Biography of Vyacheslav Ivanovich Trubnikov and his opinion

To endure hardships and tribulations, not to go to their native land for a long time, to live a stranger's life-this is the call of a scout who raised the interests of the motherland and the state in the cornerstone. Who is Vyacheslav Trubnikov? Today we will talk about this.

Biography

Trubnikov Vyacheslav Ivanovich grew up in an ordinary, unremarkable family. Father - fitter, the mother - a housewife. In wartime, the family was evacuated from Moscow, and then - returned. In 1961, Vyacheslav Ivanovich brilliantly passed the final exams of the physics and mathematics school and decided on admission to MGIMO. In 1967 he defended the diploma of the referent for the countries of the East.

Since 1967, Trubnikov worked for security in the intelligence apparatus. In 1968 he completed his studies at the KGB school and three years later went on a long business trip abroad (until 1977) under a fictitious pseudonym and with a new history. In India Trubnikov Vyacheslav Ivanovich arrived as a correspondent of the agency "News". The trip contributed to a career rise. After the Central Intelligence Agency, he worked as a resident in Dhaka and Delhi. Since 1990, he became the head of various departments of the PSU, but he did not stay long in this post. A year later he became deputy director of the CSR, and then replaced the director of the foreign intelligence service and became a colonel general.

In 1996, there was a serious turn in the biography of Vyacheslav Trubnikov, he took up the post of director of the foreign intelligence service, and also became a member of the Defense and Security Council and engaged in a temporary emergency commission to strengthen tax and budget discipline. Since 1997, Trubnikov received the post of foreign policy adviser, later engaged in a representative commission on the confrontation of illegal financial and foreign exchange operations. In 1998 he received the highest military rank of army general. In 1999 he was presented to the title of the hero of Russia by a closed presidential decree.

At the same time, Vyacheslav Ivanovich supports public activities, speaking at various state events.

About the political situation

Vyacheslav Ivanovich believes that the current political situation is rooted in the past. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the political elite experienced euphoria from the warming of relations, in fact it was a temporary calm before the storm. Western countries assigned the place of Russia as the second violin, while the state elite and the country itself positioned themselves in a different way. In his interview to the TV channel "Russia 24" Trubnikov notes that our country has a rich history, we have something to be proud of, and we are by right equal partners in the relationship. The main missed opportunity of that period is the inadequate alignment of relations with the eastern countries.

About exploration

Trubnikov, Vyacheslav Ivanovich, considers reconnaissance as an art, and at the everyday level as a craft. He claims that intelligence is an instrument. For the Russian Federation, it serves as a test of relations, helps to understand with whom to build relationships, and with whom it is not necessary. In the interview, he also compared scouts and journalists, mentioning that they are looking for a source of information, but using different tools. The former head of intelligence divides the scouts into ordinary and talented people, arguing that in this case, creativity, in-depth analysis and unconventional thinking are necessary.

On the theory of mass conspiracy

Trubnikov, Vyacheslav Ivanovich, is sure that there can be no collusion between transnational corporations and other financial institutions. State intelligence of other countries does not work for the financial elite. At the same time, large corporations have their own intelligence and lobby, which does not imply collusion.

Relationship to Snowden

A former scout claims that Snowden is not an agent of Russia, but he was helped out of humane motives. He considers him an idealist who fights alone with the whole system.

About East and Partnership

Trubnikov Vyacheslav Ivanovich spent a very long time on business trips in the East and knows firsthand about his culture. He notes that these countries are excellent partners and observe the conditions exactly as we observe, although they are more difficult negotiators than Western states.

About terrorism

As the former head of intelligence, Vyacheslav Ivanovich believes that terrorism must be fought in several directions. Not only to bomb the bases, but also to eliminate the cultivation of destructive elements on the territory of the Russian Federation. He believes that a terrorist appears where a normal person does not have a job. This is the problem of many countries, and before tackling this issue, it is necessary to give the general international concept of terrorism.

Future trends

In his recent speech, Vyacheslav Trubnikov noted that the basic vector of development is geo-economics. Next comes geopolitics. As an example, he cited the situation with India's partial purchase of military equipment from the United States, noting that we can not ensure the proper quality of products in all directions. Trubnikov called on the political and financial elite of Russia to pay more attention to the quality of their products and to analyze in advance the needs of our key partners.
