First appointment of Anatoly Chubais to the Russian government

Since November 15, 1991 - Chairman State Committee Russian Federation for State Property Management - Minister of the RSFSR.
June 1, 1992 Anatoly Chubais was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation for economic and financial policy. By the time of his appointment, Chubais had acquired a reputation as one of the toughest market liberals.

Under the direction of Chubais a privatization program was developed and its technical preparation was carried out. In addition to the law “On the privatization of state and municipal enterprises in the RSFSR” of 1991 with the participation of acting. O. Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Chubais in 1992 issued a decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin “On accelerating the privatization of state and municipal enterprises,” which led to the creation of a state privatization program and gave rise to reform.

July 31, 1992 Chubais Order No. 141 created the “Department of Technical Assistance and Expertise,” which employed American economist-advisers. The head of the department, Jonathan Hay, according to the former chairman of the State Property Committee Vladimir Polevanov, was a CIA employee. In 2004, a trial began against Jonathan Hay and Andrei Shleifer in the United States on charges of fraud and financial abuse of wasting American taxpayers' money. Polevanov noted regarding the activities of Chubais’s advisers: “Having picked up the documents, I was horrified to discover that a number of the largest military-industrial complex enterprises had been bought up by foreigners for next to nothing. That is, factories and design bureaus that produced top-secret products are out of our control. The same Jonathan Hay with the help Chubais bought a 30% stake in the Moscow Electrode Plant and the Graphite Research Institute, which operated in cooperation with it, the country’s only developer of graphite coatings for stealth aircraft. After which Hay blocked the order of the military space forces for the production of high technologies.”

Later, in November 2004, in an interview with The Financial Times Anatoly Chubais said that privatization in Russia was carried out solely for the purpose of the struggle for power against the “communist leaders”: “We needed to get rid of them, but we did not have time for this. The count was not in months, but in days.” Chubais also believes correct implementation loans-for-shares auctions, when, as the newspaper writes, “the most valuable and largest Russian assets were transferred to a group of tycoons in exchange for loans and support for the then seriously ill Yeltsin in the 1996 elections.” According to Anatoly Chubais, the transfer of control over enterprises with hundreds of thousands of workers to the oligarchs helped them acquire administrative resources, which prevented the victory of the opposition Communist Party in the 1996 presidential elections: “If we had not carried out mortgage privatization, the Communists would have won the elections in 1996.”

Anatoly Chubais voucher

The promise is widely known Chubais in 1992, that subsequently one voucher would be equal in value to two cars. Later in society this promise began to be perceived as a deception. In his book in 1999, he wrote that for the initiators of privatization at that moment, propaganda support was important: “it was necessary not only to come up with effective schemes, write good ones regulations, but also to convince the Duma of the need to adopt these documents, and most importantly, to convince 150 million people to get up from their seats, leave their apartment, receive a voucher, and then invest it meaningfully! Of course, the propaganda component was fantastically important.”

In Russia, about 130 thousand enterprises were privatized in 1991-1997; thanks to the voucher system and loans-for-shares auctions, a significant part of large state assets ended up in the hands of a narrow group of individuals (“oligarchs”). By purchasing vouchers for next to nothing from the impoverished in the context of reforms and crisis (liberalization of prices and non-payment wages), lost savings and ill-informed population, redistribution through financial pyramids, the implementation of corruption schemes for loans-for-shares auctions, large state property was concentrated with the “oligarchs”. Chubais later called the founder of oligarchic capitalism in Russia.
The privatization program outlined 7 main goals: the formation of a layer of private owners; increasing the efficiency of enterprises; social protection of the population and development of social infrastructure using funds from privatization; promoting stabilization financial situation countries; promoting demonopolization and creating a competitive environment; attracting foreign investment; creating conditions for expanding the scale of privatization. When he was the head of the State Property Committee, V. Polevanov, having analyzed the results of privatization in a document addressed to the Prime Minister, concluded that of the seven privatization goals, only the seventh and formally the first were fully realized, while the rest were failed. Although formally there were several tens of millions of shareholders in Russia, only a small part of them actually controlled property; the desire for demonopolization at any cost led to the destruction of many technological chains and contributed to the deepening of the economic recession; foreign investment not only did not increase, but also decreased, and those that did arrive were directed mainly to the primary industries.

On December 9, 1994, the State Duma adopted a resolution in which it described the results of privatization as unsatisfactory.
In general, the Russian population has a negative attitude towards the results of privatization. As data from several opinion polls, about 80% of Russians consider it illegitimate and are in favor of a complete or partial revision of its results. About 90% of Russians are of the opinion that privatization was carried out dishonestly and large fortunes were acquired dishonestly (72% of entrepreneurs also agree with this point of view). As the researchers note, in Russian society There was a stable, “almost consensus” rejection of privatization and the large private property formed on its basis.

In June 1993 Anatoly Chubais took part in the creation of the election bloc “Choice of Russia”. In December 1993, he was elected to the State Duma from the electoral association “Choice of Russia”.
From November 5, 1994 - January 16, 1996 - First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation for economic and financial policy. In 1995-1997 - member of the Foreign Policy Council under the President of the Russian Federation. From April 1995 to February 1996 - manager from Russia in international financial organizations.

In January 1996 Anatoly Chubais sent by B. N. Yeltsin to resign from the post of Deputy Prime Minister after the defeat of the pro-government party “Our Home is Russia” in the elections to the State Duma of the 2nd convocation. Yeltsin said: “The fact that the party gained 10% of the votes is Chubais! If it weren’t for Chubais, it would be 20%!” In the program “Dolls” (written by Viktor Shenderovich), these words of Yeltsin were conveyed as “Chubais is to blame for everything!”; this formulation has become a very popular expression. The Presidential Decree of January 16, 1996 noted Chubais’s low demands on subordinate federal departments, as well as the failure to fulfill a number of instructions from the President of the Russian Federation.

