Ella Pamfilova's childhood and education

Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova (maiden name - Lekomtseva) was born on September 12, 1953 in the city of Almalyk, Tashkent region, Uzbek SSR.

Ella's parents - Alexander Savelyevich and Polina Nikitichna Lekomtsev - were simple working people. The girl's upbringing was mainly done by her grandfather. Ella grew up in Central Asia. My parents had a large house with a garden. The father even electrified the garden himself so that his daughter (Ella loved to read in the garden) could be outside until late.

At school, Ella Pamfilova was in good standing: she studied well and helped those who were behind. In 1970, Ella received a certificate of secondary education, graduating from school with a gold medal. As an excellent student, she was given the honor of presenting flowers to the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev, when he came to Tashkent, says Ella Pamfilova’s biography on the “Find out everything” website.

In 1970, Ella Pamfilova entered the Moscow Energy Institute (MPEI), from which she successfully graduated in 1976 with a degree in electronic engineering.

The beginning of Ella Pamfilova’s working career

The biography of Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova says that since 1977 she got a job at a mechanical repair plant of the Mosenergo production association. But soon (Pamfilova’s husband was a military man), the young people had to leave for the Taman Peninsula. In 1980, Ella Pamfilova returned to the plant and began working as a foreman, and then as a process engineer.

Ella Alexandrovna, thanks to her active work, was elected chairman of the trade union committee. From October 1986 to August 1989, Ella Pamfilova was the chairman of the trade union committee of Mosenergo, according to her biography on Wikipedia.

Social and political activities of Ella Pamfilova

Ella Pamfilova joined the CPSU in 1985, and in 1989 she was elected as a people's deputy to the Supreme Council from trade unions. Pamfilova dealt with issues of ecology and rational use of natural resources, and was a member of the relevant committee.

In the 90s, as is known, the collapse of the Soviet Union began and at the same time the rapid flowering of democratic freedoms. In 1990, Ella Alexandrovna left the ranks of the CPSU, joining the democratic opposition. She was entrusted with the post of Secretary of the Supreme Council for Privileges and Benefits. At the same time, Ella Pamfilova worked in the anti-corruption commission. But corruption turned out to be stronger, and, as Pamfilova said in one of her interviews, she did not achieve significant success in this area.

Then Ella Pamfilova’s career progressed quickly. By decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin in 1991 she was appointed to the post of Minister of Social Protection of the Population of the Russian Federation. Being an admirer of reforms Yegor Gaidar, Ella Alexandrovna wanted to resign in 1992 in protest against the dismissal of the prime minister. But Boris Yeltsin never signed Pamfilova’s resignation, and she continued her career in the government Viktor Chernomyrdin.

In February 1994, Boris Yeltsin nevertheless accepted the resignation of Ella Pamfilova, and she left the post of Minister of Social Protection. Already in May 1994, she became the chairman of the public Council on Social Policy under the President. Also in those years, Pamfilova’s biography included work in the State Duma in the committees on social policy and security. Ella Alexandrovna was a member of the “Choice of Russia” faction and the “Russian Regions” deputy group. She was elected to the State Duma from the Kaluga region and in the Kaluga single-mandate constituency.

Then Ella Pamfilova organized the public movement “For a Healthy Russia” and became its leader (since 1996). In the 1999 parliamentary elections, Ella Alexandrovna failed to get into the State Duma.

Ella Pamfilova is a candidate in the Russian presidential elections

The future head of the Central Election Commission also went through the elections as a participant. Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova ran for president of the Russian Federation in 2000. She was the first woman in Russian history to become a presidential candidate. Pamfilova took 7th place in that presidential race, gaining 1.01% of the votes.

After the elections, Ella Alexandrovna continued her human rights activities; in July 2002, she became the chairman of the Human Rights Commission under the President of the Russian Federation. Since November 2004, in connection with the reorganization of the Commission, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova was appointed to the position of Chairman of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for promoting the development of civil society institutions and human rights.

Ella Pamfilova's biography on Wikipedia states that in March 2001 she was elected chairman of the Civic Dignity movement.

In April 2002, Pamfilova was elected chairman of the All-Russian Union of Public Associations “Civil Society for the Children of Russia.” In 2006, together with the largest Russian NGOs, Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova became the initiator of the “Civil Eight 2006” project.

In 2010, Ella Pamfilova, as Wikipedia writes, due to disagreement with amendments to the legislation providing for the expansion of the preventive powers of the FSB, voluntarily resigned as chairman of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for promoting the development of civil society institutions and human rights.

