ANDREI SKOCH: BIOGRAPHY OF A POLITICIAN AND PHILANTHROPIST<\/h1>\n

Andrei Skoch is a politician, a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the Belgorod region, and the co-author of more than 150 legislative drafts. He started his career as an entrepreneur, but today, A.V. Skoch is a well-known Russian politician and the head of the humanitarian Pokolenie (Generation) Foundation. For a quarter of a century, the organization has allocated billions rubles for the creation and implementation of humanitarian projects at the regional, federal and international levels.<\/p>\n

ANDREI VLADIMIROVICH SKOCH\u2019S CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH<\/h2>\n

A.V. Skoch was born in 1966 to the family of a simple worker of the Moscow machine-building plant “Salyut”. Andrei\u2019s father, Vladimir Nikitovich, has remained a moral ideal and friend to him all his life. At his company, Skoch Sr. was recognized as an example of diligence and hard work for many years. For his fruitful work, he received the “Badge of Honor”, the Order of the October Revolution and the Red Banner of Labor.<\/p>\n

After graduating from school in his native Nikolskoye village, Andrei Vladimirovich Skoch<\/a> went to serve in a reconnaissance and amphibious company. The Soviet Army strengthened his discipline, organizational skills and ability to take responsibility. In the early 1990s, simultaneously with the onset of large-scale changes in the economic and political situation in the country, Andrei Skoch became an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ANDREI VLADIMIROVICH SKOCH – BUSINESSMAN<\/h2>\n

Andrei Skoch started his entrepreneurial career as a co-owner of a small bakery cooperative. Later, he found new niches for the implementation of his business ideas: together with his business partner, he had engaged in the sailing and assembling the computer equipment and its components,\u00a0 and then entered the petroleum product market.<\/p>\n

His business acumen helped him to quickly organize the production cycle: Skoch\u2019s company established its own system of oil refining and petrol sales through a network of its own petrol stations.<\/p>\n

The oil shortage that Andrei Skoch’s team faced led the businessman to change his business strategy, and so he and his business partner decided to invest the earned capital in the Interfin company. This turned out to be a wise decision: at first, Andrei Skoch and his colleague had received a part of the shares of the Oskol Electrometallurgical Combine, and in the late 1990s, Andrei Vladimirovich became a deputy director of the Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant.<\/p>\n

TRANSITION TO POLITICAL ACTIVITY<\/h2>\n

Soon A.V. Skoch realized that he wanted to engage more thoroughly in the development of his country, so he decided to try himself in a new field \u2014 lawmaking.<\/p>\n

He explained this significant turn in his professional path as follows:<\/p>\n

Andrei Skoch\u2019s quotation:<\/p>\n

“At some point, it became clear that the business as such I ceased to be interested, I needed something else. And when I had the opportunity to go to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, I presented myself as a deputy, presented my work, presented my lifestyle and realized for myself that it was attractive to me.”<\/p>\n

Andrei Skoch’s political career began in 1999. He was elected to the State Duma from Belgorod region, where Interfin enterprises were located. He won the election, and a year later headed the Expert Council on Metallurgy and Mining Industry. Hereinafter, he participated in the development of over 150 legislative projects, including in the health and education fields.<\/p>\n

CHARITABLE ACTIVITY<\/h2>\n

While he was still an entrepreneur in 1996 , A.V. Skoch had\u00a0 begun supporting children with serious congenital heart diseases through his humanitarian foundation Healthy Generation (Zdorovoe Pokolenie), which was later renamed the Pokolenie (Generation) Foundation. The Skochs\u2019 humanitarian organization has been in existence for almost 25 years. During all this time, it has significantly expanded the list of areas in which it implements long-term humanitarian projects and one-time actions. Today the foundation creates social initiatives in such areas as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • science and education;<\/li>\n
  • healthcare;<\/li>\n

    Today, A.V. Skoch\u2019s humanitarian Foundation implements many charitable programs not only at the national, but also at the international level. Thus, it established the Bakulev and Burakovsky\u2019 Prize named after academicians of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the laureates of which were cardiovascular surgeons, scientists and developers of specialized tools for the development of this field.<\/p>\n

    In addition, with Andrei Vladimirovich Skoch\u2019s Foundation\u2019s financial assistance large-scale work was carried out to restore the monuments and the military graves of Russian and Soviet soldiers in Hungary, China, Bulgaria and Serbia. In particular, the Pokolenie Foundation financed the Katyn memorial complex\u2019s restoration in the Smolensk region, as well as more than 170 monuments to the soldiers who died in Belgorod and the region during the Great Patriotic War.