Participation of Anatoly Chubais in Yeltsin's 1996 election campaign

Soon after resigning from the post of Deputy Prime Minister, Chubais headed Yeltsin's election headquarters.
In February 1996 Anatoly Chubais created the “Civil Society Foundation”, on the basis of which the analytical group of the election headquarters of B. N. Yeltsin began its work. In June 1996, he created the Center for the Protection of Private Property Foundation.
In the 1996 presidential campaign, he was involved in the “copier box case,” when, on the night of June 19-20, 1996, members of Boris Yeltsin’s election headquarters, headed Chubais, Arkady Evstafiev and Sergei Lisovsky were detained while trying to take a box with 538 thousand dollars in cash from the White House. However, after interrogation they were released, and the initiators of their detention - head of the presidential security service Alexander Korzhakov, FSB director Mikhail Barsukov and First Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets - were dismissed. The case was closed, and the owner of the box was not identified.
Yeltsin’s daughter Tatyana Dyachenko, who was part of the election headquarters, recalled in December 2009 that Anatoly Chubais played an important role in Yeltsin’s second presidential term: “When at the beginning of 1996 it became obvious to everyone that the election headquarters, which was headed by Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets, was failing its job, Anatoly Chubais convinced the pope of the need to create a new, informal headquarters, which was called the analytical group."

November 20, 1997 Anatoly Chubais relieved of the post of Minister of Finance, retaining the post of First Deputy Chairman of the Government. In 1997, five leading reformers from the Government and the Presidential Administration received an advance of $90 thousand each from a publishing company for the not yet written book “The History of Russian Privatization.” The story was publicized as a “writing affair.” The authors of this book included A. Chubais, who at that time held the positions of First Deputy Chairman of the Government and Minister of Finance. In connection with the accusations, President Boris Yeltsin removed him from the post of Minister of Finance, however, the post of First Deputy Chairman of the Government was retained by him.

Anatoly Chubais at the leadership of RAO UES of Russia

From April 1998 to July 2008, he headed RAO UES of Russia. On April 4, 1998, at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of RAO UES of Russia, he was elected to the company’s Board of Directors. On April 30, 1998, he was appointed Chairman of the Board of RAO UES of Russia.
After a large-scale power grid failure in Russia in 2005, he was questioned by the prosecutor's office as a witness; the Rodina and Yabloko parties demanded his resignation. At the same time, Yabloko stated that the causes of the accident were:

...the use of the RAO UES system to achieve goals unrelated to energy supply objectives, including political ones, incompetence and lack of professionalism, major miscalculations in the implementation of electricity reform, selfish tariff policy pursued by the state under the dictation of energy monopolies, self-confidence and negligence.

A member of the board of directors of RAO UES, Boris Fedorov, stated in 2000 that the restructuring of RAO is carried out in the interests of the company’s management, as well as affiliated oligarchic and political structures, calling Chubais “the worst manager in Russia, who is trying to become a major oligarch at the expense of the state and shareholders.”
On July 1, 2008, RAO UES was liquidated, the unified energy complex was fragmented into many companies involved in generation, maintenance of electrical networks, and energy sales.

Myself Chubais This is how he evaluates the results of the reform energy industry: “The approved program provides for a volume of capacity commissioning in 2006-2010 that was unattainable in Soviet times - 41 thousand megawatts. In 2010 alone we will introduce 22 thousand. At the same time, the maximum volume of annual commissioning in the USSR was 9 thousand megawatts.”

On October 3, 2009, the Rostechnadzor commission investigating the causes of the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station named A. Chubais among six senior executives of the Russian energy industry involved “in creating conditions conducive to the occurrence of an accident.” The Certificate of Technical Investigation of the Causes of the Disaster states in particular that the ex-chairman of the board of RAO UES of Russia Anatoly Chubais“approved the act of the Central Commission for acceptance into operation of the Sayano-Shushenskoye hydropower complex. At the same time, a proper assessment was not given of the actual safety state of the SSHPP.” The commission’s conclusion also states that “subsequently, measures for the safe operation of the SSHHPP were not developed and implemented (including the decision “in as soon as possible begin work on the construction of an additional spillway at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP“, the impellers on hydraulic units have not been replaced, a program of compensating measures has not been developed for the safe operation of hydraulic units involved in power regulation and, therefore, having increased wear).

Chubais believes that capitalism is the only path for Russia, despite contrary opinions: “You know, I have been re-reading Dostoevsky in the last three months. And I feel almost physical hatred for this man. He is certainly a genius, but his idea of ​​the Russians as a chosen, holy people, his cult of suffering and the false choice he offers makes me want to tear him to pieces.”
According to Chubais, subsidiaries should be created at every university, and “a teacher who is unable to create a business calls his professionalism into question.” In November 2009, he stated “If you are an associate professor, professor, head of a department in a specialized area and you don’t have your own business, why the hell do I need you at all?”

Criticism of the activities of Anatoly Chubais

Anatoly Chubais- one of the most unpopular statesmen Russia. Thus, according to the results of a social poll by VTsIOM in December 2006, 77% of Russians did not trust Chubais. In a 2000 FOM survey, the vast majority rated it negatively Chubais's actions, he was characterized as “a person acting to the detriment of Russia”, “a discrediter of reforms”, “a thief”, “a swindler”. The respondents also negatively characterized his work at the head of RAO UES: “it is very cruel to leave children without electricity: hospitals, kindergartens, schools,” “he turns off the electricity - children die in the maternity hospital.” At the same time, a small part of respondents noted it business qualities: efficiency, good organizational skills, energy. In a Romir survey in August 1999, Chubais was named as one of those whose political and economic activity causes the greatest harm to the country. 29% of voters (44 thousand people) in one of the electoral districts of Moscow voted for the officer Vladimir Kvachkov, who was running for the State Duma, accused of organizing the assassination attempt on Chubais (and no longer known).

In 2008, opposition politician Garry Kasparov was very critical of Chubais. Kasparov, in particular, stated: “The “liberal reformers” did not develop the achievements of perestroika, but, on the contrary, buried them,” “Chubais is definitely not lying about one thing - he and his comrades did not lose the country. This country lost”, “the liberals of the 90s do not like their people and are afraid of them.” According to Kasparov, the “deprivations of the early 90s” were in vain.

Assassination attempt on Anatoly Chubais

On March 17, 2005, an attempt was made on Chubais. At the exit from the village of Zhavoronki, Odintsovo district, Moscow region, a bomb was detonated on the route of Chubais’s car, and in addition, the vehicles of the motorcade were fired upon. Chubais was not injured. Three people were detained in connection with the assassination attempt: retired GRU colonel Vladimir Kvachkov and paratroopers of the 45th Airborne Regiment Alexander Naydenov and Robert Yashin.

