Poltavchenko Georgy Sergeevich gained fame as a young man, being an employee of the KGB of the USSR. And subsequently, while working in the tax police, his career growth did not stop.

The beginning of the biography
On February 23, in the city of Baku, Georgy Poltavchenko was born in 1953. The parents of a famous Russian figure were from Leningrad. George's father, being an officer of the Navy of the USSR, served in those years in the Caspian fleet. The family of Poltavchenko lived in Baku until 1960, after which they returned to Leningrad again. After moving to his hometown for ten years, Georgy Sergeevich Poltavchenko studied at school No. 211 with a physical and mathematical bias. The biography of his school years did not differ in special interest, in comparison with the student period of his life.
In 1970, Poltavchenko graduated from high school and entered the Aviation Instrument-Making Institute in Leningrad, where he studies until graduation. In 1976, having left the institution as a specialist, he did not work for a long time at the Leninets NGO in his specialty. Subsequently, Georgy Poltavchenko transferred to the Komsomol Committee of the Nevsky district of the city of Leningrad. The biography of his post-institutional period of life was already distinguished by its versatility.
Career ladder
From 1979 to the beginning of the 90s, the future governor of St. Petersburg served in the KGB of the USSR. Combining the service, he works for the Leningrad City Council, becoming in 1990 his deputy. The next and very successful round in the career ladder of Georgy Sergeyevich is his work in the tax police of his native city in 1992-1999. The future governor is already leaving the organization as lieutenant general.
In 1999, Georgy Poltavchenko was appointed ambassador to the first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, in the Leningrad Region. And in 2000, Vladimir Putin, as head of state, appointed him envoy to the CFR.
In 2008, Dmitry Medvedev came to the presidency of the Russian Federation. He is the one who nominates Georgy Sergeyevich for the post of governor at a meeting of the Legislative Assembly. The candidacy was not considered too long. And in August 2011, by a majority vote of the Legislative Assembly, Poltavchenko became governor of St. Petersburg.
Scandalous dissertation
Historically, circumstances have evolved in such a way that not one of the most famous figures managed to avoid all kinds of scandalous situations. In the midst of the scandal was George Poltavchenko. Its essence is a plagiaristic approach when writing a dissertation on the principles of interaction between business and the state. In his own dissertation, about 152 pages turned out to be dubious in terms of uniqueness.
Participation in Orthodoxy
Georgy Sergeevich Poltavchenko is one of the active leaders in resolving issues of Russian Orthodoxy. The governor has known firsthand about church life since childhood. As a child, regularly attending services, he was deeply imbued with the spirit of Orthodoxy. His deep faith in God did not affect his career growth and professional activity. And already in the nineties, Georgy Poltavchenko took part in a number of activities to restore the shrine of Orthodoxy - the monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos, the monastery on the island of Valaam and many others.
