Kirill Seleznev, whose biography is of interest to the general public for two reasons: in connection with his high official position and in connection with his famous father, is a typical representative of the “golden youth”. His career rise does not give rest to journalists who are constantly trying to find incriminating evidence on him. We will tell you about the work path and the private life of Seleznev Kirill.
The beginning of the way
Kirill Seleznev was born on April 23, 1974 in an ordinary hospital in the city of Leningrad. The boy’s early years were not marked by anything remarkable, and Seleznev tries to never touch this period in his stories about the biography. The official history of Cyril begins only from the moment he enters the university. However, there is one fact in his origin and childhood that attracts journalists very much. This is the theme of his ancestors.
Parents
Kirill Seleznev, whose family periodically becomes the subject of journalistic investigations, categorically does not comment on anything and does not talk about his origin. However, patronymic alone speaks volumes. Kirill is the son of a well-known in Russia, today already deceased, former Chairman of the State Duma Gennady Nikolayevich Seleznev.
The politician arrived in Leningrad in the mid-60s. He came from a very simple family and made his own way. After working in various places, including a turner at the factory, he enters the journalism faculty at Leningrad University. During his studies, he began to advance along the Komsomol line, and in 1974, after graduation, he was accepted to the post of deputy chief editor in the popular youth magazine Smena. In 1980, he moved to Moscow, where he began working in the Central Committee of the Komsomol, and then editor-in-chief in Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Further the path of Seleznev goes only up. The peak of his political career is the election to the post of Duma speaker in 1996. But it is interesting that in many official biographies there is no mention of Kirill Gennadievich. Only some sources call him among the heirs of the politician. The official family of Seleznev Sr. is his wife Irina Borisovna and daughter Tatyana Gennadyevna.
Kirill’s mother Tatyana Mironova lived all her life in St. Petersburg, and until recently, her two sons Kirill Seleznev and Andrei Mironov were registered in her apartment. Kirill does not comment on the mysterious story with his father, although the journalists found a lot of evidence that in his adult state he maintained close business relations with his parent.
Education
After school, about which no mention can be found in official biographies, Kirill Seleznev enters Voenmekh, Baltic Technical University. The university is one of the best engineering schools in Russia, among its graduates it is enough to name such names as Sergey Naryshkin, Evgeny Afanasyev, Georgy Grechko and others. Cyril studied in the specialty "pulse devices and automatic rotor lines." In 1997, he received a diploma of higher education.
Later, in 2002, when his professional path was already determined, Seleznev graduated from another higher educational institution - St. Petersburg University, majoring in finance and credit.
Career start
After graduating from the first university, Seleznev Kirill enters the position of manager at Baltic Financial Company. There he was engaged in a "game" on the "Forex". Having quickly understood the whole scheme of work on the resale of assets, he transferred to the financial and investment company Management. Investments. Development". Here he works as an analyst, specialist in stock transactions with securities.
A year later, he transferred to work at the St. Petersburg Sea Port as the chief investment specialist. But a year later, in 2000, he again changed his place of service. This time, Seleznev tries himself as the head of the tax service of the Baltic Pipeline System. Here he also lasted only a year. Apparently, these frequent layoffs were associated with the search for a suitable place, and soon it was found.
Gazprom
In 2001, Seleznev became an assistant to the chairman of the board of the largest raw materials company in Russia - Gazprom. From this moment begins the rapid ascent of Kirill Gennadevich along the career ladder. In 2002, he headed the Gazprom service for marketing, processing gas and liquid hydrocarbons. Six months later, he is already a member of the board of the commodity giant. In 2003, he heads the Gazprommezhregiongaz subsidiary. He holds this position today, combining it with his work on the boards of directors of several large companies, including Mosenergo.
Personal life
A large manager, Seleznev Kirill Gennadievich, whose marital status remains an interesting issue for the general public and journalists, never talks about his wife and children. Journalists assume that he simply does not have them. Although, perhaps, he was simply used to the high degree of secrecy that had surrounded his privacy since childhood.