In 2014, Ella Pamfilova returned to politics. By the decision of the State Duma and the President of the Russian Federation, she was appointed to the post of Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation. A year later, Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova was recognized by experts from the ISEPI Foundation as one of the most effective Russian politicians.

Ella Pamfilova heads the Electoral Commission

In March 2016, she became a new member of the Central Election Commission under the presidential quota and left her post as Federal Commissioner for Human Rights.

On March 28, Ella Pamfilova was elected chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation. 14 out of 15 members of the new Central Election Commission voted for her candidacy.

Ella Pamfilova promised to honestly and conscientiously fulfill her duties and be guided by the principles on which she has always relied, the news reported. “My entire biography, all my activities are in plain sight. You know all the pros and cons,” said the former Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation.

In 2018, Ella Pamfilova, as the head of the Central Election Commission, naturally gets into the news in connection with the election of the Russian President. It monitors violations committed by candidates for the post of President of Russia.

In particular, the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, made a remark to the Kremlin representative at a commission meeting on February 2, 2018 Dmitry Peskov for a statement that contained “obvious signs of agitation” in favor of his immediate superior, the President of the Russian Federation.

“On behalf of the Central Election Commission, I will now make a remark to the president’s press secretary about preventing such statements in the future,” the media quoted Pamfilova. Ella Alexandrovna clarified that an “obvious violation” was committed on January 29.

Earlier, Ella Pamfilova noted that the Central Election Commission tried to interfere in the activities of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Pamfilova said that attempts by the former head of Yukos to put any pressure on her or her colleagues make no sense.

“I am not afraid to bear responsibility for my decisions either before the court of history or before anyone, since I rely on the Constitution, the law, my life principles and beliefs. All various forms of public pressure on me and my colleagues on the Central Election Commission are meaningless,” Pamfilova was quoted as saying in the news.

Regarding the claims of a president who was not allowed to participate in the elections Alexei Navalny Ella Alexandrovna noted that this person “according to Russian legislation, it will be impossible to register as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation due to his criminal record.”

Among other things, Pamfilova said that she does not currently have the right to speak out about the candidates, since she is in the status of an official heading the structure for registering candidates. And she noted that Navalny for her is a “sacred political cow” that she tries not to touch.

By January 1, the Central Election Commission of Russia received notifications of events related to the nomination of 64 presidential candidates; the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, called this figure a record, however, only the most serious of the candidates reached the start of the presidential race.

On February 6, the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, announced that all candidates for the Russian presidency who reached the Central Election Commission had been verified and there were no grounds for refusing registration. This is an unprecedented case, Pamfilova noted.

The material was prepared based on information from open sources

Ella Pamfilova is an influential Russian politician, founder of the “For a Healthy Russia” movement. Ella Alexandrovna is called one of the few who inspires sincere trust among the majority of citizens. Pamfilova believes that the main wealth of a person is love for people, which is why the politician calls himself a very rich man.

Ella was born and raised in the Uzbek village of Almalyk, Tashkent region; the politician does not hide this fact, although because of this she is forced to face questions about her nationality.

Ella Pamfilova's father, Alexander Savelyevich, and mother Polina Nikitichna were workers and often disappeared outside the home, so the burden of raising the girl fell on the shoulders of her beloved grandfather. Ella spent most of her free time in her grandfather's garden. The girl loved to climb trees and read books in a wooden house that her grandfather made for her on a tall fruit tree.

At school, the girl was an excellent student and an active assistant to teachers and classmates. Ella, on her own initiative, helped her comrades who were lagging behind and participated in extracurricular activities. For example, Ella was entrusted with presenting flowers to the Secretary General when the Secretary General came to Tashkent.

Pamfilova received her matriculation certificate along with a gold medal and a very good level of knowledge. The girl decided not to stay in Central Asia, but went to the capital of the Soviet Union and submitted documents to Moscow State University. But in those days it was not enough just to pass the entrance exams. Ella was not accepted into Moscow State University for the reason that her Komsomol dues were not paid on time.

Then the purposeful applicant chose another university and entered the Moscow Energy Institute, where six years later she received a qualification as an electronics engineer.

The future politician’s first place of work was the Central Mechanical Repair Plant of the Mosenergo production association, where the girl came to work as a foreman, rose to the rank of process engineer and, ultimately, took the place of chairman of the trade union committee, from which Ella Pamfilova’s political biography began.

