The fifth Minister of Transport of Russia, who previously headed the government department of industry and infrastructure under the Russian government, comes from Northern Palmyra. Maxim Yuryevich Sokolov, having assumed the position, called the key task of the department the creation of an integrated security system for Russians in transport. Whether the statesman managed to achieve what he declared when he assumed the duties of a minister, the opinions of citizens differ.
Childhood and youth
The future VIP official was born in September 1968 in the city on the Neva in a family of doctors. Maxim pleased his parents with "fives", and teachers with discipline and diligence. At school, from the first grades, Sokolov was active in public life. He was entrusted with leading the pioneer squad, and in the senior class, the guy headed the pioneer headquarters of the city.

Ex-Minister of Transport Sokolov returns to St. Petersburg. He was predicted to take the place of Poltavchenko, and Andrei Molchanov called to LSR. The ex-official will be responsible for the strategy, but what he will live on is another question.
Former Transport Maxim Sokolov has been nominated as a candidate for the Board of Directors of LSR Group. The annual meeting of shareholders of the country's largest construction holding is scheduled for June 29. It will be a curiosity if, following its results, Sokolov is not declared a member of the Council, or even an entire chairman.
The Day of the Builder is as close to the 49-year-old Petersburger Maxim Sokolov as the Day of the Railwayman or the Day of the Worker of the Sea and River Fleet. This is only the last six years of his career, which is clearly connected with the transport industry. And in 2004, 36-year-old Sokolov came to Smolny from a construction site. He is one of the three founders of the now liquidated C Corporation. The nineteenth letter of the Russian alphabet is kind to the hearts of all three - Maxim Sokolov, Vasily Sopromadze, Nikolai Sergeenko.
It was "Corporation C" that built the building of the Consulate General of Finland on Preobrazhenskaya Square and the club "House on Manezhnaya Square" with a monument to Ivan Turgenev in the front garden. The company's most famous project is the "House on the Fontanka" opposite the Engineering Castle. Actually, the Sokolov family is close to one of the five-room apartments of this status four-story building.
Everything in this building really breathes with success. The First House on the Fontanka remembers the steps of the top banker and wife of the ex-chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Tamara Stepashina, businessman Dmitry Lutsenko, who together with Sergei "who does not have a billion" Polonsky created the Mirax Group, the chairman of the board of directors of the "Imperial Porcelain Factory" Galina Tsvetkova, former vice-governor of Ugra Vyacheslav Novitsky, vice-president of the IST group of companies Nikolai Dobrinov and many other VIPs.
By the way, on the facade of the "House on the Fontanka" there is a sign from the memorable and anniversary year for St. Petersburg in 2003. where you can find the name of the future, as suggested by 47news, a member of the board of directors of LSR.
The fact that Maxim Sokolov may lose the portfolio of the Minister of Transport has been said for a long time. And on May 7, Vladimir Putin took office as President of the Russian Federation for the fourth time, hosted the parade of the Kremlin Presidential Regiment. We add from 47news that Sokolov's eldest son, Maxim Maksimovich, knows perfectly well what it's like to ride in hussar dress uniform along the Kremlin's Cathedral Square. But in the end, Maxim Sokolov Sr. really didn’t turn out to be.
At the same time, Sokolov, even when he was a minister, was stubbornly wooed for the governor of St. Petersburg. Every next rumor about the upcoming, impending and simply inevitable resignation of Georgy Poltavchenko was bound to be linked with his last name. Any visit of Maxim Yurievich to St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region was accompanied by speculation about negotiations, interviews and reconnaissance, and so on. At the same time, Sokolov is not that of the St. Petersburg elites - he is from the Leningrad. Back in 1982, on Palace Square, the chairman of the city pioneer headquarters, Maxim Sokolov, reported to the first secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, Valentina Matvienko. And the middle son of Sokolov - Roman - also knows what the breath of large Petersburg spaces is like. A pupil of the football school "Zenith" Roman Sokolov was one of the boys who led the main team of blue-white-blue to the field of "Petrovsky" from the premises under the stands.
And the origin of Maxim Sokolov's return from Moscow to the LSR headquarters in St. Petersburg is also in Leningrad times, only university ones. It was within the walls of Leningrad State University that Sokolov met the future owner of the LSR and ex-senator from the Leningrad Region Andrei Molchanov.
