[...] Igoshin Igor Nikolaevich. Member, of course, of United Russia. Simple, as stated. He comes from Kirov, from journalists there, or media managers, or farmers, or general entrepreneurs in general. The most modest ordinary member of the Committee on Economic Policy, Innovative Development and Entrepreneurship.

True, he has been a deputy for an infinitely long time. He made his first moves along the Communist Party of the Russian Federation line, then only received the high trust of being included in the United Russia list. But it doesn’t matter whether he’s a monkey or a bear cub, and since 1999 - invariably in the Duma. FOURTEEN YEARS OUT OF FORTY-THREE. A third of life...

His tireless parliamentary labors did not go unnoticed: in the spring of 2011, towards the end of the term of office of the previous deputy, he received from the own hands of the Representative of His Imperial Majesty in the State Duma the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland. There was a moment when Igor Nikolaevich even applied for the position of governor of the Kirov province. Did not work out. But that’s okay: when they finish eating, with the prayers of the Bastrykinsky fellows, Nikita Belykh will begin to claim again, but of course. In the meantime, he sits quietly, tries not to breathe quickly, and not to lean too far above the grass...

That's how he is.

Cute, isn't it? Smooth. The temples have been adjusted. The collar is set aside. The look is so soulful. Soft shadows under the eyes: he was tired over the work of a deputy, bending over, thinking a lot, delving deeply. Cared. I doubted it.

Now let's see what's inside his head.

This is, if you please, as they say in American detective stories, “Crime scene.” Location of theft.

Here is a regular text file with Igor Igoshin’s dissertation. Having defended this scientific work at the All-Russian Correspondence Institute of Finance and Economics (Moscow), he became a Candidate of Economic Sciences in 2004.

In total, the Word text of the dissertation “INCREASING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF ENTERPRISES BASED ON THE REALIZATION OF THEIR MARKET POTENTIAL (using the example of the food industry)”, as you can see, contains 187 pages. Fragments stolen from another dissertation are marked in color in the dissertation. Word for word, paragraph for paragraph, page for page. Evaluate for yourself the relationship between the text independently composed for Igoshin’s dissertation (who composed it by whom is a separate fascinating question, which we will generously not touch upon now) and the letters stolen from someone else’s work. If you want to look at the dissertation in detail, up close, you can read it.

You can ignore the diversity: all the stolen fragments were copied from the same source. This is a candidate's thesis defended two years earlier at the Moscow State University of Food Production by Natalya Sergeevna ORLOVA, unknown to us, on the topic "MARKET POTENTIAL AS THE BASIS OF COMPETITIVENESS OF CONFECTIONERY ENTERPRISES." You can also admire it in its entirety.

However, no, one spot of color is still of some special interest. Do you see - closer to the beginning, a fragment of 13 pages painted in a bluish-greenish sea green color? It is interesting in that it was copied from Orlova’s original dissertation TWO TIMES IN A ROW: once torn in half, with foreign pieces inserted into the hole, and the second time in its entirety, in one piece. This is what happens when a dissertation carving master's mouse trembles in his hand...

Something confused you in my last three paragraphs, didn’t it? Something creaked... scratched, right? Oh, here it is: Deputy Igoshin’s stolen dissertation is “on the example of the FOOD industry,” and Orlova’s original dissertation is about CONFECTIONERY enterprises. Of course, the concepts are close: the second, in some way, can be considered an integral part of the first, but still it is not quite the same thing. How can one poke around with such hefty pieces? Should I do something about this?

It is necessary, definitely. Here's what:

This is an example for you. Only one page. On the right is Orlova’s stolen text. On the left is the text, revolutionaryly rethought by Deputy Igoshin. Matching content is marked in yellow, verbatim and decimal-wise. As you can see, everything is simply whistled, from beginning to end. One phrase in the middle is missing (you see - it is the only one left uncolored in Orlova’s text). Igoshin did not add a single letter on his own behalf.

Yes, that's it - "but". Using the SIMPLE GLOBAL REPLACEMENT method (the Microsoft Word program is still remarkably convenient and effective in capable hands), CHOCOLATE in Orlova’s dissertation TURNED INTO BEEF in Igoshin’s dissertation. And not just like that, but with a subtle analysis:

Just “chocolate”, without clarification, has turned into “meat” altogether.
It was “confectionery” - it became “meat processing”.
There was “white chocolate” - it became “Russian beef”.
There was “regular, milk chocolate” - it became “imported beef”.
There was exquisite “dark chocolate” - now there is a cunning “beef on the bone of any origin”.

And so - throughout the text. For all one hundred and eighty-seven copied pages.

