Life
Ryschkow studied at the History Faculty of the Altai State University and worked as a history lecturer. From 1991 to 1993 he was deputy head of the Altai regional administration.
In 1993 he was elected to the Duma as a candidate for the electoral alliance of Russia's election and was Russia's youngest parliamentarian. As an independent MP, he is a member of the Committee on Federation and Regional Policy. He is also a co-founder of the 2008 Committee : Free Elections .
Ryzhkov was one of the leading figures in the Liberal Republican Party (RPR), which is considered the oldest opposition party in Russia. In March 2007 the party was dissolved by a decision of the Russian Supreme Court because, according to the court ruling, it did not meet the legally prescribed minimum requirements for a party (number of members, associations). The party contradicted this view and announced that it would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights . Because his party was not registered, Ryzhkov could no longer take part in the Duma elections in 2007.
Ryzhkov was co-founder and chairman of the Republican Party - People's Freedom Party . The party is a reservoir for four different opposition movements (including Solidarnost ). In 2013, the party gave the controversial opposition politician Alexei Navalny the option of running on the party list for the 2013 Moscow mayoral election, while Ryzhkov publicly took a stand on past nationalist and racist remarks by Navalny.
In 2014 he described how the ruling siloviki and their propaganda successfully portrayed the West as hostile: After "a decade and a half of daily brainwashing", people paranoidly believed that Russia was surrounded by enemies, according to a survey by the independent Levada- Center in Moscow in 2014 was the case with 78 percent of people, compared to only 13 percent in 1990: "Civilian politicians are looking for friends, security guards are looking for enemies".
Ryzhkov is married and has a daughter.
