The phrase "woman in politics" has long ceased to cause bewilderment. AT modern world not only great men are concerned about the fate of people, but also emancipated ladies. They believe that the fate of a woman is not only in the birth of children and household chores, and, along with men, they actively participate in their homeland.
Position in society

Her latest author's and co-author's bills and initiatives have caused considerable public outcry. Among them, one can name an active fight against swearing on the net, gay propaganda, family divorces and the adoption of Russian orphans by foreign parents.
She dreamed of becoming a politician since childhood
Mizulina Elena Borisovna was born on December 9, 1954. The birthplace of the famous political figure is the city of Bui, Kostroma Region. The girl developed an interest in politics quite early. Elena Mizulina's father, Boris Mikhailovich Dmitriev, after a shell shock received at the front, led the department of the district committee of the CPSU. The political style of the father in many ways left its mark on the professional character of his daughter. While studying at school, Mizulina dreamed of a career as a diplomat and was preparing to enter MGIMO. However, the dreams were not destined to come true, and by the will of fate in 1972 she became a student at Yaroslavl State University. It was in this educational institution that Elena Borisovna met with her future husband Mikhail Mizulin. In the fourth year of study, a couple of young lawyers were legally married.
The beginning of a political career
Mizulina's career developed quite rapidly. After graduating from the university in 1977, she began working as a laboratory assistant at the Department of Theory and Law in the native walls of the university. In the same year, Elena Borisovna received a position as a consultant to the regional court in the city of Yaroslavl, continuing her correspondence studies at Kazan State University as a graduate student. Some time later, in 1983, her thesis was defended. As a result, Elena Mizulina received a PhD in Law, was promoted and was appointed Senior Consultant.
After working in the Yaroslavl Regional Court for 8 years, she moved to serve as an assistant at the State Pedagogical Institute named after K. D. Ushinsky in the same city. Already in 1987, Mizulina began to lead the department of national history. She held this position until 1990, being a member of the CPSU.
Thesis defense and career growth
In 1992, Elena Mizulina defended her doctoral thesis at the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The theme of her work - "Criminal process: the concept of state self-restraint" - aroused great interest among colleagues. In 1995, Mizulina became a professor at the State University of Yaroslavl.
The political career of Elena Borisovna developed quite rapidly. In 1993, she entered the 1st composition of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation from the Russia's Choice bloc. She was a member of the Committee, which considered constitutional legislation, as well as judicial and legal issues, as deputy chairman. Mizulina also joined the Commission on Rules and Procedures of the Parliament.
Changes in political career
In 1995, Mizulina joined the Yabloko faction and the Reforms - New Course movement. In the same year, she was elected head of the regional public organization "Equilibrium" in the city of Yaroslavl.
Since December 1995, Elena Mizulina has been a deputy of the 2nd convocation from the Yabloko faction, representing the interests of the Kirov District. In connection with these circumstances, she had to refuse membership in the Federation Council. As part of the State Duma of the 2nd convocation, she began to chair the Committee on Legislation and Reforms in the Judicial-Legal Sphere. She also served on the subcommittee dealing with issues of state building, as well as the constitutional rights of citizens in the position of deputy chairman. In 1999, Mizulina was involved in organizing the impeachment against Yeltsin as a legal consultant.
In December 1999, she again became a deputy of the State Duma of the 3rd convocation from the Yabloko party. July 2000 was a new stage in Mizulina's political career. She became the head of the Yaroslavl Union of Democratic Forces. This coalition included members of the Yabloko party and the Union of Right Forces.
Departure from the "Apple"
In early 2001, Elena Mizulina made an official statement that she was leaving Yabloko. The deputy motivated her actions by personal discomfort over the fact that the party in which she is a member is gaining no more than five percent of the vote in the elections. Former colleagues at Yabloko rated her act as a race for political trends.
