Elena Mizulina is a Russian politician whose biography is riveted on the attention of a large number of Russians. She gained fame thanks to the promotion of scandalous laws, to one degree or another affecting the rights and freedoms of citizens.
Biography
Elena Mizulina was born in the city of Bui in 1954. From childhood, she wanted to be a significant person in her country, studied diligently and wanted to become a diplomat. By the end of school, Elena realized that there was practically no chance of entering MGIMO, so she became a student at Yaroslavl State University, choosing a legal specialty. Having received her education, the future deputy began her career in the district court as a consultant. She did not stop improving her knowledge and subsequently defended her Ph. D. thesis.
Persistence and various connections allowed Elena Mizulina to take one of the leading posts in the Federation Council in 1993, and two years later she received a deputy mandate in the State Duma from the Yabloko party. The low popularity of the latter forced Mizulina to go to the "Union of Right Forces" and continue her career in the Constitutional Court in the future. From 2007 to 2015, she served as head of the Committee on Women, Children and Family in the State Duma. A new step in the career of a politician was the position of a senator in the Federation Council.
In fact, throughout the entire public service, Elena Mizulina was extremely active in lawmaking. With the help of it, it was possible to pass a "law on censorship on the Internet", which made it possible to immediately block unwanted sites that violate the law. In addition, Mizulina openly opposed sexual minorities in the country. One of her demands was a ban on the adoption of children by same-sex families, as well as on gay propaganda.
The next ban on the part of Elena Mizulina concerned abortion and surrogacy. She demanded that women be allowed to carry out abortions only in cases of rape or for medical reasons. The politician also spoke out against the adoption of Russian children by foreign families. One of the last for Elena Borisovna's deputy activities was the law on the decriminalization of domestic violence, which caused a heated discussion among the civilian population, but was nevertheless adopted by the State Duma.
Personal life
Elena Mizulina has always remained a faithful wife and caring mother. Even as a student, she married a classmate Mikhail Mizulin, with whom she lives in harmony today. The spouse chose a teaching career and holds a respectable position at the Academy of the Civil Service of the Russian Federation. They had two children - Ekaterina and Nikolay, who have been leading independent lives for a long time.
The son of the Mizulins lives in Brussels and is engaged in legal entrepreneurship and is known as a co-owner of a large firm Mayer Brown. He married a Spanish woman and is currently raising two children. The daughter of the Mizulins chose social activities for herself and is the head of one of the Moscow social funds.
