Aksyonov new prime minister of Crimea biography. Their Crimea: the Aksenov clan, its politicians and businessmen
In 2015, during the crisis, Sergei Valeryevich reduced his own salary by 50 percent (for the period from March to December), supporting the initiative of the Russian president, who reduced his financial security by 10 percent.
In 2016, the leader of the regional government called the territory of the Southern coast of the Crimean peninsula under his jurisdiction, where the famous cultural and historical monuments of architecture, the most beautiful palaces-museums (Vorontsovsky, Yusupovsky, Livadia, Massandrovsky) are located.
Childhood and family of Sergei Aksenov
The future head of the executive power of the Crimean Federal District was born on November 26, 1972 in the Moldavian city of Balti in the family of Nina Semyonovna and Valery Nikolaevich, who was then a worker-regulator of radio equipment at a local plant, designated as mailbox No. 4 and specialized in the production of devices for the military courts. 
At school, their son was distinguished by social activity, good learning abilities, and a love of sports. Sergei was the captain of the football team, for academic excellence he was awarded a silver medal upon graduation.
In 1989, he entered the Higher Military-Political Construction School in Simferopol, where political workers were trained for the corresponding type of troops. Sergey Valeryevich studied well and successfully graduated from the university in 1993, but retired from the reserve.
Sergey Aksenov's career
At the age of 21, Sergey began to engage in entrepreneurial activities. At first, he got a job as an insurance agent in the Irbis private enterprise, which specialized in the sale of household items, then he was the deputy head of a number of cooperatives and enterprises that were engaged in the sale of food and industrial goods. According to the statement of the Security Service of Ukraine, at the same time he had a chance to move in criminal circles and become one of the leaders of the Salem criminal group, which, among other things, was the “roof” of restaurants, bars, shops and firms.In favor of the reliability of such statements is the fact that he received a gunshot wound during the shelling of his car in 1996, as well as the murder of his friend and partner Samkhan Agaev, a criminal authority nicknamed "Sani", who "protected" retail outlets and currency exchange offices. His "business" was transferred to Sergei, who, after the incident, acquired security guards. This attempt was not the only one - later a bomb was found and defused in his house.
The successful businessman also had useful contacts in government structures - with Radion Ratia, the then prosecutor of Simferopol, with Valery Gorbatov, head of the Crimean branch of the State Property Fund of Ukraine. As a result, he managed to privatize the Yalta Khladokombinat in Massandra, a food store (along Snezhkov Street) in Alushta, and a glass container factory, an accessories factory and other facilities in Simferopol.
By 2008, Sergey Valerievich also became the owner of residential real estate for rent, firms providing visa services, a bar with the iconic name "Alcatraz", apparently in honor of the most famous prison of the same name in the world, where the king of the underworld Al Capone served time .
The next, quite logical, stage in the entrepreneur's activity since 2008 was membership in a number of socio-political associations, including the "Russian Community of Crimea", "Civil Assets of Crimea".

The income of his wife amounted to 3.5 million rubles. She is the owner of three apartments of 200 square meters, seven non-residential premises and several plots of land of 1.6 thousand square meters, as well as a residential building and a BMW 750 car.

Sergei Aksenov today
In 2010, the young politician became the head of the Russian Unity movement, formed by combining several related structures. From this political force, he was elected a member of the Parliament of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (ARC).Sergei Aksyonov's appeal to the inhabitants of Odessa
In 2014, when armed Russian special forces occupied the building of the Verkhovna Rada of the ARC and hoisted the flag of the Russian Federation over it, parliamentarians elected him head of the regional government and scheduled a referendum on the status of the republic. According to official information, the election procedure met the requirements of the law, but according to other sources, the number of deputies was not sufficient to recognize it as legitimate. According to the results of the referendum, in March an agreement was signed on the accession of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia.
