From 2015 toIn 2018, the successful agrarian was the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. But where does Aleksandr Nikolayevich Tkachev work now?

Adult life
How did the biography of Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev develop further? After leaving school, Alexander enters the Krasnodar Polytechnic Institute. Successfully graduated from this institution in 1983, while receiving a diploma in the speci alty "mechanical engineer".
The education of Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev does not end there. In 2000, he entered the graduate school of the Kuban Agricultural University, and four years later he became a doctor of economic sciences, while defending a dissertation, the topic of which was"Diversification and cooperation at the enterprise of the agro-industrial complex".
Literally right after graduating from high school (having received his first education), Alexander goes to work for his father at the plant, while starting from the bottom, in particular from the position of a heat engineer. However, he is rapidly climbing to the top of his career. Tkachev Alexander Nikolaevich in 1990 becomes the director of this plant, which belongs to the Vyselkovsky district. During his career, he is a member of the CPSU, and from 1986 to 1988 he was the secretary of the local Komsomol district committee.
In the early nineties, privatization was carried out, and the given plant became known as "Agrocomplex", while becoming the largest enterprise in the region after merging with some industrial Vyselkovo complexes.
Governor
Tkachev's political biography begins in 1994. It was at this time that Tkachev Alexander Nikolayevich occupied a new position - a deputy of the legislative assembly. After another year, this politician enters the deputy ranks of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. After that, the future Minister of Agriculture, Alexander Nikolayevich Tkachev, became a member of the agro-industrial group in 2000 and headed the commission, as well as the committee on affairs of different nationalities.
At the end of the same year, Tkachev won the gubernatorial elections in the Krasnodar Territory, while receiving the support of the people in 82.4%. He heads this region for the next 4 years. It is difficult to overestimate all the achievementsAlexander Nikolaevich as governor of the Krasnodar Territory. This politician literally managed to revive the region, increasing the budget of Kuban almost 5 times and winning steady support from the population. After all, it was Alexander Nikolayevich who opposed the sale of peasant land.
However, Alexander's gubernatorial activity also had rather dark streaks. For example, in 2005, Tkachev initiated a global restructuring of Krasnodar, which provoked great discontent among the local residents of the city. But thanks to the diplomatic nature of Alexander Nikolayevich Tkachev, he managed to resolve the differences that had arisen with the population, as well as to implement his own ideas in full.
The President of the Russian Federation in 2007, Alexander is again appointed to the post of Governor of the Krasnodar Territory for the next five years. During this period, the politician managed to attract a large number of foreign investors to the development of the region: Swiss factories producing Nestle instant coffee were built in the Kuban, and a plant of German agricultural machinery Claas was also built. These companies provided the population of Kuban with a large number of jobs, and also replenished the region's budget by a significant amount.
Success
Thanks to such professional activities, Alexander Kuban began to be called the breadbasket of Russia, as this region received the status of a leader in the amount of harvested sugar beet, grain, as well as in the production of seeds and wines.
In 2012, Dmitry Medvedev, who then headed the post of President of the Russian Federation, again extends the powers of Governor Alexander Tkachev for another 5 years.
Sochi Olympics
In addition to the achievements described above, Alexander Tkachev also made an incredible contribution to the preparation and organization of the Winter Olympic Games, which were held in Sochi. This was the triumph of the politician for all the years of his administration of the region. Tkachev was even given the Order "For Services to the Fatherland" 2nd class. This international event brought the politician the approval of the Government of the Russian Federation and the dislike of his electorate. The fact is that the construction of various Olympic facilities caused a number of problems with Russian Railways, as well as with employees. Residents of the city of Sochi felt the ill-conceivedness of tactical decisions on this issue.
In 2014, Alexander takes the initiative to cancel the mayoral elections, which led to protests. A series of several single pickets took place in the city of Krasnodar. Larger protests took place in Yaroslavl, where Governor Sergei Yastrebov presented a similar bill. This rally consisted of 1,000 people, and representatives of the party participated in the protest masses: Communists of Russia, Yabloko, RPR-Parnassus, as well as the Solidarity movement.