“The faculties are different, but the years of study are the same, some are older, some are younger. Our friendship is from the university. There were many funny cases, but I won’t tell you about them. Molchanov and Sokolov know each other very well. Maxim Yuryevich can be useful to "LSR" as a state burden. Only the board of directors is not an executive body. It's like a public chamber, a supervisory board or an areopagus, or something. That is, Sokolov will not go to work in LSR and fire people "Behind him is strategic development. And it is comfortable to communicate with him. He is a decent, good person," one of the founders of LSR, who remembers Maxim Sokolov as a student at Zhdanov Leningrad State University, told 47news.
At the same time, Sokolov was expected not only in Smolny. Kommersant's sources sent the retired transport minister to the boards of directors of two state-owned companies, Transneft and Aeroflot. The option with main oil pipelines looked preferable. Still, the collapse with VIM-Avia in September 2017 is still memorable, when the clients of the bankrupt airline could not return to Russia from tours. Vladimir Putin then announced to the minister about incomplete official compliance. They removed the disciplinary sanction from Sokolov the day before the inauguration. It may be funny, but the work book is nice.
Minister Sokolov was criticized for introducing the "Platon" system of collecting tolls on federal highways. There were complaints about the construction of the next Moscow "ring" - the Central Ring Road. The deadlines for the construction of a new high-speed highway M-11 Petersburg - Moscow were not met. The track was supposed to appear for the World Cup, and now they are talking about the launch of traffic in December 2018.

Sokolov's colleagues in the government of the Russian Federation, who did not get into the new cabinet, are also finding jobs. Arkady Dvorkovich, who left the post of Deputy Prime Minister, has already been elected co-chairman of the board of the Skolkovo Innovation Fund, and former First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov has been appointed head of Vnesheconombank. Ex-Minister of Construction Mikhail Men aims to be presidential envoy in the Central Federal District, and ex-Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev may head Rosselkhozbank.
But Sokolov got a construction airfield. He is native and durable. In 2017, the revenue of PJSC LSR Group amounted to 138.5 billion rubles. The company plans to launch five projects of apart-hotels and build up housing on the southern part of the alluvium on Vasilyevsky Island. There is a transport project - a private tram in the Krasnogvardeisky district. But again, the paths lead to LSR facilities in the Rzhevka-Porohovye area. In 2014, a group on the territory of the former Rzhevka airport in the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region.
Delivery is also carried out from LSR quarries. The group has six sand pits in the Leningrad Region: Vorontsovskoye, Apraksin Bor, Manushkino, Kvartal 50, Brusova Gora and Kallelovo.
Note that we were not the first to say that Sokolov was not the first to come to LSR from the corridors of power. In 2010, Alexander Vakhmistrov, the construction ex-vice-governor of St. Petersburg, took the position of General Director and Chairman of the Board of the LSR. In a conversation with 47news, Vakhmistrov expressed absolute confidence that the initiative to invite Sokolov to LSR came personally from Molchanov. Long-standing friendship for the construction patriarch of St. Petersburg, of course, is not a secret.
"I also came to LSR from power. When an official comes into business, they always say that he will lobby for someone's interests. But if you are in a company, then you must protect its interests. When I came to LSR, I got the impression that I have worked in the company all my life. Everything is like in Smolny. Issues of development, urban planning. And the remuneration in the Board of Directors is insignificant. I did not receive it at all, because I was also the general director, "Alexander Vakhmistrov told 47news.

An excerpt characterizing Sokolov, Maxim Yurievich (statesman)
- What does this one drive in front of the line? Someone shouted at him again.“Take the left, take the right,” they shouted to him. Pierre took to the right and unexpectedly moved in with the adjutant of General Raevsky, whom he knew. This adjutant looked angrily at Pierre, obviously intending to shout at him too, but, recognizing him, nodded his head to him.
– How are you here? he said and rode on.
Pierre, feeling out of place and idle, afraid to interfere with someone again, galloped after the adjutant.
- It's here, right? May I come with you? he asked.
“Now, now,” the adjutant answered and, jumping up to the fat colonel who was standing in the meadow, handed something to him and then turned to Pierre.
“Why did you come here, Count?” he told him with a smile. Are you all curious?
“Yes, yes,” said Pierre. But the adjutant, turning his horse, rode on.
“Here, thank God,” said the adjutant, “but on Bagration’s left flank there is a terrible frying going on.
– Really? Pierre asked. – Where is it?
- Yes, let's go with me to the mound, you can see from us. And it’s still tolerable with us on the battery, ”said the adjutant. - Well, are you going?