Most states characterized the change in the status of Crimea as aggression and occupation by the Russian Federation, which violated the 1997 friendship agreement, the 2003 state border agreement, and respect for territorial integrity. The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on non-recognition of the referendum held at gunpoint. Russia, on the other hand, considers the change in the state ownership of Crimea to be the realization of the right of peoples to self-determination.

Gritsenko Anatoly Pavlovich, born September 21, 1958, former chairman of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Aksenov was in a strained relationship with him. At the same time, Gritsenko interfered in every possible way with the political activities of Aksyonov.
Konstantinov Vladimir Andreevich, 11/19/1956, Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Initially, they were political opponents (Konstantinov headed the Crimean branch of the Party of Regions), but recently they have been carrying out virtually synchronous work on the return of Crimea to Russia.
Lazutkin Vitaly Vladimirovich, 11/24/1955 year of birth, chairman of the Crimean Republican Charitable Foundation. Familiar with Aksenov in the 1990s. Aksyonov came to the "Civil Asset of Crimea" at the invitation of Lazutkin.

Tsekov Sergey Pavlovich, 09/28/1953 year of birth, chairman of the Russian community of Crimea. Thanks to cooperation with Tsekov, Aksyonov took a leading position in the Russian movement in Crimea.
To information
It should be noted that the election of Aksyonov as co-chairman of the Coordinating Council was difficult, since many opposed his candidacy. The outcome of the vote was decided by financial resources, which Sergei Valeryevich was ready to make available to the coalition. Both co-chairs distributed their duties as follows: Tsekov became responsible for ideological work, and Aksenov was instructed to lead the socio-economic direction. Sergey Valeryevich also retained his influence on the "Civil Assets of Crimea", which had a serious combat core and became the main force participating in various actions, including unauthorized ones. Aksyonov managed to win over the local Cossacks, however, at the cost of provoking a split in their ranks.
In 2009, Sergei Valerievich also became the leader of the All-Crimean socio-political movement "Russian Unity" (in 2010 it received the status of a party) and the first deputy chairman of the "Russian Community of Crimea". In 2010, he was elected on the list of "Russian Unity" to the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. There he was chairman of the subcommittee on tax policy of the standing committee on budgetary, economic and investment policy. Despite the fact that in Kyiv he was considered one of the promising politicians of the “new generation”, he was not paid much attention to.
Aksyonov's finest hour came on February 27, 2014, when the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea was seized by a detachment of unknown armed men in camouflage uniforms. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, guarding the building, were expelled from there, and the Russian flag was raised over the building. The invaders let in a group of deputies who voted for the appointment of Sergei Valeryevich as the prime minister of the new government. On the same day, a decision was made to hold a referendum on the status of Crimea. It is interesting that Aksyonov's candidacy was agreed by telephone between the speaker of the Supreme Council Vladimir Konstantinov and Viktor Yanukovych, whom the Crimean parliamentarians considered the legitimate head of Ukraine. In the days that followed, Aksyonov and Konstantinov became the locomotives of the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
Politics, as you know, has always been considered a "dirty" business. It is very difficult, being at the heights of power, not to get dirty, all the more so, there are a huge number of temptations to sacrifice conscience and reputation, and there are even more people who want to offer them for their own selfish purposes. The Crimean Spring, which returned the resort peninsula to Russia, put forward new names of regional politicians, unknown before the village, to the top news, which quickly entered the daily vocabulary and became recognizable on TV screens.
At the mention of the slogan “Crimea is ours!” that united almost all Russians! the image of the head of the new subject of the federation, Sergei Aksyonov, who became a symbol of the patriotic movement of compatriots, immediately comes to mind - a young, energetic leader who took on a huge responsibility and was not afraid of threats and possible repressions from the Ukrainian authorities. At times, his popularity rating exceeded that of the head of another Russian subject, Ramzan Kadyrov.