Kvachkov, while in prison, became involved in politics; he ran for the State Duma from the Preobrazhensky district, and took second place; then he was denied registration as a candidate from the Medvedkovo district. He stated the following:
“From a military-political point of view, this action is one of the forms of a national liberation war. The destruction of any foreign invaders and accomplices of the occupiers, including in the economic field, is the duty and sacred responsibility of every officer, soldier, and any warrior, regardless of whether he is fighting in open armed struggle at the front or operating in the territory of his country occupied by the enemy.”

At the same time, Kvachkov believes that his involvement in the assassination attempt has not been proven. It is interesting that he supported M. B. Khodorkovsky, with whom he spent some time in the same cell.
The Presidium of the Union of Right Forces issued a statement declaring the political nature of the assassination attempt. Chubais himself said that he expected an assassination attempt and the day before ordered to strengthen his security, but did not make detailed comments.

The defendants in the case of the attempt on Chubais demanded that it be tried by a jury. The selection of the panel was repeatedly postponed by the court due to the failure of a sufficient number of candidates to appear, as well as due to the illness of defense lawyers; representatives of the injured party filed a motion to dissolve the selected panel due to its bias (“the majority of the jurors are pensioners who will not be able to objectively consider the case”). On October 9, the lawyer of the defendant Kvachkov, Oksana Mikhalkina, reported that her client was removed from the courtroom and suspended from participating in the trial until the end of the hearing due to violations.

On June 5, 2008, the jury of the Moscow Regional Court returned a not guilty verdict. The guilt of the defendants has not been proven. All defendants - retired GRU colonel Vladimir Kvachkov and retired airborne troops Alexander Naydenov and Robert Yashin - were acquitted. On June 6, 2008, the Moscow City Court extended the arrest of Ivan Mironov, against whom a separate criminal case was opened for this attempt, for another 3 months, and on August 27, it extended the term until November 11.
On August 26, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the acquittal in the case of the assassination attempt on the head of RAO UES of Russia A. Chubais. Thus, the court granted the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and sent the case for a new trial.

On October 13, 2008, the Moscow Regional Court held regular hearings in the case of Kvachkov, Yashin, Naydenov and in the case of Ivan Mironov. During the hearings, it was decided to combine the cases into one.

December 4, 2008 by decision Supreme Court The Russian Federation satisfied the cassation appeal on the issue of illegal detention of Ivan Mironov. Ivan Mironov was released under a guarantee signed by deputies State Duma Ilyukhin, Komoyedov, Starodubtsev and the leader of the People's Union party Baburin.

Chubais is to blame for everything! - a popular phrase that was first heard in the satirical NTV television program “Dolls”. The prototype was a similar formulation with which in January 1996 Russian President Boris Yeltsin dismissed First Deputy Prime Minister Anatoly Chubais “for low demands on subordinate federal departments and failure to fulfill a number of instructions from the President of Russia.”

As Kommersant wrote, the wording was:
Chubais is to blame for the fact that only about 10% of voters voted for the NDR in the parliamentary elections. If it weren't for the mistakes he made in conducting economic policy, the number of voters would be at least 20%. (January 19, 1996).

Two Volgas per voucher

Russian voucher

Two Volgas for a voucher - the promise of the ideologist of Russian privatization Anatoly Chubais in 1992 that subsequently one voucher would be equal to the cost of two Volga cars. Due to the fact that the vast majority of the several tens of millions of voucher holders did not actually receive two Volgas, the phrase is perceived as an example of deception.

Assessments of the activities of Anatoly Chubais
In March 2004, former Chairman of the Board oil company"YUKOS" Mikhail Khodorkovsky in the article "The Crisis of Liberalism in Russia", speaking about Chubais, Gaidar and the "liberals of the first Yeltsin call", wrote:

They deceived 90% of the people by generously promising that a voucher would buy two Volgas. Yes, an enterprising financial player who has access to classified information and is not deprived of the ability to analyze this information could make 10 Volgas out of a privatization check. But they promised everyone.
In 2006, Vlast magazine noted: “The nominal value of the coupons issued to the population was 10 thousand rubles, but in reality it turned out to be equal to the price of two bottles of vodka, and by the end of the year the Volga was worth 3-4 million rubles.”
As Nikolai Petrakov, director of the Institute of Market Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said, the phrase was PR, “under the guise of which privatization took place, which I consider criminal. The point of this PR was to convince people that everyone would get the same from privatization. In fact, it was a deception: after all, our oligarchs did not buy property with their own vouchers.” In his opinion, the main result of privatization was that “most people got absolutely nothing from it.” Russian economist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Glazyev also noted that citizens did not receive what was promised.

According to the Chairman of the Council of Entrepreneurs under the Moscow Government, Mark Masarsky, vouchers were introduced despite the objections of the Council of Entrepreneurs under the President of Russia, and it was known in advance that it would not be possible to purchase two cars for them: “We said that there is a law - there must be registered privatization accounts and there must be a revaluation of those funds that will be subject to privatization. Instead, they made the opposite decision, that is, they issued colored pieces of paper and drew 10 thousand rubles on them.<…>And of course, no two Volgas could be bought with them.<…>We knew in advance what would happen: in conditions of inflation and a shortage of means of payment, those who have these rubles (and these are banks, first of all), will buy vouchers from the population for two boxes, and then for two bottles of vodka. And so it happened. Then someone had a suitcase of these vouchers - they came and, using the second model of privatization, bought, for example, Uralmash.”

Publicist Sergei Kara-Murza wrote in his book:
Chubais announced the equivalent of these “future purchases or expenditures” - two Volgas. It was the receipt of this amount of valuables that the state certified with its voucher. But we know that it was a cold-blooded deception, and Uncle Vasya received a bottle of vodka with his voucher.<…>With the help of “vouchers”, the criminal component in privatization was increased many times over, even compared to the already initially criminal Law on Privatization - even such a flimsy restriction as a “personal investment account” was removed. As a result, Kakha Bendukidze’s voucher was equal to Uralmash, and Uncle Vasya’s voucher was equal to a bottle of vodka.
A number of political forces, in particular the Yabloko party and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, used the phrase to criticize their opponents.

