Oleg Kudinov Biography

His short official biography, as it has traditionally developed, indicates only his professional qualities, business and scientific achievements, which were successfully implemented by him in numerous socially significant projects, in writing 8 books and more than 40 scientific articles in state construction, elections in Russia, the use of business games in political training.

It also caused admiration of how rare taste and artistic instinct was possessed by Oleg Petrovich, when in friendly conversations with him it came to book novelties, films, or generally about the importance of culture in various areas of human life. His estimates were laconic, but invariably deep and accurate. Recently, the figure of a political consultant is often even a little demonized, accompanied by a train of dark guesses, intrigues and speculations.

And there are reasons for this, unfortunately, thanks to the efforts of the press, almost part of the mass of the Massquulture, the topic of “harnessed” elections, “color revolutions”, their backstage organizers and customers. But each time he marked the “dark”, the conspiracy theological side of this work, occupying a position on the “bright” side.

On the side of the knowledge of social moods, preferences of various groups of the electorate and the characteristics of the electoral system in a particular country. For example, what the answer he gave to the question of the Infocus site. The standard criterion is collected more than that of a competitor, an election fund. Several times this did not play a role, but most often it becomes a decisive factor ..

However, the American system is built in such a way that, despite the rhetoric, to prevent surprises and especially “strangers” in power. ” As you can see, the forecast of Kudinov was justified. And so it was always when Oleg Petrovich came to participate in an elected or PR campaign in some region or city. He never relied on someone’s “introductory” proposed to him in a situation in this place.

He preferred to meet not only with candidates, but also with voters, with business representatives and political parties, and always knew how to find a common language with people, without even sharing their views or interests. And most importantly - he knew how to listen and never imposed anything, sensitively reacting to the mood of people. His gift of beliefs was based only on specific facts, on the ability to see the hidden motives of public expectations, sometimes those that could not clearly formulate those with whom he worked or to whom he addressed.

The circle of his professional interests was extremely wide: the development of the Russian political system, party construction, the development of civil society, the legislative process in Russia, the elections of authorities, the development of the political situation in the CIS countries and the neighboring countries, and decision -making in difficult situations are social decisions.

He had experience in such difficult areas as political analysis and political training, analysis of the legislative process, the intensification of intellectual activity, and the conduct of political and PR campaigns. And everywhere he achieved the goals. I will list the brief milestones of his life path: he was born in G in Riga. Is it from there its paradoxical softness, coupled with a firm adherence to freedom of views and opinions?

In the city in the gg. Kudimov-the head of the personnel and analytical department of the Executive Committee of the VOPD “Our House-Russia” ... under the charm of the personality of Oleg Petrovich, his intellect, I fell many years ago, and each of our meetings, each of our conversations have been to me as a sip of freedom, which helps to overcome many doubts and difficulties generated by our Russian reality.

Overcome and not stop, not give up and move on. Bright memory, Oleg Petrovich!