A new round in a political career
In June 2001, Elena Borisovna joined the Union of Right Forces. In February 2004, her party was defeated in the elections, and Mizulina received a new appointment - a representative of the State Duma in the Constitutional Court. In this position, in 2005, she insisted on the abolition of the procedure for direct gubernatorial elections that existed in the Russian Federation. Elena Borisovna combined her position in the Constitutional Court with the position of acting deputy head of the department of the State Duma apparatus. The eventful year 2005 was also marked for Mizulina by a successful ending Russian Academy public service, founded under the President of the Russian Federation.
Membership in A Just Russia
Two years later, in 2007, State Duma deputy Elena Mizulina was elected a member of the political organization A Just Russia. January 2008 was designated for Elena Borisovna a new position - in the State Duma Committee on Family Affairs, Women and Children as chairman. Her candidacy was put forward as an alternative to Svetlana Goryacheva. The United Russia party expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed candidacy. Then Elena Borisovna was approved for this position.
In 2011, Elena Mizulina was once again elected to the State Duma, being a member of the Just Russia party. She became the head of the State Duma Committee in the field of family.
In October 2013, at the next meeting of A Just Russia, Mizulina announced that she was refusing membership in the Central Council of the party.
Well-known political scientist Alexander Kynev noted that by her actions Elena Borisovna undermines the image of the party in the eyes of city voters.
Her famous bills
One of the most famous projects in the development of which Elena Mizulina was directly involved was the federal law No. 139-F3. It was adopted on July 28, 2012. It has been trivially referred to in public circles as the "blacklist law" and "Internet censorship law". Elena Borisovna is also directly related to another project, which is often confused with the above. This is a project “On the protection of children from information that is harmful to their health and development.”
Elena Mizulina, a member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, publicly stated in July 2012 that it was necessary to check whether the strike of the Russian Wikipedia against the positions of the bill No. 139-Ф3 was a “pedophile lobby”. This phrase becomes a persistent expression and is calling card political women. Some public figures and journalists claim that Elena Borisovna rewards all persons who are personally objectionable to her with this label.
In November 2012, she made a public conclusion: the 139-F3 project had achieved its preventive goal. With the help of it, a safe was organized. Also, Elena Mizulina banned at the state level the viewing of sites with links to Internet pages from the register of prohibited ones. One of the portals that opposed the "black list" position was rublacklist.net. The founders of this site was the Pirate Party of Russia.
A year later, Elena Mizulina proposed to make part of the preamble to the Constitution of the Russian Federation the phrase that for Russia Orthodoxy is the basis of cultural and national identity. However, this proposal was rejected. The refusal is motivated by the fact that constitutionally the Russian Federation is proclaimed a secular state.
Attitudes towards the issue of abortion
Yelena Mizulina came out with a demand to limit free abortions. She proposes to allow a woman to perform a free artificial termination of pregnancy only for serious medical reasons or as a result of rape.
Under other circumstances, abortions should be paid. The following items were also proposed to be included in the bill:
- A ban on abortions in private clinics.
- Sale of medical drugs that provoke abortion, only by prescription.
- Mandatory consent of the spouse to an abortion if the woman is married.
- The indispensable permission of the parents to terminate the pregnancy of a girl who has not reached the age of majority.
Another interesting bill on the topic of abortion was proposed by Elena Mizulina. The State Duma considered an amendment to the Code of Administrative Offenses on a fine imposed on a medical institution that does not provide a woman with time to think before performing appropriate medical procedures. The amount of this monetary compensation was proposed in the form of 1 million rubles. Mizulina pointed out that it is worth levying a fine on the women themselves, who ignore the doctor's suggestion that they have the opportunity to reconsider their decision to have an abortion. The fine for them is 3000-5000 rubles.
Family and marriage bills
Elena Borisovna speaks quite harshly about the adoption of orphans from Russia by American parents. She noted that our state has never protected its interests at the expense of children.
