The 50th anniversary is a special date. The half of the century has gone already but the whole life with new plans and interests is ahead. That’s the new start when you have to make a lot.
They say that when the man listens to his desires when his is young, at 30 years old he follows his mind, at 40- his brain and only when he is 50 years old all these features transfers to wisdom.
We want to say some words about Edward. He was born on June 25th in 1970. His father was a military man and the family lived in Gus-Khrustalny town. Thanks to his Dad's job the family lived in different place and moved from one republic to another. He spent the childhood and the youth in Turkmenistan. He was ten when the father took him for a hunting.
From 1987 to 1991 Edward studied in Ryzan military landing college then was selected to the special group of KGB USSR and took part in the dramatic events which happened in our country at that time. At last in 1994 he made the very serious decision and left the Army.
Three years later he leaded the private guarding company “Vympel-A”, and the United companies “Vympel- A” in 2002. The company works in the field of security
About five years from 2003 to 2008 he headed the Regional Community of the veterans from State security Agency “Vympel”. The organization helped all kind of support to the veterans, the families of those who died or wounded.
In 2007 he graduated the Law faculty of the State University “The High School of Economy”.
From 2008 he is the President of the Charity Fund “Vympel”. The main activities of the Fund is the support of Children Houses and kids who need medical care, they also help veterans and their families, takes the active part in the development of Amateur and children sport and others.
From 2006 to 2013 he was the Head of the Russian Association of Hunters and Anglers (RORS). We remember, people said that Edward's intentions were to close the Association. But he took a credit to repair the hotel, belonged to the Association and the unprofitable factory “Saturn”. His enemies said that he did it on purpose to sell it to the Bank. Later they refused from their forecast when saw what he did with the building of the Main Office, finished the establishment process for all legal entities. It was started in 1992 but only Edward could finish it. The central office has got the financial independence. All his actions as the leader of the Association were very thoughtful and aimed to the future.
He has the ability to look ahead and has seen the potential in the project of the Mountain Hunters Club. Not all people believed in the necessity of such Club in Russia. Today the Club meets all requirements for the international clubs and there are about 850 Club members today.
The readers of our magazine could see and not once that Edward always set the ambitious goals and got them. At the end of the last year he became the first world hunter who got 50 species of Capra from the CMH ‘s list. It was the gift which he presented to himself. It’s Ovis turn now!
