Instead of Vladimir Yakunin, who is retiring to the Federation Council, the head of Russian Railways will be First Deputy Minister of Transport Oleg Belozerov. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev entrusted the new president of the monopoly with two main tasks - to solve the financial and investment problems of Russian Railways OJSC and to ensure the functioning of passenger transportation.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev appointed Deputy Head of the Ministry of Transport Oleg Belozerov as the new president of Russian Railways. “I have decided to appoint you as head of Russian Railways with the simultaneous dismissal of the first deputy minister of transport,” the prime minister said on Thursday at a meeting with the new top manager. According to Mr. Medvedev, Mr. Belozerov will have to solve several main problems. “The first point is the budget and investments, taking into account the rather complex parameters of the current state of the economy and the income of Russian Railways,” said the head of government. “And the second is passenger transportation. There are a lot of complaints here, people are unhappy when routes are cancelled. On the other hand, the railroad should receive money for this. You will have to decide how to combine these approaches with the participation of the government and regional authorities.”
Information about the possible transfer of Vladimir Yakunin from Russian Railways to the Federation Council appeared on August 17: his candidacy was nominated by the acting governor of the Kaliningrad region Nikolai Tsukanov. On August 18, the impending departure of Mr. Yakunin, who is on vacation, from Russian Railways OJSC was actually officially confirmed, including by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The candidacy of Oleg Belozerov as Vladimir Yakunin’s successor was assumed by many Kommersant sources after the first information about the transfer of the president of Russian Railways to the Federation Council. But some of Kommersant’s interlocutors doubted the possibility of Mr. Belozerov’s appointment, since, in their opinion, it would be too sharp a career rise for him.
Oleg Belozerov was born in 1969, graduated from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance with a degree in economics. He worked at Lenenergo, in the office of the presidential envoy in the Northwestern Federal District, and headed the Russian Fuel Company. In 2004, he went to work at Rosavtodor, where he first worked as deputy head, and then headed the agency for five years. In March 2009, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation.
As Oleg Belozerov told Dmitry Medvedev, he plans to focus on “continuing to improve the efficiency of the company,” including on socially oriented areas, cargo transportation, increasing traffic speed and increasing the efficiency of investments.
The new job will pose a serious challenge for Mr. Belozerov. Experts interviewed by Kommersant agreed that the new manager should not expect such an influx of state funds into the company that Mr. Yakunin sought. Accordingly, we will have to seriously reduce costs. The economic situation does not imply an increase in loading in the near future, which decreased by 1.6% in January-July. At the end of the year, as JSC Russian Railways admits, it may decrease not by 1.1%, as previously assumed, but by 2.5%. Also, Mr. Belozerov will have to make a number of key decisions, including on the target market model, liberalization of locomotive traction, and approaches to the formation of an investment program.

Who was predicted to be the leader of Russian Railways
The head of the Kaliningrad region, Nikolai Tsukanov, nominated the head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin, to the post of member of the Federation Council (FC), who, according to him, is a “friend of the region.” In the Federation Council, Mr. Yakunin is tipped for the highest positions. Kommersant's source in Russian Railways considered that only a person with comparable apparatus weight can replace Mr. Yakunin, but he is practically unattainable. It is on this weight, says Kommersant’s interlocutor, that Russian Railways have been holding on all these years.
Oleg Belozerov is a Russian statesman and public figure, an active first-class state adviser, a young official and the head of road transport enterprises. For his professionalism, in May 2009 he was appointed to the position of Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, and on August 20, 2015 he received a promotion and, by decree of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, was appointed to the position of head of OJSC Russian railways».
Belozerov Oleg Valentinovich was born on September 26, 1969 in the Latvian city of Ventspils. My parents worked as doctors in a local clinic: my father was a radiologist, my mother was a neurologist. From an early age, the boy's serious hobby became athletics - long jump and sprint. Oleg achieved amazing results in the 400 m race. His school record still remains officially unbroken.
