The life of a politician is radically different from the life of an ordinary person. It’s not for nothing that they say that if you are an honest and kind person, then neither money nor power will spoil you. Because if you are an honest and kind person, then you will have neither one nor the other. This truth can be disputed for a very long time, but, in general, everyone will agree that in order to be a politician, you really need to have a strong character and the ability to turn a blind eye to many things.

And now, in this article we will talk about such a politician as Aman Tuleyev, who in the late nineties was appointed to the post of governor of the Kemerovo region. What is his life like, how did he become a politician in the first place, did he have any connections for this, we will look at all this here so that we can put together a complete picture of his personality.

Height, weight, age. How old is Aman Tuleyev

Height, weight, age. How old is Aman Tuleyev - this is everything we consider in every celebrity, because, one way or another, it is always interesting to learn about the appearance and parameters of a person who managed to attract public attention. Today, Tuleyev is already 73 years old, that is, he is at a very respectable age, his height is 190 centimeters and his weight is 90 kilograms. It must be said that for his age, the elderly man looks very good, which is not surprising.

After all, with the money he has, he has the opportunity to take care of himself, to do as he wants. Despite his nationality, which is far from Russian, he proposed his candidacy for presidential elections three times, and he still holds the post of governor to this day. That is, despite the fact that he is far from young, he has enough energy that allows him to take part in politics.

Biography and personal life of Aman Tuleyev

The biography and personal life of Aman Tuleyev definitely deserves attention, because he lived long enough, and his path was eventful and varied. In fact, he never had a father. According to some sources, the boy’s father died before he was born; others claim that he died in the war when Haman was still very young. But, one way or another, the future politician’s childhood was quite difficult, but at the same time happy. The fact is that the child was raised by his mother’s second husband, and he treated his adopted son as his own, and Tuleyev himself repeatedly said that he owed him a lot, and many questions would have remained unanswered if not for his second father.

Aman’s youth was quite ordinary, because after school, he entered a technical school, which he graduated with honors. After studying, the guy was drafted into the army, where he served with all conscientiousness and diligence. He claims that it was the army that helped him become a real man and toughened him up. Having already served in the army, he began to work in railway activities, where he even held the position of chief, that is, even here he managed to achieve certain heights. But a political career awaited him, which was not long in coming, so the young man soon embarked on a completely different path.

He took part in various parties, constantly organized rallies, and repeatedly called on the people to take action. All this allowed him to win the trust of the common people, which was to his advantage. At the very beginning of the nineties, when the collapse of the USSR occurred, Aman put forward his candidacy for the post of President of Russia. Also then he proposed to mark the rallies for now, because he believed that they undermine labor discipline, and, of course, do not benefit the nation. By the way, in the elections, I can then take fourth place, losing to a politician like Boris Yeltsin.

Already in the second half of the nineties, he again applied for the presidency, but this time again everything was unsuccessful. True, this time, he voluntarily refused in favor of another candidate, which, however, also did not help much. Because Boris Yeltsin became president again for the second time. At the beginning of the 2000s, a man was engaged in education, defended a dissertation on a political topic, that is, he continued to improve, continued to make sure that he was noticed, and his actions were approved in politics. As a result, he managed to become the governor of the Kemerovo region, whose post he still holds. It must be said that this politician is a tough nut to crack; during his time in office, he managed to undergo spinal surgery, after which he again took on obligations to become governor.

Politics is a complex thing, and only the most persistent and those who truly strive for power and this type of activity survive. And according to some data, Tuleyev is one of the ten most successful governors of the Russian Federation. That is, today Aman Tuleyev has truly established himself as a politician and statesman. As for his personal life, Aman has everything arranged here too, because he has been married to the same woman for decades. Although there were also tragedies here, because the husband and wife had two sons, but by a fatal coincidence, the youngest son, whose name was Andrei Amanovich, died in a car accident at the very end of the nineties. The wife did her best to help her husband survive the loss, which was a heavy blow for the politician; for some time he even thought about leaving politics.

Family and children of Aman Tuleyev

The family and children of Aman Tuleyev are a separate topic, because the politician clearly separates his political activities and personal life. In addition, the man had his own heavy losses and falls throughout his life, which he nevertheless managed to survive. As for family hearth, then it would seem that everything is arranged. The fact is that Aman Tuleyev is a married man, and the marriage has lasted for a very long time. They had two sons, the eldest’s name is Dmitry Amanovich, and he is a successful businessman, but the youngest son, Andrei Amanovich, has a more tragic fate. He was the head of the Federal Highway Administration, and in the late nineties he died tragically in a car accident. And although it was a very difficult test for the married couple, they were still able to find the strength to move on, achieve what they had in mind and simply feel the joy of having each other.

