Studies

Returning, he entered graduate school, where he studied for about three years. After that, the young man remained to work at the university. At first, Konstantin was an ordinary assistant, and then an assistant professor. A few years later (in 1996) Remchukov will become the head of the Department of Macroeconomic Planning and Regulation. From 1986 to 1987, Konstantin trained in the USA (University of Pennsylvania). In 2000, the hero of this article received a professorship at the UDN and worked there for six whole years.
Business
Remchukov Konstantin Vadimovich became interested in this area even during his teaching career. In 1996, he joined the management team of the SE Bank investment fund. From 1997 to 1999, he was senior vice president of the Novocom analytical center. According to several publications, this company was engaged in professional party building, political technologies and image-making.
Also, since 1997, Remchukov became a consultant and adviser to Oleg Deripaska, who heads the Siberian Aluminum group of companies. Konstantin Vadimovich quickly made a career. He soon became senior vice president and then chairman of the board. In 2000, he headed the Supreme Scientific and Advisory Council of the IPG "Sibal" (later renamed "Basic Element"). In 2003, the hero of this article left this post.
Policy
In October 1999, Remchukov Konstantin Vadimovich joined the political council of the Union of Right Forces. A month later he was elected to the State Duma from the Union of Right Forces. Remchukov also became deputy chairman of the committee on environmental management and natural resources. After the end of the deputy term, Konstantin Vadimovich moved to the Ministry of Economic Development and became Gref's assistant. Despite this, he criticized German Oskarovich's policy of Russia's accession to the WTO.
In November 2001, Remchukov was elected chairman of the Public Council for Russia's accession to the WTO. The hero of this article believed that it should not be done hastily, without considering all the possible risks. In addition, the Russian Federation must also significantly increase the competitiveness of its own industry and be ready to export high value-added products. In 2004, Konstantin Vadimovich published a book on this topic “Russia and the WTO. Fiction and truth." In it, he conducted a systematic analysis of economic, legal and political issues arising in connection with the entry of the Russian Federation into this organization.
"Independent newspaper"
Remchukov acquired this edition from Boris Berezovsky in the summer of 2005. Since civil servants cannot carry out entrepreneurial activities, Konstantin Vadimovich made a purchase for his wife. He promised the media that Nezavisimaya Gazeta (NG) would become the same cost-effective and high-quality publication as the Washington Post. He actively engaged in its development after he ceased to be a deputy.
In February 2007, Konstantin Vadimovich Remchukov, whose books (“Russia and the WTO”, “Economic Policy of the “Visible Hand”, “Thinking of Russia”) can be found in any relevant store, became the general director and editor-in-chief of Nezavisimaya Gazeta. . The former politician considered the combination of the two areas to be quite organic and the only possible option, especially at the stage of product transformation.
New position
Since the beginning of 2007, Konstantin Vadimovich has been periodically mentioned in the press as a member of the board of directors of the Russian Venture Company (RVC). This structure was created at the suggestion of the government of the Russian Federation to stimulate the country's venture investment by purchasing shares of various funds. Remchukov also appeared as one of the leaders of RVC in a number of media reports related to an interview with Oleg Shvartsman (co-owner of Finansgroup). The latter spoke about the idea of "velvet privatization" in Russia. This scandalous interview led to a break in relations between Shvartsman (in partnership with Tamir Fishman) and RVC. As a result, Finansgroup lost 980 million rubles.

An excerpt characterizing Remchukov, Konstantin Vadimovich
Having received the news of Natasha's illness, the countess, still not quite healthy and weak, came to Moscow with Petya and the whole house, and the entire Rostov family moved from Marya Dmitrievna to their house and completely settled in Moscow.
