The formation and development of a market economy in Russia proceeds with large deviations from the outlined plans. This phenomenon is partly due to non-standard climatic conditions. The second inhibiting factor is the low mobility of the working-age population. Despite all the obstacles and inconsistencies, the country's government does not change its course. Arkady Vladimirovich Dvorkovich is one of the authoritative and educated officials in the upper echelons of power.
From student to expert
Each person, regardless of the field of activity, needs to get the initial skills to assess the current situation and plan further actions. Arkady Dvorkovich was born on March 26, 1972 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. My father was a grandmaster and a chess arbiter. Mother worked at a design institute. The biography of the child was usually formed for those times. When the time came, the boy was sent to a school with an in-depth study of mathematics.
In chess terms, it was a promising and carefully thought-out move. At that time, mathematical methods of economic management were already being developed. The conventional wisdom that the Soviet economy was too backward is too exaggerated. During his school years, Dvorkovich regularly played football and chess. Having received a certificate of maturity, Arkady, without any doubt, entered the department of economic cybernetics at Moscow State University. In parallel with his main studies, he attended lectures at the famous Russian School of Economics.
After completing his studies, Dvorkovich received two related specialties - an economist and a master of economics. Brilliant, by the standards of civilized countries, education opened up broad prospects for his professional activity. Arkady is involved as an expert for cooperation in one of the structures of the Ministry of Finance. Working with reports and statistical information, Dvorkovich accurately determines how Russian companies live and what problems they have to solve.
In public service
Oddly enough, there are not many specialists in the Russian government who are familiar with the intricacies of the world economy. The career of a civil servant was developing successfully, and Dvorkovich was appointed Deputy Minister of Economic Development. In 2012, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister in the government of Dmitry Medvedev. At that time, the situation in the global economy worsened. Leading Western powers have imposed sanctions on Russian companies and businessmen. In such an environment, important decisions need to be made with great care.
The ability to think logically and forward-looking allowed Dvorkovich to make some decisions that compensated for the damage from the sanctions. Love for chess has always helped Arkady when analyzing difficult situations. In 2015, he was appointed chairman of the board of directors at Russian Railways. This was a necessary measure. The fact is that the company's management got carried away with the pursuit of profits and stopped taking into account the interests of passengers.
The personal life of Arkady Dvorkovich is simple and reliable. He has been married for a long time. The future husband and wife met at the workplace, in the government of the Russian Federation. The family has three sons. Arkady Vladimirovich himself does not miss the opportunity to play football or hockey, ski. Sometimes they go fishing with their wife.
