The ministerial chair is not as attractive as it appears from a distance. Yes, the specialist who sits in it receives a good salary. However, his area of responsibility is considerable. Maxim Topilin is still coping with his tasks.
Starting conditions
The current Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian State Maxim Topilin was born on April 19, 1967 in an intelligent family. Parents belong to the category of hereditary Muscovites. When the workers' children didn’t have enough milk, Maxim’s table was full of delicacies. When the age approached, the boy was sent to an elite school with in-depth study of English.
After leaving school, the young man did not have to rack his brains about the future. The further career of Maxim Anatolyevich Topilin was thought out in advance. He entered the famous institute of national economy. In 1984, having received a specialized education, the graduate remained in graduate school and began research work. His interests included social processes and the quality of life of the population. From surveys and official statistics, the graduate student found out how different categories of people live - owners, employees, students and retirees.
Professional activity
In the official biography of Maxim Topilin, all movements along the career ladder are reflected. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Topilin, Ph.D. in Economics, remained at the institute as a senior research fellow. In a difficult economic situation, the country needed competent specialists, and he was invited to work in the apparatus of the federal government. At first, Maxim was considered a consultant, but after a short period of time he headed the Department of Labor and Social Policy.
It is important to note that at the end of the 90s the structure of the government periodically changed. This was not a formal work of officials. The country's task was to build an effective and competent government. In 2001, Topilin was appointed Deputy Minister of Labor. Following the order, four years later, he took the post of Chief Inspector of Labor of the Russian Federation. To list all kinds of hardware permutations and reorganizations does not make sense. It is enough to note that in 2012, Maxim Anatolyevich headed the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