Later, Elena Mizulina proposed that such American guardianship be banned at the level of law. In June 2013, the politician presented a project called "Concepts of the state family policy until 2025". It contains the following provisions:
- Introduction of additional tax for divorcing families.
- Birth condemnation
- Additional restrictions on abortion.
- Strong condemnation of homosexuality.
- A proposal to strengthen the role of the church in the discussion and adoption of family laws.
- To increase the number of families where many generations of people live.
- Promotion of large families.
- A fixed amount of alimony, regardless of whether the parent has a source of income.
This bill was intended to strengthen the institution of the family in the Russian Federation.
Her Opinion on LGBT
Mizulina is known in political and public circles as an ardent opponent of same-sex marriage and is of the opinion that the phrase "Gays are people too" contains a hidden extremist meaning. She advocates for the removal of children from same-sex families.
However, in 2013, the famous publicist wrote in his article that the son of Elena Mizulina, who lives in Belgium, works in a fairly large law firm, Mayer Brown. This firm actively advocates for LGBT rights. The sharp difference in views on the issue of homosexuality between mother and son was ironically noted. In response to this sarcasm, Mizulina announced Koch as a representative of the notorious "pedophile lobby".
Does society need surrogacy?
In November 2013, Mizulina spoke out about the need to ban surrogate motherhood at the state level, considering it an unnatural phenomenon. To everything, Elena Borisovna added that it is necessary in every possible way to form a negative attitude in society towards this method of the birth of a child.
Quite often, Mizulina is criticized. Evil tongues are ironic about her active initiatives, and political scientists accuse her of overly frank intrusion into the privacy of citizens and influencing the freedom of choice of people. Perhaps, in the bills of Elena Borisovna, a certain excess is visible, but it is impossible to accuse this woman of indifference to the life of her people.
There are many outstanding personalities in the Russian political arena. Sometimes their image, statements and slogans become even more famous than the authors themselves.
Elena Mizulina managed to achieve considerable heights in her life: Doctor of Law, State Duma deputy, member Legislative Assembly, as well as chairman of the committee on family, women and children. But a wide audience of Russians knows her as the author of a number of scandalous laws that caused a different assessment from society, up to frankly negative.
Biography
Mizulina Elena Borisovna was born on December 9, 1954 in the small town of Bue, Kostroma Region. Father was an active member of the CPSU and after the Great Patriotic War even headed the party department in the city of Bue. Perhaps it was the ideals and views that reigned in the house that influenced the upbringing of the girl. Since childhood, Elena has already striven to realize her ambitious plans, and even at school she prepared herself for a career as a diplomat.
However, by the will of fate, she ended up at the Faculty of Law of Yaroslavl State University. It was there, on her own course, that Elena Mizulina met her future husband, and soon the lovers signed.
Even during her studies, the girl showed herself to be an outstanding personality, she was a leader in the group. And at the end of her studies, she was able to enter Kazan University in the correspondence department. At the same time, she worked first as a laboratory assistant at the department of her own institute, and later as a consultant in the regional Yaroslavl court. Based on the materials of her observations and scientific experiments, Mizulina defended her dissertation in 1983.
Scientific activity
The young specialist increasingly began to show a strong character, but at the end of the 80s she still did not think about a political career, although she remained an exemplary member of the CPSU until 1991.
Elena Mizulina in these last years Before perestroika, she was actively engaged in scientific activities. Her husband at that time was a prominent figure in the party, was a member of the regional committee and was responsible for ideological issues, therefore, for his wife, he easily managed to "knock out" the position of a senior researcher at the Yaroslavl State Pedagogical Institute. Elena Borisovna did not stop halfway here either, and for three years she headed the Department of History.
She did not abandon her scientific activity either, so in 1992 Mizulina defended another dissertation, which, according to her colleagues, made a great impression at the Institute of State and Law and became a real discovery in the scientific world.
Start of political activity
But the difficult 90s were already coming, the history of Russia of this period is directly connected with politics and only with it. The new reality left no one indifferent, and such an activist as Elena Borisovna Mizulina, due to her character and mental orientation, simply could not be caught up in this whirlwind of the fierce struggle between the old and the new world.
