Useful tips

Pyotr Pavlovich Biryukov was born on July 12, 1951 in the village of Stary Buzets, Kursk region. Parents are collective farm workers. In 1968 he graduated from high school, and then served in the army for three years in a military construction detachment. Having returned, Peter entered the Kursk Pedagogical Institute to become a mathematics teacher. Graduated in 1979. For some time, Biryukov worked in his specialty at the Trinity 8-year school.

While still studying, in 1978, the future politician began working part-time in construction - in the Mostransstroy and Glavmosstroy trusts. In this area he made his way much faster than in education. He started as a senior foreman. He did not have a diploma of an appropriate higher education, but Peter quickly promoted to head of the trust department, then to deputy trust manager and chief engineer. Having given up teaching, Biryukov seriously took up the construction business.

In 1981, the man began to receive specialized knowledge at the Kursk Polytechnic Institute at the Faculty of Industrial and Civil Engineering. Specialty - civil engineer.

Biography of Peter Biryukov not without “dark” stories. In 1986, a criminal case was opened against his colleagues from the Volgograd Repair and Construction Trust for the theft of building materials. The future politician got off with public sanctions, and the rest of the defendants ended up in prison.

In 1991, Biryukov’s development as an official began: he was appointed sub-prefect of the Vykhino district (South-Eastern Administrative District).

Yuri Luzhkov

Peter’s further advancement up the career ladder was facilitated by the mayor of Moscow at that time, Yuri Luzhkov, who recognized the potential in the young politician. After 5 years, he was promoted to first deputy prefect of the Central District. In 2000, Biryukov took the highest position in this area, heading the Northern Administrative District of Moscow, and in 2002 - the Southern Administrative District, but already with the rank of minister of the capital government.

During his representation in the administrative districts, Petr Biryukov implemented several scandalous projects. So, in 2003, the politician allowed the construction of a shopping and entertainment center on the territory of the Brateevskaya Poima natural complex. The object was supposed to be classified as “specially protected”, so construction was prohibited. Despite the indignation of local residents, a recreation area has now been established on the site of what was once the largest wetland complex within the Moscow Ring Road.

And in 2005, a similar situation took place in the natural-historical park “Bitsevsky Forest” - Biryukov issued permission to build catering establishments. Social activists and environmentalists managed to prevent construction, but lost to the Tsaritsyno State Museum-Reserve.

In 2004, Tsaritsyno became the property of Moscow, and a year later, under the leadership of Biryukov, improvement work began there. On an area of 30 hectares of a specially protected natural area, paths and grounds for sports games were built. The repairs resulted in the destruction of animals and plants listed in the Red Book. It is worth noting that during the development of the project, no state environmental assessment was carried out, and the builders unknowingly destroyed the unique natural landscape.

In 2006, the improvement of Tsaritsyno Park continued. Then in an interview, Pyotr Biryukov said that “62 architectural monuments were restored,” however, according to the list of monuments, there are only 22 of them in the natural complex.

Pyotr Biryukov and the Moscow City Hall

In 2007, Yuri Luzhkov appointed Biryukov as his first deputy and head of the Moscow municipal services complex. The public showered this decision with criticism: supposedly an incompetent official came to power, who, having received pedagogical and construction education, does not understand the city economy.

In support of these statements, Pyotr Pavlovich in 2010 issued a permit to dump soil during the construction of a metro depot. It was carried out in the habitat of rare birds. Yuri Luzhkov was proud of his deputy in public. Later, after leaving the post of mayor of Moscow, he admitted that working with Biryukov was difficult - most of his work had to be done independently.

In September 2010, Dmitry Medvedev removed Yuri Luzhkov from the post of mayor of Moscow. Following him, those close to him were fired from the capital's government. However, the newly arrived city leader Sergei Sobyanin left Pyotr Biryukov in the bureaucratic chair, appointing him to the post of deputy for housing and communal services and landscaping.

