In recent years, the name of former politician Lyubov Sliska is rarely heard. She completed her rather short but vibrant political career, but her fate continues to excite the general public. Questions about what Sliska Konstantinovna Sliska is doing, where she works now, what her path to politics was, people are often asked. Let's try to answer them.
Childhood
Lyubov Konstantinovna Timoshina was born on October 15, 1953 in Saratov in a very simple family. My father worked as a chief mechanic, but he quickly disappeared from the life of the Timoshins. Mom raised two children alone, there was no particular wealth in the house. Since childhood, Lyuba and her brother Sergey were not granted any privileges, so they had to break through themselves. Mom worked as a seller, an uncle, a police colonel, helped an incomplete family. Timoshins lived on the outskirts of Saratov in a private house, the mother tried to raise her children in strictness.
Education
In 1961, Love went to school, which she graduated in 1971. In school years, she studied a little in music school, but quickly quit. Classmates and teachers recall that Lyuba Timoshina studied at school far from brilliantly, "five" in her diaries appeared extremely rarely. In eighth grade, she even got a quarter in math. But class teacher Maria Maksimovna Derbeneva stood up for her, she helped the girl to finish 10 classes, and not go to vocational school. Almost all of Sliska's classmates went to high schools at the end of school, but she could only go to a bookselling technical school. It was not a bad choice at all, books were a big deficit in the Soviet Union, and work in the store promised Sliske good prospects.
But over time, Lyubov Konstantinovna still received a higher education. This happened when she was already 37 years old. She entered the evening department of the Saratov Law Institute. In the group, she was the oldest, fulfilling the duties of the headman. Thanks to her work, she could assist teachers in subscribing to scarce magazines and books, this made her learning process easier. In 1990, she received a diploma in higher education with a degree in law.
The beginning of the way
After school, Lyubov Timoshina worked at several industrial enterprises, which are rich in the Saratov region. In 1977, she came to work at Soyuzpechat first as a secretary, then as a personnel officer. She was always very active, and this helped her to begin promotion in the trade union line. In 1987, she became the released chairman of the trade union committee of the enterprise, it was then that she thought about getting a higher education. According to Sliska, she tried several times in her life to join the ranks of the CPSU, but was refused, it was too direct and independent in nature.
Coming to power
In 1996, Sliska Konstantinovna was invited to work in the Saratov City Election Commission. She was appointed deputy chairman of the election commission, and it was there that she held a fateful meeting with Dmitry Ayatskov, vice mayor, who intended to become the governor of the Saratov region in the future. After the successful elections in April 1996, Ayatskov, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin was appointed head of the administration of the Saratov region. After that, the successful election of governors was held, and Ayatskov sat in the coveted chair. During these elections, Sliska and Ayatskov worked together to discredit the incumbent governor and became close associates. So, the Saratov region gained a new manager, and he needed a team. And Lyubov Konstantinovna moved to a new level, she was appointed deputy governor. Her leader decided that she, who had experience working at Soyuzpechat, would be best off working with the media, and appointed her to oversee the press. But she quickly parted with this place because of constant conflicts with representatives of the local media (she was convinced that they should write what she told them) and became the permanent representative of the governor in the regional Duma.
The State Duma
In 1999, Lyubov Konstantinovna was included in the Unity party’s election list, and in December 1999 she became a deputy of the State Duma of the third convocation. In January 2000, she was elected vice-speaker of the State Duma; her nomination is associated with Putin’s appeal to further promote women to leadership positions. For most deputies, such an appointment came as a surprise. Sliska Lyubov Konstantinovna, whose position now required confirmation, defends her thesis a year later on the topic “Experience in the Formation of Representative Government Agencies of the Subjects of the Russian Federation, 1990-2000”. The theme of her work was formulated in the best traditions of Soviet science, when party functionaries wrote work in their regions. So, the candidate of historical sciences Sliska defended a study on the work of which she was a participant.
In 2003, Sliska again became a deputy of the Duma, now from the United Russia party, and again sat in the chair of the deputy chairman. In 2007, history repeated itself. But in 2011, it became known that Sliska would no longer participate in the Duma elections. Journalists suspected that the reason for the refusal was an open conflict with Deputy Prime Minister Vyacheslav Volodin. Her activities in the Duma have repeatedly attracted the attention of the media, she voted, for example, for ratifying the agreement on transferring China the river islands in the Khabarovsk Territory, for the law on the abolition of elections in single-mandate constituencies, and advocated the introduction of direct presidential rule in Chechnya after the assassination of A. Kadyrov.
Scandals
When Lyubov Konstantinovna still worked in Ayatskov’s team in the Saratov region, she was known for her incontinence in words. Talking even with the press, she was not shy in expressions, and stories about Saratov still go on her scandal with Alexander Miroshin at one of the banquets, then they loudly expressed claims to each other in selected obscene Russian.
In 2000, after the elections to the State Duma, the Communist Party tried to protest the election results in the Saratov region, as Sliski's brother, Sergey Timoshin, worked as a member of the election commission. But the scandal was gradually hushed up.
A more scandal erupted in 2006, when Sliska received a free stake in Transmash OJSC, the value of which was estimated at $ 50 million. At the same time, Sliska did not even pay tax on such a gift, saying that she had no money.
Life after the Duma
After leaving the Duma and United Russia Sliska Konstantinovna stated that she intended to take up her health. But even after a few years, she no longer returned to the public sphere. Journalists claim that she left for Saratov, where she has real estate and a highly profitable business. It is known that she was a member of the certification commission in her native law institute.
Awards
Sliska Konstantinovna Sliska received several awards for her activity, including the Order of Merit for the Fatherland and the Order of Honor, several orders from the Orthodox Church, has the title of Honored Lawyer of the Russian Federation. In 2003, she won the Olympia Award for Women's Achievement.
Personal life
Sliska Konstantinovna says little about her personal life. She is married to Sergei Germanovich Sliska, half Pole, half Russian. He worked in the judiciary, then was a judge in the Regional Saratov court. This is Sliska’s second marriage, nothing is known about her first husband. Lyubov Konstantinovna has no children. Next to her name, the name of her brother Sergei Timoshin also constantly appears, who, after the election of a sister to the State Duma, became the representative of the governor and thanks to this position he got a diverse business in the region.
