On Friday, August 3, 2018, a meeting was held with the heads of municipalities via video conference to prepare for the upcoming 2018-2019 heating season with the participation of the Head of the Republic of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov. In general, about 1.2 billion rubles have been allocated for preparation for the heating season in the republic. Including 200 million rubles, additionally allocated from the budget with the support of the Head of the Republic of Buryatia as assistance to areas in preparation for the heating season. “Let me remind you once again that we have begun to help districts prepare for the heating season. This year, 200 million are also being sent to the regions to carry out work on the preparation of boiler houses and networks. Our task is to ensure full readiness to ensure that our people are warm, without accidents, and that the temperature in their homes is maintained at all times. Avoid what happened last year in Severobaikalsk, where the temperature was lowered. We must have everything ready regarding networks, fuel reserves, and all other issues,” Alexey Tsydenov began the meeting. Currently, the repair campaign is behind schedule in four districts: Muisky, Selenginsky, Tunkinsky and Kabansky. Difficulties were caused by a change in resource supply organizations and insufficient funding (this issue was resolved due to the allocation of additional funds). The issue of the backlog was considered at all meetings of the Commission under the Government of the Republic of Buryatia to resolve issues of control over the preparation and passage of heat and power facilities, housing and communal services and the budgetary sector for the autumn-winter period, which have been taking place since May of this year. “We have given instructions to speed up work before the start of the heating season. By the beginning of the heating season they will all be ready. All 516 boiler houses will be repaired - some are overhauled, others will undergo ongoing repairs. All networks - water supply, sewerage, heating - will be prepared for the heating season,” said Sergei Bannikov, Deputy Minister of Construction and Modernization of the Housing and Communal Complex of the Republic of Buryatia. In the republic as a whole, as of August 1, the average share of readiness of boiler houses in municipalities is 49.7%, with a planned level of 60%. Heating networks are completed by 63.4% against the planned level of 65%. The percentage of readiness of water supply networks is 59.4% out of 60%, the housing stock is 50.9% out of 60%. The greatest deviation of municipalities from target indicators was recorded during the disbursement of financial resources allocated for repair work and the formation of standard fuel reserves. The average indicator for the disbursement of financial resources is 32.7%. To date, the standard coal reserves have been fully formed in three municipalities - Zakamensky, Kyakhtinsky, Severo-Baikalsky districts, which is 20.4% of all districts of the republic. The main reasons for the lag of other regions in the formation of standard fuel reserves are the debt for previously supplied fuel and the lack of concluded agreements for the supply of fuel. This issue was also repeatedly considered at meetings of the Commission; instructions were given to pay off the debt and announce tenders for the subsequent conclusion of an agreement for the supply of fuel for the 2018-2019 heating season. Throughout the past heating season, Eravninsky, Kyakhtinsky, Mukhorshibirsky districts and the city of Ulan-Ude made timely payments for the supplied fuel. Since the end of the 2017-2018 heating season, the republic has seen a decrease in debt by 93.2 million rubles or 63%. The enterprises of Bichursky, Ivolginsky, Kurumkansky, Mukhorshibirsky, Pribaikalsky, Selenginsky, Khorinsky districts and the city of Severobaikalsk made full payment for previously supplied fuel. Measures have also been taken to reduce the debt incurred by enterprises in the Barguzinsky, Bauntovsky, Dzhidinsky, Zaigraevsky, Kabansky, and Kizhinginsky districts. For other municipalities, the level of debt remained the same. As of August 1, 2018, the debt of housing and communal services enterprises for fuel amounts to 53.6 million rubles. The Head of the Republic of Buryatia asked the districts to speed up work and not allow delays on schedule.

A caricature of the head and first lady of Buryatia appeared in a well-known federal publication

At the beginning of the year, the first wave of resignations of governors swept across the country, in which. In September, power was renewed in 17 regions of the country. The head of Buryatia became Alexey Tsydenov, who for six months led the region with the prefix and. O. After the elections, the rotation of the gubernatorial corps continued. In a couple of weeks, the heads of 11 regions changed.

