Career
The parents wanted their son to build a career as a doctor. But Maxim Yuryevich decided to enter the Faculty of Law. Studies had to be interrupted due to military service. After returning, the young man quickly caught up with his fellow students and passed the exams as an external student. With honors in his hands, Maxim Sokolov took up the position of a teacher at his own educational institution. It was there that he managed to make many useful acquaintances. Sokolov enjoyed being at the lectures of Dmitry Medvedev, who at that time was a simple teacher.
In parallel with his work at the university, Maxim Yuryevich decided to engage in commercial activities. In the 90s, he opened the Rossi-Service company. Pretty soon, the man decided to completely go into business, realizing that working as a teacher would not bring any prospects. Then it was decided to create the "Corporation C" project, where he took the position of general director. Soon, the company's activities provoked a huge scandal due to illegal developments in the center of St. Petersburg. Organizations for the protection of cultural monuments, together with local residents, argued that irreparable damage was caused to the city. The company was forgotten when Sokolov decided to go into the political arena.
The man began to work in the administration of St. Petersburg. From that moment, his political career began. Rumors began to seep into the press that a long-standing friendship with Valentina Matvienko helped to get a place. Sokolov masterfully coped with his duties and quickly attracted the attention of the federal government. Therefore, no one was surprised when he received an offer from the President of the Russian Federation to take the post of Minister of Transport. While working in the civil service, he received the Order of Merit for the Fatherland.
In May 2018, Sokolov left the post of Minister of Transport. After leaving his post, the politician is predicted to be an advisor to Aeroflot and Transneft. These rumors began leaking into the press during his career as a minister.
