TRAGEDY AT THE WINTER CHERRY SEC

On March 25, 2018, a fire broke out in the Zimnyaya Vishnya shopping and entertainment complex in Kemerovo. As of March 30, 64 people died as a result of the fire, including Aman Tuleyev’s young niece. Tuleyev himself did not come to the scene of the tragedy, explaining that he did not want his motorcade to interfere with the rescuers.
On March 27, 2018, a rally was held in the city. More than four thousand protesters in Kemerovo demanded Tuleyev’s resignation. Despite the presence of relatives of the victims at the rally, Tuleyev said that 200 “troublers” were present at the rally, but there were no relatives of the victims. On March 30, he transferred his one-day earnings (5,803 rubles) to the account to help the families of those killed in the fire at the Winter Cherry shopping center.
On April 1, 2018, he made an open appeal to the residents of the Kemerovo region and addressed the President of the Russian Federation with a resignation letter. at will. President Putin accepted his resignation.
FAMILY
Wife - Tuleyeva (nee Solovyova) Elvira Fedorovna (born 1943). The marriage produced sons Dmitry (born 1968) and Andrey (1972-1998; died in a car accident in Tashkent).
Grandchildren - Stanislav Andreevich Tuleyev (born 1992), Andrey Dmitrievich Tuleyev (born 1999) and Tatyana Dmitrievna Tuleyeva (born 2005).
He promised 1 million rubles for the capture of Bigfoot.
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
A. G. Tuleyev is actively involved in scientific work, is the author of more than two dozen books and brochures, hundreds of publications and speeches in foreign, Russian, Kuzbass electronic and print media. He has 2 invention patents modern methods increasing the efficiency of loading and unloading operations in railway transport. On March 2, 1999, A. G. Tuleev defended his dissertation for the academic degree of Candidate of Political Sciences
Journalists and political scientists “dismissed” Tuleyev last year, when it became known about his serious health problems. The 73-year-old politician underwent his first spinal surgery back in 2011. In 2017, German doctors performed a second operation. Afterwards, a complication appeared: pneumonia. Due to his long absence from public view and prolonged vacation, rumors began to spread about his imminent resignation from his position. However, the people's governor of Kuzbass (he received such an honorary title in 2011 “as a sign of many years of dedicated service to people and popular recognition of exceptional services to the Kemerovo region”) was not going to vacate the chair before the end of his term, that is, until 2020.
When the tragedy happened at the Winter Cherry shopping center, Tuleyev did not come to the scene of the fire. His administration hastened to explain this with good intentions: they say that the governor’s motorcade, when approaching the scene of an emergency, would interfere with fire crews. A day later, when the president arrived in Kemerovo and began a meeting on liquidation of the consequences, it became clear that it was not a matter of the motorcade after all. Tuleyev could neither get up nor sit down without outside help: held his hand Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Siberian Federal District Sergei Menyailo.
But he could talk, and in the few days after the tragedy he said a lot. About the opposition, which is profiting “from human grief”, about the fact that it was not the relatives of the victims who took to the streets, but “troublemakers”... He said his truly last “I’m sorry” only in a video message, which he recorded after his resignation. Tuleyev called his decision “correct, conscious, the only correct one.” “Because with such a heavy burden as governor - well, it’s impossible, morally impossible,” he said.
But you can accept benefits from the regional budget that are provided for the title of people's governor. After his resignation, Tuleyev is entitled to monthly payment 50 thousand rubles, excluding personal income tax. The governor who has terminated his powers is provided with an assistant to carry out public activities, and in the administration building of the Kemerovo region he will receive a separate office space with furniture, office equipment and a computer connected to the network and to all available legal frameworks and government information systems. Also, Tuleev and his wife will be given a guarded residential property in the village of Mazurovo for free use for life for life.

Negotiated with the miners
In parting, Tuleyev remembered: “We went through a great life path from Kuzbass striking, sitting on the rails, to Kuzbass creating, the support of our state.” Yes, it was the miners who helped Tuleyev take the governor’s chair.
Formerly the head of the Kemerovo Railway in the late eighties, Tuleyev was nominated as a candidate in the first presidential elections, then supported the State Emergency Committee. This team Yeltsin she did not forgive him, and Tuleyev managed to sit in the governor’s chair against the backdrop of miners’ protests only in 1997. The people then gave him 94.5% of the votes. By the way, in 2015, when he last time was elected in popular elections, the figure was even higher: 96% of the vote.