Continuing to work for the benefit of Moscow, Pyotr Biryukov was again criticized. Having “improved” Ostankino Park, one of the largest populations of nightingales and squirrels in the city disappeared, and the official also noted the landscaping of Tverskaya Street.

For this and other useless projects, Biryukov is criticized not only by the public, but by his colleagues, in particular Anastasia Rakova, the vice-mayor of Moscow. Once, while discussing his activities, an official addressed the politician in an obscene manner, which greatly offended him.

Petr Biryukov - personal life

The Biryukov family is somehow involved in the construction business. Younger brother Alexey is the general director of the Universstroylux company, which had a hand in the improvement of Tsaritsyno. Peter's wife, Ekaterina, as well as their children - daughter Irina and son Alexander - are the founders of construction companies.

The object of attention and dissatisfaction is that the Biryukov family wins tenders for the improvement and reconstruction of Moscow facilities, but law enforcement agencies have not yet paid attention to this. In the chair of a capital official, Pyotr Biryukov made a fortune: in 2017, according to information on income, he earned about 6.5 million rubles, in 2016 - 6.9 million rubles.

The politician is Russian by nationality. Height is 176 cm, weight - 89 kg. The Deputy Mayor of Moscow does not run Twitter or post photos on Instagram.

Petr Biryukov now

As deputy mayor for housing and communal services, the official oversees the “My Street” program, within the framework of which the central roads of the capital are improved according to the principle of widening sidewalks and narrowing the roadway.

And this was not without criticism: most townspeople do not understand why relaying tiles on streets where renovations were already carried out two or three years ago.

In 1991, Biryukov became sub-prefect of the Vykhino district of the South-Eastern administrative district of Moscow. In 1996, he was appointed first deputy prefect of the Central Administrative District, and in January 2000, prefect of the Northern Administrative District of Moscow. In 2002-2007 he worked as prefect of the Southern Administrative District with the rank of minister of the Moscow government.

In October 2010, the new mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, appointed Pyotr Biryukov as deputy mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government for housing, communal services and improvement; after the elections in September 2013, he was reappointed to the same position.

Family

The younger brother is Alexey Pavlovich Biryukov (born November 10, 1955) - the owner and general director of the Universstroylux company and a number of other organizations involved in the construction business, repair work and landscaping in Moscow. The Universstroylux company has repeatedly won large city tenders, in particular, it was involved in the improvement of the Tsaritsyno museum-reserve and the restoration of the palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in Kolomenskoye. Biryukov Jr. is also involved in the construction of roads, housing, laying utility networks and other projects in Moscow. The daughter of Alexei Biryukov is the daughter-in-law of singer Nadezhda Kadysheva.

Criticism

Yuri Luzhkov, recalling Biryukov’s activities as his deputy in 2013, spoke negatively about his qualities: “I had to do a lot of things for him on my own. In addition, there were problems of a moral and ethical nature.”

According to the architectural historian, member of the presidium of the expert council under the chief architect of Moscow Alexei Klimenko, Biryukov, when he was prefect of the Southern Administrative District, “did not allow many construction projects to enter the territory of the district entrusted to him until they passed into the hands of his countless relatives. And when he commanded the construction of Tsaritsyn, he said in an interview with the district newspaper: “We have restored 62 architectural monuments on the territory of the museum-reserve!” But according to the list, there are only 22 architectural monuments in Tsaritsyn. The rest are booths and toilets, which were dressed in pseudo-Gothic “caftans”. But you see, what’s the matter - restoration costs several times more than conventional construction.”

Responsible for the comprehensive street improvement program - My Street (improvement program).

Awards and honorary titles

Pyotr Biryukov is credited with the phrase “We are not in Europe, we are screwed,” which was a reaction to the opening of a street cafe near his house on Patriarch’s Ponds.

The house in which Biryukov lives belongs to his former deputy, prefect of the Southern District of Moscow Yuri Bulanov, who was arrested on charges of embezzlement of budget funds.

