Ryabokon Andrey Alekseevich biography. Andrei Ryabokon: And one talented scoundrel can do more evil...

The Executive Committee of the All-Russian Popular Front in St. Petersburg may be headed by Andrey Ryabokon. The position was vacated the day before, when Oleg Dovganyuk took up his new duties as head of the Kronstadt region. Previously, he was the head of the executive committee.

On Wednesday, April 13, Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko signed documents on the appointment of Oleg Dovganyuk as the head of the administration of the Kronstadt district. On Thursday, Dovganiuk took up his duties.

As a result of this appointment, the post of head of the St. Petersburg executive committee of the All-Russian Popular Front, which since 2013 has been occupied by Oleg Dovganyuk, became vacant. As it became known to the Unspiritual, Andrei Ryabokon, an employee of the St. Petersburg ONF, was appointed acting head. It can be expected that it is he who will take the post of head of the executive committee, that is, in fact, the head of the St. Petersburg branch of the Front.

Ryabokon has been working on the executive committee of the ONF since the spring of 2015. At the same time, he did not previously hold leadership positions in this organization. Thus, the website of the ONF states that the co-chairs of the St. Petersburg branch are ITMO rector Vladimir Vasiliev, the head physician of the City Hospital No. 20 Tatyana Surovtseva, and the co-chair of the St. Petersburg branch of Delovaya Rossiya Vitaly Fateichev. The head of the Audit Commission is Vladimir Derbin, chairman of the Leningrad Federation of Trade Unions. Dovganyuk is still listed as the head of the executive committee. Nothing has been said about Ryabokon on the ONF website yet.

Before joining the ONF, Andrey Ryabokon worked in the office of Svetlana Agapitova, Commissioner for Children's Rights in St. Petersburg. From 2009 to 2014, he was a deputy of the municipal formation of the village of Murino, Vsevolozhsky district, Leningrad region. As a deputy, he applied to the prosecutor's office of the Leningrad region on the fact that, as Ryabokon believed, his authority was exceeded by the head of the council of deputies, Valery Garkavy. Garkavy, together with the employees of the municipality, went on business trips to Western European countries at the expense of the budget. The prosecutor's office then refused to initiate a criminal case, including taking into account the "partial compensation for the damage caused" by Garkavy.

Until 2009, Andrei Ryabokon was an employee of the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights in St. Petersburg, Igor Mikhailov. In 2009, he, along with other employees of the apparatus, participated in the municipal elections in the Vsevolozhsk district (Ryabokon was the only one of Mikhailov's employees who won the elections, he was elected in two municipalities at once - Rakhie and Murino). Participation in the election of employees of the office of the commissioner provoked a loud scandal at that time.

It should be noted that recently the ONF in St. Petersburg has taken a hostile position. This was expressed in the fact that in January the Front supported the nomination of Mikhail Petrov, head of the staff of Vice-Governor Alexander Govorunov, to the post of member of the St. Petersburg Electoral Commission. Vyacheslav Makarov then strongly opposed Petrov's candidacy and, as a result, managed to achieve the election of the former deputy chairman of the City Election Committee Dmitry Krasnyansky to this position. In addition to the ONF, Petrov's nomination was supported by 65 St. Petersburg municipalities and the parties Great Fatherland, Labor Russia, the Green Party, Communists of Russia, Patriots of Russia and the Rodina party.

The reasons:

Effects:

Considering that Andrei Ryabokon was not an employee of the ONF, to whom the status of "acting" should have been assigned "automatically" after the departure of the previous head, it can be assumed that the issue of his appointment on a permanent basis is resolved. Accordingly, it can be expected that it is Ryabokon who will head the St. Petersburg branch of the All-Russian Popular Front.

On September 13, during a meeting of the headquarters of the St. Petersburg branch of the All-Russian Popular Front, Andrey Ryabokon was elected head of the organization's executive committee on a permanent basis. Since April, he has held this position as a temporary acting. As far as the Unspiritualists know, the election of Ryabokon was not agreed upon in Smolny, the city government wanted to see its protege in this position. However, it lost the hardware fight.

The election of Andrey Ryabokon as head of the executive committee, in particular, was opposed by members of the headquarters of the St. Petersburg ONF, ex-head of the committee on youth policy Alexander Parkhomenko and Sergey Gustov, general director of Gazprom LNG St. Petersburg, son of the former governor of the Leningrad Region Vadim Gustov. They represented the interests of Smolny and lobbied for the post of head of the executive committee of an elderly deputy head of one of the districts of St. Petersburg, whose name is unknown to the publication. It became known in advance about their apparatus defeat, they did not appear at the meeting of the headquarters where Ryabokon was elected.

But Andrei Ryabokon's candidacy was supported by the co-chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the ONF, ITMO rector Vladimir Vasiliev. The meeting on September 13 was attended by a candidate for deputy of the State Duma, co-chairman of the central coordinating council of United Russia supporters Sergei Boyarsky, as well as observers from the federal branch of the ONF. It was also announced at the meeting that re-elections of the headquarters of the St. Petersburg ONF would be held in two months. Probably, Sergei Boyarsky will enter the new composition of the St. Petersburg headquarters of the front already as a deputy of the State Duma.

