Why did the children's ombudsman Pavel Astakhov leave and what will Anna Kuznetsova do in his place. Biography Where Pavel Astakhov now works

Miroslava Svetlaya

Pavel Astakhov, who is the children's ombudsman, is nevertheless dismissed. This information received on Saturday from a high-ranking source in the Kremlin. After the human rights activist, during a conversation with the children injured at Syamozero, inadvertently asked “How did you swim?”, an immediate reaction was received with demands for his dismissal. However, do not forget that similar punctures happened to him before. According to experts, this position is simply not suitable for Astakhov. Then how did he get to this post and for what reason was he removed?

In the meantime, a petition for the Ombudsman's resignation continued to gain votes on change.org. The initiators called the reason for it a remark in a conversation with children who survived the storm at Syamozero. Astakhovsky "Well, how did you swim?" in a matter of hours, it turned into a meme and caused a wave of criticism against the Commissioner for Children's Rights.

By Sunday afternoon, when a Kremlin source had already determined the fate of the human rights activist, about 156,000 citizens signed for his resignation.

According to media reports, Astakhov admitted that he "really seriously flew" from the president for a sloppy statement. But the doctors rushed to the rescue, explaining that the unfortunate ombudsman acted in accordance with the recommendations of the psychologist. The human rights activist himself also referred to some special psychological tricks, which were supposed to make the conversation with the affected children more relaxed.

But this is far from Astakhov's first public blunder. He was immediately reminded of last year's statement in connection with the marriage of a minor in the Caucasus: "There are places where women are already wrinkled at the age of 27 and by our standards they are under 50." Then the Internet buzzed no less, and the official is being dismissed only now. So what happened - an inappropriate phrase against the background of the death of children overflowed the cup of patience, or are there any other reasons for dismissal?

In a Tom Ford suit, with a touch of cynicism

“It is unlikely that he quarreled with someone,” says political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko. “I think that Astakhov ended up in this position quite by accident: there was a well-known media figure, with high recognition, he speaks smartly, and besides, he is a lawyer.” But according to the expert, now it turned out that the children's human rights activist "does not fulfill his main function." “Given the abundance of claims against him, he still did not join this role, did not grow together with it,” Minchenko believes.

In Astakhov's biography, nothing really speaks in favor of the fact that the protection of the family and childhood was his vocation. Maternal grandfather worked in the state security agencies, the human rights activist himself graduated from the Higher School of the KGB in 1991. A decade later, he studied at the University of Pittsburgh in the USA.

And yet, for the random appointment of Astakhov at the end of 2009, the place was vacated with enough mysterious circumstances. The previous Ombudsman Oleksiy Golovan, according to official information, resigned own will, but colleagues were perplexed. “I can’t even imagine what made him write such a statement,” Ella Pamfilova, at that time head of the Presidential Council for the Promotion of Institutions, was surprised. civil society and human rights. At the same time, a Kommersant source in the presidential administration emphasized that the protection of children is a priority for the president, and “in this sense, Golovan was very consistent with the tasks set.”

Former Ombudsman for Children Oleksiy Golovan

Unlike Golovan, who came to the post of federal "children's" ombudsman from a similar post in Moscow and is known mainly in professional environment, Astakhov became a real guest star in the commissioner's office. Since 2004, he has hosted the nation's first court show, The Hour of Judgment, and several other television and radio programs. In addition, the media human rights activist published books on quite pressing legal issues: “How to get an inheritance” or “Consumer rights. legal assistance from the pinnacle of advocacy." There is also fiction in the asset - the books "Mayor", "Producer" and the novel "Raider", which was even made into a movie.

AT professional world However, lawyer Astakhov is known for other merits. He defended, for example, the leadership of the Vlastilina financial pyramid and the American Edmond Pope accused of spying for the United States, and participated in the case of the head of the Media-Most holding, Vladimir Gusinsky.

“There are two types of lawyers in American films. One is a buff-lined, well-groomed lawyer in a Tom Ford suit, with a touch of cynicism. The other is drunk, wrinkled, compassionate. Astakhov is the first type, - Evgeny Minchenko, the president of the communication holding Minchenko Consulting, outlines the main problem of the now almost former children's ombudsman. “Astakhov still did not have an image match for this position.”

Pavel Astakhov was the permanent host of the Hour of Judgment program

Look at the problem differently

Actually, the position of the Ombudsman for Children was formed “from below”, starting from the regional level. In 1998, the position was established in the Kaluga, Volgograd, Novgorod regions, as well as in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg: this happened as part of a pilot project of the Ministry of Social Development and the UNICEF Children's Fund. Gradually, new subjects were connected, and in September 2009 the position was brought to federal level relevant presidential decree.

