The biography of Alexei Dyumin is an excellent example of climbing the career ladder for other Russian civil servants. It seems that only white stripes are present in it. This is precisely what makes the biography of a famous Russian politician, military leader and civil servant interesting. What is the biography of Alexei Dyumin?
Childhood
Dyumin Alexey Gennadievich was born in August 1972 in the administrative center of the Kursk region. His father, Gennady Vasilyevich, is a military doctor who currently holds the rank of general. Mother is a teacher by profession. In addition to Alexei, the family had another child - Artyom.
As a child, Alexey Dyumin, due to the peculiarities of his father's military profession, was forced to live in various cities of the RSFSR: in Kursk, Kaluga, Voronezh. At the same time, housing and living conditions were far from always acceptable. So, in Kaluga, the family had to live for some time in the basement of a military hospital.
After moving to Voronezh, life got a little better. It was in this city that Alexei Dyumin began to actively engage in hockey from the fourth grade. Familyapprovingly accepted this passion of his, especially since he showed good promise in this sport. At the end of school, Dyumin even received an offer to play for the Buran team from Voronezh, but he, like his father, chose the military path. However, as we will see later, he still did not completely break with hockey. The biography of Alexei Dyumin has remained closely associated with this sport.
Service
After graduating from the Voronezh school, Alexei entered the local higher military school (VVIUER), where he successfully completed his studies in 1994.
After graduation, Alexey Dyumin was sent to military service in the Moscow District. Here his task was the technical support of counterintelligence.
These were the initial steps of Alexei Dyumin in the service of the Russian Federation, but he managed to accomplish much more later, which will be discussed further.
Work in the FSO
In 1995, thanks to his father's connections, he went to work for the Federal Security Service, one of the country's most secret special services. From that moment on, the biography of Alexei Dyumin is firmly connected with work with high-ranking statesmen, one of whom he himself became in the future.
At first, Aleksey Gennadyevich worked in the presidential communications department of the State Defense Department, but since 1999, as an officer, he moved to work in the Presidential Security Service. It was a very responsible position, since his duties included ensuring the protection of the first person of the country. But Dyumin coped with all the tasks set perfectly.
SuccessA promising officer was noticed, and in 2007 he became the head of security for Viktor Zubkov, who at that time was the Prime Minister of Russia. However, shortly after the end of his presidential term, Vladimir Putin took over as head of government. Under him, Dyumin became an adjutant, and then the head of personal security. In 2009, Alesei Gennadievich accompanied Vladimir Vladimirovich during his visit to the Seliger forum, which took place on the territory of the Tver region.
In the same year, Dyumin defended his Ph. D. thesis at the Academy of Civil Service, the topic of which was devoted to the functioning of the G8. Undoubtedly, it was another brick that laid the foundation for his future career as a civil servant and politician.
In 2012, Alexei Dyumin was waiting for a new promotion. He received the post of deputy head of the presidential security service. Already in this post, Dyumin accompanied the head of state during his trip to Kyrgyzstan.
Work in the GRU
In 2014, Alexey Dyumin was transferred to work in the Main Intelligence Directorate. He became the deputy head of this organization and the commander of the Special Operations Forces. He worked there for a short period of time, but the tasks that faced Dyumin were of paramount importance.
He took an active part in the operation to annex Crimea to Russia. In addition, according to a number of journalists, it was Dyumin who developed and led the operation to evacuate President Yanukovych from the territory of Ukraine. Although heAlexey Gennadyevich does not recognize the last fact.
Work in the Ministry of Defense
In 2015, General Alexei Gennadyevich Dyumin moved to work in the Ministry of Defense. He was appointed chief of staff, and at the same time first deputy commander in chief of the Ground Forces. At the end of the same year, he changed the rank of Major General to the rank of Lieutenant General.
Before the New Year 2016 Alexey Dyumin was appointed Deputy Defense Minister. This position gave him the right to join the Collegium of the Moscow Region.
Appointment as governor
But Aleksey Gennadyevich worked as Deputy Minister of Defense for only a little over one month. Already in early February 2016, the President of Russia appointed him acting governor of Tula. Alexey Dyumin admitted to the press that it was a surprise even for him.
The prehistory of this appointment was that the former governor of the Tula region Vladimir Gruzdev resigned ahead of schedule. When appointing a new head of this subject of the federation, Vladimir Putin's choice fell on a former security officer. True, under the new legislation, the governor is elected by the population of the region by direct voting, which was scheduled throughout Russia for September 18, 2016. Therefore, Alexei Gennadievich took up this position with the prefix acting.
However, the acting head of the region coped with the tasks set very successfully. This allowed him to declare in the summer of 2016 his desire to run for governorTula region. These elections took place in September of the same year. As their result showed, the population of the region expressed full confidence in Alexei Dyumin. During the elections for the post of Tula governor, he won almost 85% of the total number of votes. Now Alexey Dyumin is the governor of the Tula region at 100%. Time will show how Aleksey Gennadyevich will justify the hopes of voters.
Putin's successor
Quite a quick rise was the reason for talk in the press that Alexei Dyumin is Putin's successor. A significant role in these rumors was also played by the fact that at the moment Dyumin is one of the most trusted people of Vladimir Vladimirovich. In addition, it can be said that the former presidential security officer has outstanding personal qualities, as evidenced by his active participation in the development of operations to annex Crimea and evacuate Yanukovych. Another of his trump cards is youth.
The press noted the rise of Dyumin in a fairly short time from the position of security guard for high-ranking officials to deputy defense minister, and head of the most important special operations for the country. The only thing that Dyumin lacked was the experience of civilian leadership. But after he became the governor of the Tula region, this experience appeared, and over time it will increase even more. Therefore, one should not exclude the possibility that in the next presidential election in 2018, Vladimir Putin may refuse to participate in the struggle for the post of head of state, supporting Alexei Dyumin.
This version also made it to the pages of the foreign press, in particular,was featured in the British newspaper The Daily Mail.

In addition, Alexey Dyumin is the holder of the highest title in the country - the Hero of Russia. To date, only 1037 people have been awarded this title, since 1992, when it was established. There is no official data on when and for what Aleksei Gennadievich received this award, but there are rumors that he got it for the flawless conduct of operations to annex Crimea and save Yanukovych.
Of course, all these distinctions and awards serve as a vivid reflection of the contribution that Alexey Dyumin made to the construction and strengthening of the Russian Federation for the benefit of its people. And although not all of his achievements are known to the general public by now, nevertheless, each of them will sooner or later be judged on their merits.

He himself speaks about family life extremely reluctantly, which, of course, is an imprint left by years of work in the special services. It is also quite possible that this is a manifestation of unwillingness to involve the family in public life. After all, not every politician is ready to expose loved ones to additional danger by making thempublic figures.

At this time, Gennady Dyumin became close to Defense Minister Pavel Grachev. To a large extent, it was Gennady Vasilievich who contributed to the transfer of his son to work in the FSO, but further promotions are already the personal merits of Alexei Dyumin.
