Political career
After completing her studies, Ella Pamfilowa was a master craftsman and process engineer from 1976 to 1989 as well as chair of the trade union committee in the power company Mosenergo . During perestroika , she became a member of the CPSU in 1985 . Pamfilowa has been non-party since 1990. From 1989 to 1991 she was a people's delegate and a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in the Committee on the Environment and Natural Resource Management and in the Commission to Combat Corruption. Under Boris Yeltsin Pamfilova held the post of Minister for Social Welfare of the Russian Federation from 1991 to 1994. Pamfilova was elected a State Duma deputy for the Kaluga region in 1993 and chairman of the Public Council on Social Policy of the President of the Russian Federation in 1994. Since 1996 she has been the head of the non-governmental organization “For a Healthy Russia”. In 1999 she was voted out of the State Duma. In 2000, Ella Pamfilova became the first woman in Russian history to run for president and received 1.01 percent of the vote. In April of the same year, Pamfilova became a member of the Public Independent Commission to Investigate Crimes and Protect Human Rights in the North Caucasus. In July 2002 she was appointed chairman of the human rights commission of the President of the Russian Federation.
Chair of the Human Rights and Civil Society Development Council
From November 2004 to July 30, 2010, Ella Pamfilova was chair of the Council for Human Rights and Civil Society Development, founded by then President Vladimir Putin . Pamfilova repeatedly fought with forces loyal to the government and sharply criticized the supporters of the United Russia party of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin . Most recently she criticized the Putin-loyal youth organization Naschi , which symbolically impaled pictures with the heads of human rights activists and government critics on stakes in a summer camp on Lake Seliger and criticized these forces as traitors to Russia.
After her resignation, Ella Pamfilova declared that no one had pushed her to do so. However, her resignation took place exactly one day after the controversial law to expand the power of the domestic secret service came into force , which can now issue official warnings even if it is suspected of a possible crime. Pamfilova called on President Medvedev in June not to expand the rights of the FSB.
In 2014 she was proposed by President Putin for the post of human rights commissioner and confirmed by the State Duma. In May 2016, she was replaced by Tatiana Moskalkowa , who, unlike Pamfilowa, is considered conservative and loyal to the government.