Natasha's illness was so serious that, to her happiness and to the happiness of her relatives, the thought of everything that had caused her illness, her act and the break with her fiancé passed into the background. She was so ill that it was impossible to think how much she was to blame for everything that happened, while she did not eat, did not sleep, noticeably lost weight, coughed and was, as the doctors made her feel, in danger. All he had to think about was helping her. Doctors went to Natasha both individually and in consultations, spoke a lot in French, German and Latin, condemned one another, prescribed the most diverse medicines for all diseases known to them; but not one of them came up with the simple thought that they could not be aware of the illness that Natasha suffered, just as no illness that a living person is obsessed with could be known: for every living person has his own characteristics and always has special and its own new, complex, unknown disease to medicine, not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, etc., recorded in medicine, but a disease consisting of one of the innumerable compounds in the suffering of these organs. This simple thought could not come to doctors (just as the thought cannot come to a sorcerer that he cannot conjure) because their life's work was to heal, because they received money for that, and because they spent the best years of their lives on this business. But the main thing is that this thought could not come to the doctors because they saw that they were undoubtedly useful, and were really useful for all the Rostovs at home. They were useful not because they forced the patient to swallow mostly harmful substances (this harm was not very sensitive, because harmful substances were given in small quantities), but they were useful, necessary, inevitable (the reason is why there always are and will be imaginary healers, soothsayers, homeopaths and allopaths) because they satisfied the moral needs of the sick and people who love the sick. They satisfied that eternal human need of hope for relief, the need for sympathy and activity that a person experiences during suffering. They satisfied that eternal, human need, which is noticeable in a child in the most primitive form, to rub the place that is bruised. The child will kill himself and immediately run into the hands of the mother, the nanny in order to be kissed and rubbed on the sore spot, and it becomes easier for him when the sore spot is rubbed or kissed. The child does not believe that the strongest and wisest of him do not have the means to help his pain. And the hope for relief and the expression of sympathy while the mother rubs his bump consoles him. Doctors were useful for Natasha in that they kissed and rubbed the bobo, assuring that it would pass now if the driver went to the Arbat pharmacy and took seven hryvnias of powders and pills in a pretty box for a ruble, and if these powders were sure to be in two hours, nothing more and no less, the patient will take in boiled water.
What would Sonya, the count and the countess do, how would they look at the weak, melting Natasha, doing nothing, if there weren’t these pills by the hour, drinking warm, chicken cutlets and all the details of life prescribed by the doctor, observing which was a lesson and comfort for others? The stricter and more complex these rules were, the more comforting it was for those around. How would the count endure the illness of his beloved daughter, if he did not know that Natasha's illness cost him thousands of rubles and that he would not spare thousands more to do her good: if he did not know that if she did not recover, he would not he will spare thousands more and take her abroad and hold consultations there; if he had not been able to tell the details about how Metivier and Feller did not understand, but Freeze understood, and Wise defined the disease even better? What would the countess do if she could not sometimes quarrel with the sick Natasha because she did not fully comply with the doctor's prescriptions?
“You will never recover,” she said, forgetting her grief in annoyance, “if you do not obey the doctor and take your medicine at the wrong time!” After all, you can’t joke about this when you can get pneumonia, ”the countess said, and in the pronunciation of this one word, incomprehensible to more than her, she already found great consolation. What would Sonya do if she didn’t have the joyful consciousness that she didn’t undress for three nights at first in order to be ready to fulfill exactly all the doctor’s instructions, and that she now doesn’t sleep at night so as not to miss the clock in which it is necessary to give harmless pills from a golden box? Even Natasha herself, who, although she said that no medicines would cure her and that all this was nonsense - and she was glad to see that so many donations were made for her that she had to take medicines at certain hours, and even she was happy was that she, neglecting the fulfillment of the prescribed, could show that she did not believe in treatment and did not value her life.
The doctor went every day, felt the pulse, looked at the tongue and, not paying attention to her dead face, joked with her. But on the other hand, when he went out into another room, the countess hurriedly followed him, and he, assuming a serious look and shaking his head thoughtfully, said that, although there was danger, he hoped for the effect of this last medicine, and that we had to wait and see. ; that the disease is more moral, but ...
Owner, editor-in-chief and CEO of Nezavisimaya Gazeta
Owner, CEO and editor-in-chief of Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Previously - head of the Public Council on Russia's accession to the WTO, deputy of the State Duma of the third convocation (2000-2003), assistant to the president of the Sayan Aluminum financial and industrial group Oleg Deripaska (2002-2003).
Konstantin Vadimovich Remchukov was born on November 21, 1954 in the city of Morozovsk, Rostov Region. In 1978, he graduated with honors in Moscow from the Faculty of Economics and Law of the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University. From 1978 to 1980 he served in the Navy,.
In 1983, Remchukov graduated from the graduate school of the UDN, after which he worked at the same university - first as an assistant, then as an assistant professor, and in 1996 he headed the department of macroeconomic regulation and planning. From 1986 to 1987, he trained at the University of Pennsylvania (USA), and in 2000 he became a professor at the PFU (he held this position until 2006).
Working in the field of higher education, Remchukov began to engage in business and political activities. In 1996 he joined the investment committee of the Swedish investment fund SE Bank. From 1997 to 1999, he served as senior vice president of the information and analytical center "NOVOCOM" (president of the IAC - Alexei Koshmarov, vice president - Andrey Bogdanov). According to a number of publications, Novokom was engaged in image-making, political technologies and professional party building,.