Pyotr Biryukov was born 66 years ago in the village of Stary Buzets, Kursk region. The name of his native village best characterizes the activities of an experienced manager.

Soviet Union: first steps

Biryukov's early biography is unremarkable - school, army, college, work.

At the age of 27, Peter moved to Moscow, where he, a teacher by training, managed to get a job at Mostransstroy, and immediately to the position of senior foreman. This is a dark place in the biography of the future ruler of the capital’s housing and communal services system - how did he move to Moscow, whose hairy hand assigned a citizen without specialized education and experience to an enviable position?

Biryukov received his specialized education later, only in 1986, and decided to study not in Moscow, but in his almost native Kursk, at the Polytechnic. It is not known for certain what position he held at the time of receiving his diploma, but no less than the head of a trust department. In the same memorable year, a criminal case was opened against him - a promising builder was suspected of banal theft of building materials (article “Forgery of Officials”). However, someone helped put the brakes on everything: it was decided to release the sly man from criminal prosecution and limit himself to “social influence” at his place of work. The social impact was another promotion.

As for education, Pyotr Pavlovich improved his qualifications already in Moscow, at the University of Management, where he also lectured. There he defended his doctoral dissertation. And Biryukov liked this defense so much that six years later Irina Petrovna Biryukova(daughter) defended her PhD there, two years later Alexander Petrovich(son) – doctorate (and the topics of the works of father and son are almost the same). Well, Pyotr Pavlovich’s cousin, who later headed the Lyublino district government, graduated from the same university.

Experts of the Russian State Library, however, do not rate the scientific knowledge of Chief Biryukov very highly: in their opinion, “ this dissertation has no scientific value, is an outright imitation of science and is a typical fictitious demonstration product, which also contains pronounced plagiarism... contains incorrect borrowings that are unacceptable in volume and nature (plagiarism) and cannot be considered original in relation to the collection of abstracts and dissertations of the Russian State Library».

New Times: Big Boss

But God be with him, with education. Before us is a talented genius who simply really wanted to become a doctor of science and a professor, so he made forgivable mistakes on the path to success. And success came along with the beginning of economic transformations in the USSR. If in the Soviet Union he only headed the district construction complexes in Moscow (first Volgograd, then Timiryazevsky), now he has become a full-fledged owner of the Vykhino district (South-Eastern Administrative District), five years later he rose to deputy prefect of the Central District, after the change of power in the country in January 2000, he discovered himself as head of the Northern District, and two years later - of the Southern District. Many districts and districts were made happy by the official - it is typical that Pyotr Pavlovich was not allowed only to the west of the city, where the vast majority of people making important decisions in this city live.

Since 2007, Petr Biryukov has been the first vice-mayor and head of the municipal services complex. He has been working in this capacity for the 11th year. Biryukov became one of the few high-ranking metropolitan officials who managed to survive the change of mayor in his position: Sergei Sobyanin got rid of all the loyal ones Yuri Luzhkov subordinates. Biryukov, who owes everything to Luzhkov, was not included in this number: in fact, he was always loyal only to his own family (in which, by the way, he coincides with Luzhkov and compares favorably with Sobyanin).

However, Biryukov loves his family not for show, but in deep silence. He has never appeared in public with his relatives, and calls all the Biryukovs involved in city contracts namesakes. But the city hall contractors are too reminiscent of his relatives, specifically his wife, brother and daughter. We already wrote about this in, but too much money goes to these namesakes (the daughter of Pyotr Pavlovich, however, finally figured out to change her last name to Shevchuk).

LLC "Venta", rental of trucks for the needs of the mayor's office. Founders – Ekaterina Vladimirovna and Irina Petrovna Biryukov, who contributed 37 million rubles each. For comparison, according to official declarations, in recent years Pyotr Biryukov himself earned 5–7 million rubles. per year, his wife - 13.8 million each with very slight fluctuations, rare constancy. But even with such income, invest 74 million rubles. into one enterprise is very difficult. Unless you are sure of quick and huge income. And indeed, the capital’s State Budgetary Institution “Highways” immediately fell in love with “Venta” and only in 2013–14. concluded contracts with it worth over 200 million rubles.

