Anatoly Chubais ( Russian Анатолий Борисович Чубайс , scientific. Transliteration Anatoly Borisovič Čubajs * 16th June 1955 in Borisov , Minsk Region , Byelorussian SSR , Soviet Union , today in Belarus ) is a Russian politician and businessman .

Life

Tschubais, the son of a political officer in the Soviet Army , joined the CPSU in 1977 and graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Economics and Engineering (today Saint Petersburg State University of Engineering and Economics ). He worked there until 1982 as an engineer and assistant and from 1983 to 1990 as a lecturer. In 1983 he received his doctorate. From 1984 to 1987 he was the head of the informal group “Young Economists”, which was formed by a group of graduates from Leningrad Economics Schools, from which many leading reformers and entrepreneurs later emerged. In 1987 Chubais was one of the founders of the Leningrad Circle " Perestroika ", the aim of which was to spread democratic values ​​among the intelligentsia. In 1989 he became responsible for the economic reforms in Leningrad and in this capacity brought many reformers to the city in order to make Leningrad a model for economic reforms. From 1991 Chubais was considered one of the closest collaborators of the reformer Anatoly Sobchak , who was elected Lord Mayor of Leningrad that year.

In November 1991 he became Chairman of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for the Management of State Assets. In 1992 Chubai became Vice Prime Minister in the cabinet of Yegor Gaidar and from November 1994 to January 1996 first Vice Prime Minister and Finance Minister in the cabinet of Viktor Chernomyrdin . He was fired by Boris Yeltsin due to the great unpopularity of the economic reforms among the population. Nevertheless, Chubais led the 1996 presidential election campaign for Yeltsin. After Yeltsin's election victory, he headed the presidential administration and thus became the second most powerful man in the state. During this period, extensive privatizations were carried out, through which some Russian financiers rose to become super-rich oligarchs . In 1997, Chubais fell as finance minister over a financial affair, but retained his post as vice-prime minister until 1998. In 1993 and in the late 1990s, he was elected to the Duma as a candidate for the election of Russia party ( Выбор России ) .

Gaidar, Boris Nemtsov and Tschubais were described as young reformers and are associated with shock therapy , privatization (see also coupon privatization ) and the very controversial loans for share privatizations, as well as the rise of the oligarchs.

From April 1998 to June 2008 he was chairman of the now disbanded semi-public Russian electricity company EES Rossii (РАО "ЕЭС России"). He has been the target of five assassinations so far, the last time on March 17, 2005 while driving from his Moscow home to work.

Tschubais runs the state-owned Rusnano .

His older brother Igor Chubajs is a historian critical of the government and was head of the Center for Russian Studies at the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples in Moscow for 15 years.