According to some reports, Novokom was directly involved in the development of the concept and strategy for the development of public relations of the Siberian Aluminum group of Oleg Deripaska. It was with him and his business that Remchukov connected his future career. In 1997-1999, he was a consultant, advisor, senior vice president, chairman of the Supreme Scientific and Advisory Council of the Siberian Aluminum Group, in 2000-2001 he served as chairman of the Supreme Scientific and Advisory Council of the IPG "Sibal", and then, after renaming "Sibal" to IK "Basic Element", in 2002-2003 he was the chairman of the Supreme Scientific and Advisory Council of "Basel",,,,,.
From October 1999 to March 2000, Remchukov was a member of the political council of the Union of Right Forces. On December 19, 1999, he was elected to the State Duma of the third convocation from the Union of Right Forces. In the State Duma, he served as deputy chairman of the committee on natural resources and environmental management,.
In November 2001, Deputy Remchukov was elected chairman of the Public Council established shortly before that on the issues of Russia's accession to the WTO. Remchukov spoke out against the hasty entry of Russia into this organization. In his opinion, before taking such a step, Russia should significantly increase the competitiveness of its industry and be ready to "show in the structure of exports products with a high level of added value," .
At the end of his deputy term, in 2004, Remchukov moved to the Ministry of Economic Development to the post of assistant to the head of department German Gref, despite the fact that when he was a deputy, he criticized Gref's policy on Russia's entry into the WTO. In the same year, Remchukov published the book "Russia and the WTO. Truth and Fiction", which is a systematic analysis of the entire range of political, legal and economic issues that arise in connection with Russia's accession to the WTO.
At the end of the summer of 2005, Remchukov acquired from businessman Boris Berezovsky a 100 percent stake in the closed joint-stock company Nezavisimaya Gazeta, which publishes the newspaper of the same name (NG). Since civil servants are not allowed to engage in entrepreneurial activities, Remchukov issued the purchase to Elena Remchukova, his wife. He pledged to turn the paper into a cost-effective, quality publication along the lines of The Washington Post. In an interview, Remchukov himself said about the purchase of Nezavisimaya, that “I bought it simply because I had to do something after I stopped being a deputy and left the business. And we decided at the family council that I was interested this..." .
In February 2007, Remchukov took over as editor-in-chief and general director of NG. It was reported that these appointments were the result of a decision of the board of directors (that is, Remchukov appointed himself to these posts). Remchukov himself considered the combination of the posts of editor-in-chief and general director to be organic and even "the only possible one, at least at the stage of product transformation", , , .
Remchukov was also mentioned in the media as a philanthropist: in 2001 he was elected chairman of the executive committee of the Board of Trustees of the Bolshoi Theater,,,,. In 2009, the theater website noted that Remchukov was included in the Board of Trustees, of which Deripaska is a member, as an individual.
Remchukov has three children. His son, Maxim Remchukov, served as press secretary of the president of Siberian Aluminum Group LLC, chairman of the Supervisory Board of the company, press secretary of the general director of Russian Aluminum OJSC. In 2005, Maxim Remchukov headed the Kuban football club, co-owned by at that time it was also called Deripaska (later he donated his share of the club's shares to the regional administration)... In 2008, Remchukov Jr. was already mentioned in the media as a former general director of Kuban and a top manager of Bazel,.

The fashion for buying newspapers, magazines and TV channels in Russia has swept the oligarchs. Thus, the president of the Ukrainian Media International Group (MIG), Vadim Rabinovich, confirmed the purchase of 100% of the shares of the Russian company Moskovskiye Novosti with its brands Moskovskiye Novosti and The Moscow News. The PROSport magazine has already been sold to the Vokrug Sveta publishing house, behind which, according to some reports, is the famous Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Rumor has it that he also wants to buy the Sport-Express newspaper, but information about negotiations on this topic with the leadership of this sports publication has not yet been confirmed.
RAO "UES" announced the sale of its stake in Ren-TV television company to the metallurgical concern "Severstal", controlled by Alexei Mordashev, one of the richest people on the Forbes list.
Another media asset put up for sale is the media asset of the disgraced oligarch Boris Berezovsky, Nezavisimaya Gazeta. And one of the most likely buyers is the assistant to the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Konstantin Remchukov.
Dni.Ru was interested in how an assistant to one of the ministers of the Russian government ended up in the company of well-known oligarchs who buy up newspapers and TV channels. A more detailed acquaintance with Mr. Remchukov revealed that this official also has very "oligarchic inclinations."