As in everything, in politics, the future deputy continued to move only towards success. And I tried to use everything for this possible options. Elena Mizulina is one of the few people in Russian politics who is difficult to rank with any certain party with complete certainty. There was an opinion about her as a defector from one group to another, and indeed in 20 years she managed to change more than one party.
And Mizulina started as a member of the CPSU, besides, her husband was an active member there. The acquired connections through the party line once again helped Elena Borisovna climb the career ladder, this time to the Federation Council. Her candidacy was approved by all residents of the Yaroslavl region, and Mizulina became deputy chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation and Judicial Legal Issues.
"Apple"
In 1995, there is a sharp turn in her life. Understanding the futility of the Communist Party during this period, Mizulina adjoins the party of absolutely left-wing views - Yabloko, which at that time was already represented in the State Duma by its own faction.
Perhaps such a drastic change was associated with a change in life and political views, but, according to observers, this is just another convenient way to get into power. Elena Mizulina, whose biography will continue to contain such actions, has shown that she is striving not to affirm someone else's ideals, but to formulate her own.
Being a member of this party, in 1995 she became a deputy of the State Duma of the II convocation. Already at this time, Mizulina begins to make sometimes very radical appeals. So, she was one of those who wanted to arrange an impeachment procedure for President Boris Yeltsin, dealt with legal issues, the materials of the commission's conclusion totaled more than 40 volumes.
In addition to legislative activities, Elena Mizulina has been a member of the OSCE Human Rights Committee since 1994. She repeatedly participates in all meetings and campaigns of Yabloko. And in 1999 she was again elected to the State Duma of the III convocation from the same party. However, the ambitions of State Duma deputy Elena Mizulina went beyond the not very popular center-left party, and two years later Elena Borisovna announced her decision not to confirm her membership in Yabloko, later saying that she was ashamed to be a member of a party that is gaining a small percentage in the elections. Her former associates reacted to this by calling Mizulina an adherent of fashion trends.
"Union of Right Forces" and "Fair Russia"
She decided to continue her career in the young liberal party "Union of Right Forces", among the founders of which were Boris Nemtsov, Irina Khakamada and Sergei Kiriyenko. But the Union of Right Forces failed to overcome the required threshold of votes, they failed in the elections, which did not prevent Mizulina from receiving an invitation to work in the Constitutional Court. In this position, she is remembered for her challenging the legality of the abolition of direct elections for regional governors. In 2005, Elena Borisovna completed her studies at the Russian Academy of Public Administration under the President of Russia.
The next party, which became native for Mizulina, was A Just Russia. The elections turned out to be more or less successful for "SR". And again, Elena Mizulina is a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
A landmark event was the nomination of her candidacy for the post of chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children. This work becomes her life's work, and much of her entire legislative activity is connected precisely with this area of social problems.
Legislative activity
Deputy Elena Mizulina and her work in the State Duma received a mixed assessment among colleagues and in the rest of Russian society. Many refer to her demeanor as a personal PR tool to advance their political careers. Indeed, its decisions and appeals are sometimes quite radical.
The general public started talking about it in 2012, when the Duma adopted a series of regulations: “On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development,” the so-called Internet censorship law. Elena Mizulina took an active part in the development of ideas and their further promotion. The bills gave the law enforcement authorities the right to block and close sites with questionable content without trial.
This initiative was harshly received by human rights activists and active Internet users. Someone considered it a tool to fight objectionable people and organizations, some accused the well-known deputy of infringing on freedom of speech, to which Elena Mizulina reacted ambiguously, declaring these defenders accomplices of pedophilia.
Often she spoke negatively about surrogate motherhood, and although she did not insist on the adoption of a banning law, she argued that propaganda of this method of procreation in Russia was not needed.