Universstroylux LLC, former owner – Alexey Pavlovich Biryukov(also the name of Pyotr Biryukov’s younger brother). In 2005 (according to other sources - in 2009) she distinguished herself with a controversial victory in the competition for the restoration of the palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich (17th century) in Kolomenskoye. A little later, Pyotr Biryukov proudly spoke about the restoration of 62 architectural monuments in neighboring Tsaritsyn; It turned out that there were only 22 monuments in the park. The remaining objects are, for example, a modern public toilet, which was decorated in pseudo-Russian style. But restoration costs many times more than repairs... By the way, in those years Irina Petrovna Biryukova was also among the employees of Universstroylux. Subsequently, this company was caught demolishing non-existent buildings for city money. And the accounting reports were impressive: with revenue of 7 billion, profit in 2009 amounted to only 35.6 million rubles, half a percent of revenue. They left nothing for themselves, everything went to their hometown!

In 2011-14, the bankruptcy procedure of this strange company took place, and the Bank of Moscow and Sberbank agreed to cede their claims against it to two very interesting and little-known organizations that turned out to be surprisingly loyal to the bankrupt.

The daughter of the mentioned Alexey Biryukov, who has a beautiful name Angelica, at one time she was the founder of the company “USL Mechanization” (the reader can easily decipher USL as “UniversStroyLux”); she was subsequently replaced in this post by a certain Yulia Malova, she is also the former founder and general director of CJSC Monolit and Glavremontstroy... who received the debts of Universstroylux from large and respected banks! In general, the relationship between the Biryukovs and the Bank of Moscow is very reminiscent of a mutually beneficial symbiosis, in which only the then owner of the bank, the city of Moscow, was the victim. The same Glavremontstroy took out a loan of 500 million rubles from the Bank of Moscow, naming as its guarantor the same magical Andrei Petrovich Biryukov (born in 1955 in the village of Stary Buzets, Kursk region). The unsecured loan, as far as we know, was never repaid.

Here it is appropriate to remember Yuri Luzhkov, before whose eyes half of all this entertainment took place! Recalling Biryukov’s activities later, he said: “I had to do a lot for him on my own. In addition, there were also problems of a moral and ethical nature.” Well, just like those hedgehogs who cried and injected themselves, but continued to eat the cactus.

The reputation of Pyotr Biryukov has been known for a long time, and Sergei Sobyanin’s team could easily refuse to cooperate with an exemplary family man. Why this did not happen is a rhetorical question. Pyotr Biryukov is still in business, and the improvement of Moscow still rests on his tired but not broken shoulders. Renovation is ahead, which means there are still many, many playgrounds, parking lots, kindergartens and neat lawns. Old buzzers are not replaced at the crossing.

Different people serve in government bodies - responsible and negligent in their duties, strict and democratic, fair and easily bribed. In society, officials are generally treated with distrust and the decisions they make are criticized. Pyotr Biryukov, deputy mayor of Moscow in the Moscow government for housing, communal services and landscaping, took full responsibility for the residents' dissatisfaction.

Childhood and youth

Having returned, Peter entered the Kursk Pedagogical Institute to become a mathematics teacher. Graduated in 1979. For some time, Biryukov worked in his specialty at the Trinity 8-year school.

Politics and career

In 1981, the man began to receive specialized knowledge at the Kursk Polytechnic Institute at the Faculty of Industrial and Civil Engineering. Specialty - civil engineer.

The biography of Pyotr Biryukov is not without its “dark” stories. In 1986, a criminal case was opened against his colleagues from the Volgograd Repair and Construction Trust for the theft of building materials. The future politician got off with public sanctions, and the rest of the defendants ended up in prison.

Petr Biryukov now

And this was not without criticism: most townspeople do not understand why relaying tiles on streets where renovations were already carried out two or three years ago.

