Stankevich Sergey Borisovich: biography, nationality

Recently, Sergei Stankevich has often flashed on Russian television. Many people are interested in the biography, nationality and general personality of this person. Who is he? How did you get to the epicenter of social life? Why for a long time nothing was heard about him, and now the name is heard by everyone? The answers are in this article.

Stankevich is a scientist

Sergei Stankevich was born on February 25, 1954 in the Moscow region of Shchyolkovo. Nationality was, of course, Soviet, and then Russian. But about his nationality, they say that Statkevich's parents are Jews of Polish origin.

Even in his childhood, the boy showed an interest in science and after school entered the Moscow Pedagogical Institute, bearing the name of the leader of the world proletariat. As a future specialty, I chose teaching history.

Successfully graduating from the Faculty of History in 1977, Stankevich started teaching. He gave lectures to students of the Gubkin Institute of Oil and Gas, then took up the post of senior research fellow at the Institute of General History at the Academy of Sciences, and there he defended his thesis. The theme of this work was the modern history of the United States of America.

Stankevich Sergey Borisovich is the author of more than thirty different articles. In addition, his pen belongs to a book on the topic of the dissertation. And he also co-authored the work "Informal. Social Initiatives ", published in the ninetieth year.

For a significant contribution to the formation and development of social and political thought in the USSR Stankevich received an award from the American Center for International Leadership. This also happened in the 90th.

The beginning of political activity

As for political activity, Sergei Stankevich started it in 1987, joining the ranks of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He remained a member of the CPSU until the 90th. In parallel, from 88th to 89th, he collaborated with the Popular Front of Moscow and even was the leader of this movement. And in 1989 Stankevich was elected to the Supreme Soviet, where he represented the interests of the residents of the Cheryomushkinsky district of the capital as a deputy. The term of these powers expired in 1992.

Sergei Borisovich's political activity at that time was marked by increased activity, since he, in addition to being a member of the Supreme Soviet, was also a deputy of the Moscow City Council from 90th to 92nd. Here he held the post of first deputy chairman. They say that he could have been the chairman (the majority voted for him), but for some reason he had to give up this chair to Mr. Popov.

The Epoch of Yeltsin

The name of the hero of this article is well known to those who remember the Yeltsin era. After Stankevich, Sergei was a close associate of Boris Nikolayevich and held high posts under Yeltsin.

With the future President of Russia Stankevich met in 1988 and was subdued by the "leader of the new format", as he called Boris Nikolaevich. The historian who studied the democratic society was struck by the fact that the representative of the party nomenclature literally creates an image of a leader close to the people literally before our eyes: not deprived of a sense of humor, simple, slightly rude.

During the August 1991 coup , Sergei Borisovich Stankevich, naturally, was on Yeltsin's side and provided him with all kinds of support. When it was over, and Boris Nikolayevich took over the post of President of the Russian Federation, his loyal assistant first received the post of state adviser in charge of contact with public associations, then became a state adviser on political matters, and from 1992 to 1993 he held the post of presidential adviser helping him to control The political sphere of the country and the sphere of interethnic relations.

In 1993, Stankevich again elected a deputy, only now in the State Duma, where he ran from the Party of Unity and Concord.

Loud Stories

During his political career Stankevich Sergei repeatedly became a figurant of high-profile stories.

For example, he acted as the organizer of the dismantling of the monument to Dzerzhinsky on the Lubyanka. He also evicted the apparatus of the Central Committee of the CPSU from his "nest", directed the Russian-German exchange of Brezhnev's memorial plaque to a piece of the Berlin Wall, and so on.

In the 92-m Stankevich helped to conduct the festival "Red Square", which was presented to the opera. With his assistance (and some even talk about pressure), the State Bank of Russia issued a loan to organize this event. And when it failed and a lot of ugly details surfaced (from corruption to large-scale embezzlement of state funds), the organizers got to the dock.

Emigration

In 1995, Sergei Stankevich, whose biography had practically had no sharp turns before, was faced with great difficulties. He was accused of corruption, and Yeltsin fell into disgrace. The former president's favorite was waiting for an imminent arrest (the sanction was already issued by the prosecutor's office in 1996), but by that time he was already abroad with his family. First they lived in the USA, then returned to Europe.

As a temporary homeland, Sergei Stankevich, whose nationality is connected with Poland, chose this country.

Russia declared an ex-deputy to the International wanted list, and the Poles arrested him. But they refused to extradite Russians. Moreover, prominent public figures of Poland spoke in defense of Stankevich, and he received the status of political emigrant.

After returning

In the late autumn of 1999, all charges against Stankevich were dropped, which gave the politician the opportunity to return home.

True, he did not start breeding more political activity as he used to, but started business. Under his chairmanship worked such giants as "Euroservice", "Baltimore" and "Agroinvestproekt".

In 2000, Sergei Borisovich headed the party "Democratic Russia". A year later he joined the political council of the Union of Right Forces. In 2011, he became a member of the Council of the political movement Ryzhkov "Choice of Russia."

Today Stankevich often participates in various TV programs, acting as an expert of political situation in the country and abroad and positioning himself as a representative of the democratic forces of Russia. His face in recent years has become even more recognizable than in the days of Stankevich's adviser to the President.
