The economic model that has developed in Russia over the past two decades is far from perfect. Independent economists and government officials write about this. Alexander Surinov headed the state statistics service for many years.
Starting conditions
Scientific research allows us to understand the essence of the processes in nature and society. In order to develop long-term plans, it is necessary to have accurate information about the availability of resources that will be required when implementing planned projects. Information of this nature is collected and processed by regional and central government statistics agencies. Doctor of Economics, experienced administrator Alexander Evgenievich Surinov for nine years successfully led this structure.
The future scientist and teacher was born on September 15, 1958 in a family of researchers. Father gave lectures on economics at Moscow State University. Mother worked as a senior teacher at the Institute of Steel and Alloys. As a child, Alexander had free access to the family library. He learned to read early and came to school as a trained student. He maintained friendly relations with classmates. Moderately engaged in physical education. After graduating from school, on the advice of his parents, he decided to get a specialized education at the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics.
In public service
In 1981, Surinov received a diploma and a referral to the Central Statistical Office under the USSR Council of Ministers. Labor career began as an ordinary economist. Alexander by chance got into the Office of Social Statistics. He had the opportunity to compare the quality of social security in the Soviet Union and in foreign countries. An analysis of the incoming information allowed Surinov to make several important suggestions on the methodology for calculating integral data. In 1989, he defended his thesis.
In the late 90s, Alexander Evgenievich worked at the Center for Economic Conditions under the Government of the Russian Federation. His area of ​​responsibility was the processes of formation, distribution and use of population income. An experienced economist and scientist knew very well how people live on one salary. However, many had additional sources of receiving money, which are very difficult to take into account. In December 2009, Surinov was appointed head of the Federal State Statistics Service - Rosstat.
