Margelov Vitaly Vasilyevich - recognized authority of the Soviet and Russian state security, public and political figure.
The only way
The future intelligence officer was born in the city of Perm in 1941year The son of the commander of the Airborne Forces, Vitaly Margelov, whose biography began almost normally, graduated from school with a gold medal, entered the Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov in Moscow in 1958. He lived in a dormitory, didn’t trump his father’s name, and was respected among his peers. During his studies, he commanded a student operative detachment of police assistance in maintaining public safety. Popular movement at the time. At this work, the future intelligence officer proved to be a courageous and dedicated leader. Vitaly Margelov disregarded danger, was brave and resourceful. The commander of the operational detachment was written in national newspapers. Before distribution, it was proposed to work in the bodies. His father, Vasily Filippovich, approved his son’s desire to work in the KGB.
In the service of the Motherland
The years have gone to professional development,numerous special business trips. Our hero completely devoted himself to work, skillfully supervised subordinates. Vitaly Margelov reached the top, becoming the second person in the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation. Government and departmental awards are a clear confirmation of this.
In 2003 he retired with the rank of colonel-general.Vitaly Vasilyevich became a deputy of the State Duma, performed difficult work in the commissions for security, budget expenditures and the investigation of the Beslan massacre.
He raised acute, topical questions about the protection of the rights of servicemen in the reserve and family members.
Protect retirees of the Ministry of Defensenot easy, the measures do not get the proper response. The media cautiously pushes the discussion of pensions to the periphery of collective opinion. Cases of retirees seem insignificant against the background of state protection issues, and rightly so. But that is impossible to hide.
In defense of military retirees
The plight is no longer possible to hide.It will be good luck to force the leadership to recognize the military’s underpayment of the reserve, then a refund mechanism should be worked out. The government first repays foreign debts, but ignores its own citizens. Another paradox. The majority of military retirees continue to work due to their financial distress. It would be more correct to equalize the types of civil service: civil, military and law enforcement. This is a variant of a comprehensive solution to pension problems.
The state is obliged to repay debts, whateverworth it. People who gave years of life to defending the Motherland did not deserve such an attitude. It is not up to the “sovereign” pensioners to eke out a miserable existence. Their life is not as good as it seems. Here is the main tactical task. This problem Vitaly Margelov considered paramount, developed the law “On foreign intelligence”, where the advice of a state security professional is essential.
Participation in the discussion
The fundamental principles are now residentthere will be only a subject of Russia. The employee travels with a passport of the Russian Federation. In the last edition there was no requirement to ban second citizenship: it was not, therefore it is possible. This gives rise to unnecessary rumors and conjectures. The staff of the NER is not a member of a political party. He fulfills the orders of the leadership. Guarantees: the state is obliged to save the intelligence officer and family members if a failure happens during the performance of special tasks. It is respected. In addition, there is insurance for employees and family members.
Margelov was serious about defense issuesparticipated in the discussion of the law "On Military Service". So, it was proposed to increase by five years the term of the contract of contract. Only surgery V.V. Margelov helped to avoid mistakes and prove the destructiveness of such a decision for the defense of the country. The service life of the officers of the platoon link - the battalion will increase, since the tenure will last for five years.
Without airborne - nowhere
Son Vasily Filippovich know in the landingtroops. Traditionally, he is in contact with the leadership, with the commanders who came after the father. Margelov Vitaly often comes to the Tula, Pskov divisions, visits the Ryazan Airborne School - the electoral district in which he ran. Often comes to the soldiers, officers and cadets. Everywhere one can feel respect for the father - paratrooper No. 1, which does not die away, but only grows. Margelov Vitaly Vasilyevich, whose photos are posted in this article, was captured below in his visit to one of the parts.
Married, four sons. The eldest, Mikhail, a deputy of the State Duma, heads the international committee. Another, Vladimir, devoted himself to the Border Troops.
The life of a pensioner is slow and measured.Vitaly Margelov studied the military past, the further development of the Airborne Forces, the experience of the special services of the world, loved the memoirs of the scouts, walks through the woods, fishing. In 2010, he passed away, before he reached seventy.