Son of Aman Tuleyev - Dmitry

Aman Tuleyev’s son Dmitry became the first heir in the marriage of Aman and his wife. He was born in 1968, that is, today, he is already a fully grown man who has his own children, thanks to which Tuleyev had the opportunity to become a grandfather and get some relief from the loss of his youngest son. The eldest son today is a successful businessman, that is, we can say that he does not depend on the influence of his father, lives his life calmly and does what he considers necessary. It’s difficult to say anything truly definite about him, because the guy doesn’t show off too much in front of the cameras, and generally prefers a non-public life, because the slightest mistake could have negative consequences for his father. In any case, he has everything an adult could want, from material status to family happiness. After all, a man has a wife and children who will always support him at the right time. Sometimes more is not needed.

Son of Aman Tuleyev - Andrey

The son of Aman Tuleyev, Andrei, was born in 1972; a not very good fate was written in heaven for him. Although, it would seem, he had every prospect of living well, at least in the material sense. He grew up in a good atmosphere, after he became an adult, he took a good leadership position, but this did not save him from sharp turns of fate, and in the most literal sense of the word. The fact is that in 1998, he died in a car accident, in which no one could be saved at all. In such a tragic way, Aman Tuleyev lost his youngest son, who tragically left this world at a young age.

Aman Tuleyev's wife - Elvira

Aman Tuleyev's wife Elvira was his faithful friend throughout his life. Although there are rumors that politicians can change women underground, each time choosing younger and younger, but here, the family has always been strong. Elvira was born in 1943, no one can say for sure how they met, except that they fell in love with each other in their youth and went through life together. So, even politicians have eternal love, because they were able to create a strong family and gave birth to children. The wife always supported her husband in politics, and simply in life, which sometimes he simply needed.

After the tragedy in Kemerovo, Governor Aman Tuleyev turned to the president with his resignation. The head of the region said that he considers this unity to be the right decision. Komsomolskaya Pravda collected the most striking moments from the biography of Aman Tuleyev, who led Kuzbass for 20 years.

At the beginning of the journey

Aman Tuleyev was born on May 13, 1944 in the city of Krasnovodsk, Turkmen SSR, into the family of an employee. He began his career as a switchman at the Krasnodar-1 railway station. In 1964 he graduated from the Tikhoretsky Railway College. After completing his studies, he came to Siberia, to the railway village of Mundybash, Kemerovo region, where he worked as a station attendant. Then he served for three years as a sapper in the engineering sapper troops of the Trans-Baikal Military District.

After the army, Tuleyev returned to Mundybash to his previous place of work. In 1969, he became the head of the Mundybash railway station of the West Siberian Railway. Then he graduated from the Novosibirsk Institute of Railway Transport Engineers, after which he became the head of the railway station in the city of Mezhdurechensk. From 1978 to 1985, he worked first as deputy and then as head of the Novokuznetsk branch of the Kemerovo Railway.

In 1985, Aman Tuleyev was appointed head of the transport and communications department of the Kemerovo regional party committee, and three years later - head of the Kemerovo railway, one of the largest in the Soviet Union.

From deputy to governor

In March 1990, Aman Tuleyev was elected as a deputy of the Kemerovo Regional Council of People's Deputies, then as its chairman. At the same time, he was appointed chairman of the Kemerovo Regional Executive Committee. In 1993 he became a deputy of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation from Kuzbass. From March 1994 to July 1996, he headed the Legislative Assembly of the Kemerovo Region.

From August 22, 1996 to June 30, 1997, Aman Tuleyev was a member of the Government of the Russian Federation, Minister for Cooperation with the CIS States.

In July 1997, President Boris Yeltsin appointed Aman Tuleyev Head of the Administration of the Kemerovo Region. In October of the same year, having received 95% of the vote, he became governor of the Kemerovo region.

End of the strike

In 1997, Kuzbass resembled a seething cauldron. 44 coal enterprises closed, and more than 150 thousand workers lost their jobs. Those who had it were not paid wages for several months. The miners blocked the Trans-Siberian Railway and sat on the rails. An entire delegation went to the capital, banging their helmets on the Gorbaty Bridge. Aman Tuleyev then managed to come to an agreement with the strikers. Just three months later, in the first direct gubernatorial elections, almost all those who voted “bet” on him.

Fight against terrorists

Aman Tuleyev was awarded three personalized pistols from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government of the Russian Federation for displays of courage during the release of hostages and conducting an anti-terrorist operation, for preventing two terrorist attacks.

