Roman Igorevich Putin (Russian: Роман Игоревич Путин; born 10 November 1977) is a Russian politician and businessman. He is the son of businessman Igor Putin who is a first cousin of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Early life and education

Roman Putin's grandfather, Alexander, was the uncle of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.[1] Putin was born in Ryazan, Russia, in 1977.[2][3] He is the son of Igor Putin, a former director of the Master Bank.[4]

Career

In 2012–2013 he was a non-paid adviser to the governor of Novosibirsk Oblast on social and economic issues.[5] In particular, he proposed and supervised an ambitious project to convert a leading truck repair factory into an assembly plant. He was relieved from his duties when the project failed to materialize,[6] which he attributed to a personal vendetta from the governor.[6][7] Putin remains an adviser on similar matters to the governor of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.[8]

Roman Putin is the chairman of Group MRT and co-owner of three other Russian companies: Gazstroiholding, Modernizatsiya Rechnogo Transporta (Modernization of River Transport), and Frantsuzskie Aviatsionnye Technologii (French Aviation Technologies).[3] The second company organizes passenger services on the Moscow River aiming to reduce traffic congestion,[9] while the third one produces autogyros.[10]

Since 2013, Putin has been an independent private investment advisor, providing consultancy for investment projects in Russia. In March 2014, Putin founded his own consulting company named Putin Consulting Ltd.,[11] that helps foreign investors realize their investment projects in Russia.[12]

Politics

Putin announced the creation of the pro-presidential party "People of Business" in 2020.[13] However, by 21 June, he had joined the existing Russia without corruption party and was elected its leader on 5 July in a secret ballot.[14]
