Andrey Nikitin, Governor-Innovator-Biker February 13th, 2017

Everywhere they did not read Nikitin - young, successful, demonstrating energy and efficiency with all his appearance.

In particular, he was stubbornly wooed to the place of Ulyukayev, the minister of economic development of the Russian Federation.

GDP decided it was too early. Let 37-year-old Andrey first show himself “on the ground”.

Nikitin is a Muscovite, but he lived and received school education in Miass Chelyabinsk region.
Graduated State University management in the specialty "State and municipal government". Defended his thesis on" The strategy of organizational change as an instrument of effective management (theoretical and methodological aspect). "

All this, I will note, within 9 years. Duplicators, pancakes, oil / gas, fiberglass, composites and geosynthetics.

In 2009-11 Nikitin headed the Ruskompozit holding.
Until November 2009, the founders of Ruskompozit were Bashkir businessman Sergei Fakhretdinov, who owned 80 percent of the management company, and Nikitin, who had a 20 percent share. Then the company was sold to the Cypriot firm Steklonit Holding Limited... In 2011, the press reported about Ruskompozit Management Company that it "unites two production sites" - Ufa OJSC "Steklonit" and OJSC "Tverstekloplastik". It was noted that it also includes the Moscow trading house "Steklonit Management" LLC, a subsidiary of "Steklonit Management" LLP (Kazakhstan) and the company's representative office in Ukraine. It was also noted that Roskompozit "has established a good relationship with Gazprom"," Transneft "," Russneft "," Rosneft"," Lukoil "," TNK-BP "," Ritek "and" Russian Railways "...

In March 2011 Nikitin signed a cooperation agreement between Ruskopozit and Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), headed by Vasily Yakemenko... According to this document, the company was supposed to provide support to "young innovators" - participants in the "Zvorykinsky project" of Rosmolodezh. In addition, Nikitin's company acted as a partner of the youth forum "Seliger-2011", "having built on its territory mobile road surfaces" from "innovative materials" (by laying slabs that are used for the passage of wheeled and tracked vehicles in conditions of "rough and swampy terrain" ...

In May 2011, VVP announced the creation of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), an incubator for innovative business projects. In spite of, in contrast to Skolkovo, the favorite brainchild of the hapless Medved.
Putin himself headed the supervisory board. Nikitin, after passing an open competition and approval by the President, became the CEO.

On February 13, 2017, Putin, as expected, appointed Nikitin Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region.

Andrei Sergeevich Nikitin is an exclusively Putin creature, equidistant from oligarchic, power and other groups of influence and does not have obvious conflicts with these groups of influence.
The Novgorod region is only used as a training ground and (depending on the results) a launch pad.

There is relatively little information about Nikitin's personal life. It is known that he is a biker (Bad Boyz Moscow club), his wife is a surgeon, and his parents are retirees.

Andrei Sergeevich Nikitin is the current governor of the Novgorod region, who took office in 2017 after early elections. But his knowledge and interests are not limited to his political career. Nikitin is a person with an excellent education and a bold approach to life. He managed to write a dissertation and become the author of several serious scientific articles.

Childhood and youth

Published biographies of Andrei Nikitin often contain an unintentional factual error. He is officially considered to be a native Muscovite.

In fact, on November 26, 1979, little Andrei was born in the Vladimir region, in the city of Kirzhach. His maternal grandfather served there for many years in missile defense. Moscow is recorded as a place of birth due to the registration of parents in the hostel of the State University of Management, which at that time was called the Institute of Management. ...

At the age of 2, the boy moved with his parents to Miass. His father got a job in a car, and his mother, an economic manager by education, held a position in the municipality.


By the end of school, the parents set a condition for their son: if he wants financial support during his studies, he must enter good university... In the list possible locations MGIMO, the country's main diplomatic forge, was also listed. Andrei quickly rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing there - the contingent of students seemed too pompous. Nikitin eventually chose the memorial GUU as the place of study.

In the course of his studies, the young man underwent practical training in the State Duma and the plenipotentiary office of the Southern Federal District. In 2001, a bachelor's degree in public and municipal administration was received, and the question arose where to move next.

Career and politics

Nikitin did not limit himself to five university courses, and postgraduate studies became the next stage of his life. In 2006 Andrey Sergeevich became a doctor economic sciences, having defended a thesis on the difficult topic “The strategy of organizational change as an instrument of effective management (theoretical and methodological aspect).


Then a new stage awaited - 2008 was marked by obtaining a master's degree in business administration. He studied at the Stockholm School of Economics. In addition, Andrei Sergeevich was promoted to associate professor at the State University of Management, at the Department of Theory and Organization of Management.

