Already in our millennium, namely until 2003, he continued to study at the Academy of the North-West in the public service under the auspices of the President of Russia.
Work by profession until the year 2000
From 1982 until the formation of the CIS and the Russian Federation, that is, until 1991, he worked in the country's security agencies.
Between 1982 and 1994 He was an expert at the City Hall Committee for External Relations of the City of St. Petersburg. At that time he met the future president - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who at that time was the chairman of the PBC. He managed the solution of the issue of hotels and hotels, and also solved the problems associated with the development of a network of illegal gambling and casinos, being in the status of a member of the Council on these issues.
Since 1994, he has been an active participant in managing the development direction of the International State Fund under the name “Cultural Initiative”.
Careers at Zero
The two thousandth year of Oleg Alexandrovich began with receiving the post of assistant to the head of the Leningrad region.
Three years later he was appointed patron of the personnel department of Russia for fishing of the State Committee.
For two years, starting in 2003, the President of Russia, authorized in the Southern Federal District, had the status of deputy ambassador.
The year 2004 was incredibly difficult for Safonov, as he became a participant in a treat with terrorists on the side of the authorities of the North Caucasian Federal District. He managed to convince the invaders to meet with the plenipotentiary to resolve the conflict. The whole situation was formed due to unrest in the city of Cherkessk, which is the capital of Karachay-Cherkessia. The rebels barricaded the main building of the Government House of the Republic, from which the head of this subject, Batdyev Mustafa, could get out at that time.
After this incident, until 2006, he was an auditor of the Russian Audit Chamber.
Until 2006, he worked as Russia's Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. He became the curator of the criminal police. According to the Kommersant newspaper, Safonov switched to work in the Ministry of the Interior with the help of Dmitry Kozak, who at that time was the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
From October 2007, when he was relieved of his duties as deputy minister of internal affairs of the country, and until 2009, he was a representative of the President of Russia, authorized in the Far Eastern Federal District. The position of the Far Eastern Plenipotentiary became vacant when Kamil Iskhakov, who previously held this position, was promoted to the Minister of Regional Development, which happened in September.
From mid-summer 2009 to the present day, he has been the deputy director of the Federal Drug Control Service. Safonov Oleg Alexandrovich is currently a member of the Russian Security Council, and also takes part in the Council for the implementation of important national plans and demographic policies under the President of Russia.
Safonov Oleg Alexandrovich - Colonel General of the Police of the Federal Service for Drug Control of the Russian Federation and is nowadays an adviser to the state of Russia of the first class.
Has a wife and daughter.
Relations with politicians
In the post of plenipotentiary, from 2007 to 2009, Oleg failed to establish good relations with any of the leaders of the Far East region. However, he began to communicate quite closely with Viktor Ivanov, who actively collaborated with the governor of the Kamchatka Territory, Alexei Kuzmitsky. He was also in difficult relations with the protege of Iskhakov, who at that time was the head of the Amur region, Nikolai Kolesov. He ensured that Kolesov was dismissed in 2008. He did not agree with Sergey Darkin, who was the head of the Primorsky Territory, and Ishaev Viktor, the governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, which also caused many conflicts. In these skirmishes, Oleg was represented by the Investigative Committee, but the Prosecutor General’s Office stood up for the governors.
There is a suspicion that this person has family ties with Viktor Ivanov, about which in 2007 the Moskovsky Komsomolets narrated. This theory was first reinforced by the argument that, allegedly, the daughter of the adviser to the head of the country, Viktor Ivanov, is married to Oleg. However, official documents refute this opinion. The second hypothesis is that already daughter Elizabeth married the son of Viktor Ivanov - Yaroslav. Again, Lisa has not yet come of age. Therefore, this option is not possible.
Strokes to the biography of Oleg A. Safonov
October 2009 was marked by the headlines of the media that Safonov is one of the most possible and suitable people for the post of Russian Minister of Internal Affairs. This post was released by Nurgaliyev in the same year.
When Oleg Safonov was the head of the Far East, protests were constantly held in this region. A notable event, in addition to the riot of car drivers that took place during the election of the governor of Partizansk in March 2009, was that 25.6% of the residents decided not to elect anyone and threw out ballots. This number of protesters has led to the largest number of invalid ballots in world history.