The contender for Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Konstantin Remchukov, became known in Moscow political and business circles after the billboard war he carried out in the fall of 1999 "Ban tolling - stop robbing Russia", as a result of which internal tolling was banned, and Lev Chernoy was forced to go out of business and sell their aluminum assets to Boris Berezovsky and Roman Abramovich. At that time he worked for Oleg Deripaska in the Siberian Aluminum company, and in December 1999 he became a State Duma deputy from the Union of Right Forces.
Remchukov's parliamentary period was marked by a fierce struggle against "Russia's accelerated entry into the WTO." On the Internet, you can find dozens of interviews and articles by Remchukov on this topic. It was widely believed that it was Remchukov who stood for burning an effigy of German Gref in front of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, pursuing the goal of exacerbating the discussion in the government about the goals of Russia's accession to the WTO.
Remchukov also appeared in the fight against the Zhivilo brothers as part of a 3 billion lawsuit in New York. It was he who oversaw the defense of Deripaska and his structures. Remchukov's Duma colleagues noted that Remchukov spent months in New York while the trial was going on.
Also during this period, he was a member of the Board of Directors of TVS, an oligarchic television project to seize TV-6 from the Berezovsky channel. Remchukov, who represented Deripaska on the Board of Directors, is remembered for his confrontation with Chubais and his group of shareholders.
In June 2003, an unexpected announcement of the resignation of Mr. Remchukov from all positions in Basic Element followed. "In connection with the termination of the functions of the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Basic Element company from June 17, 2003, all my statements on issues of domestic, foreign, foreign trade, economic and regional policy, as well as on the development of certain sectors of the economy and assessment the activities of the leaders of individual regions and specific ministries are the author's personal point of view, not consistent with the position of the shareholders and management of the Basic Element company.
Behind this text, many experts considered the conflict between the top manager and the owner of Bazel due to disagreements over the conduct of a corporate war with Ilim Pulp, and, according to Vedomosti, the worsened relations with Abramovich's structures in the automotive business.
As a result, Remchukov did not get into the Duma, and numerous Deripaska's employees from various lists ended up in the Duma.
After leaving business and politics, Remchukov appears mainly in the programs of Savik Shuster and comments on events in the Vedomosti newspaper and Expert magazine. It is also celebrated in all the intellectual projects of our TV - "School of Scandal", "Apocrypha", "Summer Residents".
Given the tough conflict between Deripaska and Remchukov and Gref on the WTO, the appointment of Remchukov as assistant to the Minister of Economic Development and Trade last summer is still not clear. It is known that the position of assistant allows you to maintain informal relations with the leader, have direct "access to the body" and most often indicates friendly relations, which is usually difficult to count on after burning an effigy of an opponent.
Journalists invited to the 50th anniversary of Mr. Remchukov in one of the Moscow clubs spoke about the oligarchic scope of the celebration, and that for several hours more than 100 guests danced to the live music of Butusov ("Jupiter"), Vasilyev ("Splin"), Lagutenko ("Mumiy Troll") and "Umy Thurman".
The wife and children of Remchukov constantly appear in the reviews of the gossip columns of Kommersant.
Konstantin Remchukov in the last elections to the State Duma took first place among applicants for Duma mandates in the nomination of car owners. According to the declaration submitted to the Central Election Commission, the vehicle fleet of the SPS deputy Remchukov consisted of such cars as Bentley Continental T, Mercedes G 55 AMG, Mercedes S 500, Lexus SC 430, Toyota Land Cruiser 100. In second place was the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a candidate from the United Russia", Alexander Khloponin. Already in the spring of this year, the Finance magazine in the Bentlimania article wrote: “However, experts believe that there are only two truly exclusive cars in Russia so far. One is in the cabin - this is the last unsold copy of the Azure series, its cost is over 500 thousand euros The second belongs to Konstantin Remchukov - the only model of Continental-T Le Mans in the territory of not only Russia, but throughout Central and Eastern Europe."
They say that Remchukov loves his cars so much that he does not trust drivers to drive them, believing that they do not deserve such a right, and he himself is driving.
During the mentioned election campaign, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, instructing the party activists, demanded to be more offensive against the right, and pointed to "the diamonds and jewelry of Remchukov's wife, looking at him and look, so as not to go blind from the brilliance of stones." Ms. Remchukova really "pleases" the audience at the premieres of the Bolshoi Theater with her mind-blowing diamonds, where she goes as the wife of one of the theater's trustees.
In a lengthy interview with Dorogoy magazine, Konstantin Remchukov spoke about his collection of antiques, paintings and icons, one of which he bought at an auction worth half a million dollars.
With the purchase of Nezavisimaya, will he start collecting newspapers?