Are the "troubled" times of the 90s, when adventurers of all stripes, individuals with a "dark" past and simply dishonorable people, flocked to politics, like bees to honey, gone? In the new century, people of a completely different formation will come to power - honest unmercenaries, with their enthusiasm, enticing the masses? Like any new phenomenon, the personality of Sergei Aksenov is subject to close study.
Aksyonov appeared in Crimea at the end of the 1980s under the already collapsing but still strong Soviet Union. The birthplace of the future head of the republic was the same warm and fertile region as the Crimea - Moldova, and more precisely - the city of Balti. His father gained fame there as the permanent leader of the Russian community and the genes of patriotism, love for mother Russia, were probably passed on to his son from his father.
The change of residence to Simferopol was explained by the desire of the young man to become a military man. True, he chose a military specialty not in the spirit of that turbulent time. Perestroika was noisy in the country with its criticism of the formerly omnipotent party and, especially, its rigid ideological backbone. Nevertheless, he still wanted to serve as a political instructor, and among the construction battalions - the characters of numerous jokes. In the future, instilled within the walls of a military school, the skills of communicating with the masses will be useful to him at the most decisive moment of his life, but construction, as an activity, will remain aloof from his interests.
The first really hard-to-explain fact of Aksenov's biography was the end of a military school in 1993 without the presentation of a diploma required in such cases. By that time, the Union had already collapsed. Thanks to the Belovezhskaya collusion, Crimea became an integral part of independent Ukraine, Moldova separated from Transnistria, and service in any post-Soviet army was rapidly losing prestige. Political officers serving in the armed forces of Ukraine bashfully renamed themselves educators in order to become chaplains in ten years.
Aksenov businessman
Aksenov will still receive a diploma of higher education. It will record that its owner is a master of the prestigious specialty "Finance and Credit", and the educational institution itself is named as the University of Economics and Management. By the way, in his classrooms, he again had to meet with the teachers of the military school, who en masse transferred to a civilian university. The prospects for private entrepreneurship inspired Sergei Aksenov, as well as many of his peers who wanted to work not for a faceless state, but personally for themselves, and determined the future career of a failed officer. The first entry in the work book was the position of deputy director of the Ellada cooperative, which was engaged in the trade in gifts from the Crimean fields and gardens, processed into canned food.
After 3 years, Sergey Aksenov, having gained valuable experience, moved to the same position at Asterix LLC. In general, he did not have to show himself in the lead roles in business for a long time. His next LLC "Firma Escada" secured his reputation as the eternally second, and perhaps "shadow" head. Currently, a well-known politician owns a glass factory, a construction company, a newspaper and an information portal, a real estate agency, and even a drinking establishment - a bar with the meaningful name "". That was the name of the American prison in which the famous gangster of the Prohibition era was serving his term.
In 2008, Aksyonov decided to diversify his daily labor concerns with social activities. Following in the footsteps of his father, he became a member of the Russian Community of Crimea, and in 2010 he finally came under the rays of fame, taking the post of leader of the Russian Unity movement. The further biography of Sergei Aksenov is well known to everyone. In the spring of 2014, he was appointed Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and just a few months later, he finally became a symbol of the Crimean reconquista for Russians.
organized criminal group of Crimea
At the time of the beginning of his opposition to the Kiev authorities, in the heat of local political battles, the deputy of the Supreme Council of the republic, Mikhail Bakharev, disseminated information discrediting the image of a patriot. It was the operational reports of the Office for Combating Organized Crime, in which Aksenov was ranked as a criminal group "". Such a strange name meant a brand of menthol cigarettes popular with the then majors.
From the documents it was possible to learn that the person involved in the police development bore the nickname Goblin and was a frequenter of the most expensive bars on the resort South coast of the peninsula. The MP commented on the documents as follows. The goblin was considered a specialist in "dirty" work. He was brought into the group by the hand of his acquaintances, Greeks by nationality, with whom he worked in the Hellas cooperative.
