Youth

The education of the indigenous Peter the Great was brilliant, graduating in 1976 biophak of Leningrad State University and having received a specialty biologist - a geneticist of microorganisms.

Here he defended his thesis.

By 1982, he worked as a junior researcher at a research institute of all-Union significance and, probably, dreamed of the glory of a scientist. But the times were not the same.

All this extreme lasted according to one data for 5 years, and for others - as much as 8.

The beginning of a serious career

Meanwhile, the disintegration of the Union was approaching, the times were dull, and whoever wanted to try to catch the "fish". It was at the end of the eighties that the sharp career growth of the hero of this article occurred. In 1987, Reznik Vladislav Matusovich, whose biography was associated with Dmitry Dmitrievich Christmas childhood friendship, becomes deputy director of the television company "Russian Video". It was headed by Rozhdestvensky himself.

From the state, the company received a generous inheritance: money for promotion, equipment and the 11th channel for broadcasting the air. Things went smoothly. Filmed sharp, topical broadcasts, journalists of the "Russian Video" traveled a lot on hot spots and prepared bright materials. Such activities required constant financial injections, and on this basis Reznik Vladislav Matusovich and his friends together with partners co-founded the bank "Russia".

By the way, it is known that Rozhdestvensky and "Ko" were well acquainted with the mayor of St. Petersburg, Sobchak, as well as with Putin and other representatives of the "St. Petersburg". Their television company helped these politicians during the elections. And the fact that the established bank, where Reznik since 1989 served as deputy chairman of the company, was firmly afloat in the stormy perestroika ocean, is also associated with high acquaintances in the nomenclature. It is rumored that through "Russia" former party workers "saved the treasures" of the dying CPSU, or rather, of its Leningrad cell.

Insurer

The further career of a man named Reznik Vladislav Matusovich is closely connected with the insurance business. In 1990, he joined the board and even became chairman of the newly established Petersburg insurance company "Rus", which, according to many, participated in schemes with party millions. It is noteworthy that here, under the reznik, Reznik worked as a lawyer for the future Russian president and Premier Dmitry Medvedev.

In parallel, the agile businessman managed several more major insurance objects of the country, being a member of the directors. They are JSC RusMed, Regional Insurance Company, JSC Russian Reinsurance Company, and even Mandatory Medical Insurance Fund.

And in 1995, Reznik Vladislav Matusovich, whose photo had already flashed in the media, headed Rosgosstrakh. With this company, Reznik's name is associated with a loud scandal. In 1998, he tried with great profit for himself to privatize the state facility, for which he was fired. But later, through the court, he was reinstated as chairman and even received compensation.

All this time, under the control of Vladislav Matusovich, remained "Rus", where he owned a controlling stake. In 2002, having sold its 50.2% to the Germans, I received ten million dollars for it.

On the activities in the insurance business Reznik is very fond of telling journalists. So, for example, in one of the interviews he said that he always made decisions on payment if he saw that he was not fraudsters in front of him, even in cases when the applicants did not have enough documents. It is the payment of a successful businessman who considers the best advertisement for the insurer.

Policy

At the very beginning of his great voyage, Reznik Vladislav Matusovich realized that business without politics can not be fully managed. In the early 90's, he joined the movement "Democratic Choice of Russia" and joined the political council of his office in St. Petersburg. But closer to 2000, the businessman changed the "right" to pro-Kremlin "Unity".

There is information that many people rejected Reznik's candidacy for the post of State Duma deputy, calling this person dubious, but he supposedly needed Putin, and he was registered.

In 1999, Russia received a new deputy on behalf of Reznik Vladislav Matusovich. The State Duma has replenished with a very active member, which has become a link between it and the government.

Further, the "insurer" did not leave politics anymore. His deputy mandate he received in 2003, and in 2007, and in 2011, every time running for United Russia.

Initiatives

Reznik really liked the policy. He often states in the press that the lawmaking brings him real pleasure. And he confirms his words with his deeds: only in September 2012 they were registered 237 bills, and he spoke 631 times from the rostrum. According to Forbes magazine, Vladislav Matusovich is the most influential and active deputy of the State Duma.

