Since 2015, OJSC Russian Railways has been headed by Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov. During his tenure at Russian Railways, productivity has improved significantly, and the growth in tariffs for the company's services has decreased. And what is known about Oleg Belozerov not as a successful manager, but as a person? Where is he from? Does he have a wife and children? What is his passion and what life principles does he adhere to?
Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov is a skillful manager, statesman and public figure who managed to get one of the main transport companies of the Russian Federation out of a crisis situation in a fairly short period of time. His career and personal life is an example of commitment and stability. Belozerov transfers his personal qualities to those objects or companies that he is entrusted to manage. A striking indicator of this is the rapid development of Russian Railways during the period of his rule.
Belozerov Oleg Valentinovich - who is he and where is he from
The future successful state-level manager was born in the Latvian SSR, in a family of hereditary doctors, on September 26, 1969. The boy's mother worked as a neurologist, and his father worked as a radiologist in the outpatient clinic of the Latvian port town of Ventspils.
Oleg Belozerov graduated from high school in his hometown, received higher education in St. Petersburg. The parents wanted their son to play sports seriously. Oleg showed excellent results in athletics. His 400-meter city record has yet to be broken. But the young man chose a different profile direction - he entered the University of Economics and Finance of St. Petersburg, received a red diploma in economics in the field of industrial planning.
After graduating from the university, Oleg Valentinovich served in the army - on the border with Norway, not far from Murmansk. Merit in athletics led him to the sports company. After serving in the army, Belozerov decided to continue his education, entered the graduate school of his native university, and became a candidate of economic sciences.

After graduating from the university, Belozerov worked in his specialty - first as a deputy commercial director, and then as a commercial director of JSC Lenenergo. Then there was a steady growth in his career:

The post of the head of Russian Railways, achievements and innovations
The financial and economic indicators of Russian Railways for 2015 did not meet the requirements of the Russian government. This was the reason for the change in the leadership of this transport direction.
Having taken the post of the head of JSC Russian Railways, Belozerov first of all drew attention to the company's internal reserves, optimized the expenses of the state monopoly, engaged in personnel changes, and changed the priority areas of work.
The changes did not affect social trends, quite the contrary. By increasing the cost of freight transportation, by optimizing the functionality of some departments of the structure, Belozerov saved significant financial resources. Thanks to them, it became possible to improve the quality of services in medical institutions of Russian Railways, to expand the list of resort areas where employees and employees of railways rest.
Belozerov's next step was to equip the industry with new equipment and vehicles. During the period of his leadership, several additional directions were opened, innovative trains were put into operation. This indicates the high performance of his government.
Not everyone was satisfied with the changes and innovations of Belozerov. There were those who tried to accuse him of hidden income, the presence of a criminal trace in career development and other "sins". Such accusations, most often, came from those who were dismissed from the structure for abuse of office or abuse of office, suspicion of bribery.