“Yes, I am with you,” said Pierre, looking around him and looking for his bereator with his eyes. Here, only for the first time, Pierre saw the wounded, wandering on foot and carried on a stretcher. On the same meadow with fragrant rows of hay, through which he had passed yesterday, across the rows, awkwardly turning his head, lay motionless one soldier with a fallen shako. Why didn't they bring it up? - Pierre began; but, seeing the stern face of the adjutant, who looked back in the same direction, he fell silent.
Pierre did not find his bereytor and, together with the adjutant, rode down the hollow to the Raevsky barrow. Pierre's horse lagged behind the adjutant and shook him evenly.
- You, apparently, are not used to riding, count? the adjutant asked.
“No, nothing, but she jumps a lot,” Pierre said in bewilderment.
- Eh! .. yes, she was wounded, - said the adjutant, - right front, above the knee. Bullet must be. Congratulations, Count,” he said, “le bapteme de feu [baptism by fire].
Passing through the smoke along the sixth corps, behind the artillery, which, pushed forward, fired, deafening with its shots, they arrived at a small forest. The forest was cool, quiet and smelled of autumn. Pierre and the adjutant dismounted from their horses and walked up the mountain.
Is the general here? asked the adjutant, approaching the mound.
“We were just now, let’s go here,” they answered him, pointing to the right.
The adjutant looked back at Pierre, as if not knowing what to do with him now.
"Don't worry," said Pierre. - I'll go to the mound, can I?
- Yes, go, everything is visible from there and not so dangerous. And I'll pick you up.
Pierre went to the battery, and the adjutant rode on. They did not see each other again, and much later Pierre learned that this adjutant's arm had been torn off that day.
The barrow that Pierre entered was that famous one (later known by the Russians under the name of the kurgan battery, or Raevsky battery, and by the French under the name la grande redoute, la fatale redoute, la redoute du center [large redoubt, fatal redoubt, central redoubt ] a place around which tens of thousands of people were laid and which the French considered the most important point of the position.
This redoubt consisted of a mound, on which ditches were dug on three sides. In a place dug in by ditches stood ten firing cannons protruding through the openings of the ramparts.
Cannons stood in line with the mound on both sides, also firing incessantly. A little behind the cannons were infantry troops. Entering this mound, Pierre never thought that this place dug in with small ditches, on which several cannons stood and fired, was the most important place in the battle.
Pierre, on the contrary, it seemed that this place (precisely because he was on it) was one of the most insignificant places of the battle.
Entering the mound, Pierre sat down at the end of the ditch surrounding the battery, and with an unconsciously joyful smile looked at what was happening around him. Occasionally, Pierre would get up with the same smile and, trying not to interfere with the soldiers loading and rolling the guns, who constantly ran past him with bags and charges, walked around the battery. The cannons from this battery continuously fired one after another, deafening with their sounds and covering the whole neighborhood with gunpowder smoke.
In contrast to the eerie feeling between the infantry soldiers of the covering, here, on the battery, where a small number of people engaged in business are white limited, separated from others by a ditch, here one felt the same and common to all, as if family animation.
The appearance of the non-military figure of Pierre in a white hat first struck these people unpleasantly. The soldiers, passing by him, looked with surprise and even fear at his figure. The senior artillery officer, a tall, pockmarked man with long legs, as if in order to look at the action of the last gun, approached Pierre and looked at him curiously.
A young, round-faced officer, still a perfect child, obviously just released from the corps, disposing of the two guns entrusted to him very diligently, turned sternly to Pierre.
“Sir, let me ask you out of the way,” he said to him, “it’s not allowed here.
The soldiers shook their heads disapprovingly, looking at Pierre. But when everyone was convinced that this man in a white hat not only did nothing wrong, but either sat quietly on the slope of the rampart, or with a timid smile, courteously avoiding the soldiers, walked along the battery under the shots as calmly as along the boulevard, then little by little, a feeling of unfriendly bewilderment towards him began to turn into affectionate and playful participation, similar to that which soldiers have for their animals: dogs, roosters, goats, and in general animals living with military teams. These soldiers immediately mentally accepted Pierre into their family, appropriated and gave him a nickname. “Our master” they called him and they affectionately laughed about him among themselves.
The brilliant career of the current Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Sokolov Maxim Yuryevich, perhaps, can be envied. This man really achieved real success in the political and economic field. Now his activities are attracting more and more attention due to the activity, initiative and brilliant leadership qualities of the politician.
