Odintsova Lyudmila Ivanovna (in the marriage of Shvetsova) was born in Alma-Ata in September 1949. Fate endowed this person with strong personal qualities, clear mind and great managerial abilities of the highest level, which contributed to the quick and accurate formation of a career. Lyudmila Shvetsova became a prominent Soviet and Russian politician and statesman.

Merit

Before becoming deputy chairman of the State Duma of the sixth convocation, Lyudmila Shvetsova went a long and successful path. The first of the most significant positions was the chairman of the Central Council of the All-Union Lenin Pioneer Organization under the Central Committee of the Komsomol, from 1983 to 1986. Awards and titles did not keep you waiting and as a result of work as deputy mayor under the Moscow government from 2000 to 2011. She was the president of the Znanie society, candidate of political science, professor, department head of gender studies at the Russian State University for the Humanities (Theory of Women's Equality and Leadership).

Being the secretary of the Central Committee of the Komsomol, Lyudmila Shvetsova worked not only with youth and children's organizations, but she was the curator of VSSO (All-Union student construction teams), and subsequently the movement of the MJC. She also took an active part in the preparation and organization of the 1980 Olympics and the 1985 World Youth Festival, for which she was awarded the Badge of Honor and the Red Banner of Labor.

A family

In order to build such a wide and significant road in life, a person needs appropriate upbringing. Lyudmila Shvetsova received it to the fullest extent, since she was born in the family of a military, valiant participant of the Great Patriotic War Ivan Vasilyevich Odintsov, awarded many orders and medals, which accompanied all the successes of his daughter until 2002, that is, almost all his life. Lyudmila's mother, Vera Grigoryevna, was an English teacher and left this world early - in 1972, when her daughter was still a student.

Learning and becoming

Since his father was a military man, he had to live and study in different places. Shvetsova Lyudmila Ivanovna graduated from the school in Rostov-on-Don with a silver medal and a direction from the regional committee of the CPSU to MGIMO and the theater school, because even as a schoolgirl she very successfully conducted children's programs on television.

However, she did not use the recommendations of the regional committee, but became a designer for aircraft construction in the Antonov Design Bureau, graduating from the Kharkov Aviation Institute in 1973. Long work on the specialty did not work: in 1975 Lyudmila Shvetsova, whose biography is almost completely connected with the state activities, goes to Komsomol work in Kiev. First she is the secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol, then she was entrusted with the management of the youth department, and, finally, the work of the secretary of the Central Committee of the Young Communist League of Ukraine.

The Supreme Council

Since 1986 Shvetsova Lyudmila Ivanovna is in the secretariat of the USSR Armed Forces and the Congress of People's Deputies. Since 1989, he heads the department of awards, since 1990 is appointed the head of the apparatus. In 1991 he worked as chairman in the Committee of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR on Women and Family Affairs.

In 1997 he defended his thesis in the postgraduate course of the Russian State University for the Humanities on the theme of integration into the politics of women. Since 1998 he has been a member of the political movement Fatherland created by Luzhkov. Already in 2000, Lyudmila Shvetsova became the first deputy to Yu. M. Luzhkov in the social sphere. It was in these and subsequent years that the country's social policy acquired clearly pro-Western features, especially in the case of juvenile justice. After the loss of confidence in the President of Russia DA Medvedev and the resignation of Yuri Luzhkov, all members of the Moscow government had to be replaced by new ones.

In the list of candidates for the post of mayor, along with Sergei Sobyanin , Lyudmila Shvetsova from United Russia ran for election. After an unconditional victory, he did not replace Lyudmila Shvetsova as deputy mayor for the social bloc. By the way, it was almost the only one of all State Duma deputies who did not vote in 2012 for the "Dima Yakovleva law", when numerous abuses were proven when Russian children were adopted by foreign citizens, including open business on children's fates.

The State Duma

In the fall of 2011, the Moscow branch of the "United Russia" Lyudmila Shvetsova was included in the party list of elections, and in December she was elected a deputy of the sixth convocation of the State Duma.

On October 29, 2014, Lyudmila Shvetsova died in Moscow. The cause of death is cancer. She was sixty-five years old.

Personal life

In the personal life of a prominent state and political figure, the constant loss of native people was pursued. A forty-five-year-old died of her age - her husband Anatoly Andreyevich Shvetsov. He died in 1994. Ten years later, in 2004, Lyudmila Shvetsova was left completely alone. Alexei Shvetsov, her son of twenty-six, foolishly and unexpectedly died in an accident, riding a moped. Since then, she has ceased to celebrate even the days of her birth. This can be understood - the maternal grief is inescapable even for such strong women as Lyudmila Shvetsova. The son, moreover, was so young ...

In material terms, Lyudmila Shvetsova, naturally, did not suffer: in 2009, according to the income declaration, she earned only 7 430 000 rubles, and in 2011 - more, 11 500 000. She had a nice house with accompanying outbuildings, good Apartment, two plots of thirty-five acres and two cars.

Politician and her postulates

The formula of "a healthy body and healthy spirit in it" is correct, but it requires supplementation. Now it is fashionable to have a trained body, but few people think about training the soul, which needs music and literature. Just like the morning exercises are few people do with an enthusiastic desire, a lot of people working with papers are reluctant to devote free time to the book.

Lyudmila Shvetsova, having conducted this analogy, confessed in one of the interviews that she makes herself read - at least fifty pages per day of real literature written in beautiful Russian. For example, "Dark alleys" Bunin. If you do not teach to read good books of children, then the earth will be deprived of people, they will turn into aliens. Reading always helps the work, and Lyudmila Shvetsova has always been happy, if she could at least slightly humanize power.

About charity

Much has been said and written about how difficult it is for an unresponsive person who impoverishes himself, becoming a spiritual disabled person and not understanding the main reason for this. Healthy need patients much more than patients in healthy. Because good and warm, returning in a circle, a hundredfold increase. A lot of like-minded people, colleagues and close acquaintances gathered an evening for the memory of Lyudmila Shvetsova. Memories of her kindness were sincere and numerous.

Times are not the easiest, noted all present, but the tradition of charity can not be interrupted, because it leads this way not so much to other people as to themselves. The death of Lyudmila Shvetsova seemed to reopen the well-known truth: a man forgets about his age while he feels the need for his knowledge and experience on the part of the society in which he enjoys, despite his mature years, a well-deserved honor. But how quickly those who gave all the talent, all the strength and all the health to the prosperity of the country and their favorite business are forgotten!

About the history

Lyudmila Shevtsova believed that the history of the country should remain indivisible, that one can not choose by its own will some periods that they liked and keep silent about others. The imperial era is just as significant as the Soviet era, none of them is less or less ambiguous, each must be given truthful coverage after objective reflection. Likewise, Lyudmila Shvetsova spoke about the newest times, when commodity-money relations triumph. She was not against the development of the market in Russia, but she categorically did not want to turn the whole country into a commodity and measure it in money. The evening of the memory of Lyudmila Shvetsova almost entirely consisted of such memories.

About women in power

Our society, according to Lyudmila Shvetsova, can not get used to the fact that the leader-woman can be not only close, but also ahead of men. Little in the power of women, very little, but because every miscalculation is instantly visible. If a man makes a mistake, they may not even notice - with whom there is no such thing. But if something does not work out for a woman, the reaction is always the same: this is a woman, what to expect of her. That's why each of us is responsible not only for ourselves, but for all other women in the world.
