In modern Russia, politicians and federal officials began their careers with a wealth of knowledge and experience gained during the Soviet era. The biography of Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev serves as a vivid illustration of this thesis.
Starting conditions
The future Minister of Agriculture of the country Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachev was born in December 1960. Parents lived in a village called Vyselki. Family of hereditary Cossacks. The weavers were traditionally engaged in agriculture. The child was taught to work from an early age. The work in the yard and in the field is not hard, but monotonous and tedious. If you are going to mow, then you need to beat off and sharpen the scythe. Otherwise, you will fill up calluses, and the cut will be scanty. There are plenty of similar "little things" in agriculture.
Tkachev's biography developed according to the scheme known to all his peers. The boy studied well at school. He went in for sports and creativity. He played the out of tune guitar and took part in amateur art shows with pleasure. Alexander knew well how his peers and friends live, what they dream of and what goals they set for the future. To get a decent education, after the 10th grade, he entered the Krasnodar Polytechnic. In 1983 he received his diploma and returned to his native village.
Agrarian and politician
Tkachev's industrial career began as an energy engineer at an interdistrict enterprise for the production of combined feed. Alexander's father worked as the director of the enterprise. A couple of years later, a competent and energetic specialist was elected first secretary of the Komsomol district committee. In the early 90s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the mass privatization of state-owned enterprises began. For several years, the Tkachev family has formed the Agrocomplex joint-stock company, which has become one of the largest industrial and commercial structures in the region.
In 1995, Alexander Nikolaevich was elected to the State Duma. In the status of a deputy, he devotes a lot of time and effort to the adoption of legislative acts securing the right of owners to privatized property. In 2000, a group of like-minded people nominated Tkachev for the post of governor of the Krasnodar Territory. As a result of a tough confrontation with competitors, Alexander Tkachev occupies the coveted post. In the territory under its jurisdiction, ambiguous processes are taking place. The events in the village of Kushchevskaya became tragically famous.
In the minister's chair
There is much more trouble in the post of governor than that of a deputy or a businessman. For almost thirteen years, Tkachev was in charge of one of the largest constituent entities of the federation. It is important to note that the bottom line is that the positive results significantly outweigh the costs and negative effects. In 2015, Alexander Tkachev was appointed Minister of Agriculture. At the federal level, he had to deal with familiar problems. The main task set by the President of the country is to ensure a decrease in the share of imported products in the domestic market.
The personal life of Alexander Tkachev is simple and not intricate. He has been married for a long time. The house has an atmosphere of love and trust. The husband and wife raised two daughters.