Biography of Sokolov Maxim Yurievich
The future politician was born on September 29, 1968 in St. Petersburg. He was brought up in a family of doctors. While still a schoolboy, the boy stood out for his activity. For example, at school, Maxim led a pioneer organization, and in high school he headed a whole staff of pioneers in Leningrad. By the way, it is noteworthy that it was during this period of his life that Sokolov met the current chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko. At that time, the girl led the regional committee of the Komsomol.
Sokolov's education
Maxim's parents really wanted their son to follow in their footsteps and become a doctor, but his choice fell on another profession. Sokolov settled on the Leningrad State University named after A. A. Zhdanov, having graduated from the Faculty of Law for a start. In 1987, Maxim had to suspend his studies for military service. But then Sokolov very quickly caught up with the program and resumed the lost knowledge. The young guy passed the last year program as an external student and graduated from the Faculty of Economics at the same university in 1991. Having received a red diploma, Maxim Yuryevich took the position of a teacher of macroeconomics at his native faculty. Sokolov worked at the university for 2 years.
It was at the university that Maxim made many acquaintances with the future leaders of Russia. As a Komsomol organizer, he attended meetings led by Vladimir Putin, who at that time was still an assistant to the rector. And one of his favorite subjects - jurisprudence - Sokolov studied at the lectures of Dmitry Medvedev, who was a simple teacher.
Carier start
In addition to working at the university, Maxim Yuryevich, together with his friend, was engaged in commercial activities. In 1992, Sokolov founded and headed the Rossi-Service company, which was engaged in the development of security systems, construction, international logistics and technical supply of facilities.
In 1997, Maxim Yuryevich became a member of the board of an alumni association called "Commonwealth" at his native economics faculty. At first, Sokolov gave preference to Komsomol work. However, he soon realized that this area was no longer promising and moved into the field of business. Just a couple of years later, Sokolov and two partners organized the company "Corporation C", which specialized in the dismantling of structures.
Soon this company was at the center of numerous scandals due to the construction of elite buildings in the historic center of the city. This is what caused a lot of protests from local residents and special bodies for the protection of architectural monuments. According to some sources, Sokolov is the main culprit in the significant change in the historical landscape of St. Petersburg. Many believe that the damage caused to the city during the urban development projects of the current Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation can be compared with the change in Leningrad during the blockade.
But after Maxim left for the civil service, the company closed, and the passions around the company subsided. Even during the leadership of his own company in 2003, Maxim Yuryevich received the position of Deputy President in the Association of House Builders and Manufacturers of Building Materials of St. Petersburg.
And in 2004, as a successful entrepreneur, Sokolov moved to the civil service in the administration of St. Petersburg. Many say that it was an old friend Valentina Matvienko who helped Maxim settle in a new place. At the same time, he received the position of chairman of the investment and strategic projects committee, where he worked for 5 years.
Career
In early 2008, the statesman defended his PhD thesis. And already in December of the following year, Maxim Yuryevich was included in the presidential program for training leaders. And very soon Sokolov was appointed head of the committee on trade, industrial policy and economic development of St. Petersburg.
Thanks to the successful performance of duties in the position received, very soon Maxim received a new offer: to go to the federal government and work under the leadership of the president himself. Having received an invitation, Sokolov took the post of head of the department of infrastructure and industry. And already in 2012, his impetuous career reached its peak - Putin appointed Maxim Yuryevich Sokolov as Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation.
Sokolov singled out among the priorities of his activity the reduction of the role of the state in the activities of transport companies, the stimulation of the development of air transportation, the increase in the comfort and safety of means of transportation, as well as the simplification of access for disabled people to transport.
Interestingly, before being appointed president to such a high position, Sokolov had never even encountered the transport sector. That is, he is certainly not a professional in this area. Maxim's only experience is supervising the reconstruction of Pulkovo International Airport. But even in this project, the role of Sokolov was insignificant - the allocation of budget funds for construction.
Achievements and awards
Among other things, Maxim Yuryevich was repeatedly noted and awarded by the government of the Russian Federation. In 2010, Sokolov was awarded the first-class rank of state adviser. In 2008, Maxim was awarded the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland. Also in his arsenal there is a chest worker of transport of the Russian Federation.
Sokolov's personal life

By the way, the wife of Maxim Yuryevich Sokolov lives outside of Russia, which has repeatedly aroused the interest of the press in the personality of Tatyana Alekseevna. The couple have three sons. Before her marriage to Maxim, Tatyana worked for several years at the US Embassy, located in the Russian capital.
In hours free from political activity, Maxim prefers to hunt, relax in ski resorts. Sokolov calls show jumping another of his hobbies.