Even as a child, the boy was impressed by the railway. Oleg loved to travel around Latvia with his parents, and then made small trips on his own. The romantic nature was surprised medieval castles, past which the train rushed. Such travels left indelible memories in Belozerov’s memory.
Oleg was an exemplary student at school, striving to gain knowledge, which allowed him to successfully graduate from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance in 1992 and receive a diploma in economics in industrial planning. In addition to receiving higher education Oleg Belozerov repaid his debt to his homeland by serving for a year on the border with Norway, in Murmansk. A young man completed his service in the sports company.
After graduating from university, Belozerov decided to continue his studies, so he entered graduate school to receive a Ph.D. And here he was expected to succeed: Oleg defended his dissertation on the topic “Organization of supply logistics in vertically integrated corporate-type structures” and became a candidate of economic sciences.
Having received a higher education, Oleg Valentinovich first worked in his specialty and gained valuable experience in his chosen field of activity. As a result, the biography of Oleg Belozerov reached another level. Thanks to hard work and perseverance, the future head of JSC Russian Railways entered the world of energy, taking a leadership position in the company JSC Lenenergo.
Career
Since 2000, Oleg Belozerov’s career has been continuously connected with the road transport sector. The first position at the new stage of his biography was Freight Motor Transport Enterprise No. 21, in which he served as deputy director. After working for a while in his post, Oleg Valentinovich ended up in the office of the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District, where he headed the financial and economic department.
In 2002, the future head of Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov was invited to OJSC LOMO to the position of head of corporate property management, and at the end of the same year he was appointed general director of OJSC Russian Fuel Company. Two years later, Oleg Valentinovich received a promotion and became deputy head of the Federal Road Agency, which he headed literally six months later. Over the next five years, until 2009 inclusive, Belozerov led the road agency and proved his professionalism in this field.
In 2009, he was noticed by the government Russian Federation, where as a result he ended up as the country's Deputy Minister of Transport. At the Ministry of Transport, the future head of Russian Railways dealt with the development of roads and railways, establishing himself as a responsible employee who, despite difficulties with the budget and investment, did a lot for the country in this direction.
During his career, Oleg Belozerov’s achievements were repeatedly awarded with honorary titles and awards. In 2004, he was awarded the sign “Honorary Worker of the Fuel and Energy Complex”, in 2006 he received the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree, and in 2014 he became the owner of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 4th degree.
On August 20, 2015, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Oleg Belozerov was appointed to the post of head of Russian Railways. The decree on the appointment was signed by the country's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who instructed Oleg Valentinovich to begin performing duties in the new position without “swinging.” Belozerov managed to get this post after his predecessor Vladimir Yakunin voluntarily resigned, leaving the chair of the head of the Russian state-owned vertically integrated company, one of the three largest in the world.
The change in leadership occurred due to the fact that the previous head of Russian Railways was unable to organize the work of the monopoly organization without constant preferences from the state budget. Belozerov was tasked with optimizing industry costs.
In his new position as head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov had to develop promising projects planned by the former leadership, which included the reconstruction of railways in Serbia, the construction of the Trans-Korean Railway, and the continuation of the construction of high-speed highways in Russia in the Moscow-Kazan direction. At the same time, the new head of Russian Railways was given the task of “combining approaches” in passenger transportation, reduce the percentage of passenger dissatisfaction with the services provided by the transport company and maintain the economic level of Russian Railways, preventing the enterprise from becoming unprofitable.
Belozerov has high competition with the former head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin, who did a lot to develop the largest infrastructure monopoly, but he immediately began to fulfill his duties. The new head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov, focused on increasing the speed of traffic in Russia, and also made efforts to invest capital in this industry of the Russian Federation.
First of all, the company got rid of unprofitable assets, but at the same time continued to finance railway hospitals, clinics, as well as football and hockey clubs"Locomotive". The new head of Russian Railways made personnel changes and increased the flow of container traffic. Russian Railways refused to purchase imported rails; instead, agreements were concluded with the Russian metallurgical companies Evraz and Mechel.