He began to work as a politician during his studies, but at first the field of activity was business. The first job in this field was the post of Deputy Director of Block Black LLC. After that Nikitin worked as the deputy director for development of the popular Teremok cafe chain. The network known today in Russia then consisted of four trailers, and Andrei himself was engaged in negotiations with local authorities.


For the next 9 years, the man worked at Ruskompozit - under this name the enterprises dealing with fiberglass, geosynthetic materials and composites are united. By 2009, Nikitin's professionalism led to the appointment of the CEO.

In 2011, a non-profit organization "ASI" appeared, the purpose of which was to support new medium-sized businesses. By that time, Andrei Sergeevich had managed to prove himself in coordinating the project "Quality of Russian Roads". As a result, it was Nikitin who was selected from the candidates for leadership of the organization.


As general director, Andrei Sergeevich was remembered primarily for his rejection of the bureaucracy and consistent struggle against it. The result has been a reduction in the time required to register businesses and obtain building permits. The number of documents required for filing has also been reduced.

Nikitin's efforts have been noted many times. He was commended by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the President Russian Federation... Hard work led to the awarding of the medal "For Valiant Labor" to Andrey Sergeevich.


2017 was a year of great change. The person who has become the personification of ASI for 6 years was appointed Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region. Doubts about Nikitin's competence as a politician were dispelled by the time of the early elections. Having worked in office for less than a year, Andrei Sergeevich won, gaining 67.99% of the votes.

Personal life

Due to the same surname, patronymic and similar political positions, Andrei Nikitin can be considered a brother - also a governor, but of the Nizhny Novgorod region. This is not true. Sergei Andreevich has no brothers, his family is his parents, wife and daughter.


The governor's wife is Maya Viktorovna Nikitina, nee Sannikova. They met in school days. Then the girl entered Chelyabinsk medical school and learned to be a doctor, and Andrei himself went to Moscow. However, after graduation, friendly relations nevertheless grew into love.

Maya Viktorovna - specialist in the field of oncological gynecology, candidate of medical sciences. Prior to the appointment of Nikitin as governor, a woman worked at the Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology. Kulakov. By this time, the governor's wife was already in position, so she did not hesitate to leave her job. On February 25, 2017, Maya Nikitina gave birth to a daughter, Arina.


The politician's personal life is in sight, but this does not prevent Andrei Sergeyevich from remaining himself. Since childhood, he dreamed of a motorcycle and in 2011 he managed to make this dream come true. So now a man often rides a "two-wheeled horse" and does not hide it at all. A photo of the governor on a motorcycle can be found on his Instagram account.

In an impromptu interview with young people at a rock picnic by the Vremya is magazine, the politician admitted that he is not indifferent to rock music, and his favorite band is.

Andrey Nikitin now

Andrei Sergeevich continues to work as the governor of the Novgorod region. The man is a supporter of United Russia and takes a responsible approach to political issues. On September 9, 2018, he, along with other townspeople, attended the elections of deputies State Duma.


Nikitin declared his income even when he was the director of the ASI, although he had the right not to do so. Officially, in 2016, the man earned 44.7 million rubles.

After the start of his political career, the salary has decreased, but the governor does not complain - he wants to be useful in his work.

Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted the early resignation of Sergei Mitin from the post of governor of the Novgorod region and appointed the interim head of the region Andrei Nikitin. The corresponding decree was published on February 13, 2017 on the Kremlin website and came into force from the moment of signing.

“I want to appoint you as the acting head of the region, I consulted with the current governor on this issue,” the head of state said at a meeting with Andrey Nikitin.

The Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region thanked the President for his trust and stressed that he has yet to earn the trust of the people in the region.

“From the point of view of social life, one must first of all listen to people. If we use the experience that we at ASI saw in the regions, then we need to rely on the opinion of residents, doing landscaping, doing things related to improving the quality [of life], ”said Andrei Nikitin.

The priorities for the development of the region as a logistics corridor between the two capitals Andrei Nikitin named tourism and the industry "associated with processing, which works for this main cluster of our population, which is located between Moscow and St. Petersburg." At the same time, he stressed that “it is important to remove all restrictions, all barriers to the maximum extent for those entrepreneurs who are already working in the Novgorod region”.

Andrey Nikitin previously headed the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI). The appointment to the post of CEO of ASI took place on July 27, 2011 following an open competitive selection, which took part. The decision on the appointment of candidates for the leading positions of ASI was made by the competition committee headed by Vladimir Putin.

Governor of the Novgorod Region Sergei Mitin, whose term expires in October 2017, announced his decision to step down early on Monday morning at a press conference in Veliky Novgorod.

“I have informed the President of the Russian Federation about this in advance. I turned to the head of state with a request to give me a new instruction. This is my deliberate and balanced step, ”Sergei Mitin told reporters.
