Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich, head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine: biography

This man went down in history as the creator of the first commercial mass media in the Soviet Union. He is Honored Journalist of Ukraine, and recently, to the surprise of many, he took the post of the head of the Presidential Administration Poroshenko. His name is Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich.

Education

Boris Lozhkin was born on October 23, 1971 in the student capital of the Ukrainian SSR - Kharkov. He had a penchant for the humanities and dreamed of journalism. At the end of secondary school No. 99 I tried to get a desired profession in Moscow State University, but I did not enroll. Allegedly because of total corruption.

The guy had to look for a compromise option, and Boris Lozhkin, whose biography is now closely connected with journalism, became a student of the Kharkov "peda". The chosen specialty - the philology of the Russian language - was closest to the sphere of the mass media.

Lazhkin graduated from the State Pedagogical University in 1994, and in 1992 he received the diploma of the International Institute for Humanization and Development of Education, based in the States.

How this way Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich (nationality - Ukrainian, citizenship - the USSR) managed to enter the American university, is unknown. But the media has repeatedly cited the view that he lied, indicating in his biography the existence of this education. Allegedly, such an institution does not even exist, and Boris Evgenievich was given a diploma by a dubious, unlicensed high school in Sumy region.

Career

Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich chose his way as an actual child. From the age of fourteen, he combined schooling with a freelancer in local newspapers. And at seventeen already held the position of the editor in one of them (the speech about "Evening Kharkov"). Just an amazing spry!

Then Lozhkin entered the university, but could not study peacefully. And he created a whole trading network, which dealt with the sales of books and periodicals. Since then, business and journalism have always been side by side in the life of the "pen shark".

In the nineties, a nineteen-year-old boy opened his own newspaper called "ATV." It was she who became the first commercial publication of the Union. In parallel, Boris edited the newspaper "Tonys-Saturday Courier", and later becomes editor of the television company "Tonis Center" and conducts the program "Business News".

In the ninety-fourth year Lozhkin "was born" a new child - the magazine "Telenedelya", which very quickly gained immense popularity. And in the same year, Boris Evgenievich became the head of the association "Ukrainian Media Holding."

In the early 2000s, a young and an early businessman has his own printing complex that meets all modern requirements, as well as the largest radio stations (for example, "Melody"). Around the same time, his "Telenedelya" goes beyond Ukraine, and Lozhkin begins to conquer the Russian reader. He even managed to create a publishing house in Russia called "Popular Press". In parallel, they create Ukrainian branches of newspapers "Izvestia", "Top Secret" and others. Together with Igor Kolomoisky Lozhkin produces "Komsomolskaya in Ukraine".

Since 2006, another Lozhkin national project is functioning - "Your Press". And two years later, a buoyant businessman begins to conquer the vastness of the Internet.

2010 was marked in the career of the hero of this article by contracts with the world's most famous players in the field of mass media, as a result of which Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich began publishing Forbes and Vogue for the Ukrainian reader.

And in 2013, the entrepreneur unexpectedly sold his stake in the Ukrainian media holding, which was ninety-eight percent.

Political activity

In politics, Lozhkin was never particularly active. Therefore, his current position - the head of the presidential administration of Ukraine - for many has become a shock. But everything has its own explanations ...

Prior to this post, Boris Evgenievich managed to light up only as a deputy - first one of the Kharkov district councils - in the 94th, then the city council of Kharkov - in the 98th. In 2003 Lozhkin joined the Council of Entrepreneurs under the Cabinet. Here, in fact, that's all.

Environment and connections

Obviously, it's not accidental that Boris Lozhkin led the presidential administration. His biography is closely intertwined with many influential people of Ukraine, such as, for example, Kolomoisky, Akhmetov, Surkis, Bogolyubov and, of course, Poroshenko.

Together with the oligarchs, Lozhkin carried out various projects in the media, repeatedly getting involved in scandalous stories and provoking a flurry of accusations, and helped the current President of Ukraine to come to power, giving good advice on the PR campaign.

According to Boris Evgenievich, the proposal to head the administration took him by surprise. At that time he was on vacation, and Poroshenko called him on the phone. Lozhkin, hearing what he was talking about, joked, but everything was serious. He took a high post on June 10, 2014.

condition

Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich is a multimillionaire, the richest man in Ukraine. In 2013, the magazine "Focus" appropriated him one hundred and first place in the "hit parade" of the richest Ukrainians with a fortune of one hundred and twenty-six million dollars. Today, the ex-owner of the Ukrainian media holding already occupies the seventieth place, and its capital is estimated at 144 million US dollars.

Personal life

The head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine is known as a good family man. He married yet quite a young man - in 1993 - on Nadezhda Shalamova. For more than two decades, marked by such a significant career and financial growth, he managed to keep his marriage. Nadezhda Shalamova and Lozhkin Boris Evgenievich are the parents of the only daughter of Anastasia, who was born in 1994.

According to Ukrainian bloggers, Lozhkin adores meat in the form of steaks, good wines, and also likes to play casinos sometimes. Another weakness is the expensive watch. Well ... All this he can afford. The path chosen in childhood led Boris Evgenievich to the golden peaks.
