Enough has already been said about the fact that politicians are not born. It is much more important to know how they become. You cannot come to this category of people from the street and apply. At the same time, the bulk of public people do not hide their route to the top. Having reached a certain level, they willingly share their experiences. Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin's life situation is somewhat different from the standard. He went through the correct prelaunch training, having received not only high-quality knowledge, but also brought up the resilience of character.
Prelaunch preparation
The history of the renovated Russia has not even been three decades old. Many representatives of the Soviet elite organically and successfully integrated into the existing socio-economic formation. The classical market economy is operating. However, unreasonably many side effects have appeared. The space industry, which was the pride of the Soviet Union, is losing its position in the world ranking before our very eyes. The day is not far off when some provincial Guinea-Papua will equal the "great" Russia. Of course, Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, General Director of the state corporation Roscosmos, has a different opinion.
Yes, he is more informed on this topic than other citizens of the country. If we evaluate the biography of Rogozin, then we can say that he deservedly occupies his high post. Dmitry Olegovich was born on December 21, 1963 in the family of a high-ranking military man. Father, Doctor of Technical Sciences, held a responsible position in the Ministry of Defense. The parents did not spoil the only child, but purposefully prepared him for an independent life. Dmitry studied at a school with in-depth study of the French language. From an early age, he was introduced to physical education.
In order for the child to be able to establish contacts with people around him, he was focused on team sports. Dmitry played basketball well. A little later he became interested in handball and even received the title of master of sports in this sport. In high school, he willingly studied at the School of the Young Journalist, which operated at Moscow State University. The teenage hobby grew into a desire to get an appropriate education. In 1981 Rogozin entered the international department of journalism. After the allotted five years he received a diploma with honors and a specialty “international journalist”. During his studies, he mastered Spanish and English.
The certified journalist was invited to work in the Committee of Youth Organizations of the Soviet Union. At this time, perestroika processes were gaining momentum in the country. The entire progressive community, from professors to taxi drivers, stigmatized the planned economy and, foaming at the mouth, stood up for the transition to the market. Dmitry Rogozin, in order to master the subject of discussion at a professional level, studied at the economics department of the University of Marxism-Leninism and received, as one would expect, a diploma with honors. When the famous events of August 1991 took place, Rogozin openly supported Boris Yeltsin's position.
On the political Olympus
After the Soviet Union was "disbanded" into national apartments, Dmitry Rogozin had to make a difficult choice. He decided to give up journalistic creativity and reorient himself to a political career. He had all the necessary qualities - education, work experience in public organizations, good health. The first practical action was the creation of the Union for the Renaissance of Russia in 1992. After a short period of time, this organization was transformed into the "Congress of Russian Communities". Finding your place in the political field requires energy and a clear understanding of the ongoing processes.
In 1995 Rogozin made his way to the State Duma. About what events took place within the walls of the Russian parliament at that time, the print media and television were actively talking. Political parties arose and after a while disappeared from the information space. Dmitry Rogozin was the leader of the Rodina party for some time. After a painful scandal, he had to vacate this post. Today, only he himself and the historians who are engaged in the formation of parliamentarism in Russia remember this episode.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Rogozin headed the Russian delegation in negotiations with Lithuania and representatives of the EU. It was about the rules for the passage of Russian citizens through the territory of a European state to Kaliningrad and back. The negotiations ended with a satisfactory result. In early 2008, the country's president appointed Dmitry Rogozin as a special representative to the NATO military bloc. An experienced diplomat successfully fulfills his mission. Two years later, he became a member of the Government of the Russian Federation, a curator of enterprises in the military-industrial complex.
On the "space economy"
In this position, Rogozin has to work closely with the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. The problems that were revealed during the construction of a large-scale facility required quick and accurate solutions. Dmitry Olegovich tried. Suffice it to say that twenty criminal cases were initiated at his filing. The execution of the work was accelerated, but the schedule for the commissioning of the cosmodrome was not fulfilled. The President of the country, noting Rogozin's significant contribution to the development of the military-industrial complex, appoints him General Director of the state corporation Roscosmos.
This is not an easy burden of duties and responsibility does not frighten Dmitry Rogozin. To a certain extent, he is even pleased with the opportunity to use his knowledge and strength for the benefit of the country. The tasks are set as ambitious and risky. But it cannot be otherwise - the competition for the possession of outer space is intensifying by leaps and bounds. As for personal life, there is nothing special to talk about it. The future husband and wife met during their student years. Their son was born and raised, who became a major leader. Dmitry and Tatiana Rogozin have three grandchildren.
