Andrey Vorobiev: biography and business
Active entrepreneurial activity develops already in the first post-Soviet years. Andrei Vorobyov, whose biography, of course, is not limited to family and state affairs, made the first attempts to build his own business in the mid-1990s. From 1991 to 1998, he was involved in the organization of the company "Russian Sea", engaged in the resale of fish and various seafood in the domestic market. In 2002, his brother Maxim became the CEO of the concern. Actually, the latter leads it today.

Media scandal
Andrei Vorobyov, whose biography, like many deputies of the Russian State Duma, is heard by many compatriots, could not do without scandals in his personal life. So, two years ago information leaked to the media that the author’s thesis for the candidate’s degree, which the deputy defended in 2004, literally used text from other, earlier publications. At the same time, there were no references to the material used in the dissertation. Actually, in addition to scandals in the media, this did not entail any significant consequences for the government official. And indeed this is not the only such episode with the “scientific” works of domestic statesmen. It is enough to recall that even President Vladimir Putin was convicted of the same sin several years ago.
