Public administration specialists are trained in special educational institutions. Long-term practice shows that effective businessmen are often appointed to high positions in government. Academics also meet in positions of responsibility. Viktor Borisovich Khristenko is a professional manager. For many years he has held key positions in government structures.
Viktor Borisovich Khristenko was born in the summer of 1957. Parents lived in Chelyabinsk. My father worked for a long time as the chief engineer of a metallurgical plant. After retiring, he taught at a local industrial institute. The mother was engaged in housekeeping.
The biography of Viktor Borisovich developed in a classical manner. When the time came, the boy went to school. He studied well. I got along with my classmates. He willingly participated in public life. I played sports seriously. An observant young man saw and assessed with his own eyes how his peers live and what milestones they want to achieve in life. In 1974 he received a certificate of maturity and entered the Faculty of Economics and Industrial Production at the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute.
In 1979 he defended his diploma and remained at his native institute as a teacher. The career of Viktor Khristenko developed progressively. He defended his Ph. D. thesis. Received the position of assistant professor. Under his leadership, students received a quality education and always found a good job after graduation. When perestroika, democracy and glasnost began in the country, the successful teacher was elected a deputy of the city council.
In public service
After the infamous coup in August 1991, smart people realized that the Soviet Union was living out its last days. At this moment, Viktor Khristenko was appointed deputy head of the Chelyabinsk region for economic issues. The situation on the territory under its jurisdiction was critical. Large enterprises were idle. Economic ties, which had been in place for many years, were interrupted. The salaries of the workers were paid with a great delay. In such an environment, Khristenko was able to make optimal decisions.
In 1997, the president of the country appointed Viktor Khristenko as his representative in the Chelyabinsk region. A few months later, the competent manager was transferred to Moscow to the post of Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. At the federal level, a native of the Urals demonstrated his best qualities - competence, endurance and the ability to “handle” difficult situations.
Personal
The personal life of Mr. Khristenko cannot serve as an example to follow. Today he is married with a second marriage. In union with his first wife, three children were born. Apparently, there was love between husband and wife or something similar to this feeling. Having moved to Moscow, a high-ranking official fell in love again. The object of his desires was Tatyana Golikova, who also held a significant post in the government. Today they live together and run a joint household.
