The future politician was born on September 7, 1958 in the capital of Adjara - the city of Batumi. About his father - Don Cossack Zatulin Fedor Ivanovich - responded as a prototype Lanovoy in the legendary film "Officers".

In the twenties, Fyodor Ivanovich began his service as a simple Red Army soldier, and graduated from the Colonel of the Border Guards of the State Security Committee as the chief of staff of the Turkestan border guard. The general term of his service was 35 years. After retirement, he headed the Sochi City Beach Administration. He died in 1981.

About mother - Zatulina Vera Ivanovna (nee Fedorova) - it is known that her parents were Rostov rich burghers, who had a shoe shop. Before her death in 1978, she had been paralyzed for about ten years, since she had a stroke before.

Constantine in the family was born the latest, third child. After graduation (in 1975), he tried to enter one of the MGIMO faculties, but he could not, and got a job in Sochygorbytprokat as a decorator.

The following year, he submitted documents for the full-time department of the historical faculty of the Moscow State University, he could not enter because of a shortage of points, so Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich began to study in absentia.

Study period at Moscow State University

In September 1977, Zatulina was transferred to the full-time department at the Department of History of the CPSU of the Faculty of History. This was done on the basis of an official petition, signed by Deputy Yu. V. Andropov - Chairman of the Committee of the State Security of the USSR.

During his studies, he served as secretary for ideology in the faculty committee of the Komsomol.

Zatulin immediately joined the operational Komsomol detachment, while showing considerable activity. As a result, he was entrusted with the post of commissioner in the faculty detachment, in 1986 he was already commander of the detachment of the whole university.

Since 1981, Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich became a graduate student of the Moscow State University, after which he received a red diploma. Thesis was written on the topic of party leadership in industry in the 1965-1980s under the academic leadership of Vladimir Ilyich Tetyushev.

As Zatulin noted in one of the pre-election leaflets in 1990, he did not manage to defend his thesis at first, because he gave a sharp assessment of the situation in the industrial sphere of the state, which required a reorganization of the administration. He did it only in 1987.

Active Activities

From 1984 to 1991, Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich was in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Due to the fact that he was an active participant of the operational detachment, despite the failure to defend the thesis, he managed to save a place in the hostel of graduate students, which occupied part of the main building of the Moscow State University in the Lenin Hills. He was a master repairman for the elevators of the Economic Operation Administration of the University, although in fact he was in charge of the operative.

In 1987, he was taken to the Central Committee of the Komsomol as an assistant to the Secretary of the Central Committee and political observer Joseph Ordzhonikidze. He worked there until 1990. The Komsomol helped Zatulin with a permanent residence permit and an apartment in the capital.

In 1988, the Soviet Association of Young Historians was established with Sergei Stankevich and Yevgeny Kozhokin. The curator of this process from the Komsomol was Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich. His contacts at that time were quite extensive, in particular he created the so-called Komsomol economy - centers for scientific and technical youth creativity.

12.12.1987, although Zatulin resigned from the operative, he headed the dispersal of the protesting student activists of the university, who supported Yeltsin, who was removed from office as the first secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party.

End of adjustment period

In early 1989, on the basis of youth creativity centers, the Association was created, which included young leaders of industrial enterprises. The post of executive director of the Association was taken by Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich, whose photo became often seen in the mass media.

The role of the honorary president of this structure went to Gabriel Popov, and one of the leaders was to Mikhail Bocharov. By 1990, it became the All-Union Association of Directors of Enterprises, and by the end of 1991 it had become the International Association of Enterprise Managers with Mark Masarsky as President. The post of its general director was taken by Zatulin Konstantin Fedorovich, whose biography increasingly moved from the economic to the political plane.

He provided active assistance to the leadership of the Moscow Association of Voters. On the eve of major demonstrations organized by democratic forces, he helped to multiply leaflets.

Zatulin was a participant in the conference in 1990, during which he created a candidate bloc, called "Democratic Russia."

"Moscow Komsomol member" in early 1990, was highlighted the activities of the operative Komsomol detachment of Moscow State University, including mentioned reports from members of the detachment against his leader, which revealed the political unreliability of some students.

Zatulin published the answer that the appearance of such reports was a personal initiative of individual "figures", from which he got rid of, removing them from the ranks of the detachment.

The first unsuccessful attempts to participate in election campaigns

In early April 1990, Zatulin attempted to put forward his candidacy for elections in the Soviet district (county number 391) to the Moscow City Council.

As trustees, he chose Gabriel Popov and Sergei Stankevich, agitated for him by Nikolai Travkin and the regional Society of Disabled People, whom he had previously helped finance.

Initially, Zatulin acted as the only democratic candidate for the district, but later Memorial intervened, and Sergei Vasiliev was added to it. Nevertheless, in each mail box throughout the electoral district, a leaflet containing information about Zatulin being the only democratic candidate was enclosed.

Many leaflets were also posted on the streets, their number was a record for this election campaign. For the candidature of Zatulin was given most votes, but since in general around the county less than 50 percent of the population came to the polls, the election results were not recognized.

On repeated autumn elections in the same year, Zatulin moved forward in the above constituency. A similar option was not allowed at that time, but in this case an exception was made.

The electorate again showed passivity, the election results were not recognized again.
