Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich: biography, family, scientific activity. Russian State Social University

Soviet, and then Russian scientist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vasily Ivanovich Zhukov organized the social university of Russia in 2006 and became its first rector. All the activities of this party functionary took place in the field of social sciences and in the field of the Ministry of Education. It was here that Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich became a well-deserved figure in the science of the Russian Federation and received a prize from the government of the Russian Federation.

Start

Born in 1947 in the outskirts of the Kursk region, Zhukov loved the lessons of history from childhood. However, he treated the other subjects with full attention, which enabled him to graduate from the school with a gold medal, and Voronezh University with honors. In addition to the history, the German language was marked in the diploma, which was also allowed to teach than Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich, and since 1970 has been engaged in school No. 64 in the city of Voronezh. After a while he was already an assistant at the Polytechnic Institute.

Then followed the service in the air defense of the Soviet Army and postgraduate study in his native university, followed by teaching in the Voronezh Polytechnic. In 1985, followed by the defense of a second, doctoral dissertation on modern historiography, which allowed to become at the Department of History of the CPSU Polytechnic Institute is already a professor. Further career quickly went up. Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich was appointed in two years as the head of the Higher School School in Moscow, which in 1991, through Zhukov's efforts, was transformed into the RSSU, where he was expected by a long rector.

Credo

The Russian State Social University was devoted to a huge extent to historical education, and the denigration of the Soviet past, which occurred in those years, and did not stop, and now, painfully wounded the rector of the former Higher School of Economics. In 2010, a conference was held where Zhukov stated that the rehabilitation of the Soviet historical period is simply necessary.

Naturally, the modern "young historians" hotly objected, including Igor Kurlyandsky and Nikita Petrov, because now it is difficult to falsify archival documents that convict Soviet authorities of terrible crimes, despite the free exits with these materials in the media. The Russian State Social University has experienced a real war on its territory.

Evidence

The public immediately learned that Zhukov was unreasonably rich. Among rectors, in any case. The figures of his huge salary were given: he received a total of 579,400 rubles a month at the university cash desk. It's funny. In the same year 2011, a good programmer - not an academician, not a professor, not a rector, no one at all, and called in any way, within a month was fully able to earn such a sum.

You can compare this salary with the needs of any supernumerary regional administration. In Vladimir, for example, brushes and toilet paper were ordered more expensive than the monthly salary of the RSCU rector. But many still were convinced of the criminal wrongness of Zhukov. And the others elected him a member of the Public Chamber of the Central Federal District of Moscow.

Awards

Zhukov's whole life was a contribution to scientific and pedagogical work, to the training of highly qualified specialists. At different times Academician Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich was awarded with awards. These are two orders "For Services to the Fatherland", and the Order of Prince Daniel of Moscow for strengthening the moral principle in the upbringing of modern youth.

The Soviet and Russian scientist, a member of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation, the vice president of the Russian Academy of Social Sciences (RASN ) and the Russian Family National Committee, also carried out a great deal of public activity.

The science

The honored worker of science of the Russian Federation has made up to this moment more than five hundred scientific publications. The main areas of his research were the same sociology and social history of education in Russia, many topics explored the theory and organization of political activity.

Being the plenipotentiary representative of the president of the Russian Federation among the Central Administrative District of Moscow, he headed the Russian Academy of Social Education, worked to strengthen Russian-Chinese friendship as chairman of this society, and met in the presidium of the chess federation. But the most responsible is to solve the issues of education at scientific councils under the head of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation. In addition, the list of public duties listed here that Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich fulfilled is far from complete.

A family

Almost all close academicians by kinship are close to him and in the way of life. His wife, Galina Sevostyanovna, also graduated with honors from the University of Voronezh in 1974. Applied mathematics, please note. The fact that in the Soviet era, a red diploma and insufficient knowledge - things incompatible, now everyone knows. In 1979, she defended the first thesis, in 1991 - the second, the doctoral. Mathematics. But no, they also question these postulates. And these are just those who studied much later, when Russian education ceased to be truly superior, because they received it not for free and for competition, but for money.

Because of the struggle for the quality of the knowledge received by the youth, which her husband led, and Galina Sevostyanovna had to endure many unpleasant minutes. Two of their daughters also went to science. Have learned and repeatedly defended. And at the same young age as their parents. And then they were deprived of their academic ranks. For plagiarism. It is interesting, is it possible today, and also thirty or fifty years ago, to find at least one dissertation in which there are no borrowings? But it was necessary to discover plagiarism from them. And found, of course. And that's why.

VPSh

As was already said above, VI Zhukov among several young (up to forty) scientists was sent from Voronezh to Moscow to step under the arches of the Higher Party School. Feeling the disintegration of a great country, the teacher in February 1991 asked the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR with proposals for creating a special center on the basis of the VPS, where highly professional workers for the social sphere would be trained.

Moreover, they have already developed and curricula, and programs for social work, social psychology, social pedagogy, social ecology, which highlighted the problems of politics and economics and given examples of comparative historical sociology. He went to meet him, and in April 1991, Zhukov Vasily Ivanovich, whose biography was decorated with the creation of a new university, began to perform the duties of the pro-rector of the RSFI, having lifted the former MVSH to the level of the most prestigious and progressive universities. But the piece was too tasty to leave it as it is.