Tuleyev knew how to get along with the miners, and Moscow was ready to forgive him a lot for this. In the summer of 1998, miners of Kuzbass and Vorkuta, due to months-long delays, paid their salaries for several weeks. railways. Tuleyev introduced emergency regime, But Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, responsible for unblocking the tracks, he said that the miners' demands were fair and legal. As a result, part of the debts was repaid, and Tuleyev went down in history as the man who ended the “rail war.”
In the late 2000s, it was Tuleyev who extinguished protests due to accidents in mines that claimed the lives of hundreds of miners. And in 2015 he unexpectedly banned any work in the Kuzbass mines during New Year's holidays, because “a drunk person in a mine, at mining work, is the same as a terrorist.” A year later, Tuleyev stood up for the interests of the workers of the Raspadskaya Coal Company, who were threatened with mass layoffs. “It turns out that they are simply planning to throw workers out onto the street with mortgages, loans, and all payments, reporting with the beautiful phrase “optimization of non-core structures,” the people’s governor was indignant.
He also personally extorted money from the owners who did not pay wages to the miners. Under the governor, they created a headquarters in which businessmen were convincingly explained the consequences of meetings with the Department of Economic Crimes or promised to take away their licenses. They say that some particularly dull ones actually lost their shares, which went to a holding company created by friends of the governor.
Excellent negotiator
Aman Tuleyev’s ambitions went far beyond the region. He ran for president of Russia three times. In 1991, he received 7% of the votes and took 4th place. In the 1996 elections, he withdrew his candidacy on the eve of the first round in support of Gennady Zyuganov. In January 2000, Tuleyev was nominated, as experts believed, in order to “pull” votes away from the communist leader. He again ended up in 4th place out of 11 candidates, - after Putin, Zyuganov And Yavlinsky- with just over 3% of the votes.
Hand on heart, we can safely call Tuleyev himself a troublemaker. For example, in 1999 he refused to accept the Order of Honor from Yeltsin. “I simply cannot, on principle, accept awards from a government that has plunged the country into poverty,” he explained his demarche then. And in September 2000, Tuleyev calmly accepted this award from Vladimir Putin.

He also staged demarches against the communists. From the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, without thinking twice, he jumped onto the lists of United Russia. Then, in 2007, he even sued Zyuganov when he declared: “Tuleev organized a ploughshare in the Kemerovo region!”
There are some very heroic episodes in his biography. People's Deputy RSFSR Aman Tuleyev in 1991 helped free a seven-year-old girl taken hostage near Red Square Mashu Ponomarenko, offering himself in exchange for the girl. In 2001, he took part in neutralizing a terrorist who had taken a taxi driver hostage at Kemerovo airport. He is responsible for the release of passengers at the Kemerovo bus station (they were threatened with a bomb), residents of a Novokuznetsk high-rise building that was almost blown up by a police warrant officer, and bank employees taken hostage.
Against this heroic background, the stories of local journalists that Tuleyev once imposed a ban on any publication of negative news from the region look quite plausible. Colleagues, according to them, were explained that the federal media should not publish dirty stories about Kuzbass, even if the authorities had nothing to do with it. Those who disobeyed were allegedly threatened with dismissal.
However, Tuleyev never had problems with positive news stories. For example, in the Kemerovo region, Tuleyev banned the activities of collectors and introduced a curfew for children even when this was not even thought about at the federal level.
“He was the boss here”
But there is another side to the coin. Local businesses have accumulated many complaints against Tuleyev. The authoritarian governor did not stand on ceremony with undesirable entrepreneurs. And the large holdings around him were made clear that they needed to share money with the region and allocate it to the social sphere.
IN last years Tuleyev’s reputation was also shaken due to corruption scandals in his administration. In July 2016, there was a disruption in the work of the governor’s “headquarters” to resolve problems with businessmen. Two shifts of miners at the Inskoy mine refused to go underground until they were given their wages, which had not been paid since April. Tuleevsky “headquarters” began working with the owner.
In November, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against this very “headquarters” for extorting a billion rubles from the owner of shares. Suspects - Head of the Kemerovo Investigative Committee Sergei Kalinkin and two Deputy Governor, Alexey Ivanov And Alexander Danilchenko.
However, the people's governor himself remained above suspicion. Perhaps because he did not reign as the governors of the new conscription know how to do. “I worked with him for five years. Over the years, everything has happened. But I remember for the rest of my life my first impression of Tuleyev’s house,” I recalled on my Facebook State Duma Deputy Anton Gorelkin. — Aman Gumirovich was on sick leave, recovering from an operation at home, in Mazurovo. And Putin arrived in Kuzbass. The visit program included a couple of meetings, but there was no personal meeting with the governor. But at some point the president said: “To Tuleyev.” We arrived in Mazurovo, and for the first time I saw how Aman Tuleyev lived. Before this, there were many rumors: that he eats black caviar from silver dishes, that he has gold toilets, and jewelry. And the situation in the house turned out to be so spartan that later many journalists captioned photographs from that meeting between Putin and Tuleyev: “The President visited the governor in hospital ward“. Simple Soviet style furniture. Simple clothes. No gold or other kitsch. I already knew then that Aman Gumirovich eats very simple food, never goes on vacation abroad, that he has no yachts, no palaces, no foreign real estate.”
