Elena Mizulina is a Russian politician whose biography has attracted the attention of a large number of Russians. She gained fame thanks to the promotion of scandalous laws, to one degree or another affecting the rights and freedoms of citizens.
Biography
Elena Mizulina was born in the city of Bui in 1954. From childhood, she wanted to be a significant person in her country, studied diligently and wanted to become a diplomat. By the end of school, Elena realized that there were practically no chances to enter MGIMO, so she became a student at Yaroslavl State University, choosing a legal specialty. Having received education, the future deputy began her career in a district court as a consultant. She did not stop improving her knowledge and subsequently defended her thesis.
Perseverance and various connections allowed Elena Mizulina to take one of the leading posts in the Federation Council in 1993, and two years later she received a deputy mandate in the State Duma from the Yabloko party. The low popularity of the latter forced Mizulin to join the Union of Right Forces and further pursue a career in the Constitutional Court. From 2007 to 2015, she served as head of the committee on women, children and the family in the State Duma. A new step in the career of a politician was the position of senator in the Federation Council.
In fact, throughout the entire public service, Elena Mizulina conducted extremely active legislative activity. With the help of it, it was possible to adopt a "law on censorship on the Internet", which allowed to immediately block unwanted sites that violate the law. In addition, Mizulina openly opposed sexual minorities in the country. One of her demands was the ban on adoption of children by same-sex families, as well as on gay propaganda.
The next ban on the part of Elena Mizulina concerned abortion and surrogacy. She demanded that women be allowed to have abortions only in the event of rape or for medical reasons. The politician spoke out against the adoption of Russian children by foreign families. One of the last for the parliamentary activities of Elena Borisovna was the law on the decriminalization of domestic violence, which caused heated discussion among the civilian population, but still adopted by the State Duma.
