Ekho Moskvy radio station, Ogonyok magazine and Interfax agency for the third time present the rating of "100 most influential women in Russia"
Launched in 2012, our project has become a discussed media event. Every year, the rating list includes women who influence the political and economic life of the country, develop business projects, as well as trendsetters and public tastes.
A place in the rating is assessed by well-known politicians, officials, political scientists and journalists on a 20-point scale. Each member of the expert jury, choosing a rating position for a particular woman, was guided by his own ideas and delivered a verdict on condition of anonymity. Subsequently, the scores were adjusted according to the "equal contribution" method: this is due to the fact that some experts used the entire range of scores (from 1 to 20), while others limited it (for example, they gave scores from 6 to 12 or from 10 to 16), and a simple calculation of the amount could lead to distortions.
This year, Alina Kabaeva and Tatyana Golikova again got into the top 10, who were already leaders in 2012, but in 2013 they lost several points. Olga Dergunova, deputy head of the Ministry of Economic Development, head of the Federal Property Management Agency, has taken the leading positions: in 2012 she was only 39th in the influence rating, last year she was 13th, and now she is 9th.
The rating participants, whose public activity is associated with the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, are losing positions this year: Svetlana Medvedeva is now only 16th, the press secretary of the Prime Minister Natalya Timakova has moved from 3rd to 7th.
Svetlana Mironyuk, ex-editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti, and Ella Pamfilova, who has been nominated for the post of Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, have made the most noticeable changes in positions. If the first one dropped by 65 lines at once (from 10th to 75th), then the second, on the contrary, soared just as rapidly - from 87th to 12th. These fluctuations once again remind us how much a person's position determines in matters of personal influence. It is therefore predictable that ex-Minister of Agriculture Elena Skrynnik and Yevgenia Vasilyeva, ex-head of the department of property relations of the Ministry of Defense, having lost their posts and become defendants in corruption scandals, left the rating altogether.
Many media personalities this year also found themselves in the shadows. For example, TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak dropped from 14th to 22nd, and singer Zemfira from 38th to 60th. But the political career was a success for several women at once. Governor of the Murmansk region Marina Kovtun (from 73rd position up to 55th) and Deputy Defense Minister Tatyana Shevtsova are going uphill: she is already 49th, and was only 77th.
Finally, new faces appeared in the ranking. This time there are not so many of them (in 2012 there were 15 rookie heroines), but they are undoubtedly familiar to everyone: Ksenia Yudaeva, the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, took 30th place, and Maria Alekhina, a member of the punk band Pussy Riot, turned out to be in the 90th position.
1. (1) Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation
"There has been such an alienation in the families of parents and children. Parents began to communicate less with children, and therefore children go to computer games and so on. The trust of parents and children is lost. The child must trust the parent. He must tell about everything that worries him. And parents are not always ready to listen to this" (February 2014, "Echo of Moscow").
2. (4) Elvira Nabiullina, Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation
“Now I have been working for seven months (at the Central Bank.— "O"), I don't feel any political pressure yet. What would I do if I felt it? Probably, I would convince that the decisions that I make are necessary for the economy to develop accordingly" (January 2014, Channel One, Pozner program).
3. (12) Tatyana Golikova, Chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation
“I worked at the Ministry of Finance for 18 years. But when I came to the Ministry of Health and Social Development, the first thing I said to my colleagues was that it would be very useful to work at least for a while in a sectoral ministry, because life there is completely different. Maybe I had one of the most difficult sectoral ministries, but I have acquired such a wealth of knowledge that I would not have acquired while working in the Ministry of Finance" (December 2013, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta").
4. (2) Olga Golodets, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
"There are discussions, and very heated ones. Everyone firmly defends the positions of their bloc. But an unshakable rule for any team: when a decision is made, no one has the right to dispute it and everyone must execute it clearly and distinctly. This is the corporate culture. At the same time "Of course, we often return to some theses. Sometimes we rethink the actions that have already been taken. We have a lot of disputes, especially with the economic and financial blocks" (February 2014, Ogonyok).
5. (6) Larisa Brycheva, Assistant to the President, Head of the State Legal Department of the Russian Federation
"Unfortunately, since our legislator is hurried, works irregularly - sometimes more laws are adopted in the last month of a session than in the entire session - this leads to numerous errors, including both linguistic and textual ones, I already leave mistakes aside of a legal or semantic order. Such things are extremely distressing" (February 2014, RAPSI).
