The ministerial chair is not as attractive as it appears from a distance. Yes, the specialist who sits in it receives a good salary. However, he also has a considerable sphere of responsibility. Maxim Topilin is still coping with the tasks assigned to him.
Starting conditions
The current Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian state Maxim Topilin was born on April 19, 1967 in an intelligent family. Parents belong to the category of hereditary Muscovites. When the workers' children did not have enough milk, Maxim's table was full of delicacies. When the age approached, the boy was sent to an elite school with in-depth study of the English language.
After leaving school, the young man did not have to puzzle about the future. The further career of Maxim Anatolyevich Topilin was thought out in advance. He entered the famous Institute of National Economy. In 1984, having received a specialized education, the graduate stayed in graduate school and took up research work. In the sphere of his interests were social processes and the quality of life of the population. According to surveys and official statistics, the graduate student learned how different categories of people live - owners, employees, students and retirees.
Professional activity
The official biography of Maxim Topilin reflects all the moves up the career ladder. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Topilin, Ph. D. in Economics, remained at the institute as a senior researcher. In a difficult economic situation, the country needed competent specialists, and he was invited to work in the apparatus of the federal government. At first, Maxim was listed as a consultant, but after a short period of time he headed the Department of Labor and Social Policy.
It is important to note that in the late 1990s, the structure of the government changed periodically. This was not a formal work of officials. The country was faced with the task of assembling an effective and competent government. In 2001, Topilin was appointed Deputy Minister of Labor. By the next order, four years later, he was appointed Chief Labor Inspector of the Russian Federation. It makes no sense to list all kinds of hardware permutations and reorganizations. Suffice it to say that in 2012 Maxim Anatolyevich became the head of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
Essays on personal life
There are no opportunities to be creative in a responsible position, but you can easily define your position on a burning issue. Even during the discussion of the pension reform, Maxim Topilin argued well against raising the retirement age. At the same time, he persistently “pushed through” the idea of taxing self-employed citizens.
The personal life of the minister is of no interest to the yellow press. Maxim met his future wife at school age - they lived in the same house. For many, husband and wife have shared shelter, are raising and raising two daughters. The atmosphere of love and mutual respect is preserved in the Topilins' house.