In her position as chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Elena Mizulina proposed to tighten the rules for abortions for medical institutions. In particular, she sought to exclude this service from the insurance policy, and for violators - mandatory fines. The bill has not yet been passed.
In 2012, Mizulina advocated a ban on adoption for American citizens, and the law was later approved. And in 2016, the government supported the initiative of Elena Borisovna to close all baby boxes in the country. The main argument of the deputy was the assumption that this service would only provoke negligent mothers to leave their children to the mercy of fate.
Even more discussion was caused by one of her latest projects on the replacement of criminal punishment for domestic beatings. administrative fine. A real war broke out on the Internet against innovations, the deputy was accused of officially calling to beat women.
public position
As mentioned above, for Mizulina, the priority was not the calls and slogans of her party, but her own opinion. Therefore, her words and actions more than once caused discontent among colleagues in the State Duma. But that never stopped her from continuing to speak her mind openly.
Everyone knows the attitude of State Duma deputy Elena Mizulina to family and marriage issues. She zealously fights for the purity and high morality of human relations. She completely denies the practice of surrogate motherhood, prohibits abortions, calls for the birth of three or more children in a family, introduces a tax on divorce, all her ideas were recorded in the draft “Concepts of State Family Policy until 2025”.
Mizulina is known for her active struggle against homosexual propaganda in Russia. She is the author of a number of bills prohibiting such families from raising children, even relatives. From the podium and from the TV screens, Elena Borisovna often speaks with direct claims and insults against the LGBT community.
One of Mizulina's most striking statements is the accusation of some political figures opposing her of belonging to the "pedophile lobby"
Scandals
Such is the State Duma deputy Elena Mizulina: her work, public position and personal life have long been obligingly submitted by the media to public court. There are not many women politicians in Russia, and even fewer who are so often at the center of scandals.
All her initiatives often border on radical measures and cause a wave of public discontent. So, after the adoption of the bill on censorship on the Internet, a number of Russian sites (including Wikipedia) went on strike, against which Mizulina spoke succinctly, calling the project leaders adherents of the "pedophile lobby".
In 2013, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation considered the appeal of Elena Mizulina on charges of a number of people supporting the LGBT community in Russia, who, according to the deputy, publicly insulted her. In the same year, she and members of her delegation were attacked by advocates of sexual minorities, although the latter did not acknowledge this fact.
Criticism
Mizulina is criticized for almost unlawful interference in the privacy of citizens, political scientists note the subjectivity of her statements: what she does not like does not suit the state. And categorically deny its initiatives and abroad. Elena Borisovna has repeatedly become the object of harsh criticism from foreign journalists and cultural figures. Thus, the English choreographer Ben Wright refused to cooperate with the Russian side precisely because of the deputy’s homophobic statements, and even called on the sports community to boycott the Sochi 2016 Olympics.
During her political career in 2014, Elena Mizulina becomes one of those who were sanctioned by the US and European governments. Later, Switzerland, Canada and Australia joined the countries prohibiting entry into their territory.
Elena Mizulina, whose photos on the Web are often subjected to satirical processing, ridiculing collages are created, is completely calm about all this activity around her. It can even be said that public opinion has absolutely no influence on its political decision-making.
Personal life
Her husband, Mikhail Yuryevich, was with his wife all his life, it was he who actively helped her at the very beginning of her political activity. He dedicated himself scientific work and became a candidate of philosophical sciences and an associate professor at the Department of Political Science, RANEPA.
The son of Elena Mizulina also built a successful career. After graduating from MGIMO, he left for Europe and now works as a lawyer in a well-known firm. At one time, the media published information about her son's belonging to LGBT defenders, which led to indignation of journalists, because Mizulina herself is an ardent supporter of any gay propaganda. Her daughter also does not follow the precepts of her mother and has long been living alone, without children.
A well-known hobby of the scandalous deputy is the breeding of exotic cats, more than 20 years ago, a scandal was associated with this fact, when an aspiring politician demanded an increase in her own living space for a more comfortable stay for pets.
