Quotes by Alexander Khinshtein

“I can’t say that I have never encountered everyday anti-Semitism. Of course I had to. However, it wasn't terrible."

“Russia is a country where the personality factor plays the main role. This is how it happened historically. Alexander II came to power - reforms began. Nicholas II came - Russia rolled downhill. Everything depends on the first person.

“The bureaucracy appears only where there is an unwillingness of the authorities to talk directly with people. The more officials, the more obstacles and barriers.”

“In my opinion, the first problem is drunkenness. Let's take, for example, the hinterland: she drinks too much! The low level of culture, life in general... In addition, there is no single ideology and faith that could unite people.”

“In principle, I treat everything that is written and said about me quite calmly. Some things do not hurt me at all and rather make me smile, but it also happens that some moments are unpleasant for me purely humanly. Nevertheless, I am deeply convinced that any public person should be mentally prepared for this. As in a war: if a soldier goes to fight, then he must understand that he can be killed at any moment. When choosing politics and power, one must be prepared for the fact that one will have to isolate oneself from the outside world and forget about the right to privacy.”

“It would be foolish of me to say that publicity is unpleasant for me. This is coquetry. Of course, it's nice when they recognize you, approach you, ask something. At the same time, this medal has a reverse side. Publicity brings certain difficulties. In many situations, you cannot behave the way another person or yourself would have behaved in a past, “unknown” life.

The growth of Alexander Khinshtein: 175 centimeters.

Biography, life story of Khinshtein Alexander Evseevich

Alexander Evseevich Khinshtein is a former deputy of the State Duma, a journalist whose materials caused a mixed reaction in society.

early years

Alexander was born on October 26, 1974 in Moscow in an ordinary family. Parents worked as engineers, but since childhood, the son was mainly attracted to the humanities. After leaving school, he got a job at the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper: at first he worked on a voluntary basis, then he was accepted into the staff.

How yesterday's schoolboy managed to get into a popular publication is unclear, but in this edition the young journalist stayed for almost 12 years. During this time, Alexander managed not only to enter the faculty of journalism at Moscow State University, but also to graduate from it.

scandalous name

Until 1996, nothing was known about the journalist Khinshtein to the general public, even despite the fact that he wrote for a respectable socio-political publication. The young author managed to loudly declare himself through a series of piquant articles about noble people, in particular, about. Alexander felt a taste for sharp investigations and enthusiastically wrote revealing articles. Some of them became the object of close attention of the competent authorities, as a result of which a criminal case was initiated against the oppositionist. Investigators carefully studied the facts set forth in the meticulous journalist's publications and attempted to use his information against the former head of government. Khinshtein was especially famous for the article about the removal of a box from the government building, in which his associates packed half a million dollars.

Path to politics

CONTINUED BELOW

The growing popularity of Alexander Khinshtein by leaps and bounds prompted him to think about the expediency of a political career. In 1999, he tried to "storm" the State Duma of the 3rd convocation, but failed. Nevertheless, Alexander pulled himself together and continued to fight for the deputy chair. He was given confidence by the fact that a more successful opponent was ahead of him by an insignificant number of votes.

In 2003, his campaign efforts were crowned with success. Even while within the walls of parliament, Alexander did not forget that his true vocation is journalism. He continued to conduct investigations, the results of which he published in the press, wrote a book about the years of the reign of the first president of Russia, and fought with high-ranking official Mikhail Zurabov.

Life outside politics and journalism

The publicist, who systematically stirred up various secrets of eminent people, always tried to keep the details of his personal life under great secrecy. The media leaked information that Alexander lived with his first wife Yulia for a relatively short time and divorced her in 2008. The couple had no children.

After an unsuccessful marriage, Khinshtein led a bachelor life for a long time, devoting almost all his time to work. However, he could not resist the charm of Olga, who had just started acting. The fateful meeting took place at one of the private parties. The girl did not know who her boyfriend really was, and Alexander was flattered that he attracted her attention simply as an interesting man.

Young people were in no hurry to get married, they just enjoyed each other's company. Over time, the girl became pregnant, but even people close to her had no idea who she should give birth to. The truth surfaced in 2014, after the appearance of his son Artem.