Some sources explained Astakhov's appointment by rather close relations with the entourage of the current Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev; subsequently, the ombudsman at least attended the events of the foundation, working under the patronage of the wife of the prime minister. But Minchenko does not agree: in his opinion, explaining the subsequent resignation by the weakening of this or that clan is too complicated and a stretched version. On the one hand, Astakhov really a good relationship with lawyer Mikhail Barshchevsky, who is considered a "representative of the Medvedev group." On the other hand, the clan affiliation of a person in the current system is rapidly changing.

Replacing Golovan, who had worked in office for only a few months, Astakhov promised not to make any revolutions. The lack of an appropriate background did not bother the human rights activist. “My predecessor is a professional with extensive experience in protecting the rights of the child. I didn’t work with children, although I was engaged in family law for sixteen years, so I look at the problem from a slightly different position, ”he said“ Russian newspaper».

According to Astakhov, it was "important for him to work with performers", for example law enforcement, who also have to protect the rights of children, but do not want to "deal with other people's family squabbles." Almost a year and a half after taking office, Astakhov presented the president with a report on the observance of the rights and interests of children in Russia. The document consisted of three volumes, one of which was in the format of a photo album. Colleagues of the human rights activist complained that the text of the report was not available to a wide audience.

Although this did not mean that the public was not familiar with Astakhov's activities. He published some of his statements on Instagram, for example, he offered to protect children from destructive information.

From time to time, he deviated a little from the sponsored topic, going into socio-economic issues. In particular, he called for distributing unclaimed products to the poor instead of destroying them.

The position of Pavel Astakhov included, first of all, work with government agencies, but he also talked a lot with children

However, according to a presidential decree, official duties ombudsman look somewhat different and lie far beyond the media field. First of all, the commissioner is focused on working with state structures whose activities affect the interests and rights of children.

The decree states that the ombudsman has the right to request information from the federal government, independently or together with relevant structures, check the work of government agencies and officials, and also send them recommendations on restoring the violated rights of a child.

I just roll on Cote d'Azur

In the human rights community, they rarely commented on the essence of Astakhov's work, and even more so its compliance with official tasks. But on the other hand, colleagues had claims of an image character. Thus, Seyran Davtyan, a member of the European Ombudsman Institute, criticized the tone of the materials posted on the Ombudsman's website in one of his publications. “Pavel Astakhov rated the region “good with a minus”,” Davtyan quoted an April 2011 post on the website regarding the commissioner’s visit to the Pskov region.

“I don’t know what the style of correspondence looks like between the Commissioner for Children’s Rights under the President and the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the regions, but the style of messages posted on the information website of the Presidential Ombudsman testifies to the feeling of superiority of the Ombudsman P. Astakhov over his colleagues,” wrote Davtyan.

The State Duma Committee on Ethics believes that Astakhov "starred" in recent years four. "AT recent times he doesn't act like children's ombudsman, but as a businessman, impudently, arrogantly, not as befits a civil servant in such a high and responsible position, who must protect children, restore their violated rights, ”committee member Yan Zelinsky told Lente.ru.

Astakhov's attributes of "stardom" were really visible. The 7 Days magazine devoted detailed photo reports to his family. Astakhov complained that “in general, from Moscow”, where they live with their middle son, he does not leave for a long time. “I just dangle almost every weekend here, on the Cote d'Azur, otherwise, I'm afraid, the kid will wean me,” he shared with the magazine. And about the birth of his wife in France, he said that “we really occupied the largest ward in the hospital,” where Angelina Jolie had previously given birth.

“He is a wealthy man, in the past a lawyer, and this personal well-being is directly read in his eyes, in his statements and actions,” political scientist Dmitry Orlov admitted Astakhov’s image features in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

Yevgeny Minchenko notes that Astakhov was kept in this position “for quite a long time”, although there was clearly something to improve in his work. According to the expert, the image component should be taken into account during the next appointment. “Some compassionate middle-aged woman, such as Liza Glinka, for example, would come here,” says Minchenko. “Or you can clone Pamfilova here.”

Pavel Astakhov is a Russian lawyer and political figure, known throughout the world far beyond its borders professional activity. He gained fame as the best lawyer in Russia, which he won thanks to his participation in high-profile lawsuits, representing the interests of show business stars, famous politicians and businessmen.
