/ world today news/ Elvira Sahipzadovna Nabiulina/on the above photo/ believed in the ideals of communism in her youth and was the first in the course to be accepted into the CPSU (1985). After some time, the Tatar girl from Bashkiria fell out of love with Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx in the blink of an eye and fell madly in love with the young reformers of Gaidar. From now on, only upswings, no downs and crashes. Under Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin, he built a dizzying career. For almost eight years, the petite lady with glasses, the wife of the rector of the Higher School of Economics, a connoisseur of French cinema and “broochs with meaning” headed the Central Bank of the Russian Federation – a special public-legal institution of Russia, a mega-regulator carrying out its activities independently of others federal bodies of state power, bodies of power of subjects of the Russian Federation and bodies of local self-government.
And now it seems that they have found a replacement for the 57-year-old “priceless Elvirochka”. “For a long time, the idea to fire Elvira Nabiulina encountered the problem of the absence of an adequate replacement for her in the post of head of the Central Bank. Almost everyone agreed that it was time for Nabiulina to go. Only with regard to her replacement was there no unanimity. Sources say the matter is now virtually settled. And a suitable application was found in the same building. This is the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, Olga Skorobogatova. Having passed through a number of high-ranking Kremlin and government offices, Skorobogatova has assured their occupants that the abuses in bank bankruptcies, the failure of financial machinations and the jumps in the exchange rate are purely and simply a personal failure of her leader. And Skorobogatova herself is inclined to position herself as a reliable professional, with whom the Central Bank expects an impressive leap towards a bright future. That is why an active PR campaign has been launched for the correct positioning of Skorobogatova. Within the framework of this campaign, the idea of creating five Silicon Valleys in Russia, launching mortgages on a blockchain platform and a digital ruble has already sounded. All these ideas should evoke sympathy and support from the digital technology-obsessed Prime Minister Mishustin. And also to Putin himself, who has been paying a lot of attention to them lately. At the moment, during various meetings, Skorobogatova has carefully begun to distance herself from Nabiulina, on whom all the failures and transgressions of the main bank of the country may soon be blamed”, reports the channel in “Telegram” VCHK-OGPU.

“Before entering the Bank of Russia, I worked for a long time in commercial structures – and for a long time in high positions. To be honest, I had no intention and no plans to move to the Central Bank… I wished I had more personal time. Now I only have time to call my beloved husband and take rare trips on vacation. My personal goal is to establish a work-life balance. I have to work on it,” Skorobogatova said recently in an interview.