Recall, on April 13, Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko signed documents on the appointment of the former head of the executive committee of the St. Petersburg ONF, Oleg Dovganyuk, head of the administration of the Kronstadt district. As a result, Andrei Ryabokon, an employee of the St. Petersburg ONF, became acting head of the executive committee of the ONF. They wrote to the lack of spirituality that it was to be expected that it was Andrei Ryabokon who would take the post of head of the executive committee. That is, in fact, the head of the St. Petersburg branch of the Front.

Ryabokon has been working on the executive committee of the ONF since the spring of 2015. At the same time, he did not previously hold leadership positions in this organization. The co-chairs of the St. Petersburg branch are ITMO Rector Vladimir Vasiliev, the chief physician of City Hospital No. 20 Tatiana Surovtseva, and the co-chair of the St. Petersburg branch of Delovaya Rossiya Vitaly Fateichev. The head of the Audit Commission is Vladimir Derbin, chairman of the Leningrad Federation of Trade Unions.

Before joining the ONF, Andrey Ryabokon worked in the office of Svetlana Agapitova, Commissioner for Children's Rights in St. Petersburg. Until 2009, Andrei Ryabokon was an employee of the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights in St. Petersburg, Igor Mikhailov.

The reasons:

Probably, the election of Andrey Ryabokon corresponds to the line of Vladimir Putin on the rotation of personnel and the rejuvenation of leadership at various levels. An example of this is the recent appointment of Anna Kuznetsova, head of the executive committee of the Penza ONF, to the position of Commissioner for Children's Rights of the Russian Federation.

Effects:

Since the ONF is an organization that exercises some control over the actions of authorities and officials at various levels, and is also closer to the president than United Russia, Andrey Ryabokon can become a person who will notice the shortcomings of the Legislative Assembly of the 6th convocation, or maybe - new governor, and report them to the federal leadership.

Andrei Ryabokon is known for his detailed book works on herbalism. He is rightfully considered an outstanding herbalist. Most importantly, the author illustrates his publications himself - with elegant graphic drawings of plants, to which he dedicates both his life and his books. In addition, Ryabokon writes prose - both for adults and for children, which always enjoys undeniable success, because this writer has something to say to both.

— Andrei Alexandrovich, tell us a little about yourself, about your childhood. Where are you from?..
- Born in the distant, "good old" Soviet times, which are now generally blamed, "accidentally" forgetting about the great achievements and victories of a great country, from the Victory over Nazism in World War II to the conquest of near space.
This “fateful” happened (for me and my loved ones) event in the First capital of Ukraine - the former southern the capital of Russia (yes, that’s what Kharkov was called in the 19th century, and at the beginning of the last, 20th century!); now the honorary title of "southern of the capital" seems to have passed to the glorious city of Rostov.
... As a child, relatives took me to my grandmothers and grandfathers to the Donbass, and then I went myself - while my grandparents were alive ... Alas, it was a long time ago, too long ago. In school years (from which some vague impressions plus a certificate) studied at the Palace of Pioneers - some memories of the biology department of the wonderful Palace lay down in the canvas of a book for children - one of the first stories of which, "Vovka and Dimka", you you can look through on the literary site Proza.Ru:
How and when did you start writing? When did you decide on a literary path? When did your literary debut take place?
— I started composing and recording compositions almost at the same time. Remember the joke from Raikin? “I started drinking, smoking and talking at the same time! Nobody taught me."
Unlike a satirical character, I was taught, and be healthy, as taught. Certain abilities for literature began with me noticed even in my school years - I paid attention to something else: in I mostly immersed myself in the world of Nature, caring for some animals in the biology department, and catching others (dragonflies and all kinds of bugs) for palace collections - this happened on numerous expeditions of our groups both close to my home and far away - trips to Colchis, Central Asia (Tashkent , Alma-Ata, Medeo, the peaks of the Tien Shan) I still remember.
The first essays, poems, stories - in short, the first works of a very average level of the period of "literary apprenticeship" - of course, appeared in those same school years.
Then the specialization was determined more precisely - university coursework work, then a diploma and eventually a long work on a dissertation, near-literary "overshoots" in which legitimately irritated the supervisor. Colleagues, senior comrades expressed the idea that the scope of the dissertation is drawing on a doctoral thesis and is more likely on the shoulder of a whole scientific team than one person. Nevertheless, the floristic study, in which separate chapters were devoted to medicinal plants to one degree or another, I think ended more or less successfully.
Actually, here my main specialization was determined, which grew into a number of books - first, “A Pocket Atlas of Honey Medicinal Plants”
(1993), and then "Handbook of Medicinal Plants" (at that time I worked as a head of a department in one of the research institutes), which, without much exaggeration, reached record circulations, in total "going wild" for 100,000 copies (published in Belgorod and Kharkov). After the disappearance of the country called "USSR", such circulations, as you know, happened extremely rarely and only with bestsellers from the category of translated fiction.
Almost simultaneously composed on other topics. The result was participation in various kinds of literary collections, and a tiny booklet "Sanatorium Grove" (2008, publishing house "Zeitglas", author's illustrations) was also published.
In addition to participating in collections (prose, poetry), he edited a new translation of Seton-Thompson's Prairies of the Arctic (2008, Kyiv) and St. John's Wort by Fenimore Cooper (2005, Kharkiv, Factor Publishing House). The work on the version of "St.
If I may, I will mention "between the lines" related to
illustrations, book graphics. The fact is that he drew the “pictures” for his first books with his own hand - moreover, in the “last millennium”, i.e. in the 90s of the last century - one might say, succeeded five personal exhibitions of graphics in Ukraine and one in Russia (Belgorod State Art Museum, then director was Saprykin D.V.), from which the warmest memories remain - memories plus gratitude to the inhabitants of Belgorod, which is close (territorially and spiritually), for their sincere interest in my graphics.