Last week, Komsomolskaya Pravda published an article dedicated to the “other halves” of the acting governors, who create comfort and a strong rear for the new appointees. As it turned out, the chosen one of the “temporary” head of the Oryol region Andrei Klychkov, Valeria, was born and raised in Ulan-Ude and graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute. In the near future, she and her children must move from the capital following her husband. There are already legends about the extraterrestrial beauty of this blue-eyed blonde in Orel.

A similar publication appeared the day before on the FederalPress news agency website. The publication calls the wives of the newly elected and “temporary” heads “Decembrists of the 21st century.” Fashion models, businesswomen, housewives and simply faithful companions - they are ready to follow their husbands to any point on the map of Russia and exchange the splendor of metropolitan life for the status of the first lady of the region. Among them is the wife of the head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov, Irina Viktorovna, “known throughout the republic not for scandals, but for her exemplary image.”

She is a housewife and mother of many children. Has three sons and a daughter. Alexey and Irina met back in their student years. Tsydenov owes much of his success in his native land to his wife, - writes FederalPress news agency. - It was she who forced her husband to learn the Buryat language.

Irina Tsydenova herself admitted that there were conversations about this both before and after the wedding.

After all, they are drilling. He has wonderful parents. Dad, Sambu Tsydenovich, and grandmother know Buryat perfectly. When we met, they often spoke to each other in it. At that time I was still thinking: “How can this be? Everyone in the family speaks, but Alexey doesn’t know his native language.” She immediately began to say that it was imperative to learn it, especially since they, the native speakers, were here. We had these conversations even after the wedding,” the publication quotes her.

In total, the selection includes nine modern “Decembrists”: in addition to Irina Tsydenova, this is the aforementioned “beauty not from magazines” Valeria Klychkova, “Russian Melania Trump” Svetlana Dryga - wife of the governor of the Ivanovo region, “modest housewife” Daria Abramova (Kaliningrad region), “ first love" of Samara Governor Dmitry Azarov - Ellina, "patron of excellent students" Lyudmila Uss (Krasnoyarsk Territory), Tatyana Burkova - wife of the acting head of the Omsk region, Elena Brechalova - chosen one of Alexander Brechalov from Udmurtia (by the way, a lawyer by training) and "obstetrician BMW" Maya Nikitina is the wife of the new head of the Novgorod region.

House on mortgage

Let us remind you that the family of Alexei Tsydenov moved to Ulan-Ude in July. Before this, the new head of the region told ATV: when his relatives move to Ulan-Ude, he may quit working on weekends.

My wife is currently a housewife and will look after the children, because the youngest is only nine months old. Here some other type of activity is difficult,” emphasized Alexey Tsydenov. - Maybe I will spend less time at work, for example, on Sunday I will be with my family. As a rule, when my wife is at home, my productivity increases.

By the way, soon after arriving in Buryatia, Tsydenov started thinking about buying his own home.

“For how many years I worked in government agencies, I never received a housing subsidy, anywhere - neither on the railway, nor in the Ministry of Transport, nor in the government apparatus,” he admitted.

When Alexey Tsydenov and his wife lived in Khabarovsk, they moved from place to place ten times - either because of increased rental prices or for other reasons.

We had already completed the move. In Moscow we bought an apartment with a mortgage, although it was already closed. What it is, I experienced it myself. I feel that I will have the happiness of a mortgage here too,” said the head.

As the site learned, the head of Buryatia recently took out a mortgage, as promised. The Tsydenov family became the owner of a house on Verkhnyaya Berezovka with a land plot of 7.5 acres.

Name: Tsydenov Alexey Sambuevich Date of birth: March 16, 1976 Place of birth: Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky, USSR Position: head of Buryatia

Hereditary railway worker

The future head of Buryatia was born in the Chita region, in the city of Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky. The Tsydenov family are hereditary railway workers, both on the father’s and mother’s side. It is known that her grandfather, Dorofey Shutyuk, worked on the railway in Harbin in 1904.

Father, Sambu Tsydenovich, also connected his life with the railway, received the title of Candidate of Technical Sciences, and raised three sons - Alexei, Pavel and Nikolai. Mother worked as an economist. Now the elder Tsydenovs live in Khabarovsk.