6. (5) Alla Pugacheva, singer, People's Artist of the USSR
“You see, career is a great word. It has some kind of stamp, a touch of something primitive, but in fact, career is great. Career is the way to the hearts of people, this is the way to such a light where you will be noticed. Then a career is still, albeit difficult, but some kind of material well-being, when you can make a choice: whether you work or not. admitted" (September 2013, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta").
7. (3) Natalya Timakova, Press Secretary of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
“The political position has begun to replace the profession. I really don’t like it. I think it’s wrong when, in order to make it a little pleasant for us, let’s close our eyes to this fact, pretend that in an interview a person said only this , but didn’t say this, let’s pull up this quote, and hide that one. If I were in the position of the journalistic community, I would be very attentive to this very thing "(March 2013, Radio Voice of Russia").
8. (23) Alina Kabaeva, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation
“At the 2008 Olympics, I was supposed to represent the Republic of Tatarstan in the Russian national team, but it didn’t work out. In the same year, I was offered to become a State Duma deputy from the region. Many people asked why I went there. But I was interested, I wanted to try” (June 2013 of the year, the magazine "Big Sport").
9. (13) Olga Dergunova, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Head of the Federal Property Management Agency
"When you have very few resources in the organization and a lot of tasks that you methodically need to cover, you have to be very practical and rational. I really want to create a public council and control someone, but first we need to get out of the coordinate system where there is no the basic principles of management are described" (December 2013, ITAR-TASS).
10. (7) Olga Egorova, Chairman of the Moscow City Court
“Previously, for example, I could easily, without even thinking, get on the subway and go where I need to. Or get behind the wheel myself and go where I want. But recently I went into the subway with Galina Alexandrovna (deputy chairman of the Moscow City Court Galina Agafonova .— "b"), we then gathered at the theater. Only four stops, so everywhere they call me: "Egorova, is that you?" Even when we came to the theater and then asked: “Olga Alexandrovna, do you also go to the theater?” (January 2013, Kommersant)

Moscow. January 23. INTERFAX.RU - Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, singer Alla Pugacheva and press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Natalya Timakova made up the first "troika" of hundreds of the most influential women in Russia.
The top ten of the list also includes: the president's wife - Svetlana Medvedeva - the fourth, the fifth - the Minister of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina. Right behind her - in sixth place is another representative of the Russian government - Minister of Health and Social Development Tatyana Golikova.
TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak takes seventh place. Behind her is Olga Yegorova, chairman of the Moscow City Court, and gymnast Alina Kabaeva.
The top ten is closed by the chairman of the Moscow Helsinki Group, Lyudmila Alekseeva.
The leader of the rating, Valentina Matvienko, believes that "the most influential woman, like the most influential man, is a person whose ideas, actions, activities lead to visible changes in the life of society, in the life of the country." “And it doesn’t matter in what area. In politics, in business, in culture, in the social sphere. It is important that people see the results and evaluate them properly,” the speaker of the Federation Council said on the air of the Ekho Moskvy radio station.
In her opinion, in order to be influential, you need to have certain qualities: the quality of a leader, efficiency, publicity.
"I have always advocated such a state public policy that would allow women to harmoniously combine maternal and family responsibilities with participation in various spheres of life," V. Matvienko noted.
There are many women politicians and social activists in the first half of the hundred: State Duma deputy from A Just Russia Oksana Dmitrieva (15), head of the Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers Valentina Melnikova (22), Evgenia Chirikova (31), leader of the Khimki Forest Defense movement, journalists: editor-in-chief of The New Times Evgenia Albats (21), REN-TV host Marianna Maksimovskaya (23), Svetlana Sorokina (50), Tina Kandelaki (28), Olga Romanova (43), and cultural figures: actress and co-founder Charitable Foundation Chulpan Khamatova, singer Zemfira (26), Galina Volchek (40), Maya Plisetskaya (41) and Galina Vishnevskaya (44). She was followed by the director of the Garage center, Daria Zhukova.
The former owner of Inteko, the wife of the ex-mayor of the capital, Elena Baturina, was on the 55th line of the rating.
Former intelligence officer and now TV presenter Anna Chapman came in 90th place, following the well-known observer of social life Bozena Rynska.
The list also includes current athletes: tennis player Maria Sharapova (70), pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva (74) and Russian volleyball leader Ekaterina Gamova (92).
The list of the most influential women in Russia has not been compiled before. Therefore, before starting to compile the rating, several programs were broadcast on the Ekho Moskvy radio station about what the concept of influence includes. Both listeners and political scientists and sociologists took part in the conversation. As a result, the list also includes those women who really influence decision-making in politics or business, holding high positions. And those who determine the mindset and are an example to follow. In addition, it was decided not to separate those who are influential due to position and, say, the wives of influential men. All of them were in the same ranking.
