When you achieve something in one area you automatically start wondering whether you should try yourself in another. And that’s what happened with me. I’ve been interested in the subject of youth for a long time: first, in connection with sport; and then I became interested in youth policy as a whole – both in Russia and internationally.
So when I was offered a place on the United Russia party list for the State Duma elections I accepted almost immediately. In December I became a Duma deputy and was elected Deputy Chairman of the Youth Committee. I’m now doing a lot of background reading to try and understand everything that’s been done in this area, and I’m talking to experts, colleagues and voters.
What’s my goal? My goal is for any boy or girl to be able to fully realize their potential, to make the “can do” attitude possible here and now, rather than in some other life or country.

It’s very important for me that this site not only helps you to get to know me, but also helps me to understand you.