Myself Anatoly Chubais in his book in 1999 he wrote that propaganda support was important for the initiators of privatization at that moment: “it was necessary not only to come up with effective schemes, write good regulatory documents, but also to convince the Duma of the need to adopt these documents, and most importantly, to convince 150 million people of the population get up from their seat, leave the apartment, get a voucher, and then invest it meaningfully! Of course, the propaganda component was fantastically important.” Chubais’s comrade-in-arms in the SPS party, Yevgeny Yasin, recalled that the promise of two Volgas was “a purely propaganda task.” Yasin stated that “there is no such thing as fair privatization,” noting the similarities with the Great French Revolution of 1789: “what outrages happened there, what fortunes were created, what a real Thermidor was,” “Thermidor was a victory for those who appropriated the most a large share of national assets." The concentration of privatized property in the hands of a small number of people was, as he admitted, the conscious goal of the reformers: “we wanted the concentration of property in the hands of people who could then organize the economy and production”

Lawsuits against Chubai

In 2000, the newspaper Delovaya Pressa published an article “A Russian for the first time sued Chubais for two Volgas against a voucher.” The bottom line was that in the period 1993-1994 Chubais claimed that the voucher was equal to two Volgas. A resident of the village of Energetik, Vladimir Region, Vladimir Kuvshinov, sent Chubais a letter in which he asked for advice on where to invest a voucher to get two Volgas.
In his response letter, Chubais advised to give it to the State Property Committee in exchange for part of the shares of the Scientific Institute of Light Alloys. Kuvshinov gave his voucher there, but never received the shares. He filed a lawsuit with the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow, which ordered the recovery of two Volgas against Chubais as a voucher. Kuvshinov is still the first and remains the last who was able (at least on paper) to get a Volga with a voucher: he filed a lawsuit in 1998, and in 1999 the statute of limitations for filing a claim expired.

The childhood and youth of Anatoly Chubais

Anatoly Chubais, born into a military family, learned all the “delights” of garrison life from childhood. Father, Boris Matveevich Chubais, became a retiree with the rank of colonel and taught students of the Leningrad Mining Institute the philosophy of Lenin and Marx. Mother, Raisa Khamovna Sagal, had an extraordinary mind, had a specialty in economics, however, she never worked, devoting herself to the family and raising her sons.

The mother paid attention to the multifaceted development of the boy, as well as his brother Igor, who in the future became a Doctor of Philosophy, professor of the Department of Social Philosophy of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the RUDN University.

Even at school (the future politician became a first-grader in Odessa), Anatoly preferred exact sciences and came up with all sorts of clever inventions.

In the mid-60s, the family lived in Lviv, and in 1967, military service brought the father and the whole family to the city of palaces and museums. In Leningrad, Chubais studied at a school with military-patriotic education.

In the family of a Soviet officer, there were often discussions regarding political and philosophical topics, and young Anatoly was an unwitting witness to the debates that took place between his father and his older brother. This uniquely influenced the young man’s choice and he chose the economics university over the philosophical direction.

Student years and the beginning of Chubais’s career in politics

In 1972, Anatoly became a student at the Leningrad Engineering and Economic Institute named after Palmiro Togliatti. He chose the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

Mother - Raisa Efimovna Segal(according to other sources, Raisa Khaimovna Sagal, 1918−2004) was an economist by profession and was involved in raising children.

Chubais is real name Anatoly Borisovich. The surname Chubais is of Latvian origin.

Anatoly was the second child in the family. His older brother - Igor Borisovich Chubais(b. 1947) - Doctor of Philosophy, Professor of the Department of Social Philosophy at RUDN University.

Anatoly’s childhood was filled with the hardships of life as children of military personnel, although, as his brother Igor said, Chubais’s father, a lieutenant colonel, had an above-average salary. “They never died of hunger and never lived in poverty,” said Igor Chubais in an interview with KP.

He began his studies in Odessa, where his father was then serving, then continued his studies in Lvov, and in the fifth grade, little Chubais went to school No. 188 with military-political education in Leningrad. As Anatoly Borisovich admitted, he hated his school.

Despite the fact that Anatoly Borisovich Chubais, as a child, often listened with interest to conversations between his father and brother about politics and philosophy, Chubais was more inclined towards the exact sciences, and therefore entered the Leningrad Engineering and Economic Institute. In 1977, Anatoly Borisovich Chubais graduated from the institute with honors. In 1983, Chubais became a candidate of economic sciences. Anatoly Chubais began his career at the same university, working first as an engineer, then as an assistant, and finally as an assistant professor.

Anatoly Chubais - career as a politician

Anatoly Chubais became a member of the CPSU in the late seventies, and in the mid-80s Anatoly Borisovich and his supporters created the informal club “Perestroika”, actively conducting economic seminars. Chubais was attracted to democratic ideas, which the future politician dreamed of disseminating among the broad masses. At these seminars, Anatoly Borisovich met Egor Gaidar. This acquaintance played a role in his future career as a politician.

The biography on Chubais’s website also notes that in 1979-1987 Anatoly was the leader of “an informal circle of ‘young economists’, which was created by a group of graduates of economic universities in the city.”

In 1991, Anatoly Chubais was offered the position of chief adviser on economic development at the Leningrad City Hall. Anatoly Borisovich created working group to create an economic strategy for the development of the Russian economy. Further, the career of Anatoly Chubais developed rapidly during an extremely difficult period in Russian history. In November of the same year, Chubais became the head of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for State Property Management, and in 1992 he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Russia under the President Boris Yeltsin.

In 1993, Anatoly Chubais became a State Duma deputy from the Russia's Choice party.

As Deputy Prime Minister, Anatoly Chubais and his team developed the famous privatization program. As a result, 130 thousand. state enterprises ended up in private hands. Despite the fact that it is recognized by society as unsatisfactory (on December 9, 1994, the State Duma adopted a resolution in which it described the results of privatization as unsatisfactory, says Wikipedia) and still causes a lot of criticism, this did not prevent Chubais from making a career and occupying increasingly significant positions. posts in the political arena.

However, Anatoly Chubais was convinced that the transfer of control over enterprises with hundreds of thousands of workers to the oligarchs helped them acquire administrative resources, which prevented the victory of the opposition Communist Party in the 1996 presidential elections: “If we had not carried out mortgage privatization, the communists would have won the elections in 1996 “,” Chubais admitted in an interview with the Financial Times in 2004.

