The childhood and youth of Anatoly Chubais
Anatoly Chubais, born into a military family, learned all the “delights” of garrison life from childhood.
Father, Boris Matveevich Chubais, became a retiree with the rank of colonel and taught students of the Leningrad Mining Institute the philosophy of Lenin and Marx. Mother, Raisa Khamovna Sagal, had an extraordinary mind, had a specialty in economics, however, she never worked, devoting herself to the family and raising her sons. The mother paid attention to the multifaceted development of the boy, as well as his brother Igor, who in the future became a Doctor of Philosophy, professor of the Department of Social Philosophy of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the RUDN University.
Even at school (the future politician became a first-grader in Odessa), Anatoly preferred exact sciences and came up with all sorts of clever inventions.
Future politician Anatoly Chubais was born into a military family
In the mid-60s, the family lived in Lviv, and in 1967, military service brought the father and the whole family to the city of palaces and museums. In Leningrad, Chubais studied at a school with military-patriotic education.
In the family of a Soviet officer, there were often discussions regarding political and philosophical topics, and young Anatoly was an unwitting witness to the debates that took place between his father and his older brother. This uniquely influenced the young man’s choice and he chose the economics university over the philosophical direction.
Student years and the beginning of Chubais’s career in politics
In 1972, Anatoly became a student at the Leningrad Engineering and Economic Institute named after Palmiro Tolyatti.
He chose the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The future ideologist and leader of Russian market reforms and privatization activities graduated from his first alma mater with honors in 1977. Chubais’s work experience began within the walls of his native institute, where he worked as an engineer, assistant and associate professor. At the same time, he was writing a dissertation, which he successfully defended in 1983.
Chubais - March of the Nanists In 1980, Anatoly decided to join the ranks of the Communist Party. At that time, the democratic movement was actively developing in Leningrad. Leningrad economists organized an informal circle, the leader of which was Chubais, along with Grigory Glazkov and Yuri Yarmagaev. The fruit of their joint work was the scientific work “Improving the management of scientific and technological progress in production.”
Members of the circle also included future Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Kudrin, President of the Banking House "St. Petersburg" Vladimir Kogan, the late Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Mikhail Manevich, as well as older brother Igor.

Yeltsin's doll guarantees that Chubais is to blame...and Timurka too Vladimir Vladimirovich™ about Chubais and the CIA Song about Chubais March of onanists.
Almost. By the way, Channel One Visiting Vanya Urgant In this country, Anatoly Borisovich Chubais has long become a meme. All state employees, pensioners and other socially vulnerable citizens believe (not without reason) that Chubais is to blame for all their troubles. As confirmation, you can quote the EBNa doll from the famous program: “Chubais is to blame for everything.”
This is what is written in the “Mythological Dictionary”, ed. D. S. Likhacheva, B. A. Rybakova and others, pp. 999‒1000. M., “Science”, 1996:
| Chubais (chubas, chubys, chubais, red imp) in the lower mythology of the Great Russians and Latgalians is a small, malicious house spirit. Ch. was represented in the form of a pot-bellied red rat “with a face like a human.” He moves into houses at the behest of evil sorcerers, extinguishes the fire in the hearth, demanding a ransom of grain (“he will take everything from the barns, sweep it from the bottoms”) and animals (“what moos and bleats, clucks and barks, a cow and a dog - drive them into the gullies, chicken and goat - to my lair"), but not because he wants to eat, but then to make people starve. “He eats neither life nor meat, drinks neither beer nor kvass, but feeds on human misfortune.” Ch. first settles in one hut, but if he doesn’t survive, he can “empty the whole volost.” <…> There is a well-known cycle of fairy tales about the victory of a wandering hero over Ch. The hero (a blacksmith, a soldier or a “passerby” without specifying his occupation) ends up in a house (in a village) where Ch. is rampaging: “Why, good people, in the cold you sit in the hut in the dark, eat dry crust - “Chubai’s fire started to burn.” The hero decides to fight the demon and lights a candle at midnight. An enraged Ch. appears and demands a ransom, threatening to put out the fire. “Try it,” says the hero, “you probably won’t even be able to use a thimble.” Ch. climbs into the thimble, the hero covers it with a candle, “Nikolin’s image of a burning one,” and then crushes it with a hammer and throws it into the swamp (blacksmith) or loads it into a gun and shoots “into the white light” (soldier).” (Kikimors are children cursed by their parents, Ch. is a “whore’s miscarriage”). |
Recognition among the people.
According to messages from the Echo Matzo forum, there is no such dictionary and there could not be: Likhachev and Rybakov have different schools, and the first one dealt not with mythology, but with ancient Russian literature; they did not have a common vocabulary. It is interesting that there are a huge number of links to this “dictionary” on the Internet, but the texts are different, although the links to the same pages are 999-1000!
In the “Mythological Dictionary” (a hefty volume) edited by A. M. Prokhorov (and about 20 other co-authors, including D. S. Likhachev) published in 1992, there is no such word. There are no “Chubais” in Dahl’s dictionary, although all the other evil spirits (goblin, ghouls, brownies...) are there. This and similar words are not found in the fundamental work “Myths of the Peoples of the World” (in two huge volumes). The same is in the book by S.V. Maksimov “The Unclean, Unknown and Power of the Cross” (1981, reprint of the pre-revolutionary edition).
Finally, the book “The Russian people, their customs, rituals, legends, superstitions and poetry.” Collection M. Zabylin, in four parts. Moscow, 1880. There is no “Chubais” there[1].
“Chubys”, however, is present in the book “Paganism of the Ancient Slavs” by Rybakov, the rest was conjectured later.

A. Chubais and A. Sobchak
In the fateful 1991, Anatoly Borisovich Chubais was elected chief adviser on economic issues to the mayor's office of Leningrad. There, an economist assembles a special group for a strategy for the development of the Russian economy. In the fall, Chubais becomes head of the Russian State Committee for State Property Management. A real breakthrough in his career was his election as Prime Minister of the Russian Federation during the reign of Boris Yeltsin.
In this position, Anatoly implemented his long-standing economic program, which made him famous. We are talking about privatization, when more than a hundred thousand enterprises were transferred to the private sector. The privatization campaign is still assessed ambiguously by politicians and economists, and the population has an extremely negative attitude towards it. However, if you look closely, despite all the failure of privatization, Russia had no other choice then.
In 1993, Chubais successfully ran for the State Duma from Russia's Choice, a center-right party. In November, he takes up a high position - becoming the first prime minister. The Federal Securities and Exchange Commission appoints him as its head.
Since then, the name of Anatoly Borisovich Chubais began to sound everywhere, many began to be interested in his nationality and biography, since he achieved real success. However, society is increasingly beginning to view him with a negative attitude.
During the presidential elections, Chubais becomes the head of Yeltsin's election campaign. He creates the “Civil Society Foundation” with the aim of increasing Boris Yeltsin’s rating among the population. The Foundation successfully completed its tasks, therefore, after winning the elections, the President gave Chubais the post of head of the Presidential Administration.

In this company, Chubais is also involved in transferring shares into private hands. However, his colleagues did not approve of this, noting some of the failure of his reforms.
The company was liquidated 11 years later, Anatoly Borisovich becomes the director of a state-owned corporation called the Russian Nanotechnology Corporation. Chubais began to re-register the corporation into an open joint-stock company. Under his leadership, it quickly reached the top and became the main innovative company in Russia.