That's all. And that's it! NOTHING ELSE. This is enough to become a candidate of economic sciences. You can order business cards. And a frame to hang the diploma on the wall. And go kiss the raped beauty on her lips smeared with beef... oh, that is, with chocolate: “Darling, now you will sleep with theoooooooooooooooI'll be of you.

Do you think this is such a unique invention of the cunningly wise deputy Igor Nikolaevich Igoshin, who was thrust into power? But there’s nothing like that. You can look at the case published by a wonderful specialist in pipeline analysis of dissertations, Andrey Rostovtsev, also known as the Afrikanbo blogger. The one who works hand in hand with the now famous blogger Doct_Z, who first discovered this chocolate crap described here. With the unique Prahvessor, who now sits on the ministerial commission for clearing out dissertation trash heaps...

It describes how one of the co-chairs of the Russian Congress of the Peoples of the Caucasus - his name is Rauf Telmanovich Verdiev - defended his dissertation in 2008 on the topic “Peculiarities of socio-political processes in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.” It was carved with love and care, largely using the magical search-and-replace tool from a completely different dissertation. Who actually wrote this original dissertation, we will discuss with you separately someday, when there is nowhere to rush, but for now we will note that he defended it a year earlier, in 2007, - a widely known employee of the MSU rector’s office in university circles, the head of all youth and student teams of the main university of the country, Idris Adelgireevich Tsechoev. And it was called “Features of socio-political processes in the Republic of Ingushetia.”

So you get it, right? These people, using a simple contextual change, turned Ingushetia into North Ossetia. It was not Dagestan that was converted into Karachay. And it was not Chechnya that was repainted as Circassia. AND INGUSHETIA to NORTH OSSETIA. Anyone who has ever been to those parts over the past twenty years, and who has heard at least something about the history of wars and conflicts in the North Caucasus at the end of the 20th century, who can imagine the relationships of some of the peoples living there side by side, will appreciate the subtle humor of the great scientists Rauf Telmanovich and Idris Adilgireevich. [...]

Scandals

2013 | In March 2013, a journalist Sergey Parkhomenko published in his blog information that the dissertation for the title of Candidate of Political Sciences “INCREASING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF ENTERPRISE BASED ON THE REALIZATION OF THEIR MARKET POTENTIAL (using the example of the food industry) was largely copied from Natalya Sergeevna ORLOVA’s candidate dissertation defended two years earlier at the Moscow State University of Food Production on topic "MARKET POTENTIAL AS THE BASIS OF COMPETITIVENESS OF CONFECTIONERY ENTERPRISES". To confirm this, the blogger provides an analysis of dissertations using the Anti-Plagiarism system. For more details, see.

Igoshin Igor Nikolaevich in the State Duma from United Russia is a member of the committee dealing with economic policy, innovative development and entrepreneurship. He first became a member of the State Duma back in 1999.

Beginning of the biography

The birthplace of the future deputy is the city of Kirov. Date - 12/11/1970

In 1989-1990, his place of work was the regional Television and Radio Broadcasting Committee in his hometown.

Until 1993, he studied at the All-Russian Correspondence Institute of Finance and Economics.

In 1995, Igoshin Igor Nikolaevich took the post of general director of Agroproduct, and four years later - general director of Real-Agro.

At the end of 1999, he was elected to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia.

Until 2001, he studied at the Faculty of Philosophy at Moscow State University. Lomonosov.

About political activity

Igor Nikolaevich Igoshin was elected to the State Duma as part of the federal list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation from the regional group of the Moscow region at number four.

Since January 2001, he has been a member of the Agro-Industrial Deputy Group and is a member of the Committee on Agrarian Problems.

Since 2001, he joined the State Duma deputy inter-factional group - the “European Club”, and soon left the Agrarian Committee and joined the Committee dealing with the budget and taxes.

In 2002, deputy Igoshin Igor Nikolaevich began creating a regional Center for Strategic Development in the city of Vladimir.

According to the results of the 2003 election campaign, he re-entered the State Duma. By the end of this year, he left the ranks of the Communist Party of Russia and throughout 2004 he was a non-party deputy of the State Duma of the fourth convocation.

Since 2005, Igoshin became a member of United Russia. By the end of the year, the United Russia party held its sixth congress, at which he joined the party's General Council.

In the 2007 election campaign, Igor Nikolaevich Igoshin already headed the regional party list in Kirov. He was also the head of the election headquarters.

Work in the party

The United Russia party contributed to Igoshin's passage to the State Duma of the fifth convocation, where he took the post of deputy head of the Committee on Science and High Technologies.

On May 27, 2006, Igoshin was elected to the post of secretary of the political council in the Kirov regional party branch.

In 2008, he was nominated as one of the candidates for the post of regional governor of Kirov.