The multinational Crimea gave rise to several organized crime groups, divided along ethnic lines. The backbone of "Salem" were Jews and Armenians. Their sworn enemies, named for leader Viktor Bashmachnikov, by contrast, were mostly Russians and Ukrainians and were considered the largest group. Its number sometimes exceeded a thousand people.
The future main Crimean patriot chose someone else's campaign, but there is a simple explanation for this. "Salem", certainly inferior in number, possessed among all the Crimean criminal communities the largest capital and connections in power. The mentality of enterprising Jews and Gypsies had no competition with the "shoes", who grew out of ordinary market thimblers and preferred primitive schemes of criminal earnings. In inter-clan squabbles, Salem always found support from the organized criminal group "Greeks". Crimean Tatars in conflict situations usually preferred "shoes", but Sergei Aksenov managed to prove himself a good diplomat, having agreed with a group of indigenous people of the peninsula on the purchase of a batch of weapons.
Disassembly of groups
Aksyonov could observe the enormous possibilities of the political lobby in 1997, when Salem decided to acquire its own “manual” party - the Party of Economic Revival of Crimea, which was headed by active members of the organized criminal group Shevyov, Danilyan and Voronkov. In those years, Aksenov's authority was too small to make himself known on the political stage. He had to solve completely different problems. In 1996, the first attempt was made on him, the second happened 5 years later. Reports of these incidents are also present in the police reports.
The main leaders of Salem were less fortunate than the future head of the republic. Oleg Slatvinsky, nicknamed Giraffe, died at the hands of a killer in Warsaw in 1992, and, aka Gide, disappeared under mysterious circumstances in Simferopol in 1995. OCG "Salem" also did not particularly consider other people's lives. Behind them are about fifty corpses.
Aksenov acquired special value for the organized crime group by heading the Russian Unity. Strong sports guys, under the auspices of the self-defense organization, were able to support the Simferopol bus station and the Iskra sanatorium in Evpatoria with their muscles, but the force element in the actions was not enough in the fight for another sanatorium - the Mountain Sun.
Complaint for the protection of honor and dignity
In unison with Mikhail Bakharev, former President of Crimea Yuri Meshkov described Aksenov of that time as a person leading a dubious lifestyle and in contact with persons who do not inspire confidence. Sergey Aksyonov could not endure such insults. He filed a lawsuit against Mikhail Bakharev for the protection of honor and dignity, principally denoting its amount at 1 hryvnia.
The first court instance confirmed the correctness of the offended party, but the Court of Appeal decided everything differently, not accepting the arguments of the plaintiff. The question of the reverse side of the image of Aksenov-Goblin still remains open.
Revolutionary
The entry into the ranks of the most famous Russian politicians was also prepared in advance. The new field was plowed by them gradually. Several times Aksyonov offered his services to candidates for the presidency of Ukraine in running an election campaign in Crimea, trying on methods of manipulating the crowd. In many respects, his leading role in the “Crimean” revolution and the support of Moscow is explained by the fact that the ranks of Russian Unity included quite a few supporters of Aksenov, who proved their determination and proved their deeds in battles on the criminal front.
The instantaneously conducted joint operation of disguised Russian military and civilians from among the indigenous inhabitants of Crimea could not be amateur performance, but required careful preparation and certain skills from its participants. A well-thought-out military operation was backed up by a quick vote in the local parliament, which many in Crimea consider to be a rather crude fraud, but aimed at a good cause. A century has passed, but revolutions are still not made with white gloves. About Kamo, Kobe, Bauman, Krasin, grateful descendants composed verses, erected monuments to them and named the streets of cities, only trying not to notice their odious fellow travelers in the person of the “green brothers” of the bandit Lbov. Sergei Aksyonov is not the first and probably not the last character in the company of two-faced revolutionaries.

Konstantinov, in particular, "67 vehicles, almost 70 residential and non-residential premises and other property located, including on the territory of the mainland Ukraine".