Policy

As the head of the factory trade union, Ella Pamfilova joined the Supreme Council from trade unions in 1989, where she dealt with environmental issues and natural resources. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, at a personal invitation, a woman entered the cabinet of ministers and took charge of the social protection of the population of the Russian Federation. Thanks to Ella Pamfilova, the work of the pension fund was computerized in the shortest possible time. Ella Alexandrovna also organized and led the movement “For a Healthy Russia”.

Pamfilova remained in this post both under and under. In 2000, Ella Pamfilova became the first Russian female politician to run for the post of President of the Russian Federation, but, having taken only 7th place, she lost this position. However, Pamfilova remained working in the government and worked on issues of civil society and human rights.

In 2002, Ella Pamfilova became the Chairman of the All-Russian Union of Public Associations “Civil Society for the Children of Russia”. In the same year, she was appointed chairman of the Human Rights Commission under the President of the Russian Federation, and two years later - chairman of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for promoting the development of civil society institutions and human rights.

True, in 2010, Ella Alexandrovna, who disagreed with the decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers, voluntarily resigned. However, after four years, the politician, as an experienced professional, was asked to return. Pamfilova became the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation and a year later was recognized as the most effective Russian politician.

Personal life

When Ella Pamfilova, who then still had her maiden name Lekomtseva, became a student at the Energy Institute, she met a young man who was a military man. The young people dated for several years, then they got married, and the wife followed her husband to the Taman Peninsula, where the young military man was sent to serve.

The young family returned to Moscow in 1980. But even earlier, Ella and her husband became parents, as they had a little daughter, Tatyana. While the girl was little, Pamfilova was exclusively involved in raising her daughter, since she believes that even the most caring nanny cannot replace maternal care.

Ella Alexandrovna Pamfilova’s only marriage lasted 17 years, after which the union broke up. The politician was left alone and never married again. Many years later, the daughter gave her mother a granddaughter.

In 2017, Pamfilova’s declared income was measured at 30 million rubles, but not from wages, but from the sale of real estate, as stated in Ella Alexandrovna’s report.

Ella Pamfilova now

On March 3, 2016, the politician began working at the Central Election Commission. Pamfilova was included in the commission under the presidential quota. On March 28 of the same year, Ella Alexandrovna took the post of chairman of the Central Election Commission; in the elections, Ella Alexandrovna’s candidacy was supported by fourteen out of fifteen votes.

Thus, since the spring of 2016, Ella Pamfilova has been working as the chairman of the Central Election Commission. According to the results of opinion polls and according to independent experts, the politician tops the rating of the most influential female politicians in Russia.

Already in April 2016, the press wrote about the statement of the new head of the Central Election Commission that attracted public attention. Ivan Zhdanov, a lawyer at the Anti-Corruption Foundation, spoke about a criminal case brought against a lawyer because of the elections. Ella Alexandrovna replied that Zhdanov knew what could happen when he decided to get involved in politics.

The politician called the primaries of the United Russia party, which took place on May 22, 2016, a “great gift” for the Central Election Commission. This assessment of the head of the Central Election Commission was not hindered by the violations observed by activists and representatives of other parties that occurred during the elections, including ballot stuffing, bribery of potential voters, attacks on observers and riots at polling stations, as well as the lack of impartiality of regional representatives of the election commission.

However, Ella Pamfilova has repeatedly expressed support for the adoption of a law that will strictly regulate the procedure for holding primaries.

In December 2017, the Central Election Commission supported the opposition in registering an initiative group that advocated the nomination of Navalny for the post of President of the Russian Federation. This decision was justified by the fact that the candidate has a criminal record, and for a serious crime, which deprives him of the opportunity to passively use the right to vote.

At the Second Congress of People's Deputies, she voted for the abolition of Article 6 of the USSR Constitution, which secured the leading role of the CPSU in Soviet society, and against the economic program of the government of N. Ryzhkov, which restrained radical market reforms. In 1990, she left the CPSU.

In November 1994, she left the “Russia's Choice” faction in the State Duma of the first convocation, not sharing the position of the Democratic Choice of Russia on the issue of attitude towards the Government, in whose policy “nothing remained of the reforms.” In the State Duma, she initiated a bill to limit deputy powers. In the campaign for elections to the State Duma of the second convocation in 1995, she headed the Pamfilova-Gurov-Lysenko electoral bloc, which, having collected over a million votes, did not overcome the 5 percent barrier. E. Pamfilova was elected as a deputy in a single-mandate constituency in the Kaluga region.
