Personal business
Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi (59 years old) was born in Moscow in the family of the Pantelei Andreevich Mavrodi installer (half Ukrainian, half Donetsk Greek) and economist Valentina Fedorovna (Russian, from Vladimir). Born with congenital bilateral heart defect, which is why the doctors predicted that he would not live up to eighteen.
Mavrodi himself claims that in childhood he had a phenomenal memory: “I could literally repeat any excerpt that they read aloud to me. But then, due to twelve concussions - I was a very restless child! - Memory worsened somewhat and from the phenomenal became just good. Well, thank God! ”
After graduation, Sergei Mavrodi entered the Moscow Physics and Technical Institute in 1972, but did not work out. As a result, he entered the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. Then they spoke differently about Mavrodi: “He was expelled from the third year for absenteeism and poor performance”, “Fantastic mathematical abilities”, “He was engaged in a student with business-she neighed jeans. They also created a group of preferenceists and played in a seriously with money. ” However, he himself very quickly cooled to study, and practically did not appear at the institute.
In 1983, for the first time was detained for a period of 10 days by the OPSS officers “for private entrepreneurial activity” (the sale of illegal products of the video). During the arrest, when a decision was made to institute criminal proceedings against him, the Decree of the CPSU Central Committee “On Excitements” was issued, and Mavrodi was released. Later he will say: "I needed fate for great things."
In 1989, Mavrodi founded the MMM cooperative, on the basis of which he created several dozen commercial structures, including MMM JSC. On February 1, 1994, shares were paid on free sale. But two months later, trying to circumvent a restriction on the issue of shares, Mavrodi introduces the so -called “MMM tickets” ”, which were not formally securities. Outwardly, tickets resembled a Soviet chervonets, only instead of a portrait of Lenin in the center was a portrait of Sergei Mavrodi. Controlled MMM Mavrodi exclusively by phone. He also developed the company's logo.
On August 4, 1994, Mavrodi was arrested on charges of hiding taxes from the income of the Invest-Consulting company he headed. From prison, he suspended the activities of MMM and began collecting signatures for registration with a candidate for deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. On October 30, 1994, Mavrodi was elected deputy in the Mytishchi district. Having become a deputy, Mavrodi wrote an official statement on the rejection of the deputy salary and all deputy privileges: benefits, cottages, and official car. He did not hide that he was going to deputies exclusively for the sake of deputy inviolability, and from the moment the deputy was elected at any meeting of the parliament. A year later, on October 6, 1995, State Duma deputies ahead of schedule ceased his deputy powers.
On September 2, 1997, MMM JSC was declared bankrupt. In 2003, Mavrodi was convicted of large fraud. The investigation recognized more than 10 thousand people as victims, however, according to indirect estimates by experts, about 10 million people were injured.
Sergei Mavrodi was released in May 2007. Currently hiding from law enforcement agencies in connection with the next criminal case instituted against him (in May 2012).

Disagreement. And everyone in the eternal love swore: “Ah, Sergey Panteleevich! .. Yes, we! .. Yes, you! ..” And yet they then handed me in chorus. It was necessary for them, of course, not to change everything at once. A little bit. On a leash, so to speak, to hold. On a short leash. But I thought, damn it: decent people! ”, Mavrodi about what was after his election by the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