Freight prices were raised by 9% and some benefits were abolished, which increased Russian Railways' profits. On the one hand, this measure allowed the company to completely do without financial injections from the state, on the other hand, it became an indirect tax for Russian citizens, as prices for transported goods increased. But already in 2016, the corporation achieved maximum cargo transportation figures for the first time in recent years.
Personal life
Oleg Belozerov’s personal life is as stable as his work activity. The head of Russian Railways has been married to Olga Alexandrovna since 1994 and has two children. Son Matvey was born in 1996 and is receiving a diploma in journalism. Daughter Veronica, born in 2001, is deciding on her choice of university. Family photos of the head of Russian Railways do not appear in the media.
Oleg Valentinovich did not appear in scandals either regarding career issues or personal ones. Friends and relatives consider him an excellent family man, a caring father and a loving husband.
Oleg Belozerov’s income in 2014, according to information from official sources, amounted to a little more than 12 million rubles, and his wife earned the same amount. The head of Russian Railways also owns an apartment with an area of almost 220 square meters. meters, cottage and land.
Oleg Belozerov now
In 2017, the Russian Railways company, under the leadership of Belozerov, achieved record profit levels, which amounted to 139.7 billion rubles, which influenced the growth of the salary of the head of the holding. If in 2015 Belozerov earned 86.2 million rubles for the year, then in 2016 the amount of annual income amounted to 172.9 million rubles. Unlike his predecessor, Belozerov files his tax return openly. This growth is due to the high efficiency of Oleg Valentinovich.
In the same year, Belozerov appealed to the country’s leadership with a request to change the title of his position from “president” to “general director”, since the second name is accepted in international practice.
In May 2017, at a meeting with Chinese colleagues in Beijing, Oleg Belozerov became ill, and the general director of the Russian company was hospitalized with a diagnosis of appendicitis. Oleg Belozerov was successfully operated on at the hospital.
Now Belozerov continues to improve the work of the Russian Railways holding company, but in 2018 he was unable to increase tariffs for reserved seat seats due to the intervention of the antimonopoly service.
Oleg Belozerov was born in the Latvian port town of Ventspils. Oleg Belozerov's childhood passed among the cozy streets of this city, rich in attractions and filled with clean sea air. But the smart boy did not see sufficient prospects in his native land and after graduating from school he decided to move to Leningrad, where he entered the Leningrad Financial and Economic Institute (LFEI).
In those years, the future chairman of the board of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, studied at the LFEI graduate school, and the laboratory of regional economic problems was headed by the now famous economist Andrei Illarionov. And although Oleg Belozerov could not establish close relations with them then, the face of the young student was remembered by both, and ten years later he managed to join the so-called “St. Petersburg team.” In addition, Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov even had common acquaintances with the future wife of Dmitry Medvedev, Svetlana Linnik, who also graduated from this educational institution. True, he did not know Svetlana herself.
The most important institute acquaintance for Oleg Belozerov was Andrei Likhachev, who was several years older than him and already had certain connections. After Oleg Belozerov received his higher education, Likhachev introduced him to St. Petersburg businessman Andrei Kadkin. For some time they tried to start their own business, opening various offices, which, however, could not be called successful.
This was the case until Likhachev, who had connections in the energy sector, proposed to establish the Lagun construction company, which was to become a contractor for Lenenergo. Oleg Belozerov became a co-founder and, at the same time, deputy general director for economics and finance. The third co-founder was Kadkin.
It should be noted that this Kadkin did not always conduct business cleanly. For example, free construction materials received from the Morozov Defense Plant were used to fulfill orders for Lenenergo. Andrei Olegovich’s style of work will continue in the future, which will ultimately lead to the initiation of a criminal case for the theft of 3 billion rubles from the St. Petersburg budget. In those years, Oleg Belozerov also met a friend of Kadkin, co-owner of the Yavara-Neva judo sports club.