However, the voucher, which, according to Anatoly Chubais, had the price of “two cars,” was rapidly depreciating in value. Speculation in vouchers began in the country, and people sold them for next to nothing, as they were completely impoverished. Chubais himself later wrote in a book about the importance of the “propaganda component” in the privatization story.

In 1996, Anatoly Borisovich headed the election campaign of Boris Yeltsin. The company was successful, and Yeltsin appointed Chubais as head of the presidential administration, and a few months later he awarded the rank of 1st Class Actual State Advisor of the Russian Federation.

During 1997−1998, Anatoly Chubais served as Minister of Finance in the government Viktor Chernomyrdin, but then resigned together with the Cabinet of Ministers. Chubais's biography on his website emphasizes that in 1997 he was "recognized as the best finance minister of the year by Euromoney magazine."

In 1998, Anatoly Chubais was elected head of the board of RAO UES of Russia. And again Anatoly Borisovich started a reform - he considered it possible to restructure all the holding’s enterprises and transfer most of their shares to private investors.

In 2017, the former head of RAO UES of Russia, Anatoly Chubais, said at the Eastern Economic Forum that the reserve of energy capacity would be exhausted by 2023-2024.

“The removal of obsolete capacities is a fundamental task of the electric power complex, while there is a possibility for this, because the reserve will end by 2023-2024. It is necessary... to sharpen completely new mechanisms of contracts for the supply of power for global modernization, for which, God bless, we have another 5-7 years, in order to properly use the reserve of capacity that the energy reform created,” Chubais was quoted as saying in the news.

The UES of Russia company was liquidated in 2008, and Anatoly Borisovich was appointed general director of the state-owned Russian Nanotechnology Corporation. In 2011, under the leadership of Chubais, the state company was reorganized and re-registered as an open joint-stock company, and also became the leading innovative company in the Russian Federation.

Anatoly Chubais combined work as an official with political activity, and participated in the creation of the election bloc “Russia’s Choice” and the “Union of Right Forces” party. On January 24, 2004, he resigned from the post of Co-Chairman of the Union of Right Forces party.

Then the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the acquittal and sent the case for a new trial. In October 2008, the case of Kvachkov, Yashin, Naydenov was merged with the case Ivan Mironov, detained in 2006 on charges of attempted murder.

On December 4, 2008, the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation satisfied the cassation appeal on the issue of illegal detention of Ivan Mironov. Mironov was released under a guarantee signed by State Duma deputies Ilyukhin, Komoyedov, Starodubtsev And Baburin. In the summer of 2010, the jury of the Moscow regional court finally acquitted three suspects.

Criticism of Anatoly Chubais

In 2009, after the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power plant accident, the commission investigating the disaster named Chubais among six senior Russian energy industry executives involved “in creating conditions conducive to the accident.”

The activities of Anatoly Chubais at the head of RAO UES and Rusnano, as well as the privatization he carried out, are very negatively perceived by the people. Chubais is one of the most unpopular politicians in Russian society. At the same time, some note his business qualities: efficiency, good organizational skills, energy.

According to the results of a 2006 VTsIOM opinion poll, 77% of Russians did not trust Chubais. In a 2000 FOM survey, Chubais was characterized as “a person acting to the detriment of Russia”, “a discrediter of reforms”, a “swindler”, etc.

Anatoly Wasserman noted that “Chubais heads one of the state corporations, whose regular failures do not in any way affect the state of the country as a whole. So he was taken to a safe place for others.”

The activities of Anatoly Chubais continually raise questions among deputies. In 2014, a request was sent to Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika to investigate the activities of the state corporation Rusnano by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Oksana Dmitrieva, in her opinion, the activities of the head of Rusnano and other managers of the state corporation for the development of nanotechnology have signs of at least nine elements of crime.

Later in the news it was reported that the financial director and members of the board of the state corporation Rusnano were brought in as suspects in a criminal case on suspicion of misappropriation and embezzlement, as well as abuse of power.

In the summer of 2015, Free Press reported that the former head of the state corporation Rusnanotech, which was later transformed into OJSC Rusnano, Leonid Melamed was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement of more than 300 million rubles. An associate of Anatoly Chubais is suspected of committing a crime under Part 3 of Article 33 of Part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Organization of major embezzlement”).

Entrepreneur Dmitry Lerner wrote an appeal to the RF IC addressed to the head of the department Alexandra Bastrykina, demanding that a case be opened against Chubais as well.

Chubais’s statement in December 2015 that they simply have “a lot of money” caused a lot of noise. “The first thing I wanted to say is: we have a lot of money! There are quite a lot of them. That is why we have the opportunity not only to “handle” a lot of money, but also to invest it in our long-term strategy! It completely solved all the problems, including the problem of potential financial failure,” Chubais said at a New Year’s corporate party, and this speech made the news in most media and caused a sharp reaction in society.

Then the news reported that a commentary published on the state corporation’s website said that members of the boards of the Rusnano Foundation for Infrastructure and Educational Programs decided to pay for a pre-New Year event for the group’s employees from personal funds. The total cost was 2 million 238 thousand rubles, and a total of 415 people attended the event. Nevertheless, it became known that the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation is conducting an audit of the expenditure of Rusnano funds raised under state guarantees in the period from 2010 to 2015.

Deputy Prime Minister for social policy Olga Golodets proposed to the head of Rusnano Anatoly Chubais, who at a corporate party announced that the corporation had large quantity money, donate funds to those who need them.

In March 2016, information appeared in the media that the head of Rusnano was asking for 89 billion rubles to be allocated from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) to launch a Russian-Indian fund worth $2 billion. Press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov then stated that he knew nothing about this request from Chubais. But the head of Rusnano confirmed that he had indeed approached the Russian authorities with a request to allocate 89 billion rubles to the state company. with the aim of establishing a Russian-Indian fund.

In March 2017, Chubais complained on social networks about harassment by his former manager Ilya Suchkov and other persons, and announced his appeal to the police in this regard. “I hate legal squabbles, but in the end I decided to file a statement with the police to initiate a criminal case against Ilya Suchkov and a group of comrades of Chechen nationality working for him for extortion and slander. Ilya was once a hired manager of my company, but then I sold it to him,” Anatoly Chubais was quoted as saying in the news.

