Rustam began his career as a simple diagnostic engineer at Selkhoztehnika. After that, I had to work as the chief power engineer, and only in 1983 did the man decide to engage in political activities. His first position in this direction was the position of deputy head of the board of the Sabinsky district. His acumen and talent were quickly noticed, and after the district posts, work on a republican scale began.

Rustam Nurgalievich Minnikhanov was born on March 1, 1957 in the village of Novy Arysh, Rybno-Sloboda district of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Minnikhanov's father, Nurgali, from 1962 to 1990 was the director of the Sabinsky timber industry enterprise, which was often visited by the leaders of the ASSR, including the Minister of Land Reclamation and Water Resources of the Republic, Mintimer Shaimiev.
In 1978, Minnikhanov graduated from the Kazan Agricultural Institute with a degree in agricultural mechanization and for two years was a diagnostic engineer in the Sabinsky district association "Selkhoztekhnika", and from 1980 to 1983 he worked with his father in the timber industry as a senior power engineer. Then, until 1985, Minnikhanov served as deputy chairman of the board of the Sabinsky district consumer society (raipo), and in 1985 he headed the raipo in Arsk.

In May 1998, Minnikhanov was elected to the State Council of Tatarstan, but did not combine this post with the ministerial portfolio for long. In July 1998, Minnikhanov was elected to the post of Prime Minister of Tatarstan, replacing Farid Mukhametshin in this post. The press wrote that republican officials met Minnikhanov with distrust because of his intractability and even put forward an alternative candidate, the mayor of Naberezhnye Chelny, Rafgat Altynbayev, in the elections.

Minnikhanov is due to take over as president of the country on March 25, 2010, after the expiration of Shaimiev's powers.
The press noted that the president of Tatarstan chose a successor who would not go for radical changes in the republic, thanks to which Shaimiev's entourage and the old economic elite would retain influence in the region.
According to income and property information filed in 2009, Minnikhanov's income for 2008 amounted to 6.6 million rubles.

Two years ago, Komosomolskaya Pravda visited the place where the president grew up - in the Sabinsky district. Rustam Minnikhanov's teachers and classmates told stories about him that you won't find in the official chronicle.
A hundred kilometers from Kazan, an hour and a half drive - Rustam Minnikhanov is still often in the Sabinsky district. She visits her mother and younger brother. Their family in the early 60s moved to the Sabinsky forestry, which was headed by his father, Nurgali Midkhatovich. Mom - Vasiga Mubarakovna worked as a teacher in a kindergarten. Although the head of the family was a big boss at that time, the Minnikhanovs always lived modestly and did not spoil their children.
At the age of 10, Rustam was given a chic gift - they bought a camera
Classmate Zofar Safin, whose family now lives in the very house where the President of Tatarstan grew up, told KP that after lessons the village children walked for hours on the street, in winter they went to the skating rink - the local lake. Rustam loved skiing since childhood and "put" all the kids on them. Then they made skis themselves from boards or plywood and rode in the "Carpathians" - this is how the local children called the mountains near the collective farm. And in the fourth grade, parents gave Rustam a gift, chic for those times - they bought a Chaika camera. And since then, two friends have done nothing but take pictures of each other.
They even brought the teachers to the lessons and quietly photographed them, - Zfar Safin admitted. - It happens that the teacher notices, raises her head and threatens with her finger: “Minnikhanov!”. We had nowhere to print pictures, and Rustam and I crawled under the bed and developed the films there.
"RUSTAM WAS ALWAYS READY FOR A LESSON"
In the sixth grade, a new German teacher came to the forestry school - Vladimir Alekseev ich Alekseev, whom everyone here simply calls Alekseich. The house of a foreign teacher is across the street from the house where Rustam Minnikhanov's mother lives.
When he comes to his mother, he always stops and asks: "How are you, Alekseich?" And it makes me feel so warm, ”smiling Vladimir Alekseevich told KP. - I remember their class, it was small, about twenty people. I remember Rustam Minnikhanov well. Not tall, serious such a boy. Teaching was easy for him. You ask him - he always knows the lesson, he will answer.
Many years later, the German teacher found out that his student, already a prime minister, had also mastered English on his own.
Well done! - Vladimir Alekseevich said with teacher's pride. - Before, after all, we didn’t even have players in the lessons: tables, but a textbook, and that’s it. He read German well, translated and wrote well too. And the spoken language was not taught before.
MINNIKHANOV NEVER USED FATHER'S OFFICE CAR
After Rustam Minnikhanov graduated from the eight-year forestry school, he and almost all of his classmates went to study at the Sabinsky secondary school. It was 15 kilometers away, and there was no direct road. In winter, Rustam sometimes skied to school. But more often, children were put into a covered truck early on Monday morning and driven to school for an hour. And although Rustam Minnikhanov's father had a company car - UAZ, he drove along with everyone.
On the way, we often sang - “Ak chechekler kebek kar yava” (“Snow falls like white flowers” - ed.), - said Fania Zakirova, a classmate of Rustam Minnikhanov, who, with the future President, is also in Kindergarten went. - We lived until the weekend in a boarding school. After the lessons, we went to the cinema club to watch - “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”, “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”. And on Saturday, a truck took us back to the forestry. In the boarding school they lived together, did their homework together. And when the cook was sick, the girls cooked food, and the boys went for water.
The old high school building is now a residential building. And a new, large school was built nearby, in which there is a museum. A separate exposition is dedicated to famous countrymen, among whom, of course, the Minnikhanov family. On the shelves are family photos, gifts that former students donated to the museum. All three brothers Rifkat (head of the Tatarstan traffic police, author's note), Rustam (President of Tatarstan) and Rais (head of the Sabinsky district of Tatarstan, author's note) graduated from this school.
Rustam Minnikhanov was sitting at the third desk in the left row. And although he was a year younger than his classmates, he studied easily. All teachers remembered him as a diligent and laconic student. - I didn’t pull my hand, but if you ask, I will answer, - the teachers say.
He was a strong student. I did well in physics and mathematics, - said classmate Zufar Sirazeev. – Rustam was very fond of technology. At the lessons of labor on agricultural machinery, we, the students, did not understand what they were talking about with the teacher, he understood the technique so much.
“WE ALWAYS WERE SURPRISED HOW PARENTS MADE SUCH SONS!”
Once, school principal Nurislam Nasybullin, who taught physics in this class, was shocked when he came to the class - three students were sitting at the desk. 19 children from the forestry did not come to the lesson.
It was in the winter. I went to boarding school. And then the frosts were 30 degrees, - Nurislam Nasybullin told KP. - It turns out that they froze on the way, came to the boarding school and went to bed. I woke everyone up, I say - let's go to school! And Rustam replies: “Well, why can’t we get warm, can’t sleep?”. But all the same, everyone got up and went to the lessons, since the “thunderstorm” came for them (laughs).
But this, teachers say, was rare. Previously, teachers were treated with respect, and they did not allow themselves to argue with their elders.
We didn’t even think that our future president was growing, ”admitted Rafida Mansurovna Minikhanova. The teacher of biology and chemistry has the same last name as the current head of Tatarstan, only it is spelled with one “n”. And when she was often asked: “Isn't she a relative?”, She proudly answered: “No. I taught them." - In biology, he had a five, and in chemistry - 4, I rarely gave five in chemistry to anyone. I was visiting them at home, and I was always surprised how parents raised such three sons. How they helped their mother when she set the table! And at the meeting, I still call my student Rustam, he does not allow us to be official.
In 2013, their class will celebrate the 40th anniversary of graduation. Classmates hope that even though their Rustam has almost no free time now, he will still be able to come to a meeting in Saba.
