Leader of the Great Russia party, doctor of political sciences, monarchist, imperialist, Russian nationalist, militarist, Orthodox fundamentalist, national conservative.

Born on August 8, 1962 in the city of Svobodny, Amur Region. He graduated from school in 1979, and from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1985. From 1985 to 1990 he worked at the Institute of Chemical Physics and the Institute of Energy Problems of Chemical Physics. In 1990, he graduated from graduate school, receiving the academic degree of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (specialty in chemical physics).
In the same year, he became a deputy of the Moscow City Council (he worked on the commissions on the consumer market and on the affairs of public organizations, then became director of the Public Center of the Moscow City Council). He worked there until its liquidation.
Since 1992 he has been studying political science.
In 1998 he went to work at the International Congress of Russian Communities.
In 2000, Savelyev defended his doctoral dissertation in political science (specializing in “political institutions and processes”)

In December 2003, Andrei Nikolaevich was elected to the State Duma from the Rodina association. In the State Duma he joined the Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, and was later elected deputy chairman of the committee. He was included in the Duma Accounting Commission.

On January 21, 2005, Savelyev joined the hunger strike within the walls of Parliament announced by representatives of the Rodina faction. This hunger strike was announced after deputies learned that the State Duma’s agenda did not include consideration of an alternative statement “On the negative social consequences of replacing benefits with cash payments.”

A week after the start of the hunger strike, Savelyev was hospitalized with a diagnosis of “low blood sugar.” The remaining deputies stopped their hunger strike in early February 2005. Their demands (the resignation of the Minister of Health Mikhail Zurabov, the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin and the Minister of Economic Development and Trade German Gref; the introduction of a moratorium on the law on the monetization of benefits; the creation of an emergency commission to find ways out of the current crisis) were never fulfilled.

At the end of March 2005, Savelyev’s name appeared in the media in connection with a fight in the State Duma. It was reported that Savelyev had a fight with LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky. Zhirinovsky told reporters that he had filed an application with the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office demanding that criminal cases be opened against Savelyev and the head of the Rodina faction, Rogozin. In response, deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Rodina began collecting signatures for the recall of Zhirinovsky from the post of vice-speaker. They also suggested that their colleagues deprive Zhirinovsky of parliamentary immunity and declared a boycott on him, but this proposal was not accepted, and in April 2005 Savelyev still had to testify at the Prosecutor General's Office in connection with the fight.

In June 2005, shortly after a massive power outage in Moscow and the region, Savelyev suggested that deputies request data from the government on the salaries of members of the board of directors and the board of RAO UES of Russia, as well as the heads of regional energy enterprises that are part of the holding. The State Duma approved his proposal. On June 16, Savelyev took part in an action by representatives of the Moscow branch of the Rodina party, during which an inflatable effigy of the head of RAO UES of Russia, Anatoly Chubais, was launched into the sky. As Savelyev explained, in this way his party comrades sent Chubais into “retirement” ahead of schedule and can hold a similar action on the occasion of the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

At the beginning of October 2005, Rogozin, Savelyev and their party comrade Alexander Babakov introduced amendments to the law on the status of foreigners in Russia to the State Duma. Deputies proposed banning foreigners from trading in markets, citing the need to protect Russian producers. Liberal media have repeatedly tried to accuse the Rodina party of xenophobia.

After it became known in the summer of 2006 about the impending merger of Rodina and the Russian Party of Life of Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov, Savelyev sharply criticized what was happening. When the unification of Rodina, RPZh and the Russian Party of Pensioners, which joined them, led to the creation of a new party, A Just Russia, the politician said: “They (A Just Russia) stole our legal powers. Moreover, 150 thousand of our supporters had status - members of the Rodina party, which has now been stolen from them.”

Andrey Nikolaevich Savelyev is a Russian statesman and political figure. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building. Member of the Presidium of the KRO. Chairman of the political party "Great Russia". Head of the international foundation "Russian Information Center". Doctor of Political Sciences.

Apparently, the Kremlin has set its sights on just such an ending.