In the 2011 Duma elections, Igoshin was nominated by United Russia as part of the federal candidate list at number four. He was part of the thirty-sixth regional group representing the Vladimir region.

Based on the results of the election campaign, Igoshin failed to get into the State Duma.

In December 2011, Kirov Governor N. Belykh issued a decree introducing Igoshin to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation as a representative of the regional government, instead of Senator N.I. Shaklein.

By this time, Lyudmila Romanova had abandoned her deputy mandate, and Mikhail Babich received the post of plenipotentiary presidential representative to the Volga Federal District. In this regard, a seat in the State Duma became vacant.

On December 17, 2011, the 75th meeting of the Central Election Commission of Russia took place, at which it was decided to transfer the vacant mandate of the State Duma of the VI convocation to Igoshin.

At the last Duma elections in 2016, Igoshin became a deputy from the 79th Vladimir single-mandate electoral district.

Today, deputy activity consists not only of: There is a deputy’s reception room; on his website you can find the necessary information, in particular, find out how to write a letter to Igor Nikolaevich Igoshin or make an appointment. There is a whole staff of deputy assistants.

Legislative work

Igoshin Igor Nikolaevich, whose office is constantly available to visitors, is regularly involved in legislative activities.

In April 2001, he, together with State Duma deputy Boris Nadezhdin from the Union of Right Forces, amended the law regulating the general principles of the organization of legislative (representative) and executive bodies of state power in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, proposing to hold elections of deputies in the regions using majority-proportional systems. The authors believed that in this way the governor’s influence on legislators would be limited and the work of parties would be stimulated.

On February 18, 2002, the mixed election system received the support of V.V. Putin. According to him, it can serve as the foundation with the help of which a stable, stable and predictable unified party-political system will be created. In mid-April, the State Duma approved this bill.

At the beginning of 2002, Igor Nikolaevich Igoshin, whose contacts among entrepreneurs are quite extensive, proposed a bill to improve the tax climate for businessmen.

In his draft, any new law that worsens the situation of the taxpayer must be put into effect three months after publication, but not earlier than the beginning of the next year. Vedomosti published an article on this topic, after which the bill was unofficially called the “Igoshin-Putin Amendment.”

Blacklist bill

Igoshin proposed a bill providing for the so-called blacklist of airline passengers. This meant introducing a mechanism for generating a list of air passengers who are offenders, whom airlines have the right not to allow on board the aircraft.

The document provided for the inclusion in the register of persons who committed an offense during an air flight over the last five years, and this was confirmed by the courts.

Crew members, by order of the aircraft commander, received the right to take appropriate measures, including coercive measures, against persons who violate order, create an immediate threat to the safety of the flight and refuse to follow the instructions of the aircraft commander.

During the 6th convocation of the State Duma

During the last sixth convocation of the State Duma, Igoshin headed the Working Group on a draft law changing the federal contract system. The bill radically modernized the existing public procurement scheme.

Igoshin proposed anti-corruption amendments, as well as amendments that would prevent unscrupulous customers from using procedures that are poorly protected from corruption.

The main goal of the bill, according to Igoshin, was to eliminate interdepartmental confrontation.

Igoshin proposed changing the procedure for determining the fixed amount of the insurance contribution of compulsory pension insurance for an individual entrepreneur who does not make payments to individuals.

He proposed limiting the period of temporary stay in Russia for foreigners who visited the Russian Federation in a visa-free regime to 90 days out of every 180-day period.
It is proposed to license management activities in apartment buildings.

As a member of the Duma Committee on Economics, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Igoshin oversees the work of several expert councils, in particular:

on the development of social entrepreneurship;
on innovative development;
on the functioning of the international financial center;
on affordable housing issues;
on issues of legislative regulation of government procurement and procurement carried out by certain types of legal entities;
on organizing the development of the investment regime between Russia and the Iberian countries;
on issues of import substitution.

Accusation of plagiarism

In 2013, some bloggers expressed suspicions that elements of plagiarism were noticed in the Ph.D. dissertation that Igoshin defended in 2004. In particular, coincidences with the dissertation that Natalya Orlova defended two years earlier were noted.

Igoshin rejected all accusations of plagiarism. He considers them timed to coincide with the consideration in the State Duma of a bill concerning changes to the contract system. The document provided for the regulation of government procurement procedures, which were estimated at several trillion rubles.

Attempts to put various pressures on members of the working group developing this law, headed by Igoshin, were quite significant, including threats.

One of the attempts to discredit Igoshin resulted in a plagiarism scandal. The deputy did not intend to justify himself, but invited the accusers to prove their case using the appropriate official procedures. However, no procedures were initiated in this regard.