Few Russian officials have heard as many accusations leveled against them as Pyotr Pavlovich Biryukov. Almost all of his activities as deputy mayor of Moscow are associated with scandals. Unpleasant situations have arisen before, and they are connected not only with work, but also with study, family... Nevertheless, the mayor of the capital appreciates this person and even rewards him with awards.

Where were you born and studied?

On July 12, 1951, Petr Pavlovich Biryukov was born. His biography began in a small village called Stary Buzets, not far from the city of Zheleznogorsk, Kursk region. Who would have thought that a simple village guy would ever find himself so close to the “steering wheel” of the Russian capital?

For quite a long time nothing was foreshadowed... Apparently, after school, Peter did not enroll anywhere, so in 1969 he was drafted into the army.

Having been demobilized in 1971, the guy remained at a crossroads for several more years, and then decided to become a teacher, entering the Kursk Pedagogical Institute. I chose teaching mathematics as my specialty. Graduated from university in 1979.

Later, already as an adult, Pyotr Biryukov received another diploma - this time from the Kursk Polytechnic. Specialty: civil engineer. This happened in 1986.

Carier start

Pyotr Pavlovich tried to follow the pedagogical path. He worked as a teacher in a boarding school at an eight-year school in the city of Troitsk, tried the teacher’s bread, and also proved himself as an active trade union worker. But “tried” is the key word in this case. Because Pyotr Biryukov did not stay at school.

In the late 70s, a young man entered the construction industry. The trusts “Mostransstroy” and “Glavmosstroy” became his first places of work on this path, completely far from pedagogy. At first, Pyotr Pavlovich was a foreman, then he replaced the manager of the trust, and served as the chief engineer. And although Biryukov did not yet have a diploma allowing him to occupy such high positions, he worked on it, having entered the Polytechnic in 1981.

In the mid-eighties, Pyotr Pavlovich headed the Volgograd Repair and Construction Trust, having previously worked there for some time. The first major troubles of the future deputy mayor of Moscow were associated with this enterprise. He almost received a prison sentence in a case related to the theft of construction materials by a group of people. His colleagues were jailed, and Pyotr Biryukov got off with public sanctions.

Prefecture

The nineties were marked for Pyotr Pavlovich by his transition from the construction sector to the world of officials. In 1991, Biryukov took the position of sub-prefect of one of the Moscow districts - Vykhino (South-Eastern Administrative District). Five years later he became the first deputy prefect of the Central District, and four years later he rose to the rank of prefect - at his “disposal” was

From 2002 to 2007, he held a ministerial chair in the Moscow Government and at the same time headed the prefecture of the Southern Administrative Office. districts of the capital.

A new round in his career: Petr Biryukov - Deputy Mayor of Moscow

Someone, reaching certain heights, stops, while others continue to climb even higher. Biryukov belongs to the second category.

In 2007, he climbed the next step on the career ladder. Residents of Russia learned from the media: Petr Pavlovich Biryukov became the first deputy mayor of the capital. The Moscow government received him in this role thanks to the trust of Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov. The responsibilities of the former prefect included the management of the Moscow Municipal Economy Complex.

In 2010, Moscow was headed by another person - Sergei Semenovich Sobyanin. He did not make personnel changes and also appointed Biryukov, who had already gained experience, as his deputy for housing and communal services and landscaping. In 2013, Pyotr Pavlovich was reassigned to the same position and holds it to this day.

Accusations

How does Petr Pavlovich Biryukov work in his high positions? If you believe numerous accusations in the media, then, to put it mildly, it’s not very good.

Most of the charges relate to land plots that, with the assistance of Biryukov, were allocated to one or another commercial structure. The first scandal of this kind broke out when Pyotr Pavlovich was a perfect - in 2003, when a plot of land was allocated for the construction of a shopping complex on the territory of the Brateevskaya Poima natural complex.

