A great start

Boris Titov was born in Moscow on December 24, 1960. Childhood and youth passed like most Soviet children of that time. Although there were features related to family requirements.

A young man graduates from an English special school. After receiving the certificate, he directly goes to the most prestigious university of the country - MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations). He chooses the Faculty of Economics. He studies successfully, his subjects are really interested. In 1983 he received the diploma of an economist-internationalist. The young specialist was in demand and gets a place in the foreign trade association "Soyuznefteexport". He is entrusted with an important direction: the supply of oils and petrochemicals.

For such a wonderful beginning, there were all conditions. Dear family with almost unlimited ties. Grandpa headed the Moscow hospital for the old Bolsheviks. Father - a famous geologist, a deputy of the Moscow Council. Get a job on a good job just appeared a specialist father-in-law. He was in friendly relations with Vladimir Morozov, then director of Soyuznefteexport.

The first attempts to make money

The desire to independently earn even small money from the future millionaire has always been. While still studying at the institute, Boris Titov tried to sell records. In the late 70's - early 80's, recording, especially foreign performers, was a "terrible" deficit. In the family of Titov problems with their acquisition was not: parents brought records from business trips abroad.

After the third course, the student was invited to the Lubyanka with knowledge of foreign languages. The KGB needed such specialists, and tried to enlist many of Titov's classmates. Boris Titov approached in all respects. He successfully passed the interview, it remained to go through a medical commission. The young man decides to consult his father, who dissuaded his son from such a step. Boris listened to the advice and refused.

Career from the refusal of cooperation with the KGB was not affected. On the fourth course the student is sent to Peru, as he knew the Spanish language perfectly. The first years of work at Soyuznefteexport forced him to often wander around on business trips. Travel to Cuba gave an additional opportunity to earn. During the transplant in Ireland, a young specialist for all business trips purchased an electronic watch. Spending one dollar a piece (the dollar was then 60 kopecks), he sold them in Moscow for sixty rubles. Money in a young family has never been superfluous.

By the end of the nineties, the company began financing domestic projects. The investment of trade operations, the investment of capital in transport and production projects is carried out by Boris Titov. Photos of the results of these investments circled the pages of all the central media.

A new upsurge

1996 brings the following changes in the career of Titov. Boris Yuryevich is elected president of the company "Solvalyub". Three years later, Interkhimprom, which managed Solvalub's assets in the Russian Federation, receives a new chairman of the board, Boris Titov.

Despite his busy schedule, Boris Titov, the commissioner for his work to understand economic issues, begins to engage in public work.

Party life

Gozman and Georgy Bovt, journalist. The coalition lasted until 2011. Together with the liquidation of the co-chairmanship, the party has a single head, Mikhail Prokhorov.

In June of the next year, under the decree of President Putin, a new post was given to Boris Titov. The Commissioner for the Rights of Entrepreneurs under the President of the Russian Federation is called upon to protect the interests of business. Party activities were not in vain. The clash of economic and political issues in the formation of the party's strategy led to the formation of a clear idea that "business can not risk relations with the authorities."

Initiatives by Titov

The economic proposals initiated by Boris Titov, the Ombudsman, often received an ambiguous evaluation. Back in 2009, he proposed to replace the monetary compensation of the reluctance to serve in the army. Money proceeds, in his opinion, will go to the state, and not into the pockets of officials. Double benefit: fighting corruption and replenishing the state treasury.

At the suggestion of Titov, a new union, Zamodernizatsiyu.RU, was created. Grigory Yavlinsky, ex-chairman of the Yabloko party, and Vladislav Inozemtsev, editor-in-chief of the journal Free Thought, supported the union and actively participated in its creation. The main goal of the new education is to unite businessmen to plan a strategic line for modernizing modern Russia.

Boris Titov, the authorized representative under the President of the Russian Federation, became the head of the group advocating the formation of an effective communication system for entrepreneurs and executive authorities, including a mechanism for prompt response to business appeals, at the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. This association is developing a so-called Roadmap. The document aims to create a rapid interaction of business and government structures.

The Commissioner for the Rights of Entrepreneurs solves important issues at the state level, and his wife Elena, the heir of the surname Pavel and daughter Mashenka, are waiting for him at home. Elena Titova is active in public activities: she heads the Russian Glass Development Fund and the All-Russian Museum of Decorative and Applied Art in Moscow.
