The politicians of the new wave have done a lot for the formation of Russian statehood. The collapse of the Soviet Union followed a systemic crisis. It was necessary to rebuild the economy and establish social ties in the ruins of a great country. The experience gained in previous years was suitable for very limited applications. New approaches and mechanisms were required. People with new thinking were needed. There was no time to swing. Oleg Nikolaevich Sysuev found himself at the center of events and processes that unfolded in society. He was called to serve the country in a difficult situation.
Samara town
Every civilized country has built cities that support the economy and culture. Kuibyshev was considered one of such pillars in the Soviet Union. In 1992, the city was returned to its historical name Samara, but the records in the documents of older citizens are still preserved. The biography of Oleg Nikolaevich Sysuev is closely connected with this city. The future politician and businessman was born on March 23, 1953 in the family of a military man and dreamed of serving in the army. When the time came, the boy went to first grade and at the same time to a music school. He studied well and, having received a certificate of maturity, entered the local aviation institute.
After graduating from the institute, by assignment, he began his labor activity at the enterprise of the aviation industry. Sysuev's industrial career was developing successfully. He liked the job. A competent specialist quickly gained experience, and he was promoted. In the period from 1976 to 1991, he went from an ordinary engineer to the head of the technical department. A business, calm and sociable engineer was promoted to party work. Oleg Nikolaevich had to independently receive social and political education in addition to technical.
During the period when perestroika processes were gaining momentum in the country, Sysuev was engaged in party work. At a difficult moment he took over as chairman of the city executive committee. The experienced manager was elected to this post by the townspeople by universal suffrage. At the end of 1991, a few days after the Soviet Union officially ceased to exist, the President of Russia, by his decree, appointed Oleg Sysuev as the head of the Samara administration. He will have to work in this position until 1997. Twice, in 1994 and 1996, Sysuev "passed" the nationwide approval of the post of mayor through elections.
Samara, a city with a population of one million, has characteristic features that are inherent in many regions of Russia. Powerful industrial potential and developed social infrastructure make it possible to achieve a high standard of living for the population in this territory. The work of Mayor Sysuev in organizing the daily life of the townspeople was carefully and biasedly evaluated in the capital. Until a certain moment, the situation in the city remained calm. Some excitement and anxiety among residents was caused by the beginning of privatization. And this process was kept within the framework of the current regulations.
Moving to the capital
The Russian government positively assessed the accumulated experience in the development of the social sphere of Samara. In the spring of 1997, Oleg Nikolaevich Sysuev moved to Moscow, and took the post of Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation for Labor and Social Issues. In the new place, the circle and the severity of the problems turned out to be much more complicated. Regional algorithms and mechanisms could be applied in a very limited space. By that time, a clear economic mechanism had not yet been formed in the country. The population, and even the leaders of the territories on the ground, did not have a clear idea of the goals to strive for and the tasks that should be addressed in the first place.
The competence of Oleg Sysuev included issues of organization and remuneration. At that time, workers' wages were delayed for many months. Lawsuits in this regard were not considered. In such an environment, it was very difficult to carry out systematic work. Sysuev failed to contribute to the regulation of the imbalanced economic mechanism. A year and a half after the appointment, the infamous 1998 default erupted. This event was preceded by a leapfrog in the government. One Chairman was removed, the other was approved, but the situation in the economy did not change. The result of inaction turned out to be sad.
In September 1998, Oleg Nikolaevich Sysuev, as a trusted official, was invited to work in the Presidential Administration. At that time, it was a key body in the system of public administration and control over the execution of orders. Not everything went smoothly with the performance discipline in the upper echelons of power. It was here that the issues of the appointment or dismissal of high-ranking officials were resolved. Meanwhile, the government coped with the consequences of the default. And immediately, discussions began on a mechanism for further development. As a result of the disagreements that arose, Sysuev left his post. This move noticeably lowered his status in the eyes of officials and the ruling elite.
Bank work
At the new place, in "Alfa-Bank", Sysuev was appointed the curator of the regional network of branches. The development of the banking network in the regions was not as dramatic as privatization. However, this area of activity had and still has its own peculiarities. The first problem is the low level of public confidence in banks. This task can only be solved over time. People get used to it and start to trust a certain brand. The second problem is the actions of criminal structures to cash out their income. It is difficult to cope here without the help of law enforcement agencies.
They are satisfied with the work of Oleg Sysuev at the bank. In addition to his main job, he carries a great social burden. For many years he has sponsored the famous Hrushensky festival of art songs.
The personal life of Oleg Nikolaevich, in contrast to the situation in the economy, has not changed over the years. Husband and wife have lived under the same roof since their student days. They raised and raised two children - a son and a daughter.