Chubais noted that the degree of horror among forum participants now, in 2017, is equal to the degree of horror in 2009, when the global financial crisis was unfolding.

In 2002, he graduated from the Faculty of Advanced Training of Teachers and Specialists of the Moscow Energy Institute in the field of “Problems of Modern Energy”. Final work on the topic: “Prospects for the development of hydropower in Russia.”

In 1983 he defended his PhD thesis in economics on the topic: “Research and development of planning methods for improving management in industrial scientific and technical organizations.”

Scientific and political activity in the USSR and Russia

In 1977-1982 - engineer, assistant at the Leningrad Engineering and Economics Institute, where later, in 1982-1990, he worked as an assistant professor.

In the mid-1980s, he was the leader of an informal circle of democratically minded economists in Leningrad, created by a group of graduates of economic universities in the city.

In 1980 he joined the CPSU. In 1987 he participated in the founding of the Leningrad club “Perestroika”. In 1990, deputy, then first deputy chairman of the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council, chief economic adviser to the mayor of Leningrad Anatoly Sobchak.

In March 1990, Chubais and a group of supporters proposed to Mikhail Gorbachev a project for market reforms, which included the option of forcibly limiting political and civil freedoms (freedom of speech, the right to strike, etc.)

Since September 2011, he has been the head of the Department of Technological Entrepreneurship at MIPT.

First appointment to the Russian government

Since November 15, 1991 - Chairman of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for State Property Management - Minister of the RSFSR.

On June 1, 1992, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation for economic and financial policy. By the time of his appointment, Chubais had acquired a reputation as one of the toughest market liberals.

Under the leadership of Chubais, a privatization program was developed and its technical preparation was carried out. In addition to the law “On the privatization of state and municipal enterprises in the RSFSR” of 1991 with the participation of acting. O. Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Chubais in 1992 issued a decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin “On accelerating the privatization of state and municipal enterprises,” which led to the creation of a state privatization program and gave rise to reform.

On July 31, 1992, Chubais, by order No. 141, created the “Department of Technical Assistance and Expertise,” which employed American economic advisers. The head of the department, Jonathan Hay, according to the former chairman of the State Property Committee Vladimir Polevanov, was a CIA employee. In 2004, a trial began against Jonathan Hay and Andrei Shleifer in the United States on charges of fraud and financial abuse of wasting American taxpayers' money. Polevanov noted regarding the activities of Chubais’s advisers: “Having picked up the documents, I was horrified to discover that a number of the largest military-industrial complex enterprises had been bought up by foreigners for next to nothing. That is, factories and design bureaus that produced top-secret products are out of our control. The same Jonathan Hay, with the help of Chubais, bought a 30% stake in the Moscow Electrode Plant and the Graphite Research Institute, which operated in cooperation with it, the country’s only developer of graphite coatings for stealth aircraft. After which Hay blocked the order of the military space forces for the production of high technologies.”

Later, in November 2004, in an interview with The Financial Times, Chubais said that privatization in Russia was carried out solely for the purpose of a struggle for power against the “communist leaders”: “We needed to get rid of them, but we didn’t have time for that.” . The count was not for months, but for days.” Chubais also believes it was correct to hold loans-for-shares auctions when, as the newspaper writes, “the most valuable and largest Russian assets were transferred to a group of tycoons in exchange for loans and support for the then seriously ill Yeltsin in the 1996 elections.” According to Chubais, the transfer of control over enterprises with hundreds of thousands of workers to the oligarchs helped them acquire administrative resources, which prevented the victory of the opposition Communist Party in the 1996 presidential elections: “If we had not carried out mortgage privatization, the Communists would have won the elections in 1996.”

Chubais’s promise in 1992 is widely known that subsequently one voucher would be equal in value to two cars. Later in society this promise began to be perceived as a deception. In his book in 1999, he wrote that propaganda support was important for the initiators of privatization at that moment: “it was necessary not only to come up with effective schemes, write good regulatory documents, but also to convince the Duma of the need to adopt these documents, and most importantly, to convince 150 millions of people get up from their seats, leave their apartment, get a voucher, and then invest it meaningfully! Of course, the propaganda component was fantastically important.”

In Russia, about 130 thousand enterprises were privatized in 1991-1997; thanks to the voucher system and loans-for-shares auctions, a significant part of large state assets ended up in the hands of a narrow group of individuals (“oligarchs”). By purchasing vouchers for next to nothing from the impoverished population under the conditions of reforms and crisis (liberalization of prices and non-payment of wages), lost savings and ill-informed population, redistribution through financial pyramids, and the implementation of corrupt loan-for-shares auction schemes, large state property was concentrated with the “oligarchs.” Chubais was subsequently called the founder of oligarchic capitalism in Russia.

The privatization program outlined 7 main goals: the formation of a layer of private owners; increasing the efficiency of enterprises; social protection of the population and development of social infrastructure using funds from privatization; assistance in stabilizing the country's financial situation; promoting demonopolization and creating a competitive environment; attracting foreign investment; creating conditions for expanding the scale of privatization. When he was the head of the State Property Committee, V. Polevanov, having analyzed the results of privatization in a document addressed to the Prime Minister, concluded that of the seven privatization goals, only the seventh and formally the first were fully realized, while the rest were failed. Although formally there were several tens of millions of shareholders in Russia, only a small part of them actually controlled property; the desire for demonopolization at any cost led to the destruction of many technological chains and contributed to the deepening of the economic recession; foreign investment not only did not increase, but also decreased, and those that did arrive were directed mainly to the primary industries.

On December 9, 1994, the State Duma adopted a resolution in which it described the results of privatization as unsatisfactory.

In general, the Russian population has a negative attitude towards the results of privatization. As data from several sociological surveys show, about 80% of Russians consider it illegitimate and are in favor of a complete or partial revision of its results. About 90% of Russians are of the opinion that privatization was carried out dishonestly and large fortunes were acquired through dishonest means (72% of entrepreneurs also agree with this point of view). As researchers note, Russian society has developed a stable, “almost consensus” rejection of privatization and the large private property formed on its basis.

In June 1993, Chubais took part in the creation of the “Choice of Russia” election bloc. In December 1993, he was elected to the State Duma from the electoral association “Choice of Russia”.

