short biography

A native of St. Petersburg was born in March 1969. The kind of sport that I've been doing since childhood is academic rowing. The title was MSMK, which allowed me to choose the path of a sports functionary. Having graduated from the Novosibirsk State University in 1993, P.F. Lesgaft, a few years later, Julia Anikeeva entered the Higher School of Business at Moscow State University. Experience in commerce helped in 2003 to create a marketing agency JSA, engaged in the conduct of mass sports events.

In 2005, she made an attempt to head the Rowing Federation. After the failure at the elections, I focused on the activities of my agency, participating in the organization of an international regatta timed to the City Day in Moscow. The event was so successful that it became annual.

Having declared herself in the official circles, she received the post of executive director of the Association of Student Basketball, and later - amateurs of rowing. In parallel, she received a higher legal education (2009), which allowed to apply for the highest positions in management structures.

Rowing or basketball?

Yulia Anikeeva, whose biography represents her an effective manager in the sports industry, undertook the holding of an elite event in Krasnodar - the presidential regatta. Having received more than 100 million rubles from the budget, she spent them on repair and construction of rowing facilities. Declared as a top-level competition, it could not collect the athletes of the corresponding rank, so the woman completed her cooperation with the rowing federation, switching to basketball.

This sport is surely one of the three most popular among fans of the country. In addition, she had connections in the presidential administration. Sergei Ivanov led the league of VTB, and Julia Anikeeva became his deputy (December 2011). The further career of the woman will be connected with basketball, which she had not previously professionally engaged in. In July 2013, Alexander Krasnenkov left the post of the head of the Federation, and the acting hero was assigned to this article.

Elections by the President of the RSE

The official election of the sixth President of the RSE took place in early August. The struggle broke out between Svetlana Abrosimova (63 votes) and Julia Anikeeva (97). Voting on the recommendation of the IOC was held secretly, but it was preceded by many hours of heated debate, during which the distinguished delegates split into two camps. Yulia Anikeeva received support from Yevgeny Gomelsky, who headed the coaching council of the RSE, his predecessor Sergei Chernov and ex-mentor of the male national team Sergei Yelevich.

On the eve of the resignation filed the acting coach of the men's team F. Katsikaris, a specialist with a world-wide reputation, accused in an open letter and. about. President of the RSE in intervening in his work. Against Anikeeva united V. Dvurechensky (Moscow Basketball Federation) and A. Vatutin (CSKA), which did not prevent the election of Yulia Sergeevna President of the RSE. But already in December 2013, the court of the election results will be declared invalid.

"Achievements" at the post

Why was the case in court? The main reason is the conflict that erupted between Russian clubs and the RSE, which decided to demand contributions for the certification of foreign legionaries. It was about the amount of 150 million rubles, which the clubs categorically refused to pay. FIBA, in the person of Secretary General P. Bauman, sent a letter to the RSE in which he suggested resolving the conflict within three days, threatening with the disqualification of the national team and Russian clubs if the dispute is not settled.

After the court decision on the illegitimacy of the 2013 elections, Julia Anikeeva, whose photo is presented in the article, continued her work as acting, remaining on the post for another year and a half. During this time:

• The women's and men's teams "failed" at the European Championship-2013 (coaches: V. Karasev and A. Vainauskas).
• In the RSE, a commission on ethics was created, which turned the game for the national team into compulsory service.
• The main men's and women's teams did not participate in the 2014 World Cup because of the non-payment of a wild card.
• The judges were detained by a salary. From accounts on fraudulent schemes, funds disappeared with a debt of 17 million rubles.

Julia Anikeeva's husband and his role

A number of delegates were not admitted to the 2013 RSF conference, but the right to vote was given to Konstantin Grinwald (Bakhvalov), the head of the companies, where his wife, Yu. Anikeeva, was the founder. In the past, a riot policeman, a spouse of 10 years (since 1993) was on the federal wanted list after the abuse of authority. When he was detained, a fake passport was found. For falsifying documents and illegal business, Greenwald was convicted, but was released in the courtroom under an amnesty. Julia Anikeeva was checked for involvement in forgery of documents, but she escaped punishment.

Spouses worked out a regime of favoring for the family business when Yulia Sergeevna occupied key posts. After in August 2015, the woman resigned her powers and. about. President of the RSE, the new leader A. Kirilenko conducted an audit, which, as a result, against Yu.S. Anikeeva was prosecuted, and she herself was under house arrest. Mother of three children, a woman to this day remains a man with a tarnished reputation.

Afterword

The final point in the case of fraud will be put by the court. Will Anikaeva Julia Sergeyevna defend its honest name, or the fact of fraud will be proved? To date, the ex-manager of the men's team of D. Domani is also on the wanted list, speaking in the press on the fact of pressure from the investigation. His appeal to the Prosecutor General confirms that the situation is not as straightforward as it seems at first glance.