Education

Initially, nothing foreshadowed that the son would not follow in the footsteps of his grandfathers and great-grandfathers. He naturally continued the dynasty, entering the Far Eastern State University of Transport after graduating from school in Chita. He chose the organization of transportation and management of railway transport as his specialty - these skills clearly came in handy later.

At the university, Tsydenov was known as an activist - he was the leader of the trade union and worked in the department of socio-economic development of the university. During the holidays he worked as a conductor on the Borzya-Moscow train.

From Russian Railways to private owners

After graduating from university, he entered the Far Eastern Railway - first as an accountant, then as a sector head and as a department head. In 2002, he headed Dalneftetrans LLC, and in 2004 he took the position of general director of Far Eastern Transport Group OJSC (DVTG OJSC).

It is worth telling more about this company, although this is usually not done. OJSC DVTG is one of the first independent railway operators in Russia and has united two companies - CJSC Dalneftetrans and Dallestrans. The firms were engaged in the transportation of oil and timber, respectively. Both companies were founded by the famous businesswoman Raisa Parshina in partnership with Yuri Goliusov (Parshina is still the chairman of the board of directors, Goliusov became an adviser to the general director on general issues).

The years when OJSC Far Eastern Transport Group was headed by Tsydenov were happy for the company. Representative offices were opened in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, the Republic of Korea, and also in London. In 2006, the company acquired 88.93 percent of the shares of the Nakhodka sea fishing port.

In government

JSC DVTG was severely crippled by the crisis of 2008, when there was a sharp reduction in container cargo transportation. But Tsydenov was no longer there. In 2006, he went to work for the Russian government. Either Parshina decided to push her man into power structures, or the officials lured away a talented manager.

The former general director became deputy head of the Department of State Policy in the Field of Railway Transport of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. Three years later he became the head of the department, then deputy director of the Department of Industry and Infrastructure of the Russian Government. In 2010, Alexey Tsydenov was included in the personnel reserve of the President of Russia. In 2011, the promising official underwent retraining at the Russian Academy.

In 2012, Tsydenov headed the Federal Agency for Railway Transport for about six months. And then he became Deputy Minister of Transport. This is the “ceiling” of his career in the federal government today.

And one more thing: in 2016, the former head of an independent company engaged in railway freight transportation became a member of the directors of Russian Railways OJSC.

Metis

Back in 2015, the media wrote that the president’s personnel register does not include a single person who would represent Buryatia (some believed that the then head of the republic, Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn, was clearing out the space around him so that there would be no competitors).

However, Buryats by nationality were still on this list. More precisely, a mestizo - this is how Alexey Tsydenov himself described himself in one of his interviews. His father is Buryat, his mother is Russian.

In the passport of a citizen of the USSR, where his nationality was indicated, Tsydenov was recorded as a Buryat. But he had never been to the Republic of Buryatia, and even if he knew the language, he had forgotten it.

And yet, three years ago they wrote that Tsydenov could become the next head of Buryatia. On an all-Russian scale, he was ideal - of suitable nationality, absolutely Russian aspirations and upbringing. Whichever way you look at it, you can’t find fault.

The predictions came true on February 7, 2017, when the President of Russia appointed Alexei Tsydenov as the acting head of Buryatia “until the person elected as the head of the Republic of Buryatia takes office.” Naturally, he won the elections in September of the same year with an overwhelming advantage, gaining 87.43% of the vote.

National traditions

In addition to Buryat and Russian, Alexei Tsydenov also has Circassian blood flowing in his veins, and his wife’s grandmother is Jewish. Therefore, he treats questions of nationality accordingly - with such a mixture of blood, who (and why?) should we count the children?

Maybe that’s why the main promoter of national Buryat culture in the Tsydenov family is not the head of the republic, but his wife. After his appointment to the post, Alexey Sambuevich himself once spoke about this - he insists that he learn Buryat and even set a deadline.

For some time this was the only thing the general public knew about Tsydenov’s “second half”. However, Irina Viktorovna decided to come out of the shadows and gave a long interview in which she told what she considered necessary about herself. Including the fact that the Tsydenov family celebrates national Buryat holidays. The consultant is Alexei Sambuevich's aunt.