More than 20 years at the helm of the coal region, the nickname “Kuzbassbashi”, the “Tuleevsky” potato variety and universal honor. And now - a loss in court, testimony in a criminal case and criticism from all sides. How do Kemerovo residents now perceive Tuleyev and what does business say about him and the new authorities?

Previously, it was impossible to even imagine that someone in Kuzbass would sue Aman Tuleyev and win. Now there is such a person there - the former head of one of the districts, Alexey Shmidt. Three years ago, Tuleyev said that he fired the official for theft, fraud and fraud.
And all this time, Schmidt, as he explained in his lawsuit, was “deeply depressed and morally destroyed” because of the governor’s words. Apparently, the peak of depression occurred at the moment when Tuleyev resigned and the ex-official sued him.
And he agreed with him and ordered the ex-governor to pay 150 thousand rubles. Most likely, this is just the beginning, because there are many dissatisfied with Tuleyev in Kuzbass, suggests Kemerovo resident Natalya.
Natalia resident of Kemerovo region“It’s just that people, maybe, were afraid before, but now they started doing it, that’s all that has changed. And, let’s say, dislike or hatred remains the same. She was. Maybe it wasn’t so obvious.”
Tuleyev was also called to another court, and it could be much more serious for the ex-governor. It's about about Kuzbass businessman Alexander Shchukin. Tuleyev himself once called him an “authoritative manager.” Shchukin even received the title “Hero of Kuzbass”. Now the hero is on trial for extorting a coal mine worth a billion rubles.
Tuleyev is a witness in this case. This was also impossible to imagine before. Kuzbass public figure Arthur Stash, speaking about Tuleyev, uses a term from blackjack - “bust”. And he cites the example of the former mayor of Kemerovo, Vladimir Mikhailov.
Arthur Stash Kemerovo public figure“He needed to leave, like our mayor of Kemerovo Mikhailov did. He passed away at 70 years old. Honor, respect. He drives a jeep, I saw him recently. There are no complaints against him, but Tuleyev has already reached such a situation, the opposite effect has begun, the effect of debunking, like a lion now kicking a sick person. Everything is natural. I should have left earlier and everything would have been fine.”
Even after a serious operation, Tuleyev led the region in a wheelchair. Only after the tragedy in " Winter cherry“It became clear that the governor’s days were numbered. He ruled with an iron fist, and he really has a lot of merit. Although a significant part of them is due to high coal prices.
But Tuleyev has been truly respected in Kuzbass since the 90s. He also proved himself to be an excellent PR man. Here, for example, is a relatively recent story. A few years ago it was very expensive to fly to Kuzbass. Then Tuleyev went to deal with the airlines, and prices dropped.
True, then they grew again, because they are controlled not by Tuleyev, but by the market. But the governor managed to report with a victorious report. Under Aman Gumirovich, business was having a hard time; Business FM told stories of how companies specifically changed their registration to neighboring Novosibirsk in order to escape the influence of the Kuzbass authorities. What now?
Andrey owner of the Kemerovo sawmill“Under the previous head of the region, there were many production workers in power. They, one way or another, understood what production was, how it all worked, and how to at least let people survive. The current leadership, in my opinion, this is my subjective point of view, has begun such a “march” for construction, improvement, and cultural life, although we have been a production region all our lives, and it is very unclear why it started with this. Therefore, there is a very large outflow of young specialists.”
Andrey himself is selling his sawmill, also due to moving to another city. With the new authorities find mutual language he can't do it. If only because they are new, and this always means redistribution. With the old ones everything was clear. They gathered the business and said: we need to do a good deed, in a good way. And business, for example, bought for orphanage bus. Naturally, it bore the inscription: “A gift from the governor.”
And in general, under Aman Gumirovich, whom journalists sometimes called “Kuzbassbashi,” everything good in the region was called “provincial.” Provincial market with low prices, provincial pool, and so on. In early April, when Tuleyev left, all his memorial plaques were quickly removed. And now, as locals say, there is almost nothing in Kuzbass that reminds us of the former governor. It’s as if he hasn’t been in power for more than 20 years. And even the potato variety, which Kuzbass breeders called “Tuleevsky,” they say, has disappeared from stores.