It is very difficult to evaluate the activities of such an amazing character as Elena Mizulina. Some of her initiatives are very controversial, much of her manner of submitting bills is similar to communist methods, is subjective. However, the main messages are not without meaning and call for the protection of the rights of women and children.

Elena Mizulina from 1995 to 2015 was a member of four convocations of the State Duma, since September 2015 she represents the Omsk region in the Federation Council. According to data on the website of the State Duma, she was the initiator of the adoption of 142 bills, the first of which was submitted to the lower house of parliament on June 18, 1996, and the last on November 14, 2016.
Until 2001, Mizulina was a member of the Yabloko party, until 2003 - the Union of Right Forces, in 2007 she joined A Just Russia. Mizulina's most striking and conservative proposals came at the time of the last, sixth convocation. During this time, Mizulina signed ten bills, which eventually became laws. Many of the initiatives of Mizulina and the committee on family, women and children, which she headed, provoked violent protests from part of the public.
Register of banned sites
In July 2012, a law was passed restricting children's access to illegal information on the Internet, for the implementation of which a register of prohibited sites was created. Mizulina was one of the authors of the project. According to the law, Roskomnadzor received the right to block pages and sites containing materials with pornographic images of minors, information about methods of committing suicide, places of purchase and methods of manufacturing and using drugs. The main criticism of the bill was caused by giving regulators ample opportunity to block content on the Internet.
“I personally think that Wikipedia is a cover, like terrorists. They always, like a human shield, hide behind children or women. This is a cover, since Wikipedia itself is unlikely to be in danger. I use Wikipedia. And, pay attention, only the Russian-language version is closed. Therefore, this is an attempt to blackmail Russian parliamentarians. There is a lobby behind them, and there are very high suspicions that this is a pedophile lobby.” Elena Mizulina, July 2012.
Insulting the feelings of believers
In June 2013, Mizulina's proposed law "On Insulting the Feelings of Believers" was adopted, which introduced criminal liability for insulting the religious feelings of believers - up to three years in prison.

Illegal abortions
Mizulina advocated restricting women's rights to abortion. In 2013, she became one of the initiators of the adopted law, which introduced administrative liability for medical workers for carrying out illegal abortions. Among the latest proposals by Mizulina on the issue of abortions are their licensing, a ban on the free circulation of medicines for abortion, permission to conduct abortions only in state medical institutions and removing abortions from the CHI system and private clinics.
“We ourselves checked more than once: you call the clinic, you say: “you need to have an abortion at the 15th week without medical indications.” In response - "come, the price is such and such." Elena Mizulina, September 2013
Decriminalization of family beatings
Mizulina was one of the initiators of the decriminalization of family beatings. On January 11, the State Duma approved in the first reading a bill that transfers beatings against close relatives from the category of criminal offenses to administrative offenses in cases where such an offense was committed for the first time. Today, beatings committed outside the family and not causing serious bodily harm are punished as an administrative offense, and in relation to “relatives” - immediately under the Criminal Code (Article 116) and up to two years in prison. According to Mizulina, according to adopted law, the actions of relatives who applied “light educational measures in the form of a slap to the child” are “more socially dangerous than the behavior of an outsider who beat him on the street.”
“Since a criminal case can now be initiated for any reason - an abrasion, a bruise on a child will be a good reason to come to the family with a check and even initiate a criminal case against the parents. All this will result in unpredictable law enforcement practices related to the unjustified removal of children from the family. This will cause irreparable damage to family relationships. Elena Mizulina, June 2016.
Baby box ban
In June 2016, Mizulina proposed to ban the creation of baby boxes for the anonymous abandonment of children and to punish with a fine of up to 5 million rubles. for violating this rule. The bill was rejected by the government because "the suspension of legal entity may lead to the inability of citizens to receive medical care, as well as social and educational services for orphans and children left without parental care.