The fact that the Russian language is discriminated against in most national republics is no secret. This has been going on since their formation. Russians are disadvantaged here more than in other territorial entities of the Russian Federation. Although in the regions and territories with a majority Russian population, the situation is not much better.

Recently, there has been an increase in interest from the media in the activist of the Russian national idea, fighter against illegal migration, Andrei Savelyev, who heads “Great Russia”, a party that is not registered with the Russian Ministry of Justice.

From the biography of a politician

Citizen of the Russian Federation Savelyev Andrey Nikolaevich is a native of the Amur region. Born August 8, 1962

In 1979, he became a student, entering the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where he studied until 1985.

Then, for five years, he was an employee at the Institute of Chemical Physics and the Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics.

After graduating from graduate school in 1990, he became a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences. He defended his PhD in chemical physics.

Since the same year, Andrei Savelyev worked as a deputy in the Moscow City Council. At first he was on the commission dealing with the consumer market, then he joined the commission in charge of the affairs of public organizations.

At the time of the dissolution of the Mossovet in 1993, Andrei Nikolaevich Savelyev served as director of the Mossovet Public Center.

Passion for political science

Since 1992, Savelyev developed a new hobby - political science. By the next year, he had completed two courses at the Moscow Law Institute, and in 1994 he attended a course for stock market specialists.

From 1995 to 1998, Andrei Savelyev worked in various analytical centers, including the Russian Social and Political Center.

Since 1998, he began active work in the International Congress of Russian Communities.

Since 1999, Andrei Savelyev began to serve as an adviser to the State Duma deputy of the Federal Assembly of Russia Dmitry Rogozin, who at that time was the chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs and was the special representative of the president in Kaliningrad. Rogozin held this position until the fall of 2003.

The year 2000 was remembered by Savelyev for the fact that he became a doctor of political sciences; the topic of his dissertation also concerned processes.

From the fall of 2002 until April 2003, political scientist Andrei Savelyev was engaged in analytical work in the “Rogozin bureau” and was the head of the Kaliningrad apparatus.

Deputy activity

In December 2003, Savelyev was elected to the State Duma. He represented the Rodina association, which, in addition to the Party of Russian Regions, included the Socialist Unity Party and the National Revival Party called People's Will.

In the Duma, Savelyev was included in the committee dealing with constitutional legislation and state building. Later he received the post of deputy chairman of this committee. In addition, he was a member of the Duma Accounting Commission.

On January 21, 2005, Andrei Savelyev decided to join the hunger strike, which was announced by the Rodina faction.

This action was carried out in protest against the State Duma’s refusal to include in the agenda a proposal to consider an alternative version of the bill concerning social problems that could arise after benefits are replaced with cash payments.

In addition to party chairman Dmitry Rogozin, several deputies also took part in this action: Markelov M., Kharchenko I., Denisov O.

Mikhail Markelov made a promise that in order to avoid various kinds of provocative actions, the entire hunger strike procedure would be posted on the website of the Rodina party around the clock.

After a week of hunger strike, Savelyev was diagnosed with “low blood sugar levels,” which was the reason for his hospitalization.

The action was stopped in early February 2005; the protesters failed to achieve a positive result.

The hunger strikers demanded the resignation of a number of ministers, such as Mikhail Zurabov (health), Alexey Kudrin (finance), and Gref German (economic development and trade). They also proposed creating an emergency commission to find the best way out of the current crisis situation.

Conflict with Zhirinovsky

In March 2005, the media reported that a fight took place within the walls of the State Duma, the participants of which were nationalist Andrei Savelyev and LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

In a speech to the press, Zhirinovsky stated that he had submitted an application to the Prosecutor General's Office, which stated the need to initiate criminal cases against Savelyev and the chairman of Rodina, Dmitry Rogozin.

In response to this, deputies of the Rodina faction and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation initiated a collection of signatures for the proposal to recall Zhirinovsky from the post of vice-speaker.

In addition, it was proposed to deprive the leader of the LDPR of parliamentary immunity and declare a boycott on him.

These proposals did not find support among the deputy corps.

Savelyev had to testify to employees of the Prosecutor General's Office about the fight that took place in the Duma with Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Combating abuses at RAO "UES"

In the summer of 2005, there were massive power outages in the capital and Moscow region.

