Mother first worked as an economist, and then as an accountant. Sergei was the youngest in the family. Sobyanin has two sisters - Lyudmila and Natalya. The childhood of the future mayor of Moscow was not particularly remarkable. The boy studied very diligently and successfully graduated from the Berezovskaya secondaryschool.

Nationality

According to official data, Sobyanin's ancestors are the Ural Cossacks. Once, Sergei's great-grandfather moved from the Urals to the village of Nyaksimvol. According to other information, Sobyanin is considered a representative of the Mansi people. He is mentioned as such in all their encyclopedias. These data were refuted by Sergei Semenovich Sobyanin himself, when on the eve of the 2001 elections he declared in his autobiography about his Russian origin.

Education and first job

In 1975, the future mayor of the capital moved to his sister in Kostroma and entered the Institute of Technology in the department of mechanical engineering. He graduated with honors in 1980 and immediately got a job as an engineer at the Kostroma plant. Then Sergei Semenovich moved to Chelyabinsk and became an assistant locksmith. Over time, he led a team of turners. The future mayor of the capital took an active part in public works and joined the Komsomol organization.

Going into politics

In 1982, Sobyanin Sergei Semenovich went to work in one of the district committees of Chelyabinsk. Two years later, the leadership sent him to the village of Kogalym (Tyumen region).

In 1991 he headed the administration of Kogalym. As mayor, Sobyanin set up the work of housing and communal services, transport and city services.

Speaker position

In 1993, Filipenko (head of the Khanty-Mansiyskdistrict) appointed Sergei Semyonovich as his deputy. A year later, Sobyanin became chairman of the district Duma. At that time, they talked a lot about the fact that Roman Abramovich himself supported his candidacy. In 1994, Sergei Semyonovich also headed the Association of National Districts. These positions allowed him to defend the right of the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansiysk districts to secede from the Tyumen region. As a result, Sobyanin got his way. Both districts have become full-fledged subjects of the Russian Federation. But financially and administratively, they continued to depend on the region. In 1995, on the initiative of Sobyanin, the gubernatorial elections in Tyumen were boycotted.

In early 1996, Sergei Semyonovich, as the speaker of the Duma, became a member of the Russian Parliament.

In January 2001, already in the firstround Sergei Semenovich scored 52% of the vote. His main rival Leonid Roketsky received only 29%. Many observers believe that Sobyanin received the post only thanks to the support of Neelov and Filippenko, the head of the two autonomous regions. The reason for this was the statement by V. V. Putin in 2000 about the inclusion of districts in the Tyumen region. Neyelov and Filippenko wanted a person close to them to head the region.
