Margelov Vitaly Vasilievich - a recognized authority of the Soviet and Russian state security, a public and political figure.

The future intelligence officer was born in the city of Perm in 1941. 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 M. V. Lomonosov in Moscow in 1958. He lived in a hostel, did not trump his father's name, and was respected among his peers. During his studies, he commanded a student task force to assist the police in maintaining public security. Popular movement at the time. In this job, the future intelligence officer showed himself to be a courageous and selfless leader. Vitaly Margelov treated danger with disdain, was bold and resourceful. About the commander of the operational detachment they wrote in the central newspapers. Before the distribution, an offer was received to work in the bodies. Father, Vasily Filippovich, approved his son's desire to work in the KGB.
In the service of the Motherland
Years spent on professional development, numerous special business trips. Our hero devoted himself completely to work, skillfully led his subordinates. Vitaly Margelov reached the top, becoming the secondperson in the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation. Government and departmental awards are a vivid confirmation of this.
In 2003, he retired with the rank of Colonel General. Vitaly Vasilyevich became a deputy of the State Duma, did difficult work in the commissions on security, budget spending and the investigation of the massacre in Beslan.
He raised sharp, burning questions about the protection of the rights of military personnel in the reserve and family members.
Protecting Defense Ministry retirees is not easy, the measures are not getting the proper response. The media are cautiously relegating the discussion of pensions to the periphery of collective opinion. The affairs of the retirees seem insignificant against the background of issues of protecting the state, and rightly so. But what can't be hidden.
In defense of military pensioners
The plight can no longer be hidden. It will be good luck to force the leadership to admit underpayments to the military reserve, then the return mechanism should be developed without failure. The government primarily repays foreign debts, but ignores its own citizens. Another paradox. Most military pensioners continue to work because of their poor financial situation. It would be more correct to equalize the types of public service: civil, military and law enforcement agencies. This is an option for a comprehensive solution to pension problems.
The state must return the debts, no matter what the cost. People who gave years of their lives to defending the Motherland did not deserve such an attitude. Not the case of "sovereign" pensionerslead a miserable existence. Their life is not as prosperous as it seems. Here is the main tactical task. Vitaly Margelov considered this problem of paramount importance, he developed the law "On Foreign Intelligence", where the advice of a state security professional is simply necessary.
Participation in the discussion
Fundamental principles - now only a citizen of Russia will be a resident. An employee goes on a business trip with a Russian passport. In the previous edition, there was no requirement to ban second citizenship: it wasn’t, so it’s possible. This gives rise to unnecessary rumors and speculation. The SVR officer is not a member of political parties. He follows orders from management. Guarantees: the state is obliged to save the scout and family members if there is a failure in the performance of special tasks. This is respected. In addition, there is insurance for employees and family members.
Margelov was serious about defense issues, participated in the discussion of the law "On military service". So, it was proposed to increase the term of the contract servicemen's contract by five years. Only surgical intervention by V. V. Margelov helped to avoid mistakes and prove the perniciousness of such a decision for the defense of the country. The term of service for officers of the platoon-battalion link will increase, since the tenure in office will stretch for five years.
Without Airborne - nowhere
The son of Vasily Filippovich is known in the landing troops. Traditionally, he is in contact with the leadership, with the commanders who came after his father. Margelov Vitaly often comes to the Tula, Pskov divisions, attends the Ryazan Airborne School -constituency in which he ran. Often comes to soldiers, officers and cadets. Everywhere one can feel the respectful attitude towards the father - paratrooper No. 1, which does not fade away, but only increases. Margelov Vitaly Vasilyevich, whose photo is posted in this article, is captured below on his visit to one of the parts.
Married, four sons. The eldest, Mikhail, is a member of the State Duma and heads the international committee. Another, Vladimir, dedicated 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 world's special services, he loved the memoirs of scouts, walks in the woods, and fishing. In 2010, he passed away before reaching seventy.