The main sphere of activity of this people's choice, of course, is finance. Because in them he is a king and a god. Officially Reznik struggles in his deputy post with criminal proceeds and their legalization. Unofficially, it lobbies interests of various insurance companies, including foreign ones. At least in this he is accused.

So, for example, according to one of Reznik's bills, the minimum statutory capital of a medical insurance company should be 120 million rubles. Obviously, such a norm is beneficial to large "fishes" in the world of insurance business.

Spanish scandal

But not only around the legislative initiatives of Vladislav Matusovich, scandals are constantly flaring up, and there are other reasons.

For example, a very strong noise rose in 2008, when in Spain the villa of the "insurer" was searched. This happened within the framework of the case of Gennady Petrov, leader of the "Tambov", accused by Spanish law enforcers of a variety of crimes: money laundering, tax evasion, drug trafficking, smuggling and contract killings.

Reznik with Petrov was friends and even bought from him that same villa, without indicating, by the way, the fact of purchase in the declaration. In addition, in 2009, the Spaniards accused him of kidnapping a man who allegedly was a debtor to Gennady Petrov.

The Russian side then stated that the accusations were bloated and of a political nature. Naturally, everything was denied by the deputy himself, Reznik Vladislav Matusovich.

Resnick's neighborhood

It is possible that the Spanish prosecutors had reason to blame Reznik in cooperation with Petrov. After all, we all know that even at the start of his career, he closely communicated with representatives of the Tambov group. True, the history is silent about exactly what role it played there.

Also in the surroundings of Reznik were Herman Gref, father and son of Molchanov, Mikhail Manevich, who helped Vladislav Matusovich's business to buy real estate in the center of Petersburg, Zakhar Semushka, Denis Volchek and other prominent figures of politics and business. Some with a clear criminal "smell."

Gossip

One of the persistent rumors associated with Vladislav Reznik is the talk about his unconventional sexual orientation, which he allegedly carefully conceals. Journalists even assumed that the politician is headed in the Duma by an informal group of deputies, assembled on this principle. Like, all of them (Igor Dinis, Vladimir Golovlev, Andrei Wolf, Vladimir Semenov, Alexander Makarov and others) are homosexuals. And in the sphere of their influence, the budget, taxes, defense and state security.

Reznik does not confirm his belonging to sex minorities, but repeatedly openly criticized proposals that would infringe on the rights of such people at the legislative level.

Papa gently loves his heirs, and his future is not indifferent to him. He dreamed that the eldest son should follow in his footsteps, and the dream came true: the offspring became a financier. But the daughter of Reznik had the career of an architect, but she found herself in consulting.

The youngest child of a statesman was born Diana Gindin, an American citizen, whom the businessman met in the 90's.

Many consider this marriage to be only a screen, but nevertheless it exists. To his younger son Reznik also prepares the way in the financial sphere. For the sake of the child the native inhabitant of the megalopolis moved from St. Petersburg to the suburbs, having built a house not far from the Northern capital.

Income

Later, the politician began to drastically grow poor. In 2009, only 103 million was declared by Reznik Vladislav Matusovich. His wife, Diana Gindin, at the same time reported to the tax about 109 million. The businessman himself did not think that this was not enough, explaining that he only received interest and did not sell anything.

In 2012, for Reznik again counted one and a half billion. In addition, the spouses own a huge home ownership, an area of more than 224 square meters, other residential and non-residential real estate, land and cars, the number of which probably already exceeded two dozen.

Characteristics of personality

People, describing Vladislav Reznik, mark his love for scams. They say that on the way to the goal, he is ready to go over his head and is capable of baseness, considering all means to be justified.

The very same businessman and politician calls on nothing and never take it to heart. Even money, and even more so! After all, in his opinion, wealth and happiness are things that are by no means identical. Than to roll by millions, it is much more pleasant to look into the eyes of a smiling child, the politician believes.