The situation in Crimea
Recently, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, has been criticized, the news reports on corruption in Crimea. Crimeans complain that prices are rising, that speculation is rampant. In 2016, according to S. Aksenov, in some areas, the cost of food in the region exceeded the prices of the Krasnodar Territory, sometimes up to 40%.
Sergei Valeryevich stated that the government would take the necessary measures and deal with speculators, but so far the situation remains difficult. However, many Crimeans, encouraged by the annexation of Crimea to Russia, support Aksyonov and hope that the economic situation will improve.
“Even in the best of times under Ukraine, the Crimean budget in terms of rubles amounted to a little more than 22 billion rubles. That is, in just three years, despite all the blockades and sanctions, despite the difficult transition period, Crimea reached budget revenues that are almost twice as high as the Ukrainian period, even without federal assistance,” said the head of the republic, Sergei Aksyonov. summing up the results of 2016. According to the head of the Crimea, the income of the republican budget in 2016 amounted to 40.6 billion rubles.
“Over the past 3 years, Kyiv has tried to harm the Crimeans with all available methods. The dependence on Ukrainian infrastructure left from Soviet times was used, the peninsula was almost 80% dependent on electricity and even more on the Dnieper water. Kiev strategists with Western curators expected that this would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, these were acts of state terrorism against the Crimeans, in fact, they can be qualified as genocide attempts. This is a manifestation of totalitarian thinking. Unfortunately, the West has become a collective world dictator who is trying to execute entire nations. But this number will not work with Russia. They tried to turn the peninsula into a Ukrainian backwater, now it should become a showcase for Russia, this is our strategic goal, ”Sergey Aksenov said in the summer of 2017 during the Open Crimea: With Your Own Eyes media forum.

But it was impossible to bring the situation to the point that a group of troublemakers made the February Revolution. A group of troublemakers set the tsar in a negative mood, ”Sergey Aksenov said, and the news actively quoted his mistake.

09/20/2019 Sergei Aksyonov was re-elected head of the Republic of Crimea
Deputies of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea of the II convocation on September 20, 2019 unanimously elected Sergey Aksenov as the head of the region for a new five-year term. Aksenov's candidacy was supported by all 74 deputies. According to the Constitution of the region, the head of Crimea is the highest official and head of the executive branch. He is elected for a period of five years, but not more than twice, and determines the main directions of the region's development.
Sergei Aksenov was born on November 26, 1972 in Balti, Moldova. After school, in 1993, the young man graduated from the Simferopol Higher Military-Political Construction School. Later, he graduated with honors from the University of Economics and Management, first obtaining a bachelor's degree in business economics, and then a master's degree in finance and credit.
From June 1993 to August 1998, Sergei Valerievich served as deputy director of the Ellada cooperative. After that, for three years he was the deputy director of the limited liability company "Asterix". From April 2001, for thirteen years, he served as deputy director of Escada Firm LLC.
Aksenov's political career started in 2008, when he began to actively engage in social and political activities. It was during this period that he joined the "Russian Community of Crimea", becoming in 2009 co-chairman of the Coordinating Council "For Russian Unity in Crimea!". At the same time, he became a member of the board of the Civil Activist of Crimea.
The activity of Sergei Valerievich in the political arena allowed him to become the leader of the All-Crimean socio-political movement "Russian Unity" in a few years. In 2010, Aksenov was elected to the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Thanks to his ideological views, which prioritize the national interests of Russia, the self-sufficient economy of Russia, support for domestic producers, differentiation of the taxation system, which provides for the abolition of taxes for the poor, Sergey Aksyonov won recognition among colleagues and among the population of the peninsula. This allowed him to unexpectedly rise to the political podium and become chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea.
At the time of the coup d'etat in Ukraine on February 27, 2014, the building of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was seized by unknown people who, having expelled the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, immediately changed the Ukrainian flag to the Russian one. On the same day, at an extraordinary meeting, Aksyonov was appointed Prime Minister of the new government of the Republic of Crimea, but still part of Ukraine.