Irina Viktorovna learned how to cook a popular national dish, buuzy - steamed pies filled with meat and onions. The house even has a Buddhist altar - gungarba.

The piquancy of the situation is that Alexey Tsydenov himself was baptized in the Orthodox Church. Whether he is formally a believer, who only visits both the temple and the Ivolginsky datsan out of duty, whether dual faith is practiced in the family, or whether the husband and wife separated peacefully on a religious issue, is unknown. And in general, this, of course, is their business.

Reliable rear

By education, Tsydenov’s wife is a doctor, and by position, she is a housewife. Alexey and Irina got married while still students, and their eldest son was born at the same time.

The interests of her husband almost immediately became paramount - the couple moved from Chita to the Far East, so Irina entered the medical academy in Chita, and graduated from a similar educational institution in Khabarovsk.

She completed her residency in Moscow, received the specialty of phthisiopulmonologist, and worked with Professor Stakhanov. And then the second son was born. And at some point, my husband suggested - let’s take care of the family, and I’ll provide it with financial support. Not without hesitation, Irina agreed - and, as she later said, she realized herself “in the field of everyday life, children and a reliable rear.”

Even the opportunity to implement certain projects, taking advantage of the position of the first lady of the republic, Irina Tsydenova approaches with caution - they say, the children are accustomed to their mother being always nearby.

Children

There are four children in the Tsydenov family. The eldest son, Ilya, studies at the Bauman University - as his mother noted, he deliberately chose a specialty different from his father’s. The middle one, Georgiy, is the most positive and always smiles. The youngest - Leo - is very small, he was born in 2016.

There is also a daughter, Kira. Her appearance turned out to be a pleasant surprise - usually the Tsydenovs give birth to boys. As the mother said, the child is fighting, but in moderation.

And to the journalist’s question whether parents ever argue about raising children, Irina Viktorovna answered laconically. “And when you argue with him, he’s not at home.”

Income

Tsydenov’s income over the last three years has been approximately the same - about 3.5 million rubles. The wife, unlike some other housewives, does not have any millions. True, they appeared in the declaration for last year - 4,143,424 rubles. However, two apartments disappeared from the document. Apparently, the Tsydenovs got rid of their property.

Usually, the income of the wife of the head of Buryatia is extremely insignificant - in 2015 it was just over 23 thousand rubles. Apparently, child benefits.

Ulan-Ude is not Mongolia

On the eve of the elections in 2017, Kommersant journalists made a trip to the regions where voting for new heads of subjects was to take place. In Buryatia, as noted, Tsydenova, who had never lived in the republic, diligently immersed himself in local specifics. And she is quite exotic.

Alexey Tsydenov met with the head of the Buddhist Traditional Sangha of Russia, Khambo Lama Damba Ayusheev, a few days after his appointment. As he noted, the task of the lamas is to help Tsydenov. And also punish him if he makes a mistake.

How exactly this is implemented in practice is not entirely clear. But most likely, Tsydenov is concerned about completely different issues. For example, the pleasant fact that Ulan-Ude (no, it’s not in Mongolia!!) won the online voting for the title of “Startup Capital of Russia 2018.” In April, venture investors will come to the republic to discuss new ideas with entrepreneurs. Traditions are traditions, and modernity dictates its own rules. To which Tsydenov has fully adapted.

On July 8, the All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity was celebrated at the Buryat State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater. On this day at the event, the central attention of the audience was focused on the family of Alexei Tsydenov.

Alexey Sambuevich introduced his wife Irina to the public for the first time. They are raising four children. The eldest son is already studying at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the middle one has completed the 5th grade, and the daughter is in the first grade. The couple's youngest child is not even a year old. As already mentioned in the media, the Tsydenov family arrived in the republic at the end of June.

On this significant day, the acting head of the republic noted that family is his main value. He tries to devote more time to people dear to his heart.

Joint education of children, our future, is a unique path, an eternal value,” noted Alexey Tsydenov.

And in her exclusive interview for the local publication “Number One”, Irina Tsydenova spoke for the first time about life together, about priorities, about the most important thing in the family of the possible future head of Buryatia.

– Irina Viktorovna, hello! Please tell us about yourself. What city were you born in? In what family?

