Max Katz: a brief biography and political portrait

Max Katz is a rather unusual politician. On the one hand, many see it as a hope for a better future, marked by his youth and enthusiasm. On the other - a heavy character and an irresistible desire to always be the first to prevent him from working in a team. Given this, it is rather difficult to say exactly what the future of the young politician will be.

Max Katz: biography of the early years

Maxim was born in Moscow on December 23, 1984. His father was a thoroughbred Jew, and his mother was Russian. From an early age, the boy was introduced to the Jewish traditions, since faith played an important role in the life of his father. In the capital, Max Katz lived only up to 8 years. After the termination of the first class the parents of the boy moved to live in Israel.

Being still very young, Maxim quickly got used to the new environment. To some extent, the changes helped him temper the character - they gave him the opportunity to understand that there is nothing permanent in the world. In the end, the boy's whole youth passed in Israel: here he graduated from school, entered college and got plans for the future.

Homecoming

In an interview, Max Katz admitted that he always considered Moscow his home. That is why he was so excited about the opportunity to return to the capital in 2002. In addition, he had special plans for what he could do there. Katz wanted to open his own business in Moscow.

As a basis, he chose vending sales - the distribution of goods through vending machines. In those years it was a relatively new direction, and so Max quickly earned a good capital. However, over the years, sales began to fall, which made him refuse to continue investing in this niche.

Playing poker

Many poker players are well aware of who Max Kats is. Photo of the guy quite often appeared in various magazines devoted to this game. And all because he was one of the first professional players in Russia. And it all started with a simple passion and extraordinary excitement.

According to Katz himself, at first he played only small amounts. Then he first of all hunted for new sensations, and not for money. But time passed, and with it the skills of the game improved. And one day, Max Katz noticed that his hobby brings much more income than his business. And then he decided that it was time to move to the big leagues - to devote himself entirely to the game of poker.

And it was the right decision. Soon he began to win at prestigious tournaments, which made him not only rich, but also popular. The final triumph was the victory at the All-Russian tournament of poker stars in 2007. However, this was his last battle at the card table, after which he moved to a completely different arena.

Max Katz - deputy

In the policy of Max led a desire to change the world. At the same time he was guided not by abstract concepts of good and evil, but by a real vision. Katz wanted to rebuild Russian cities, make them more vivid, animated and unlike each other. For this, he even graduated from the school of urban design from Jan Gale.

For the first election to the municipal assembly Shchukino, he came from the party "Yabloko." After all, in fact, only this political force had the same vision of the world as Katz himself. Then he remembered many voters that he did not use typical clichés. Instead, he issued leaflets, where his everyday photo was posted, where a guy in a checkered shirt and jeans, as well as a fully executable list of promises. As a result, Max Katz took fourth place, which allowed him to go to the municipal assembly.

Subsequently, his main merit were "City Projects". This is a series of actions and innovations that concerned the lives of citizens of the capital. The brightest of them were "Ashtrays on Tverskaya", "Accomplishment of Shchukino", an exhibition "Cities of people" and "Prohibition of parking on the sidewalks of Tverskaya."

Katz and the Opposition

In October 2012, Katz joined the Coordinating Council of the Opposition. This decision was caused by the fact that the young politician did not trust the current government. He was one of those who did not believe in the transparency of past presidential elections. However, after only six months, Max left his post.

In 2013, he joined the Alexei Navalny Foundation. Here he wanted to help Navalny get the chair of the mayor of Moscow. However, a few days before the election, their company disagreed, which led to the exclusion of Katz. According to unofficial data, the blame for everything was a dispute between Max Katz and Leonid Volkov.

In the period from 2014 to 2016, the politician tried to break into the Moscow City Duma, but all his attempts were in vain. In the fall of 2016, he rejoined the Yabloko party. And again, the heavy character played a cruel joke with him. Because of the provocative speeches and reluctance to listen to the party leadership decided to exclude him from his list in December 2016.
