The parliamentarian, who has known the Kremlin official for 23 years, wrote in her birthday greeting that he never betrayed those around him “when others turned away from them.”
State Duma deputy from the Saratov region Olga Batalina posted on her Facebook page a congratulation on the birthday of the first deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Volodin. In particular, Batalina reports that the influential native of the Saratov region “has a wonderful family, a real reliable rear - mother, wife, adult daughter, two little sons,” whom he protects.
“Happy birthday, Vyacheslav Viktorovich! Over the 23 years that I have known you, I have seen you in different situations. And you have never changed your life principles. And you didn’t betray those who were close to you when others turned away from them. Your integrity, which some might mistake for a weakness, is actually one of your greatest strengths that attracts people to you. There are few who know how to appreciate and cherish good human relationships as much as you do,” Olga Batalina addressed Vyacheslav Volodin via Facebook (Volodin does not have an official page on this American social network - ed.)
Let us note that in the declarations in which officials must report the income of spouses and minor children, Vyacheslav Volodin indicated two sons last year. Also, the first deputy head of the presidential administration has an adult daughter, Svetlana Volodina, last year on the topic “Multi-party system as the basis of the constitutional system of Russia” at the Saratov Law Academy. There is no information about Vyacheslav Volodin’s wife in official documents; he did not indicate information about her income in the declaration.
Unlike President Vladimir Putin, Vyacheslav Volodin does not hide his children. Last year, he invited several journalists to his country house (Alexey Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation wrote about the plot and buildings on it - editor’s note) and introduced him to his two-year-old son Vova; Volodin’s youngest son was sleeping at that time.
In addition, Volodin showed correspondents his Alabai, nicknamed Bagira, and said that he was learning to fly a helicopter, and also assured them that the beds on his property were not “marble,” as Alexei Navalny claimed.
The name of Vyacheslav Volodin has recently been mentioned not only in connection with his government activities. Thus, in the public sphere, the personal life of an official is actively discussed. The disgraced clergyman Vsevolod Chaplin, in particular, stated that Volodin should respond to rumors about his non-traditional sexual orientation. Chaplin also spoke about Volodin's presidential ambitions. Earlier, an article was published in which it was reported that LGBT activist Nikolai Alekseev disseminated information about the homosexuality of a number of political figures in Russia at the direction of the US State Department. The article also provided a document confirming this version. However, later the US Embassy not only pointed out spelling errors in it to journalists. Then banners with the Izvestia logo appeared in Moscow. The publication stated that it had nothing to do with advertising products and promised to sue those who ordered the posters.
Last week, the Svobodnye Novosti news agency posted on its website about the presidential ambitions of Vyacheslav Volodin, asking readers if they were ready to give him their votes. It was not possible to obtain objective results because the survey was attacked by bots. As a result, the majority of votes in the editorial poll went to the current President Vladimir Putin. The option that Vyacheslav Volodin has no presidential ambitions also turned out to be popular. You can read more about the survey results from the system administrator of the Svobodnye Novosti news agency, Anatoly Leontyev.
Vyacheslav Viktorovich Volodin is the speaker of the State Duma of the 7th convocation, a famous patriot-power leader, one of the most prominent persons of United Russia. In the past, he was the first deputy head of the Kremlin administration, responsible for ideology and domestic policy, State Duma deputy, head of the government apparatus, deputy prime minister and vice-governor of the Saratov region.The politician’s statement made in 2014 in Sochi, during a speech at the Valdai Discussion Club, had a noticeable resonance in society, namely: “Without Putin there is no Russia.” Although some critics considered his statement not so much a conscious conviction as a desire to be in a kind of trend.
His advice to study and make the collection “Words That Change the World” into a reference book did not go unnoticed by the public. Key quotes from Vladimir Putin,” which was sent out by the Kremlin administration at the end of 2015 as a New Year’s gift to heads of executive committees, governors, deputies and other officials (approximately 1 thousand copies in total).
Childhood and family of Vyacheslav Volodin
The future famous statesman was born on February 4, 1964 in the village of Alekseevka, at the foot of the Khvalynsky Mountains, Saratov region. There he lived with his older sister under the supervision of his grandparents until 1968. His mother, Lidia Petrovna, who devoted her entire life to the teaching profession, worked as a kindergarten teacher in one of the neighboring villages, where she then took her grown-up children. She subsequently worked as a primary school teacher. 
Later, another son was born into the family. There is no publicly available information regarding the father of the family. It is known that Volodin’s brother chose the path of the military, and his sister became an employee of a consulting firm.
In the lower grades, Vyacheslav was a straight C student. However, he could not be called lazy, for example, at the age of 14 he worked all summer on a state farm as an assistant combine operator. Having matured, he corrected the situation with his academic performance, which allowed him to successfully pass the entrance exams to the Saratov Institute of Agricultural Mechanization.
Already in his first year, Vyacheslav Volodin showed himself as a Komsomol activist: he was involved in organizing the accommodation and life of students as a member of the trade union committee, was a participant in the construction brigade movement, being a commissar of the detachment, at the age of 20 he headed the trade union committee of the institute, at the age of 21 he became a member of the CPSU.
In 1986, he graduated from SIMAKh and remained in graduate school. At this time, he simultaneously taught and wrote a scientific work “Development and justification of the parameters of a weight dosing device for stem feed,” which he defended in 1989 and received a Candidate of Technical Sciences degree.
Political career of Vyacheslav Volodin
Volodin’s political path dates back to 1990 – it was then that he became a deputy of the City Council. In 1992, he managed the affairs of the city administration, in 1993 he was deputy rector of the Volga Personnel Center (which received the status of a civil service academy in 1995), worked there as a professor, and headed the department. In 1994, another career leap took place - he was nominated to the regional Duma from the “Union of Reserve Officers” (although he was not a military man). 
According to some sources, its promotion on a city scale was facilitated by the head of the regional political council of United Russia, academician Pyotr Glybochko. He has long been friends with Volodin, their wives are sisters.
In 1995, the young politician graduated from the Russian Academy of Civil Service, received a Doctor of Law degree in 1996, and began to rapidly gain popularity and significance in the political environment thanks to his amazing performance and personal qualities. For his ability to achieve goals with the help of unpredictable actions and complex “multi-moves”, he was given the nickname “Byzantine” (later, at the suggestion of Boris Gryzlov, he was also called “Saratov Chrysostom” - for his undeniable oratorical talent).
Due to the loss of mutual understanding with Governor Ayatskov, who began to perceive Volodin as a dangerous competitor, Volodin had to leave power. He moved to the capital and went into business, while simultaneously participating in the organization of the Fatherland political project under the patronage of Yuri Luzhkov. In 1999, this political force merged with the All Russia movement, Volodin became its parliamentarian, and in 2001, the head of this electoral bloc.
Two years later, after the merger of OVR and Unity into United Russia, he, through complex political intrigue, as the media claimed at that time, became vice-speaker and first deputy leader of the United Russia faction. In 2005 he was elected secretary general, and in 2007 he was re-elected to the State Duma. In 2009, he took the position of head of the department of government construction at Moscow State University.
In 2010, a prominent United Russia member was appointed chief of staff of the Russian government - deputy prime minister. He was the initiator of the creation of a new political project - the All-Russian Popular Front - to replace the "United Russia", which was fed up with voters.

At that time, Volodin’s name was familiar to many residents of the region, and he could become the next governor.