– I was born in Chita. In an ordinary happy family. I am the second child, I have an older brother. Like all Soviet children, they went to kindergarten. I graduated from physics and mathematics school. There, in Chita, she entered the medical academy. In my third year I met Alexey and got married. As students, we moved to Khabarovsk. There she graduated from the Far Eastern State Medical University. I completed my residency in Moscow at the Second Medical University. I am a phthisiopulmonologist, I worked with the wonderful Professor Stakhanov. And then the children were born. Our first child was born in Chita, and in 2005, Georgy was born to us. Then Alexey suggested: “Let you take full care of your daily life and family, and I will think less about the house and take care of my daily bread.”

– Was it difficult for you to decide to give up your own career?

– Now, as the first lady of the republic, you can realize yourself in other areas.

– I look at this opportunity positively. But I prefer to do anything thoroughly and well. Doing it “satisfactorily” or poorly is not for me. I am a perfectionist; if I do something, it means that it must be completed. All projects need to be thought through deeply first. And here the question arises: will I have enough time to do this and will the children be left without proper attention? Our children are accustomed to the fact that their mother is always there, that they can solve everything with their mother and discuss any problems. Therefore, a balance will need to be found.

– How did you meet Alexey Sambuevich? How old were you and how did he captivate you?

– All acquaintances are banal. We are no different from others. We met as students. He studied at the Transbaikal Railway Institute, I studied at the Medical Academy. They often spent time together as a group and relaxed. Everything was always organized and fun for them. Apparently because Alexey studied there. He invited the guys to picnics, they celebrated holidays together, went to museums. But I practically didn’t have that much free time - I had school, big heavy books that definitely needed to be read. But by some miracle the stars aligned. Alexey and I met by chance at my mother’s friend’s place. Her daughter studied with Alexei and was friends with his closest friend.

– Was it love at first sight?

“I didn’t think about it then, I only had studies and a career on my mind.” Then it turned out that he had seen me before, we lived in the same area.

– Is it really on your initiative that Alexey Sambuevich is now learning the Buryat language? Why is this so important to you?

- Still, they are drilling. He has wonderful parents. Dad, Sambu Tsydenovich, and grandmother know the Buryat language perfectly. When we met, they often spoke to each other in Buryat. At that time I was still thinking: “How can this be? Everyone in the family speaks, but Alexey doesn’t know his native language.” Alexei immediately began telling him that he had to learn it, especially since here they were, native speakers. We had these conversations after the wedding.

– Do you follow Buryat traditions? Celebrating national holidays?

- Of course, we celebrate. I support all traditions in the family. We have a Buddhist altar at home - gungarba. I regularly call Alexei’s aunt, if I don’t understand something, she enlightens me on this matter. We celebrate Sagaalgan, I make buuzas with a bang. Recently Alexei’s sister came, we made buuzas with her, and gave her a test. She praised me and said that I was doing great.

–You have four children - this is a feat in our time.

- There is nothing difficult here. It’s difficult with the first one, but with the second, third, fourth it’s no longer difficult. The most important thing is regime and discipline, that’s all. Children must follow the regime, especially in the era of gadgets and computers, from which they cannot be torn away. All our children play with gadgets at strictly defined times, and at the same time, they must first do something for themselves and for the home.

– You are a strict mother, and Alexey Sambuevich is a kind father?

- Of course, kind. Because he doesn't see them much. He misses them terribly, they miss him too, they love him madly. Of course he is everything to them. And I, since I am around 24 hours a day, sometimes play the role of a strict mother, because there must be some kind of teacher. But I always reach an agreement with my children. And if we have come to some kind of agreement, then I ask that if they give a word, they keep that word.

– Please tell us about the children.

– Every mother loves her children and believes that they are the best and dearest to her heart. The eldest son Ilya studies at the Bauman University, this is his dream, he has wanted to go there since the ninth grade. He studies on his own, no one helps him, he deliberately chose a specialty different from his father. He said that he would build his own path in life, he is a very independent child. He has his own opinion and knows how to defend and justify it. I’m proud of him, at 19 years old he’s a great guy. The middle one, Georgy, is also stubborn. He has a sparkle, is mischievous, humorous, and loves to use sharp words. He is the most positive person for us: no matter what happens, he smiles all the time - this is all from Alexey. Including the fact that he never gives up. And our youngest baby, Leo, is still very small.