These circumstances prompted Savelyev to suggest that his fellow deputies make a request to the government to find out the size of the salary of the management staff of RAO UES of Russia and managers in the regions.

This idea was approved by the deputy corps.

On June 16, 2005, Savelyev took part in an action held by representatives of the capital’s branch of Rodina, where they symbolically sent Chubais “to a well-deserved rest.” A similar event was planned to be held for the president’s birthday, but it was later abandoned.

About the situation of guest workers

In the fall of 2005, Rogozin, Savelyev and Babakov proposed to the State Duma to change the situation with the situation of foreigners in our country.
In particular, it was proposed to introduce a ban on trade in agricultural products to foreigners in order to protect local producers.

Experts from the Carnegie and Levada Centers have suggested that on the eve of the election campaign to the Moscow City Duma, representatives of Rodina, playing along with the xenophobic idea, are trying to gain the support of the capital's residents.

Since March 2006, information has appeared that Savelyev is included in the directory of “Russian Far-Right Radicals,” which was published by human rights and anti-fascist organizations.

In addition to him, the list of nationalist ideologists includes such well-known odious personalities as Alexander Barkashov (Russian National Unity), Alexander Ivanov-Sukharevsky (People's National Party), Alexander Demushkin (Slavic Union) and Alexander Prokhanov (editor-in-chief newspaper "Zavtra").

Vladimir Kvachkov, who was previously a colonel in the Main Intelligence Directorate and was accused of organizing the assassination attempt on Anatoly Chubais in March 2005, was also named an ideologist of nationalism.

Merger of political structures

Having learned about the upcoming merger of the Rodina party with Mironov’s Russian Party of Life, Savelyev sharply criticized this idea.

After the creation of A Just Russia, which united Rodina, the Russian Party of Life and the Russian Party of Pensioners, Savelyev made a statement that A Just Russia had “stolen its legal powers and membership status in the Rodina party.”

In his opinion, there were sufficient grounds for filing a corresponding claim in court, but no consequences occurred after this statement.

The politician remained in the Rodina faction, which in January 2007 joined the People's Patriotic Union and was renamed A Just Russia - Motherland.

DPNI

In the fall of 2006, Savelyev joined the “Movement against Illegal Immigration,” known by the abbreviation DPNI.

He was the first of the deputies to join this structure, which became famous for its xenophobic spirit. The politician argued that this movement is not extremist.

In his statements to media correspondents, Andrei Savelyev said the following about Putin: The Kremlin has specifically launched a campaign to counter the movement, since the head of state is afraid of his own future and is trying to make the DPNI responsible for the intensification of interethnic conflicts in Russia.

Party "Great Russia"

In the spring of 2007, the newly created political party "Great Russia" held its founding congress. The initiators of the congress were the Rogozin Congress of Russian Communities and the DPNI, which was headed by Belov, but Andrey Savelyev was elected chairman of the party. “Great Russia” has found its leader for a four-year term.

The congress, in addition to electing the governing core of the political structure, adopted the corresponding charter and approved the symbol: the Ussuri tiger in a jump.

Some time after the congress, A. Savelyev was summoned by summons to the investigator of the Basmanny Prosecutor's Office of the city of Moscow, where he was interrogated for almost two hours.

According to Savelyev, the reason for the call to the investigator was a request to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, initiated by the LDPR faction, where it was proposed to find out where the funds for the creation of “Great Russia” came from and whether the disgraced businessman Berezovsky was taking part in its financing.

According to Savelyev, prosecutors were satisfied with the testimony received from him, since the founders of the party did not do anything illegal.

Books by Andrey Savelyev

Savelyev wrote over three hundred articles of a journalistic and scientific nature. When publishing books, he sometimes used the pseudonym A. Kolyev.

2003 was marked by the release of “Political Mythology”, 2005 - “Nation and State”.

Andrei Savelyev wrote a lot about the monarchy.

He is the editor of "The Russian System", "The Inevitability of Empire" and other collections.

Savelyev's family - a wife and two sons. Hobbies: martial arts.
