Biography of Surkov
Vladislav Yuryevich has a very interesting biography. He was born into an intelligent family. Mom, Zoya Antonovna Surkova, graduated from the Pedagogical Institute and worked as a literature teacher. Dad, Andarbek Danilbekovich Dudaev, worked as a primary school teacher. Later, Andarbek Danilbekovich changed his name to Yuri. Actually, this explains the origin of the current name of Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov.
In 1967, the Dudayev family moved to the city of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. My father went to Leningrad to enter a military school there. After graduating from college, he joined the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
In 1969, Aslanbek's parents divorced, and his mother left Chechnya. He finished high school in Skopin, Ryazan region.
In 1981 he was enrolled in the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. But he did not like the profession, so after studying for 2 semesters, he was included in the lists for deduction. However, he left his studies voluntarily. Then he was drafted into the army, served, like his father, in the GRU. The service took place in the city of Mor, Hungary. Aslanbek served for 2 years.
After the army, Surkov entered the Moscow Institute of Culture. There he studied for exactly one year. Perhaps this episode became the key in the choice of the first wife.
Surkov received higher education only in the 90s. This time education was economic. Finally, Surkov found his path, because in this area he achieved very serious heights.
However, one should not think that only a bright head gave the right start to a career. Here the role was played more by the fact that he was at the right time in the right place.
Aslanbek loved to play sports and trained with the famous karateka Tadeusz Kasyanov. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was also constantly present there, who already had a very great influence at that time. At first, Surkov was his security guard, and later headed the advertising department of the NTTM Center.
From 1988 to 1996, Surkov was exclusively engaged in the advertising business. We can say that he dictated the conditions under which advertising should enter the Russian market.
From 1996 to 1997, Surkov became vice president of CJSC Rosprom, and then went to competitors at Alfa-Bank. Rumor has it that he did this because Khodorkovsky refused to include Surkov on the list of partners.
In 1998-1999, Surkov was the first deputy general director for PR at ORT CJSC. He took this post thanks to the recommendation of Boris Berezovsky. On television, Vladislav Surkov made many necessary connections to further get into the civil service.
In 1999, Surkov was first an assistant, and then became deputy head of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation. At that time it was headed by Alexander Voloshin, whom Surkov met while working for ORT.
Since September 20, 2013, Surkov has been the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. He is the author of the concept of "sovereign democracy".
Reappointed to the post of Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation on June 13, 2018.

Vishnevskaya Yulia Petrovna. Born in 1956, she is a relative of Maria Davydovna Vishnevskaya, the second wife of Anatoly Chubais.
Was the founder of ZAO Metapress, where Surkov worked. There they met. We quickly registered the relationship.
In 1998 she opened the Museum of Unique Dolls, thanks to which she became famous. The collection now numbers about 400 items.
Vishnevskaya and Surkov did not have joint children, but he adopted her son Artyom, who was educated at a private British school. Now Artem lives with his mother in London.
Surkov's second wife
When Vladislav worked for Menatep, Natalya Dubovitskaya was his personal secretary. Then she became the head of a company that deals with interior design.
Businesswoman, a very successful woman who made herself. They say that Natalya earns 4 times more than Surkov himself. Although this information is unreliable.
Natalia Dubovitskaya, married to Surkov, gave birth to 3 children. The eldest son Roman was born in 2002, daughter Maria was born in 2004, and son Timur was born in 2010.
Natalya looks great, takes care of the house and children, while she does not quit her business. He is a shareholder of several companies.
He does not forget to attend social gatherings. Children, like some other wives of politicians, Natalya does not hide, but on the contrary gladly uploads photos of her children.
In 2017, Anastasia Ryazantseva, a famous fashion designer, invited Natalia and her children to a photo shoot for Tatler magazine, where she introduced a new line of school clothes to a wide audience. The Surkov family was perfect for the role of an ideal family. But, unfortunately, the head of the family could not take part in the photo session.
