Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko in the domestic political horizon of recent years is the most successful and influential woman. A native of Shepetivka, Khmelnytsky region and a native of a Ukrainian rural family, she was able to show her natural abilities and indomitable energy in such a way that she reached the top of the bureaucratic hierarchy in Russia.
Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko is a Russian politician and diplomat. Since September 21, 2011 she has been the Chairman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. In the Federation Council, he is a representative from the executive body of state power - the Government of St. Petersburg. In addition, she is a member of the Supreme Council of United Russia.
Short biography of Valentina Matvienko
On April 7, 1949, a girl named Valya was born in the family of Ivan Tyutin and Irina Tyutina. Soon after the birth of her daughter, her parents decide to move from Shepetovka to Cherkassy. The father passed away very early, and the mother subsequently had a rather difficult time. After all, three daughters were growing up in the family.
The difficult financial situation contributed to the fact that Valentina very early began to earn money by her own labor. After receiving a certificate of secondary education, she graduates from medical school. The chosen profession so fascinated the girl, inexperienced by civilization, that soon she moved to the city on the Neva in order to improve her qualifications in a specialized university.
She even dares to go to graduate school, but, apparently, scientific activity seemed to her more boring than social work. After all, this was followed by training at the Academy of Social Sciences and at the courses of diplomatic staff. Thus, the subsistence agriculture of the Ukrainian expanses was replaced in her career by serious work in the field of political life.
Professional career politician
Political work began, as it should be, with the lower ranks and membership in the Communist Party. This is where the maximum dedication was required, which was formed in Matvienko from childhood and adolescence. A young woman with a burning gaze soon becomes the secretary of the committee of the Leningrad region. Already at this time, a certain fame was entrenched for her, attributing to her numerous romantic and drunken stories, which allegedly accompanied her climbing the career ladder.
And the year 1986 becomes truly fateful for Matvienko, when she receives a responsible position related to education and culture. At the same time, the aspiring politician heads the Family Protection Committee. And just before the collapse of the Soviet Union, she is already becoming a diplomatic worker in the rank of ambassador.
Valentina Ivanovna's professional career in the modern history of Russia is accompanied by positions such as Deputy Prime Minister (social block), Governor of the Leningrad Region and Chairman of the Federation Council. Her last post also implies membership in the State Council of Russia at the present time.
It is interesting that the events of recent years associated with the political life of Ukraine became the reason that V. I. Matvienko was included in the US "sanctions" list. As a result, the first-rate Russian politician was "punished" by the US government by freezing accounts and seizing real estate.
Personal life
The active political life of Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko became possible largely due to the high stability of the family aspect. While studying at a St. Petersburg university, she met her classmate Vladimir Matvienko, who later became her only husband. Interestingly, after graduating from the Institute of Chemistry, the husband chose the teaching path as a professional career.
Until 2000, when Vladimir retired, he taught at the Military Medical Academy. And then he led a quiet and inconspicuous lifestyle, fully concentrating on the improvement of the suburban suburban area. He currently lives there, moving in a wheelchair. Family relations of the married couple Matvienko fully correspond to the concept of exemplary. After all, the country does not know a single noisy scandalous story behind them.
Children
The theme of Valentina Matvienko's children really worries many sympathetic fans of the outstanding domestic woman politician. In 1973, Sergey Vladimirovich Matvienko was born. The parents provided their son with comprehensive assistance in obtaining education and developing a professional career. The young man currently has two higher education degrees in related fields. In the period from 2004 to 2006, he was officially married to the popular singer Zara.
And in 2008, Valentina Matvienko experienced the happiness of becoming a grandmother. The marriage of her son to a student girl from an ordinary family, far from politics, fulfilled her dream of procreation. Granddaughter Arina brought the family together even more, because now the busy politician began to spend more time with his family.
After Sergei successfully graduated from both universities, he got a job as vice president of the largest bank in the city, St. Petersburg. The banking sector captivated the talented young man so much that he soon made a serious career leap, becoming one of the leaders of Vneshtorgbank. But this did not stop the active nature of the financier. Today he heads the notorious "Empire", which is engaged in a very wide range of activities from cleaning to transport and logistics services and the development of modern software.