Oleg Belozerov and career
In 1998, Likhachev managed to obtain for Oleg Belozerov a good place in Lenenergo itself, and a year later Andrei Nikolaevich himself became the general director of this company. Under his patron, Oleg Belozerov rose from deputy commercial director for fuel to commercial director. True, over time he was transferred to the position of head of the department for logistics and transport at Lenenergo.
All these movements took place literally in one year, and already in 2000, Oleg Belozerov left for OJSC Freight Motor Transport Enterprise No. 21, where he became deputy general director. It is not known why Oleg Belozerov left, but literally a few months later Likhachev, who managed to be the vice-governor of St. Petersburg and establish connections with government officials, offered him a place in the office of the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District. But even here Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov did not last long and moved to the LOMO company.
During these years, the first wave of transfers to Moscow “St. Petersburg” posts had already passed, and a second, more massive one began. People were indiscriminately recruited for good positions, guided only by their St. Petersburg origin and their connections “at the top.” It was in this wave that Oleg Belozerov found himself. Likhachev and Kadkin discovered that there was a vacant position for the head of OJSC Russian Fuel Company (Rostopprom), more than 70% of the shares of which belonged to the state, and recommended Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov for the position.
Rostopprom at that time was almost the only company that was involved in the peat industry and also mined coal. Belozerov’s patrons have already tried to penetrate this structure through the board of directors, providing support to Arkady Rotenberg’s son Igor. And although the attempt was unsuccessful, Igor Arkadyevich Rotenberg was hired as deputy head of the property department of the fuel and energy complex. And if Rotenberg Jr., who does not have a higher education, took such a rather large position, then why shouldn’t Oleg Belozerov head the entire company?
The candidacy of Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov began to circulate through various ministries from the Ministry of Energy to the Ministry of Property. Few people had any idea who it was or whose frame it was. When Oleg Belozerov’s case came to the personnel apparatus of the Presidential Administration, at first the personnel officers with Old Square The candidate’s frequent job changes were confusing, so he was “rejected.” We had to convey the information that this was “our” person and his candidacy needed to be approved. In order to change the management of Rostopprom, an extraordinary meeting of shareholders was even convened. As a result, Oleg Belozerov successfully took the desired position.
Oleg Belozerov and FDA
Oleg Belozerov worked at Rostopprom for two years, even seeming to show good results. In 2004, it became known that the post of head of the Federal Road Agency (FDA), headed by Anatoly Nasonov, would soon be vacated. The then Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov decided to remove him from his post on the advice of President Vladimir Putin, who, while still the head of the Main Control Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation, achieved Nasonov’s resignation from the post of head of the Federal Road Service for numerous cases of misuse of funds.
At that time, about $3 billion was allocated for the agency. On the one hand, after Nasonov, it was necessary to find a person with an unblemished reputation, and at the same time capable of rectifying the deplorable situation with the roads, i.e. having sufficient management experience. On the other hand, it was impossible to hire someone from outside for such big money. Oleg Belozerov at that time was firmly established as part of the “St. Petersburg team”, and his biography and business qualities gave reason to hope that it would not raise questions among the professional community. In addition, the Rotenberg brothers entered the “road business”, to whom Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov was not a stranger at all.
So in November 2004, Oleg Belozerov became the head of the Federal Road Agency. And naturally Belozerov saw his first task as placing his people in key places. So, for example, in 2005, Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov set out to appoint his own man, Viktor Ivanov, as head of the Center for International Transport (ITC). At the same time, he acted ahead, not paying attention to labor legislation. Thus, Oleg Belozerov dismissed the head of the Center for Medical Management, Viktor Brazhny, directly from vacation. However, the result of such a personnel decision was disastrous. Ivanov, not understanding anything about the work that was entrusted to him, sharply worsened the quality of the Center’s work.
Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov, despite the fact that he often complained about a chronic lack of money and advocated for toll roads, still generally coped well with the tasks assigned. Under him, a number of major road projects were launched. True, the statements of Oleg Belozerov himself often contradicted each other. On the one hand, he stated that 60% of roads are in unsatisfactory condition, and if funding does not change, in 10 years this figure will increase to 80%, on the other hand, he reported that all Russian car roads will be brought into compliance by 2013.
Over time, the head of Rosavtodor began to mercilessly criticize his own department, complaining about its limited organizational capabilities in the face of growing bureaucratic red tape and constantly changing legislation. Oleg Belozerov saw attracting investment to the agency as the only prospect. He promised that by 2015, financing from external sources will reach 1 trillion. rubles
Despite all these facts, during the time that Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov was in office, the length of public roads in Russia increased by 32%. The then President Dmitry Medvedev noticed the successes of the head of Rosavtodor, and in February Oleg Belozerov was included in the so-called “first hundred” of the management personnel reserve. And already in March 2009, he was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation.
Oleg Belozerov Minister
In his new post, he continued to support the idea of toll roads. The most famous such project, which was launched back when Oleg Belozerov headed Rosavtodor, is toll road Moscow, Saint Petersburg. The tender for the work was naturally won by the Rotenberg brothers, as they won many other projects - the construction of the federal highway M-4 Don, M-11 Narva and M9 Baltia. According to the plan, the road was supposed to partially pass through the Khimki forest park. It was against this plan that residents of the city of Khimki, led by activist Evgenia Chirikova, began to protest.
Oleg Belozerov then claimed that the project had passed three environmental examinations and received five positive conclusions from the Glavgosexpertiza, which, among others, included sections on environmental protection. In response, Chirikova provided papers from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank, which stated that the banks were not going to finance the project due to the fact that its environmental review had not been completed.
Soon they demanded an answer from Oleg Belozerov for another incident. In 2010, the so-called “dancing bridge” in the Volgograd region created a big stir, when one could watch how the many-kilometer bridge literally moved in waves. Having flown to the scene of the incident, the deputy minister explained everything by aerodynamics. And, it would seem, what demand is there for Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov, he wasn’t the one who built the bridge. But the whole point is that the work of engineers on this bridge was accepted by Rosavtodor, even under Oleg Belozerov.
But all these minor failures had little effect on the reputation of Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov. And when in 2010 there were rumors about the imminent resignation of Transport Minister Igor Levitin, all experts unanimously said that his deputy should replace him. Then it was believed that the young promising politician would have to strengthen Medvedev’s position. Moreover, it was he who headed the Operational Headquarters of the Russian Ministry of Transport to eliminate the consequences emergency V Krasnodar region after the flood in Krymsk. But by 2012 the situation had changed, and Maxim Sokolov became minister.
In 2013, Oleg Belozerov began to lose his hardware positions. Thus, observers demanded that the results of the tender for laying a tunnel at Sheremetyevo airport be declared invalid. The tender was then won by the Rotenberg company TPS Avia Group. The competition for this work was called profanation.
In order to strengthen his influence, Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov decided to carry out a personnel purge in his native Rosavtodor. Belozerov then set himself the main task of replacing the director of the organization, Roman Starovoit, with his own man. Such a person was Starovoit’s deputy, Andrei Kostyuk, who began by purging lower-level personnel and launched a campaign to discredit his leader, “framing” him in every possible way. It was assumed that Oleg Belozerov would “punch” Kostyuk’s candidacy for the post of director of Rosavtodor. At the same time, there were rumors that Kostyuk would protect the interests of St. Petersburg crime boss Vladimir Golubev, nicknamed “Barmaley.” But in the end, the resignation never took place.
Although the prospects further growth for Oleg Valentinovich Belozerov remained vague, he settled in his place quite firmly. Thus, it was he who was appointed responsible for the implementation of the presidential decree on doubling the pace of road construction.
Oleg Belozerov is a Russian statesman and manager, president of Russian Railways OJSC, chairman of the Council of the NPF Blagosostoyanie.
