From January 2008 to December 2011 he was the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to NATO . From December 2011 to May 2018 he was one of the Deputy Prime Ministers in the Government of the Russian Federation . Rogozin represents ethno-nationalist and imperialist positions and maintains contacts with right-wing extremists and associations. Since May 2018 he has been head of the Russian space organization Roskosmos .

Life

Rogozin's father, Oleg Konstantinowitsch Rogozin, was Lieutenant General in the Soviet Army and until 1989 Deputy Chief of the Armaments Service in the Defense Ministry of the Soviet Union. After completing school, Dmitri Rogozin studied at the Journalism Faculty of Lomonosov University and graduated as a journalist. In 1988 he graduated as an economist. In 1992 he visited Transnistria , which today leads him to claim that he “fought for Transnistria himself”.

In 1993 he became a member of the ethnonationalist organization Congress of the Russian Communities (KRO). The organization dealt mainly with the alleged discrimination of the Russian majority by ethnic minorities, the protection of ethnic Russians in the post-Soviet space and the restoration of the "historical naturalness" of Russian territory. Rogozin and other Russian ethnonationalists believe that the interests of ethnic Russians in and outside Russia are being ignored. The KRO was led by Alexander Lebed . A short time later, Rogozin took over this position from Lebed. In 1996, Rogozin earned a PhD in philosophy.

Member of the Duma

In 1997 he came to the Duma as a deputy from Voronezh . He achieved fame as a member of the left-wing nationalist Rodina party , which won 9.2% of the vote in the 2003 Russian parliamentary election and received 37 seats in the Duma. Alongside Sergei Nikolajewitsch Baburin and Sergei Jurjewitsch Glasjew , Rogozin was one of Rodina's most visible MPs. In 2003 he became chairman of the party and later parliamentary group chairman. Prior to the elections to the Moscow City Duma in 2005, Rogozin appeared in a xenophobic election advertisement by his party calling for Moscow to be cleaned of “rubbish”, meaning immigrants from the Caucasus. Due to the party's unexpected success in the 2003 parliamentary election and the growing popularity of leading Rodina politicians, the Kremlin disbanded the party in 2006. Rogozin resigned from both party and parliamentary group chairmanship.

After leaving the Rodina party, he organized the annual Russian March together with the “ Movement Against Illegal Migration ” (DPNI) . In 2007 Rogozin and Andrei Savelyov from the DPNI founded the Velikaya Rossija (Great Russia) movement , an association of Russian nationalists from which a party was to emerge. Rogozin has been active in the movement since then, but Savelev took over the chairmanship.

Representative of Russia to NATO

In January 2008, the then Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Rogozin as the representative of the Russian Federation to NATO in Brussels . On December 23, 2011, he moved to the government of the Russian Federation as Deputy Prime Minister. Speaking at the Yaroslavl International Political Forum in 2011, he said the West had infected Russia with multiculturalism and "excessive tolerance" towards minorities. As a result, non-Russians are overly favored, while Russians are exposed to social and ethnic discrimination. He maintains contacts with the right-wing Rassemblement National Party in France. Rogozin's tenure as representative of the Russian Federation to NATO ended in December 2011 when he moved to the government of the Russian Federation.

Deputy Prime Minister

From December 2011 to May 2018, Rogozin was one of the Deputy Prime Ministers in the Government of the Russian Federation .

On March 17, 2014, Rogozin's name was added to the list of those whose assets are blocked in the US in response to Russia's role in the Crimean crisis . A few days later he was also put on the sanctions list of Canada and the EU, so Rogozin is subject to an entry ban for the territory of the EU and Canada. Rogozin replied that the Russian defense industry offers many opportunities to travel the world without a visa . Rogozin's provocative remarks to other countries are well known.

On May 9, 2014, he caused diplomatic resentment when he announced on Twitter that he would soon be visiting Romania with a Tu-160 bomber . A statement by Rogozin is also known for India; In 2012, Rogozin said he could be spit in the face if his country were ever to deliver weapons to India's enemies. In India it was registered with outrage that Russia had concluded arms deals with Pakistan in the spring of 2014.

After construction delays, Rogozin took over the coordination of the construction site of the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Far East of Russia in 2014 . The Vostochny Cosmodrome to the on Kazakh lying area launch site Baikonur complement and reduce dependence on Kazakhstan.

As head of the Russian Arctic Commission, Rogozin said on Russian television in May 2015 that the Arctic played a particularly important role for Russia. "It's our territory, it's our shelf, and we'll keep it safe and make money there," he said. Other states would probably put Russia on the sanctions list, "but tanks do not need a visa," added Rogozin.

In July 2017, there was a diplomatic scandal between Romania and Russia. On the way to the Moldovan capital Chișinău, Romanian officials prevented the plane, in which Rogozin was also sitting, from overflight and forced the plane to turn off. This then ended up in the Belarusian capital Minsk.

As Deputy Prime Minister, Rogozin helped shape various dossiers, for example in space travel, inland waterway transport and civil protection, in a total of 22 work areas.