And in 2005, the perfect ordered the allocation of a land plot on the territory of the Bitsevsky Forest, which is a natural and historical park, for the construction of a catering enterprise. The active civic position of ordinary residents and the efforts of environmentalists then prevented these plans from being implemented.

Also in 2005, the scandalous Tsaritsyno case began. A year earlier, it was transferred to the balance of Moscow, and under the leadership of Biryukov, large-scale events were launched in it. As a result, several species of animals listed in the Red Book were destroyed, as well as huge areas of shrub and forest vegetation, reservoirs, etc.

In the early 2010s, the deputy mayor allowed soil to be dumped during the construction of a metro depot, which was carried out in the habitat of rare birds.

Journalists, and not only them, throughout the country have said and continue to say that in the person of a man named Petr Pavlovich Biryukov, the Moscow government has simply received an incompetent official who, with his pedagogical and construction education, takes on something about which he understands nothing.

Peer ratings

What about the colleagues and management of the scandalous official? How do they evaluate his activities?

Having once placed high trust in Biryukov and made him his deputy, he is not delighted with their cooperation. According to the ex-mayor, he had to do a lot of work for Pyotr Pavlovich. Luzhkov also hinted at some moral and ethical problems.

State Duma deputy Galina Khovanskaya, who deals with housing and communal services issues in parliament, said that the people’s representatives have a number of questions for Biryukov. In particular, regarding the mass of fictitious HOAs he created, which exist only documented.

Architectural historian Alexei Klimenko, who is on the presidium of the chief architect of the capital, states that Pyotr Pavlovich more than once openly lobbied for the interests of his family members, slowing down the allocation of land for objects until these objects became the property of relatives. There are a lot of negative reviews in the press, but there are a few positive ones.

Awards and titles

And yet, Petr Pavlovich Biryukov, whose waiting room is inundated with complaints, continues to remain in his chair.

And in 2011, he even received a high award from Mayor Sobyanin. This award was the insignia “For impeccable service to the city of Moscow.”

The head of the capital emphasizes that Biryukov’s contribution to the city economy is significant, his work is conscientious, and for many years the official has been serving for the benefit of the people. The award order is dated July 5th.

Other awards and titles of Biryukov:

Gratitude from the President of the Russian Federation;
"Honorary Builder of the Russian Federation";
"Honorary Builder of Moscow";
"For services to the Fatherland" (order of the fourth degree);
“For merits in education and science”;
“For assistance to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation”;
“For interaction with the FSB.”

Biryukov is credited with one well-known non-literary phrase, the meaning of which is that in Russia it will never be like in Europe. It is believed that he expressed it in the heat of the moment when he learned that a street cafe had opened near his house.

The house in which Biryukov lives (on the Patriarch's Ponds) belongs to his former deputy Yu. Bulanov, prefect of the Southern District of the Russian capital. Bulanov was arrested and charged with embezzlement of budget funds.

Dissertation scandal

Unfortunately, the “mistakes” of the unfulfilled teacher are connected not only with his work in the Moscow government. Pyotr Biryukov, whose photo does not strike the imagination at all (the official has a discreet, modest, one might say, even gray, appearance), constantly finds himself involved in high-profile cases. For example, in 2000, a scandal erupted in the field of science.

Pyotr Pavlovich, defending his doctoral dissertation, was accused of plagiarism, as well as that his work was pure fiction, not containing an ounce of valuable scientific information.

By the way, after some time Biryukov’s children also defended their dissertations at the same university - the State University of Management.

Personal life

The Deputy Mayor of Moscow is married. The family of Pyotr Pavlovich Biryukov is quite strong. He and his wife raised two children - a daughter and a son. The heirs, as well as many of the official’s relatives, are closely tied to the construction business. And the companies that belong to them constantly win tenders for landscaping, restoration and construction of various facilities. Of course, this also constantly becomes the subject of discussion in the media, and Pyotr Biryukov is accused of illegal actions aimed at increasing the well-being of his relatives.

So even the personal life of this unique person does not remain “behind the scenes”, and therefore can only be called personal with a big stretch.