In 2015, in March, Alexander voluntarily resigns, and Veniamin Kondratiev becomes his successor. In the elections on September 13, 2015, he gainsover 83% of votes.
Post Minister of Agriculture
A big surprise for everyone was the appointment of Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev to the post of Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. In rather difficult times, the President of the country decides to appoint an experienced agrarian to this position, who must carry out the reform of import substitution in the Russian Federation, as well as ensure the state's food security.
Alexander thanked the president for his trust, while promising to feed the entire country with domestic products, pushing imports out of the Russian market, increasing production, and achieving a reduction in the cost of food. In addition, Alexander Tkachev promised to develop the agricultural business in the state to the highest level.
Another high-profile initiative of Tkachev, who served as Minister of Agriculture, was a proposal to destroy the sanctions products that were imported illegally. Putin supported this proposal, signed the relevant Decree, according to which, from August 6, 2015, the sanctioned goods were completely liquidated on the territory of Russia.
And now you should get acquainted with the personal life and family of Tkachev Alexander Nikolaevich.
Private life
Like most significant state officials and politicians, Tkachev's personal life remains in the shadows. However, it is known that the former governor of Kuban is married to Olga Storozhenko, and is also raising two children, who are now adults.
Rosselkhozbank
In 2017, the Russian Agricultural Bank launches a mechanism for concessional lending to the agro-industrial complex, the rate of which is no more than 5% per annum. Alexander emphasizes that the Ministry of Agriculture fully agreed with this bank all issues regarding lending in less than 2 months. By the spring of the same year, the bank provided loans to hundreds of agricultural producers. In March, Rosselkhozbank sends 25 billion rubles to various enterprises from 44 regions of the Russian Federation. The Minister of Agriculture hoped that this funding would help to carry out the sowing campaign on time, as well as ensure a high harvest at the end of the year.
Conflict with Belarus
Tkachev continues to fight and promote import substitution. Alexander accused Belarus of the fact that the state has become a transshipment base for a large number of imported products that fall under Russian sanctions. The share of allegedly Belarusian products in 2012 in the Russian market among imported goods was about 1%, and in 2017 it increased to 15%. As a result, temporary checkpoints were organized, where they were able to identify the schemes of all illegal supplies: re-export, false transit, pacification of certificates.
Against the backdrop of this conflict with Belarus over food, the minister urges farmers to take on the dairy problem, as well as to oust all dairy products that come here from Belarus from the domestic market. Alexander solved the problem of dairy production from the very moment he was appointed to the post of ministerAgriculture. In this area, there have been minor improvements, but in general the situation has not changed.
Conflict with Volodin
In the spring of 2017, news appeared in the media about Alexander's conflict with one of the chairmen of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin. Tkachev said that he heard something interesting and useful from the Duma deputies and wants to convey it to the authorities. Volodin replied that the deputies were representatives of the authorities, which in this case considered the people. All colleagues began to applaud the chairman.
Resignation of Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev from the post of Minister
In 2018, the presidential elections of the Russian Federation were held, where Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin again won. When he took office, the post of prime minister was handed over to Dmitry Medvedev. The new composition of the Government of the Russian Federation was announced on May 18 to journalists. On the same day, they said that Tkachev Alexander Nikolaevich was resigning from the post of minister. Dmitry Patrushev became his successor.
Condition
The special distinction of the Tkachev family lies in their openness and honesty regarding all published income. In 2009, the governor became the only Kuban official who fully disclosed and declared all income, which then amounted to 1.6 million rubles. Tkachev's wife earned twice as much in the same year, since she owns the authorized capital of one of the largest Russian companies.
In 2014, Tkachev's incomeincreases, by this time he earned 2.2 million rubles. His wife's income also doubles, amounting to 5.2 million rubles.
In 2015, Tkachev increases his income by 25 times, while declaring 50.5 million rubles.
Conclusion
