Sergey Borisovich Tarasov, biographical information

This man was born in the most ordinary family, far from politics. In the city of Frunze (now called Bishkek) of the Kirghiz SSR, July 15, 1959. His biography tells about this. Tarasov Sergey Borisovich was the son of simple parents. My mother worked as an engineer, my father worked as a chauffeur.

When the boy was 7 years old, the family moved to the Magadan Region. In the first class, Sergei Borisovich Tarasov went to the local school in a small village of Pevek. After graduation, it was decided to obtain higher education in the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute, specializing in shipbuilding and ship repair.

In 1982 he graduated from this educational institution, and in 2000 entered the State Institute of the city of St. Petersburg, where he received a second higher education in the specialty of "International Relations". After completing his studies, in 2006, Sergei Borisovich Tarasov defended his thesis on an economic topic.

Active work of Tarasov

As a student at the Shipbuilding Institute, the young man was distinguished by responsibility, an exceptional mind and a thirst for active activity. In 1981 he was elected secretary of the Komsomol committee of the faculty. Then for 5 years he held the post of head of the department of the October Komsomol of the Komsomol.

Sergey Borisovich Tarasov began to develop his career rapidly in 1986. During this period, due to his hard work, he is appointed deputy director of the company "Lenexpo" TTP USSR. Since 1989, he has held the position of commercial director at the rather successful Russian-German company Kompan at that time. Then he works in top managerial positions in such companies as "UNIO" and "TARIS". In the last LLP until 1996, he is the general director, and since 1997, he is beginning to engage in politics.

The beginning of political career

First came out on the political arena of the city back in 1994 Tarasov Sergey Borisovich. Governor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak favored the young promising policy. It was then that Tarasova was elected as a deputy to the first Legislative Assembly of the city. After 4 years, he was elected deputy again. And already in 2000 he became chairman of this Assembly. In 2002, the Admiralty District of St. Petersburg elects him a deputy for the third time. At this time he becomes the coordinator and representative of the political faction "Mariinsky".

Rapid turnover is gaining his career in 2003. He becomes the vice-governor of the city and, taking this post, Tarasov, successfully oversaw issues related to the development of sports, youth policy, education, culture, science and the media.

Appointment to a fateful post

Within a year, since 2008, he was a representative of the executive authority of St. Petersburg in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation. In the autumn of 2008 Tarasov starts work in the state company Rosavtodor. He became a member of the supervisory board and became chairman of the board. As the central office of the company was in Moscow, Sergei Borisovich spent all weekdays in the capital. And on the weekend he always returned to Petersburg, where he was waiting for a young wife, a ballerina. One such trip on the route Moscow-Peter ended for the ex-governor tragically.

Accidental victim of the terrorist act

On November 27, 2007, a terrible news was announced on TV that train No. 166 named "Nevsky Express" crashed. Immediately the version was put forward that the collapse occurred as a result of the terrorist act. Close people Tarasova stayed in relative peace, as it was known that he had a place in the first car, and in the news showed that the last trains had left the rails. The death of Sergei Borisovich was a fait accompli, when it became clear that the numbering began with the tail of the express train, and practically no one survived from the passengers of the car numbered 1.

The situation was complicated by the fact that the third wife of the politician, Anastasia Kolegova, was at this time on tour in Japan. She could not be informed for a long time about the death of her husband, since her phone was switched off. This night, all the world's media broadcast footage from the site of the tragedy, and the first flight Anastasia returned to St. Petersburg to say goodbye to her husband, in a legal marriage with which she lived no more than 2 months.

With all due honors, Tarasov was buried on December 1 at Nikolsky Cemetery, which is located on the territory of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.

Personal life policy

On his 10th of October, 2009, with his third wife, the soloist of the Mariinsky Theater, Tarasov was officially signed, although before that they had been in close relations for a long time. Anastasia was much younger than Sergei, but this did not stop a couple of lovers. Seeing her performance in the theater, Tarasov took care of the girl for a long time, gave flowers and provided all possible signs of attention.

After the ballerina answered the policy with consent, they had time to live together for a while. First, Sergei was just happy that the woman she loved was next to him and did not think about the official reassurance of their relationship, especially at that time he was still married to his previous wife. But it was Nastya who, in time, insisted on registration, and Sergei did not resist. The wedding in the church decided to postpone and perform the ritual after several years of living together. They played a wedding on October 10, and on December 1 of the same year Tarasov was buried.

Children from previous marriages

With his second wife, Varvara Vladimirova, Sergei lived almost 20 years. Being the daughter of the great actress Alisa Freindlich and having an acting education, at one time, for her husband and the family, Varvara completely abandoned her career. The couple had two children: the eldest son Nikita, and the daughter Anna. After the divorce, the couple remained in normal relations, and Varvara did not in any way interfere with the communication between the father and the children. In the first marriage, a daughter Olga was born to a politician.

Nikita decided to link his life with the acting profession and studied at the Shchukin School. At this time he lived with his father in his Moscow apartment. After the tragedy, the guy changed his place of residence, because he could not be where everything reminded him of the deceased. Nikita dropped out and wanted to link his future life with politics, following his father's example. But after a while Nikita realized that politics is not a matter of his life and resumed his studies at the Moscow Art Theater.

The daughter of Tarasova, Anna, completely inherited the character of her father. The girl grows very purposeful. Now she is studying at the university at the faculty of international management. In the future, he dreams of becoming a good and strong manager.