Literature is not an occupation in which you can get rich

— How many times have you published "in paper"? Is it difficult to publish your book? What is needed for that? In general, the word "break through" - is it relevant on the literary path today, in the era of the Internet?
- If you count participation in numerous collections, in co-authorship, etc., then, perhaps, at least two dozen will be typed. As for individual books, almost monographs, half a dozen of them, including:
"Pocket Atlas of Honey Medicinal Plants" (1993),
"Handbook of medicinal plants" (2005, 2006, 2007, Kharkiv, about one and a half hundreds of author's illustrations, the book is currently out of print),
"Your own herbalist, or Food plants-healers" (in Ukrainian) - "Your own herbalist, or Kharchov's growing plants-healers" (2007, Kyiv)
"Sanatorium Grove" (2008, publishing house "Zeitglas", author's illustrations),
"The latest reference book of medicinal plants" (2009, "Phoenix", Rostov-on-Don).
Today, a number of books are ready for "paper", traditional, publication - including two collections of fairy tales and stories for children, as well as the monograph "Global Warming and Flora". There are also so-called electronic books, but, to be honest, I still cannot unequivocally evaluate this “information and technical breakthrough”.
… To publish a book for an author is, of course, terribly difficult and complicated. First, you need to find a like-minded editor, a publisher who is interested in the topic - and / or who sees financial success, i.e. specific such benefit for the native publishing house. Secondly, in the process of concluding an agreement, there may be some difficulties (there were moments when the publishers frankly "threw" - for example, one young Kharkov director abandoned the planned "Atlas of flowering plants" when the work was almost completed - and, of course, did not pay for almost half a year of work, not a penny!). For example, it is necessary to “read in small print”: “without having read it” (and without arguing!), for one of the books I received two or three rubles instead of the agreed ones ... as much as one and a half kopecks for each copy published !!! (Slightly rounding, but the order of numbers is about the same).
Thirdly ... in fact, two points are more than enough. Wild capitalism in action. In short, if anyone is interested - literature, this is not an occupation in which you can get rich. If you want to "retrain as a bourgeois", go into trade, away from literature!
... And the last thing, about “breaking through” ... I don’t think that I “got through” that much.
The sci-fi novel, written last spring, is still in the trash. Some publishing houses refuse immediately, others “think” for a very long time. But most often they simply ignore the letters of the authors (I know for sure that they do this with many) ...
— Do you think the Internet is more good than bad? Or vice versa? Copyright and the Internet - how do you feel about this issue?
- I think you will agree with me: like any (or almost any) large-scale phenomenon, the Internet is multifaceted and many-sided. It is appropriate to recall the catch phrases about the dark side of the Moon or about the fact that there are spots on the Sun.
Again, the Internet is just a tool in the hands (and the "mouse"!) of people - not abstract Humanity, but a specific person. After all, you can hammer carnations with a hammer, fastening a good frame for a wonderful picture, or building a cozy warm house - or you can hammer nails into the hands of the prophet with the same hammer, nailing them to a wooden cross.
I am not talking about axes and students with these tools from the literary past. But I will mention a modern story from the TV news, which took place a couple of months ago - then not only opponents of the "Bandera" movement, but also aggressive figures of nationalist organizations gathered in Kharkov, it turned out to be a very serious confrontation. One of the “nationally conscious” types detained with knives and an ax brazenly spoke to the camera, answering the journalist: “SokIra is tse ne zbroya!” (“The ax is not a weapon!”). But WHY did he bring knives with an ax to a rally where thousands of LIVING people gathered? How do you like it?! Something similar is happening on the Internet.
The constant (and not kind) struggle of opposites - all according to the dialectics of the good old Hegel! ..
...Probably, if there are more good people with good intentions on the Internet than "others", then the Internet is more good than bad. But, as everyone knows, the road to hell is paved with good wishes... On the other hand, one talented scoundrel can do more evil than... More than! Anything happens...