The list was compiled in several stages. The listeners of Ekho Moskvy sent their suggestions on who should get into the rating of the most influential women. The journalists of the radio station selected 150 out of more than 250 names. Then the expert group began to work with the rating: the list was evaluated on a 20-point system. Each of the experts was guided by his own idea of the influence of a particular woman. All ratings were made on condition of anonymity. As a result, a hundred of the most influential women in Russia were formed.
This indicator will be displayed separately next to each surname. Thus, one can compare the degree of influence of a woman with the mention of each of them in the Russian media. At the same time, the citation index compiled by Interfax may not coincide with the rating. So the head of the Moscow Art Group L. Alekseeva (10) has a citation rating of 3912, which is higher than that of Alina Kabaeva - 833 and Ksenia Sobchak - 3483
Every year, the authoritative publication Forbes publishes a ranking of the most influential women in the world. In 2017, the list includes women who have achieved success through tremendous work and tremendous perseverance. Be sure that after reading this article, you will seriously think about whether the weaker sex is really so weak.
10. Virginia Rometty
The success story of this influential woman proved that not only men are able to manage large corporations and skillfully build a business strategy. Virginia Rometty became the first female head of IBM. It is worth noting that until this moment this post was occupied exclusively by men. Today, Rometty is one of the most successful top managers in the world.
9. Ana Patricia Botin
Ana Botin is the most powerful woman in Spain. As a fifth generation banker, she has devoted almost 25 years to banking. On account of its expansion of the group of commercial banks in Latin America, numerous acquisitions, as well as the reformation of investment programs. Ana Patricia Botin is the director of the Spanish company Banesto, as well as the main Executive and International Committees.
8. Christine Lagarde
The professional path of Christine Lagarde is very multi-stage. Throughout her life, she has changed about a dozen positions, most of which are ministerial. Previously, she was a member of various political parties of a liberal-conservative orientation, and was also a member of the Union for a Popular Movement. The main achievement, which determined the place of Lagarde in the Forbes list, is that she became the first woman to hold the post of G8 finance minister, and now also the head of the IMF.
7. Abigail Johnson
Abigail Johnson, since 2006, has been consistently ranked among the most influential and successful women according to Forbes magazine. Her father, Edward Johnson, CEO of Fidelity Investments, helped to achieve this in many ways. His daughter is its vice president, and is also considered the sole heir to this family business. According to rough estimates, the fortune of Abigail Johnson is estimated at $ 13 billion.
6. Susan Wojcicki
"Nothing is impossible in this world." This is exactly what the life credo of this strong and successful woman sounds like. For a long time, Wojcicki was vice president of advertising at Google. And then, when a competitor to You Tube appeared on the horizon, Susan decided to buy it out rather than fight it. So YouTube got a new boss.
5. Mary Barra
Mary Barra is the first woman to hold the post of General Director of the largest automobile concern General Motors. Her appointment to this position was a historic moment for the company, because GM is a symbol of conservative America, with men in traditional formal suits. Many saw a challenge in the fact that the post of general director was taken by an electrical engineer, and not an automotive engineer, as it should be.
4 Sheryl Sandberg
Sheryl Sandberg is one of those women of authority who are said to be "self-made". She was a simple student from an ordinary average family. Cheryl is now VP of Sales and Operations at Google. In addition, she is an ardent fighter for women's rights.
3 Melinda Gates
No wonder they say that behind every successful man is a wise woman. A vivid confirmation of this theory is the story of Bill Gates and his wife Melinda. At the time of their acquaintance, she was not one of those girls who were eagerly looking for a billionaire, because by that time Melinda herself was a very wealthy businesswoman. Now the couple live happily in Washington, DC, in a huge mansion worth several billion dollars.
2. Theresa May
The new Prime Minister of Great Britain, who replaced Cameron in her post, Theresa May, from the very first days in her new position, showed everyone her vision of conservatism. It is not for nothing that the status of the “lead lady” has been assigned to her, which is fully justified by her policy - flexible, but very tough.
1. Angela Merkel
According to Forbes, Merkel is the most powerful female politician in the last three years. During her tenure as Chancellor of Germany, she did a lot to improve the country's domestic and foreign policy. Sometimes Angela Merkel is called the "Teutonic Margaret Thatcher".
Today, more and more women occupy important positions in various spheres of society: in politics, economics, and entrepreneurship. The very fact that a woman has equal rights with a man and her opinions and decisions are taken into account with the same measure of seriousness speaks of a big step towards a civilized liberal society.
