Konovalov Alexander Vladimirovich is a statesman, lawyer and politician. In addition, he is engaged in scientific activities. In May 2008, by decree of the president, he was appointed to the post of Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation.
Not so long ago it became known that Alexander Konovalov is married and has three children. Previously, nothing was heard about the marital status of a civil servant. In addition, he is an assistant professor of civil law at the Russian Academy of the Ministry of Justice. More about this interesting and talented statesman will be written in this article.
A little about the main thing
Alexander Konovalov was born on June 9, 1968 in the city of St. Petersburg. His father was a sailor. Nothing is known about the mother of the leader. Alexander Konovalov traveled extensively in Russia from early childhood.
In 1985, the latter entered the law faculty of a state university in the city of St. Petersburg. Nevertheless, Konovalov was supposed to leave his studies at the university for a while, because he was drafted into the army in 1986.
After the service, he resumed his studies at the full-time department of the law faculty of the University of St. Petersburg. In 1992, Alexander Konovalov graduated from high school and received a law degree. His career began as an assistant prosecutor in the city of St. Petersburg.
What happened next
Konovalov Alexander Vladimirovich from his youth was a disciplined and responsible person. While working in the prosecutor’s office, he studied in absentia at another university in Moscow and received an Orthodox theological education. In addition, Konovalov taught at the University of St. Petersburg. At the same time, he performed his work well enough, never referred to employment, and wrote scientific articles. Many were surprised that such a man is still not married and does not meet with anyone, although Konovalov himself did not pay attention to anyone. The latter was busy with studies, work and career. Later, he himself said that his family consisted only of a mother and a cat. Dad of the future Minister of Justice Alexander Konovalov died in 2003.
Professional take-off
While working in the prosecutor's office of the city of St. Petersburg Konovalov went through all the steps of the career ladder. Many thought that he had finally settled here. Nevertheless, life turned differently. In 2005, the future Minister of Justice Alexander Konovalov was appointed to the post of prosecutor of Bashkiria. Here he began his professional take-off, because at this post Konovalov began an investigation into the mass beatings of local residents. As it turned out, police officers were engaged in this. As a result of the audit, eight law enforcement officers were brought to trial. In addition, Konovalov dealt with issues related to the privatization of enterprises in the fuel and energy sector of Bashkiria in the early 90s.
After that, the future Minister of Justice became the representative of the president in the Volga Federal District. He was in this position for three years.
Interesting
It should also be noted that Konovalov was familiar with Dmitry Medvedev from his youth. According to information from sources, they studied together at the university at the law faculty in St. Petersburg. In addition, after Medvedev won the presidential election in 2008, Alexander Konovalov was appointed to the post of Minister of Justice. The latter holds this post at the present time.
About personal life
The incumbent minister does not know much. Previously, some people who worked with Konovalov believed that he was a monk, since he did not pay any attention to women. The future Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation, Alexander Konovalov, was only busy with studies and work.
Nevertheless, in 2009 it became known that the civil servant was married and even the happy father of three children. Previously, information about Konovalov’s personal life was hidden from the public. The minister’s wife is Maria Suslina.
Opinion
After the former official Evgenia Vasilyeva was released from the colony in August 2015, many people considered it illegal. Nevertheless, the Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation Alexander Konovalov himself told reporters that he does not see anything illegal in this. Moreover, the department under his control believes that the parole of the former official happened within the framework of the law. Although verification on this issue has not been conducted.
About finance
As you know, the income of public servants is not a secret to society. Thus, according to general information, in 2012, Minister Alexander Konovalov earned a little more than three million rubles. His wife’s income was slightly less.
In addition, it is known that the family owns an apartment with a total area of a little more than 40 square meters. Also spouses rent two cottages. In the personal possession of the family there is an expensive car.
Additional characteristic
Once again, I would like to say about the biography of Alexander Konovalov. After all, this intelligent and talented person has been working conscientiously in his public service all his life. Starting from a young age, he constantly works on himself. Moreover, Konovalov writes various scientific articles and is even a candidate for master of sports in rowing. This once again confirms the fact that the Minister of Justice is a comprehensively developed person. Moreover, Konovalov is a member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. The current minister has state awards.
What else is known
According to rumors, Konovalov professes Orthodoxy and performs all religious rites and even fasts. In addition, it is known that during a serious and difficult work in the prosecutor's office, he wanted to leave for the monastery, which is located on Mount Athos in Greece. However, this did not happen.
In the past
Alexander Konovalov, a photo of the current minister can be seen below, in the early 2000s led the investigation of several high-profile cases. So, according to the results of his official activities, the court sentenced the former governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The latter was found guilty of beating a traffic police officer.
Some sources also have information that Konovalov closed the case of the president of the Euroservice corporation. It is known that Mr. Mirilashvili was accused of killing and kidnapping a person.
Despite the fact that this information is indicated in various sources, you should not consider it completely reliable.
To another position
Initially, they wanted to make Konovalov the deputy head of the Russian bailiff service. Nevertheless, everything turned out a little different. In addition, many thought that Konovalov would take the post of Attorney General, but this also did not happen. But despite all the assumptions, this smart and talented person became the Minister of Justice of Russia.
Conclusion
Konovalov A.V. has been at the post of Minister of Justice for a long time, since May 2008. For all the time this person worked in this position, not a single bad word was said about him. Moreover, he has the rank of state adviser to the Russian Federation.
He wrote two monographs and more than twenty scientific articles on civil law. Konovalov is a true Christian, but he tries not to advertise his religious views. It is also necessary to add that the current Minister of Justice of Russia, while still serving in the prosecutor's office of the city of St. Petersburg, gave lectures to students in Roman and civil law at the university, where he had studied before. Here we can draw a definite conclusion that at the beginning of his career a public servant was well-read and constantly tried to improve his knowledge.
In addition, thanks to his work and constant efforts, he graduated from PSTGU in the city of Moscow. Thus, Konovalov has two higher educations. One of which is legal, and the second Orthodox, theological. In addition, he wrote and defended his thesis and received the title of candidate of legal sciences.
For a long time, information about his personal life was also hidden from prying eyes. Nevertheless, several years ago it became known that Konovalov is a family man, has a wife and 3 children.