Rich heirs

But in August 1991, the putsch broke out, the country ceased to exist, having disintegrated into a number of independent, but very small, if not Russia, and weak republics, including Russia. The RSBI was liquidated to create three new universities at once, but the sociological direction of the university was not envisaged.

The former VPSh fell apart at the RSUH (with two main educational buildings, five hostels, a graduate house, two apartment buildings, all transport, a treasury, a library and many more), MGUA (with rooms of the correspondence department and dormitories in Sadovo-Kudrinskaya) and To execute carcasses!) The Soviet-American University, in charge of which the buildings on Leningradsky Prospekt, the hostel and restaurant for Skakova, the unfinished house and near-by cottages with land plots of the Central Committee of the CPSU and many other things have moved away.

Poor relatives

Five hundred and eighty-six full-time students, sixty graduate students, one hundred and fifty-four teachers were simply thrown out into the street. The documents of the sociologists were assigned to garbage cans and for the most part destroyed. What was the way out of the situation so ugly? Sociologists could only fight for the right to start over.

Here, the future rector, the founder of the RSSU, Professor Zhukov, who again represented the interests of students and teachers in the struggle for the right to receive coveted education and work on a profession chosen by the whole heart, again found its remarkable organizational skills. The struggle was hard. With pickets, demonstrations, rallies, appeals to the government, courts and the media. There were even hunger strikes. And finally, it was a success.

October, for RSSU - great

The politicians of the Khazbulatov, Vilchik, Lakhova and some others showed responsibility and foresight, contributing to the adoption of government decisions, and on October 14, 1991 Zhukov RGSU opened! As a rector. It's not even a personal and public victory over the arbitrariness of this difficult time. Russia began its renovation, it clearly needed representatives of the social profile, who received a corresponding education.

Although harmony in the relationship between government and society was not present until even in the sweetest dreams. It should be noted that Zhukov was elected to the post of rector, and not appointed. And - four times. And - more importantly - unanimously! Only in 2012, after the sixty-five-year anniversary, he went to the post of honorary president of the RSSU. But it should be remembered that in ten years the university under his leadership became one of the most attractive and prestigious universities in the country.

results

Fourteen of the fifteen indicators received the highest evaluation of the commission that carried out a comprehensive audit of the institution's activities - is this not an indicator of the excellent work of the rector? And his youngest daughter, Galina Vasilievna, one of the youngest doctors of science in the country, came up with and worked out a model of student self-government, which became the best in Russia and was adopted by many other universities.

The work of Academician Zhukov was highly appreciated. "Rector-founder of the RSSU" - became a lifelong title, which was appropriated by the Minister of Labor of the Russian Federation Pochinok. But the main thing is that the university headed by the rector-founder quickly became the flagship of the national education. Thousands of excellent specialists and first-class scientists have come out of its walls, new scientific schools have been created, a methodological base corresponding to all modern requirements, hundreds of manuals and textbooks have been published, to which there are no analogues in the world.

Height of education

Within a few years, a powerful faculty was formed in this university, capable of preparing specialists with both secondary and higher education. More than three hundred thousand of them now work in social institutions, in employment and labor agencies, in pension and social insurance.

Graduates of the RSSU became federal ministers, and their deputies, heads of social services in the regions, major scientists, teachers. Talented young people from all over the country flocked to this university. Alexander Povetkin and Ekaterina Gamova, Olga Kapranova and Roman Shirokov, Sergei Karyakin and Valentina Gunina, and many more voiced names among the graduates of the RSSU. Nine Olympic champions, five Champions-Paraolympic athletes, seventy-two world champions among the students of this university promoted the right way of life. Already since 1994, the university does not smoke at all!

Personality

RSSU is grateful to Academician Zhukov not only for his creation, formation and development. First of all, the honorary rector is a researcher and scientist, and the sphere of his scientific interests is impressive. This is social history, and migration, and population, and historical comparativistics, and demographic processes, and the management of social processes using the methodology of mathematical modeling, and social statistics, and ethnosociology, and political processes and institutions, economics, sociology, history in all its The politics of educational processes.

His works have been published in many languages: in addition to the everyday German, English and French, Zhukov is also read in Chinese, Korean, Serbian, Bulgarian and many others. This is the pride of the university, and students and graduate students aspire to socially useful activities, as far as possible. But they did not save it. RSSU, as was noted above, is a very tasty morsel. And for control of it many see the sense of fighting - even against all sorts of rules. Recently, Academician Zhukov was attacked: he was nearly killed with baseball bats. Two years in hospitals and disability. But the academician continues his scientific work even in this condition.

Public opinion

The reasons for the brutal beating of an academician seem to many to be very simple. His eldest daughter was dismissed from the RSSU, and in her place now works the widow of Minister Pochinok. Attempts to recover through the court resulted in telephone threats and even a partial incarnation of them. Vasily Ivanovich is sure that the target of those who attacked him was his death. Sambo knowledge and the "Wasp" pistol helped. What will happen next - time will tell.
