Who is Ekaterina Stenyakina? It would be wrong to deny that this young beautiful woman with blond curls and a charming smile has a strong character and determination. Thanks to these qualities, the charming blonde managed to make a brilliant career, becoming one of the most active participants in the country's political life.
Brief curriculum vitae
Today, Stenyakina Ekaterina is a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov Region, where she heads the activities of the Committee on Youth Policy. In addition, she is a member of the General Council of the United Russia party and co-chairman of the Coordinating Council of the All-Russian public organization Young Guard of United Russia.
Catherine Stenyakina was born on 05/05/1986 in the small town of Shakhty. Despite its compact size, this settlement takes the second place in the Rostov Region in terms of area and the third in the number of inhabitants. In her hometown, young Katya graduated with honors from high school and became a student at the South Russian State Technical University.
Children's dreams and becoming a character
In the 90s, when the whole country was going through great changes, the Stenyakins family also had a hard time, where two little daughters grew up. Father was left without work, mother was not paid a salary. Hearing the conversation of the parents who were discussing what to spend on available scarce money first of all, Ekaterina promised herself that she would make every effort to prevent such situations in her life.
By personal recognition of the future deputy, in her childhood she dreamed of becoming a prosecutor. But there were not enough funds in the family for admission to the specialized university of the regional center. Therefore, Ekaterina Stenyakina remained to study in the Mines, having received the specialty of computer science-economist. In her student years, she actively participated in the public life of the university, and after graduation she began working as a technician at the Shakhty Institute, which is a branch of this educational institution.
First successes and achievements
As a student, Ekaterina Stenyakina, whose biography is still just beginning, received a scholarship from a charity fund created by Vladimir Potanin to support intellectually gifted individuals. This fact indicates that Catherine showed excellent results in studies and scientific activities.
At the beginning of 2000, a branch of the Young Guard was opened in the Mines. Stenyakina almost immediately joined the ranks of the members of this organization, and was soon elected head of the district headquarters. The first action carried out as part of the formed youth movement was the improvement of the local school. The event received wide media coverage, which added points to the personal account of the novice politician and inspired new achievements.
The rise of a political career
Thanks to further active work, Catherine came to the attention of the regional leadership of the Young Guard, became a member of the regional headquarters, and then its chairman. Stenyakina was nominated for election to the City Duma, where she soon headed the Local Government Committee. In 2013, Ekaterina Stenyakina became a deputy of the regional Legislative Assembly, and since 2016 she has been the head of the Committee on Youth Policy in this state body.
Professional ambitions and future plans
Before taking the seat of deputy of the regional parliament, Ekaterina worked for some time (from 2009 to 2011) in the Denisov-Audit commercial association. Business qualities and deep knowledge allowed the young specialist to get the position of deputy director of the company. Ekaterina Stenyakina, whose biography includes not only the stages of political growth, but also professional achievements, is sure that if she fails to realize herself at her current job, she will be able to achieve success in the field of consulting and audit.
Piggy bank of victories and defeats
Over the years of participation in the Young Guard movement and parliamentary activity in the city and regional Duma, Ekaterina Stenyakina had to defend her civic position more than once. Thanks to her efforts, the city of Shakhty gained official symbolism, several schools were repaired, a monument was built to the outstanding weightlifter Vasily Ivanovich Alekseev, who had lived in the city for a long time and was buried in the local cemetery.
The deputy travels a lot in the region, meets with voters, tries to solve problems, participates in public meetings and forums. The scandal with Ekaterina Stenyakina, which broke out in the media in the summer of 2016, almost put an end to her political career. Angry publications have appeared that cast doubt on the purity of her moral qualities and professional competence. The initiative group even began to collect signatures on a petition demanding the resignation of a deputy.
The reason for such harsh criticism was the incident that occurred at the forum "Territory of meanings." One of the participants of the youth rally, a resident of Krasnoyarsk, Yana Mamaeva, asked the deputy chairman of the State Duma Sergey Neverov a question. The girl complained that with two higher educations, she receives a low salary and cannot afford to purchase her own housing on a mortgage.
While Neverov was considering the answer, Yekaterina Stenyakina entered into a dialogue, accusing the girl of complaining about her plight and holding an expensive mobile gadget. The keen look of the co-chairman of the "Young Guard" caught that the iPhone costs at least 50 thousand rubles. The events did not have serious consequences, since officials of higher ranks allow themselves such attacks. Recall, for example, the advice of the chairman of the government, D. A. Medvedev, for teachers to do business in order to improve their material wealth.
However, on the pages of online publications and on social networks, Stenyakina began to hear exclamations of condemnation and even threats of reprisal. Catherine chose not to answer the spiteful critics, although she gave several interviews in which she tried to defend the correctness of her point of view. This case may not have left a noticeable mark on the politician’s reputation, but there is still a certain unpleasant aftertaste.
Income, family and personal life
The deputy does not apply to details of relations with the opposite sex. In the photo of Ekaterina Stenyakina on Instagram, there are no men next to her, except her work colleagues. It is known that she lives with her mother, helps her younger sister.
According to the income statement for 2015, the monthly deputy salary is not more than 40 thousand rubles. Stenyakina owns two foreign cars Audi Q3 and Peugeot 307, which, according to her, she acquired long before she began her activities in the regional parliament.