A few days later, Acting President of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov signed a decree on the illegality of holding elections for the chairman of the Supreme Council of Crimea, noting that they violate the Constitution of the Autonomous Republic, the Constitution and legislation of Ukraine. A criminal case was initiated against Aksyonov in Ukraine under Article 109 of the Criminal Code, which provides for punishment for the forcible seizure of state power. At the court session, a decision was made to detain Sergei Valeryevich.
However, Sergei Valerievich was not idle at that time. Two days after taking office as Prime Minister of the new government of the Republic of Crimea, by his decree, he subordinated all power and departmental structures of Crimea to himself and turned to Russian President Vladimir Putin for help and assistance in ensuring peace and tranquility on the peninsula.
The thorny path to the top of power in Crimea for Aksenov turned out to be full of all sorts of pitfalls and conflict situations, but the politician withstood all the tests on his way and became one of the key organizers of the referendum in Crimea, in which on March 16, 2014, the population of the peninsula almost unanimously voted for the exit The Republic of Crimea from Ukraine and its entry into Russia.
After the official announcement of the results of the Crimean referendum against Sergei Aksyonov and a number of other politicians who, according to Ukrainian and European diplomats, are involved in the current events in Crimea, US and European Union sanctions were imposed.
Despite the non-recognition of the referendum in Crimea by the West and Kyiv, on March 18, 2014, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Crimea Aksyonov, with the chairmen of the coordinating council for the organization of the Sevastopol City Administration and the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, Alexei Chaly and Vladimir Konstantinov, signed an Agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin on joining Crimea to the Russian Federation. As a result, two new subjects were added in the Russian Federation: the federal city of Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea.
In September 2014, the President of Russia proposed to the State Council of the Crimean Republic Aksenov's candidacy for the post of head of the Republic of Crimea. During the voting on October 9, 2014, Sergei Valeryevich was unanimously elected to this position, and concurrently he also retained the post of Prime Minister of the Republic.
Sergei Aksyonov is a vivid example of an ordinary deputy who, thanks to his activity in the political field, reached unexpected heights in his career and became the head of the Republic of Crimea after the peninsula became part of Russia.
For the outstanding organization of the Crimean referendum and the reunification of the peninsula with Russia in 2014, Aksyonov was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, and in 2015 he was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Crimea. The vast majority of the population of the Republic sees in the new Crimean head a serious, charismatic and self-confident leader who can make Crimea a real home for the population and restore the economy and national economy on the territory of the Republic.
At the end of 2016, the head of Crimea launched an anti-corruption campaign, and already in February 2017, the first arrests began in connection with an audit by the Anti-Corruption Committee. Deputy Chairman of the Crimean Government Oleg Kazurin was the first to be detained, but the head of Crimea is sure that this is not the last arrest, and clarified that the committee "remained questions" to many officials and to the Capital Construction Service of the Republic of Crimea.
In March 2017, Sergei Aksenov became a guest of Sergei Mikheev's Serious Conversation program, which was broadcast on the First Krymsky channel. The head of Crimea clarified that in modern realities, democracy in the state should be moderate, while Russian President Vladimir Putin should have lifetime powers. In the same year he became a member of the Supreme Council of the United Russia political party.
In 2018, the construction of the Crimean bridge was completed in the Kerch Strait. Sergei Aksyonov commented on this event as evidence of the failed sanctions policy of the West in relation to the peninsula. The head of the republic called the bridge a symbol of the unity of Crimea and Russia.
Vladimir Putin August 12, 2019 held a working meeting with the Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov. The head of the region informed the President about the socio-economic situation in Crimea, noting the positive changes in agriculture. Another important direction was the reform of the municipal waste management system.
Deputies of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea II convocation September 20, 2019 By unanimous decision, Sergei Aksenov was elected head of the region for a new five-year term. Aksenov's candidacy was supported by all 74 deputies.
