifference to the life of her people this woman is impossible.
