An official needs theoretical training and real experience for effective work at the federal level. Dmitry Kozak has been working in various structures of the Russian government for a long period of time.
Starting conditions
In certain situations, the place of birth is important for a successful career. The biography of the Russian top manager convincingly proves that the main thing is not a point on the map, but a desire to realize your dreams and ideas. Dmitry Nikolaevich Kozak was born on November 7, 1958 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in a remote area of the Kirovograd region in Ukraine. A child from young nails grew up in a favorable environment. They did not shout at him, did not fear the belt, but calmly and consistently accustomed to work and accuracy.
At school Dmitry studied well. He had a clear tendency towards exact sciences. Mathematics and physics were favorite subjects. He was friends with classmates. He went in for sports and participated in public life. I watched how peers live, what they dream about and what they want from life. Having received a certificate of maturity, Kozak became a student at the Polytechnic Institute in Vinnitsa. But he quickly realized that the chosen specialty was completely uninteresting to him. A strong and smart guy was immediately drafted into the army.
Leningrad period
In 1978, Dmitry was discharged and went straight to Leningrad. Without problems and acquaintances, he entered the legal department of a local university. After receiving a brilliant education, the young lawyer came to work in the city prosecutor's office. In law enforcement Kozak did not succeed. He had to go to a construction company as a lawyer. After the notorious putsch in August 1991 and the liquidation of the USSR, capable and energetic specialists were required in the structures of democratic power.
Dmitry Nikolaevich held various positions in the mayor's office of St. Petersburg for several years. During this period, privatization and transfer of enterprises to market management principles were carried out throughout the country. Then the situation in the city on the Neva changed and he accepted the proposals to move to Moscow to a responsible position in the presidential administration. After some time, Kozak was appointed presidential representative to the Southern Federal District. In this post, a seasoned lawyer required not only diplomatic abilities, but also creativity and an “iron hand”.