From November 5, 1994 - January 16, 1996 - First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation for economic and financial policy. In 1995-1997 - member of the Foreign Policy Council under the President of the Russian Federation. From April 1995 to February 1996 - manager from Russia in international financial organizations.

In January 1996, B. N. Yeltsin resigned from the post of Deputy Prime Minister after the defeat of the pro-government party “Our Home is Russia” in the elections to the State Duma of the 2nd convocation. Yeltsin said: “That the party got 10% of the votes is Chubais! If it weren’t for Chubais, it would be 20%!” In the program “Dolls” (written by Viktor Shenderovich), these words of Yeltsin were conveyed as “Chubais is to blame for everything!”; this formulation has become a very popular expression. The Presidential Decree of January 16, 1996 noted Chubais’s low demands on subordinate federal departments, as well as the failure to fulfill a number of instructions from the President of the Russian Federation.

Participation in Yeltsin's 1996 election campaign

Soon after resigning from the post of Deputy Prime Minister, Chubais headed Yeltsin's election headquarters.

In the 1996 presidential campaign, he was involved in the “copier box case,” when on the night of June 19-20, 1996, members of Boris Yeltsin’s election headquarters, headed by Chubais, Arkady Evstafiev and Sergei Lisovsky were detained while trying to take them out of the White House box containing $538,000 in cash. However, after interrogation they were released, and the initiators of their detention - head of the presidential security service Alexander Korzhakov, FSB director Mikhail Barsukov and First Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets - were dismissed. The case was closed, and the owner of the box was not identified.

Yeltsin’s daughter Tatyana Dyachenko, who was part of the election headquarters, recalled in December 2009 that Chubais played an important role in carrying Yeltsin to a second presidential term: “When at the beginning of 1996 it became obvious to everyone that the election headquarters, which was headed by the Deputy Prime Minister government Oleg Soskovets is failing his job, Anatoly Chubais convinced the pope of the need to create a new, informal headquarters, which was called an analytical group.”

Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation

On July 15, 1996, he was appointed head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. In 1996, he was awarded the qualification category Actual State Advisor of the Russian Federation, 1st class.

Second appointment to the Russian government

On March 7, 1997, he was appointed First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, and from March 17, at the same time, Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation.

On November 20, 1997, he was relieved of his post as Minister of Finance, retaining the post of First Deputy Chairman of the Government. In 1997, five leading reformers from the Government and the Presidential Administration received an advance of $90 thousand each from a publishing company for the not yet written book “The History of Russian Privatization.” The story was publicized as a “writing affair.” The authors of this book included A. Chubais, who at that time held the positions of First Deputy Chairman of the Government and Minister of Finance. In connection with the accusations, President Boris Yeltsin removed him from the post of Minister of Finance, however, the post of First Deputy Chairman of the Government was retained by him. See Book Scandal (1997).

In 1997, based on an expert survey of the world's leading financiers, he was named the best finance minister of the year by the British magazine Euromoney (with the wording “for his contribution to the successful development of his country’s economy”).

In April 1997, he was appointed manager for the Russian Federation at the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.

May 1997 - May 1998 - member of the Russian Security Council.

March 23, 1998 - relieved of his post as First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia.

RAO UES of Russia

From April 1998 to July 2008, he headed RAO UES of Russia. On April 4, 1998, at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of RAO UES of Russia, he was elected to the company’s Board of Directors. On April 30, 1998, he was appointed Chairman of the Board of RAO UES of Russia.

After a large-scale power grid failure in Russia in 2005, he was questioned by the prosecutor's office as a witness; the Rodina and Yabloko parties demanded his resignation. At the same time, Yabloko stated that the causes of the accident were:

...the use of the RAO UES system to achieve goals unrelated to the objectives of energy supply, including political ones, incompetence and lack of professionalism, major miscalculations in the implementation of electricity reform, selfish tariff policy pursued by the state under the dictation of energy monopolies, self-confidence and negligence.

A member of the board of directors of RAO UES, Boris Fedorov, said in 2000 that the restructuring of RAO is being carried out in the interests of the company’s management, as well as affiliated oligarchic and political structures, calling Chubais “the worst manager in Russia, who is trying to become a major oligarch at the expense of the state and shareholders.”

On July 1, 2008, RAO UES was liquidated, the unified energy complex was fragmented into many companies involved in generation, maintenance of electrical networks, and energy sales.

Chubais himself assesses the results of the reform of the energy industry as follows: “The approved program provides for a volume of capacity commissioning in 2006-2010 that was unattainable in Soviet times - 41 thousand megawatts. In 2010 alone we will introduce 22 thousand. Wherein maximum volume annual commissioning in the USSR was 9 thousand megawatts.”

On October 3, 2009, the Rostekhnadzor commission investigating the causes of the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station named A. Chubais among six senior executives of the Russian energy industry involved “in creating conditions conducive to the occurrence of the accident.” The Certificate of Technical Investigation of the Causes of the Disaster states in particular that the ex-chairman of the board of RAO UES of Russia, Anatoly Chubais, “approved the act of the Central Commission for the acceptance into operation of the Sayano-Shushenskoye hydropower complex. At the same time, a proper assessment was not given of the actual safety state of the SSHPP.” The commission’s conclusion also states that “subsequently, measures for the safe operation of the SSHHPP were not developed and implemented (including the decision “to begin work on the construction of an additional spillway at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP as soon as possible”; the impellers were not replaced on hydraulic units, a program of compensating measures has not been developed for the safe operation of hydraulic units involved in power regulation and, therefore, having increased wear).” Anatoly Chubais himself did not deny his share of guilt in the accident.

In 2011, he was elected Chairman of the Board of OJSC RUSNANO in connection with the transformation from a Group of Companies to an OJSC.

Political activities and beliefs

The beginning of A. B. Chubais’s political activity dates back to the so-called. "Leningrad circle" of "young economists". After the founding of the Perestroika club, Chubais became a significant figure in the then democratic movement. In 1990, after the victory of the democratic forces over the CPSU in the elections to the Leningrad City Council, he was appointed deputy, then first deputy chairman of the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council, and was the chief economic adviser to the mayor of Leningrad Anatoly Sobchak. Since November 15, 1991 - Chairman of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for State Property Management - Minister of the RSFSR. On June 1, 1992, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation for economic and financial policy. By the time of his appointment, Chubais had acquired a reputation as one of the toughest market liberals. Soon after resigning from the post of Deputy Prime Minister, Chubais headed Yeltsin's election headquarters.

