Many politicians in Russia are concerned with protecting the constitutional rights of citizens. Maxim Shingarkin is one of such representatives. He has relevant training and deep knowledge in the environmental field.
Starting conditions
Everyday life of a modern person takes place in conditions that are not always safe for his health. According to Maxim Andreevich Shingarkin, technologies and mechanisms have long been created that make it possible to reduce to zero all harmful effects. A well-known public figure in Russia gives an account of his words. In the current chronological period, he is the head of the Green Moscow environmental movement. This movement arose out of necessity. The largest city in Russia has accumulated a large number of problems that need to be addressed consistently and thoughtfully.
The future leader of the environmental movement was born on September 1, 1968 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the famous city of Novokuibyshevsk. My father worked at an oil refinery.

It fell to him to serve in the units of the nuclear technical support of the Armed Forces of the country. The professional career of a career officer was quite successful. After 15 years, Maxim Andreevich retired from the army with the rank of lieutenant colonel. After entering "civilian life", he was actively involved in social activities. At the beginning of the 2000s, the topic of environmental safety became acute in Russia. The nuclear waste storage facilities left unattended after the collapse of the USSR had a depressing effect on the environment.
Since 2000, Maxim Shingarkin has served as coordinator of the Greenpeace Russia anti-nuclear project. He actively spoke and carried out practical measures to protect the rights of citizens living in the contaminated areas of the Chelyabinsk region.

And within the walls of the lower house of the Russian parliament, he continued to work actively in the committee on natural resources and ecology.