In 1991, Aman Tuleyev helped free a girl taken hostage from a bus near Red Square, offering himself in exchange for her. In 1995, he negotiated with Yevgeny Zherenkov, who captured people at the Kemerovo bus station and threatened to detonate a bomb. In 2001, the governor of Kuzbass took part in the neutralization of Andrei Pangin, who took a taxi driver hostage at the Kemerovo airport. In 2007, he negotiated with a police warrant officer who threatened to blow up a residential building. Then the security forces managed to neutralize and detain the terrorist. In March 2009, Aman Tuleyev also negotiated with a robber who took three female cashiers and two security guards hostage at a bank.

"Curfew"

In April 2008, Aman Tuleyev proposed introducing a curfew for minors in the region. Soon after this, the regional legislative assembly adopted amendments to the Kemerovo law on administrative offenses, prohibiting teenagers under 16 years of age from being in in public places unaccompanied by adults from 22.00 to 6.00.

In 2015, the State Duma adopted amendments to the law “On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation,” according to which regions can limit the presence of children on the street at night. The example of Kuzbass was followed by Chelyabinsk, St. Petersburg, and Vladimir.

Your own bread

At the end of the 90s of the last century, the region did not produce its own grain, but imported it from Canada, Kazakhstan, Omsk, Altai. Bread and flour products were expensive. One of the governor’s main goals in 1997 was to collect a million tons of grain in the region. In 2003, Kuzbass residents managed to collect this record harvest for the first time. Based on the results of the 2016 harvest, 1 million 73 thousand tons of grain were poured into the bins.

Top Governor

In 2012, Aman Tuleyev entered the top 20 most influential governors of Russia. The study was conducted by the Agency for Political and Economic Communications. The heads of regions were divided into three groups: “very strong influence” (20 people), “strong influence” (30 people) and “medium influence” (33 people). The governor of Kuzbass took 11th place. It is worth noting that in the top 20 most influential governors of the country, Aman Tuleyev still remains the only representative of the Siberian Federal District.

Five terms

In 2015, Aman Tuleyev took office as governor of the Kemerovo region for the fifth time and received 96.69% of the votes in the elections. The politician himself regarded such support from his fellow countrymen as a victory for all Kuzbass residents. Note that in 2005, Vladimir Putin vested Aman Tuleyev with the powers of governor, who began his third term in power. In 2010, his powers were extended by Dmitry Medvedev.

Looking for Yeti

In 2010, Aman Tuleyev promised to give a million rubles to anyone who could catch the Kuzbass Yeti. This spurred interest among local residents and tourists in searching for Bigfoot near Sheregesh. Even Nikolai Valuev took part in the search for the yeti. But apart from the footprints of Bigfoot, the famous boxer and State Duma deputy found nothing. Thus, the governor allocated the promised million to the development of a skiing section for children with disabilities. In addition, Aman Tuleyev established new holiday– Yeti Day, which is celebrated on November 20.

"Miss Russia" and the bandy championship

During the period of Aman Tuleyev’s work, cultural and sporting events of Russian and global scale took place in Kuzbass. Thus, in 2004, for the first time, more than 2,000 students from 54 regions of the country gathered in Kemerovo for the Russian Student Spring festival. In 2007, the regional capital hosted the World Bandy Championship. Kuzbass also hosted the most beautiful representatives of the fairer sex at the finals of the Beauty of Russia 2009 competition. And in 2013, a model from Kuzbass, Elmira Abdrazakova, became the winner of the Miss Russia beauty contest.

Friendship with Agafya Lykova

Aman Tuleyev and Agafya Lykova had a long-standing friendship. They first met in the fall of 1997, when the governor visited her settlement in Khakassia, a region neighboring Kuzbass. Since then, the governor has constantly helped the hermit. For example, the head of the region supplied Agafya with the necessary supplies and helped with emergency medical care, sending a helicopter if necessary. So, in January 2016, Lykova was evacuated from her taiga shelter to the Tashtagol hospital. After examination and treatment, Aman Tuleyev met and talked with the hermit. Agafya herself sincerely thanked the governor for his help every time. Let us note that in 2014, Tuleyev’s delegation suggested that the hermit move closer to her family - to the village of Karagol, Tashtagol district, offering free housing. However, the woman refused.

In the fight for the health of the region’s residents, in the fall of 2015, Aman Tuleyev proposed giving obese people a ton of coal for every kilogram of fat lost. The governor's initiative resulted in a television show on a local channel. While filming with overweight Several dozen Kuzbass residents separated.

Against collectors

In April 2016, after a series of high-profile crimes committed against credit debtors, the governor of Kuzbass instructed the regional Council of People's Deputies to pass a law that prohibits the activities of debt collectors. As Aman Tuleyev noted, not a single collector has the right to “knock out” debts from Kuzbass residents since April 6, 2016. The regional prosecutor's office soon repealed the local law, but already in June the State Duma limited the activities of collectors.