– Which child took after their father? Usually girls look like their father, so does Kira?

– Yes, the Lord gave us one girl, this is such happiness. We didn’t expect her to appear at all, it was a big surprise. In Alexey’s family there are only boys, only his aunt has a daughter - Alexey’s sister, she is the only one, the rest are all brothers. I was already mentally prepared for the fact that we would have a regiment of soldiers. Since Kira is growing up among boys, I won’t say that she is soft and shy. She is growing up with us like a fighting child, but everything is within acceptable limits. I like that she is smart and, most importantly, honest. I always support this in children, so that they are kind, understand what is good and what is bad, be decent, love people regardless of status or material wealth. They just have to love people, because people are the most important thing we have. Sometimes friends can come out of nowhere, but if we treat them badly, they can go nowhere.

– How do you spend your leisure time together?

- Very funny. Alexey doesn’t sit still with us. We always go somewhere, see something, travel somewhere. We have practically no time to sit or lie down. Our vacation is always useful and active. The children are already used to this, they are also active, not homebodies. They should be like that, that's normal. It’s not normal when children are not interested in anything. And when they are inquisitive, when they constantly pull you somewhere - you need to see something, have time to go somewhere - that’s great.

– What was the last time you went out together?

– Alexey and I were at Dasha Namdakov’s exhibition. Later I also took the children there separately, we really liked it. A brilliant artist. When we go on vacation with our children, we love to travel, visit exhibitions and museums. We went to Baikal. Beautiful nature, wonderful people. The children are delighted.

– Do you argue with your husband on some issues related to raising children?

- No. And when you argue with him, he is not at home. Our understanding of human upbringing coincides. The most important thing is that we grow up to be good people - that’s the main thing. Life will fix the rest itself.

– Do you have assistants, nanny?

– We hired a nanny just now, with our fourth child. I couldn’t keep up with anything anymore; I need to pay attention to older children. A wonderful nanny, we found her in Moscow, she is a Kalmyk by nationality. An open, decent person. I can entrust her with the most precious thing - a child.

– Does Alexey Sambuevich consult with you on work issues? Does he talk about problems?

– Very rarely, because the house was created for relaxation. And work should stay at work. When he crosses the threshold of the house, I rarely question him, only in those cases when he looks very sad. If I see that everything is fine, then I don’t have to ask him about work, because otherwise he starts to worry again, gets involved in work, and his mood can deteriorate. Sometimes he asks for advice, I tell him what I think. But he does as he sees fit. I can give some advice, but he has his own head, and I think he uses it very well.

–How do you feel about politics? What should a politician be like?

– Honest to yourself and to people. After all, politics is, first and foremost, elected by the people. There are many situations when politicians bend to events, but it seems to me that one must always, in any situation, remain, first of all, a person in relation to oneself, in relation to others, and adhere to moral principles.

– Sometimes politicians need to get out...

- This is true. But, again, this “twisting” must be within the bounds of what is acceptable, within reason, of honesty. The world always tests your strength, throwing you a lot of different life situations. He's watching how you get out of it. If you come out of the situation with dignity, it’s good. There is always a thin thread that pulls you to a decent exit, and you must use it all the time.

– Alexey Sambuevich is now a public person. How did you feel about this?

– He cannot be a non-public person, he has such charisma. Alexey is very sociable. Due to the fact that he wants to bring a lot of benefit to each of his workplaces, he communicates with so many people from different fields, many people know him. By the way, in Moscow we went to various events together. Therefore, I think that in terms of publicity little has changed, but there has been much more responsibility. He is a "restless" person. He will definitely go and look at the areas several times a year to check whether there have been any changes. I think and believe that everything will be fine. Our wonderful Asia must be reborn so that the whole world knows about Buryatia and its beauty. Let's start with Russia - so that at least they don't say that Ulan-Ude is somewhere in Mongolia. For Buryatia to ring, to be seen and known. Then we’ll move on to promoting the republic in the world—everything has already been outlined in Alexey’s plans. He can do it!