In February 1996, he created the Civil Society Foundation, on the basis of which the analytical group of B. N. Yeltsin’s election headquarters began to work. In June 1996, he created the Center for the Protection of Private Property Foundation.

In December 1998, he joined the organizing committee of the Right Cause coalition and was elected to the coordinating committee of the coalition's organizing committee. Headed the commission on organizational work of the coordinating council.

In May 2000, at the founding congress of the all-Russian political organization “Union of Right Forces”, he was elected co-chairman of the coordination council. On May 26, 2001, at the founding congress of the Union of Right Forces party, he was elected co-chairman and member of the federal political council. On January 24, 2004, he resigned from the post of co-chairman of the party. Elected to the party's federal political council.

Chubais believes that capitalism is the only path for Russia, despite contrary opinions: “You know, I have been re-reading Dostoevsky in the last three months. And I feel almost physical hatred for this man. He is certainly a genius, but his idea of ​​the Russians as a chosen, holy people, his cult of suffering and the false choice he offers makes me want to tear him to pieces.”

According to Chubais, subsidiaries should be created at every university, and “a teacher who is unable to create a business calls his professionalism into question.” In November 2009, he stated “If you are an associate professor, professor, head of a department in a specialized area and you don’t have your own business, why the hell do I need you at all?”

Criticism of Chubais' activities

Anatoly Chubais is one of the most unpopular statesmen in Russia. Thus, according to the results of a social poll by VTsIOM in December 2006, 77% of Russians did not trust Chubais. In a 2000 FOM poll, the overwhelming majority assessed Chubais’s actions negatively; he was characterized as “a person acting to the detriment of Russia,” “a discrediter of reforms,” a “thief,” and a “swindler.” The respondents also negatively characterized his work at the head of RAO UES: “it is very cruel to leave children without electricity: hospitals, kindergartens, schools,” “he turns off the electricity - children die in the maternity hospital.” At the same time, a small part of the respondents noted his business qualities: efficiency, good organizational skills, energy. In a Romir survey in August 1999, Chubais was named one of those whose political and economic activities cause the greatest harm to the country. 29% of voters (44 thousand people) voted for the officer Vladimir Kvachkov, who was accused of organizing the assassination attempt on Chubais, in one of the electoral districts of Moscow.

In 2008, opposition politician Garry Kasparov was very critical of Chubais. Kasparov, in particular, stated: “The “liberal reformers” did not develop the achievements of perestroika, but, on the contrary, buried them,” “Chubais is definitely not lying about one thing - he and his comrades did not lose the country. This country lost”, “the liberals of the 90s do not like their people and are afraid of them.” According to Kasparov, the “deprivations of the early 90s” were in vain.

Attempt on Chubais

On March 17, 2005, an attempt was made on Chubais. At the exit from the village of Zhavoronki, Odintsovo district, Moscow region, a bomb was detonated on the route of Chubais’s car, and in addition, the vehicles of the motorcade were fired upon. Chubais was not injured. Three people were detained in connection with the assassination attempt: retired GRU colonel Vladimir Kvachkov and paratroopers of the 45th Airborne Regiment Alexander Naydenov and Robert Yashin.

Kvachkov, while in prison, became involved in politics; he ran for the State Duma from the Preobrazhensky district, and took second place; then he was denied registration as a candidate from the Medvedkovo district. He stated the following:

At the same time, Kvachkov believes that his involvement in the assassination attempt has not been proven. It is interesting that he supported M. B. Khodorkovsky, with whom he spent some time in the same cell.

The Presidium of the Union of Right Forces issued a statement declaring the political nature of the assassination attempt. Chubais himself said that he expected an assassination attempt and the day before ordered to strengthen his security, but did not make detailed comments.

The defendants in the case of the attempt on Chubais demanded that it be tried by a jury. The selection of the panel was repeatedly postponed by the court due to the failure of a sufficient number of candidates to appear, as well as due to the illness of defense lawyers; representatives of the injured party filed a motion to dissolve the selected panel due to its bias (“the majority of the jurors are pensioners who will not be able to objectively consider the case”). On October 9, the lawyer of the defendant Kvachkov, Oksana Mikhalkina, reported that her client was removed from the courtroom and suspended from participating in the trial until the end of the hearing due to violations.

On June 5, 2008, the jury of the Moscow Regional Court returned a not guilty verdict. The guilt of the defendants has not been proven. All defendants - retired GRU colonel Vladimir Kvachkov and retired airborne troops Alexander Naydenov and Robert Yashin - were acquitted. On June 6, 2008, the Moscow City Court extended the arrest period of Ivan Mironov, against whom a separate criminal case was opened for this attempt, for another 3 months, and on August 27, it extended the period until November 11.

On August 26, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the acquittal in the case of the assassination attempt on the head of RAO UES of Russia A. Chubais. Thus, the court granted the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and sent the case for a new trial.

On October 13, 2008, the Moscow Regional Court held regular hearings in the case of Kvachkov, Yashin, Naydenov and in the case of Ivan Mironov. During the hearings, it was decided to combine the cases into one.

On December 4, 2008, the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation satisfied the cassation appeal on the issue of illegal detention of Ivan Mironov. Ivan Mironov was released under a guarantee signed by State Duma deputies Ilyukhin, Komoedov, Starodubtsev and the leader of the People's Union party Baburin. On August 20, 2010, the jury of the Moscow Regional Court finally acquitted the three suspects. At the same time, the question “Has it been proven that on March 17, 2005, an explosion was carried out on the Mitkinskoye Highway in order to end the life of the Chairman of RAO UES of Russia A. B. Chubais?” the jury responded, “Yes. Proven” in the following proportion: seven out of twelve jurors - the crime was proven; five - there was no crime (there was an imitation of an attempt).

Anatoly Chubais in folk culture

The catchphrase, which first appeared in the TV show Kukly: “Chubais is to blame for everything.”

For his ambiguity, Chubais became the hero of jokes. For example, like this:

Participants in the attempt on the life of Anatoly Chubais received a suspended sentence under the article “negligence and inattention.”

Chubais himself, apparently, treats his image in the eyes of the people with irony - on his personal website there is a special section of anecdotes about himself.
