Gennady Onishchenko was born on October 21, 1950 in the village of Chargyn-Tash, Kyrgyzstan. The boy's mother was a medical worker, and the guy decided to follow in her footsteps. After school, in 1967, the young man graduated with honors from the Donetsk Medical Institute. In his youth he was engaged in weightlifting and even had the title of candidate master of sports. After defending his dissertation, he received the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences.

At this time, Gennady Onishchenko made a number of decisions that caused various judgments about his activities. This is a ban on the sale of hygienic liquids containing technical alcohol.

He proposed to consider the issue of banning advertising of beer and alcoholic beverages in the media.

He staffed laboratories for infectious diagnostics with preparations for the detection of atypical pneumonia. But the activity of Gennady Grigoryevich as the head of Rospotrebnadzor caused the most ambiguous opinions. On the one hand, these are unreasonable, according to some experts, bans on the import of Georgian wine and mineral water, Ukrainian sweets and Belarusian cheeses. On the other hand, a stock of antibiotics has been created and measures to prevent the spread of the H5N1 virus.

In 2013, on October 23, Onishchenko resigned and was appointed to the post of Assistant to the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. In his new position, he continued to struggle with the use of alcohol and tobacco. More than once in the media made statements about this.

At the annual All-Russian Congress on infectious diseases raised the issue of the need for measles prophylaxis among the adult population and the need for immunization of the population against hepatitis. Experts listen to his opinion. Even while holding responsible positions, he remained an epidemiologist and took an active part in the elimination of many natural disasters. Onishchenko is going to continue to fight for the health of his compatriots.

Head of Rospotrebnadzor

Ban on the supply of wine from Georgia and Moldova, milk from Belarus

In March 2006, Rospotrebnadzor completely banned the import of Georgian and Moldovan wines into Russia, motivating this step by the discrepancy between a significant part of them sanitary standards. The Georgian leadership acknowledged the presence of a large number of fakes on the Georgian wine market and initiated criminal cases against the management of a number of wineries. According to a VTsIOM poll, 71% of the Russian population supported the restrictions imposed by Gennady Onishchenko.

In October 2007, the ban on the import of Moldovan wines was lifted.

On June 6, 2009, Rospotrebnadzor banned the import of almost 500 dairy products from Belarus, and then another 800 - due to the fact that Belarusian producers did not re-register documents in accordance with the requirements of the technical regulations for milk. The Belarusian delegation did not come to the CSTO summit (June 15, 2009) in Moscow, explaining its step by "economic discrimination" from one of the CSTO countries.

The article “Administrative suspension of activities as a form of punishment and prohibition of relevant activities in order to prevent future harm” (Executive Law magazine No. 2, 2008), written by Igor Solomonis, head of the legal service of the Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the city of St. Petersburg, has become a practical guide for Rospotrebnadzor employees.

Proposal to ban the manufacture and sale of tobacco products

In December 2008, Gennady Onishchenko proposed radical new measures to combat smoking. He said that in Russia it is necessary to ban the use, and not only on the street, but also the sale and production of cigarettes, Interfax reports.

Onishchenko explained that such measures should not be introduced immediately, but after a scientifically substantiated transitional period, based on the results of the implementation of a special program. It is in this context that the question of combating smoking in the European Union is now being discussed, he added.

Later, when discussing the ban on the demonstration of the smoking process in audiovisual works and programs intended for children, G. G. Onishchenko, in an interview with the Ekho Moskvy radio station, expressed the opinion that negative characters in cartoons and films can smoke, and as examples of such characters named the Wolf from the animated series "Well, you wait!" and James Bond.

Swine flu

In July-August 2009, Onishchenko recommended that the executive authorities of the regions limit the holding of mass events, and the government - to close international communication with countries where swine flu outbreaks are observed. He recommended that the population of the Russian Federation go on vacation to Russian resorts to the detriment of vacations abroad.

2011 initiatives

In the summer of 2011, Rospotrebnadzor issued a ban on the import of vegetables from Egypt, as a hotbed for the development of certain intestinal infections; at the same time, the ban on the import of vegetables from Italy and Hungary, which have passed the appropriate certification procedure, was lifted. In the autumn of the same year, Gennady Onishchenko took the initiative to introduce unannounced inspections at public catering establishments, which, in his opinion, would improve the quality and level of service in public catering establishments.

Conflict with the State Duma on the anti-tobacco law

On October 23, 2012, he spoke about the draft of a new law against smoking, making sharp statements against the State Duma of the Russian Federation, stating in particular:

If our Duma does not accept the law that has been introduced, I, as a citizen, will raise the question of its dissolution. I have the right, as a voter, to say so.

In response, members of the Duma faction "United Russia" opposed the head of Rospotrebnadzor. Andrei Makarov, in particular, proposed "to send Mr. Onishchenko for a psychiatric examination." Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin stated that:

I have known Gennady Grigoryevich Onishchenko for a long time, I have great respect for him, I appreciate his efficiency, dedication and deep professional knowledge, but it is obvious that Gennady Grigoryevich has spaces. I will invite him and give the appropriate explanations.

On the same day that the conflict occurred, an article was published claiming that the Russian blogosphere supports Onishchenko and his position on the tobacco issue. It contains several quotes, from which it follows that statements about the need to send the chief sanitary doctor of the Russian Federation for a “psychiatric examination” were considered offensive by some Internet users.

Attitude towards GMOs

In June 2012, Rospotrebnadzor proposed to start using genetically modified organisms in Russia for growing crops. Gennady Onishchenko signed this proposal, which was later sent to the State Duma and implemented in the form of a draft resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval of the procedure for state registration of genetically modified organisms intended for release into the environment, as well as products obtained using such organisms or containing such organisms.

In 2015, Gennady Onishchenko changed his position on GMOs, putting forward the idea that in Russia, at the level of ministries and departments, it is necessary to create a system for controlling the circulation of GM products and a risk assessment methodology. Most of the media, in particular, Gazeta.ru, described this news in a mocking way.

Conflict with Roshen

In July 2013, the head of Rospotrebnadzor announced a ban on the supply of confectionery products from the Ukrainian company Roshen to Russia. On July 29, Onishchenko said that the department’s suspicions were “justified”, that the Ukrainian company’s confectionery products did not meet the “declared parameters”, and there was also a claim to the “quality and safety” of the product.

On August 16, commenting on rumors of a "trade war" between Russia and Ukraine, Gennady Onishchenko said the following:

Russia has a list of claims against Ukraine in the field of consumer protection, but it is wrong to consider this a trade war.

Lithuanian milk ban

In October 2013, Russia introduced a set of measures to limit the supply of dairy products from Lithuania. This is stated in the official message of Rospotrebnadzor:

… facts testify to the weakening of control in the Republic of Lithuania over the quality and safety of food products and the need to introduce restrictive measures for the import of food products of the Republic of Lithuania into the territory of the Russian Federation. In view of the foregoing, Rospotrebnadzor has suspended the import of milk and dairy products manufactured in the Republic of Lithuania into the territory of the Russian Federation.

Resignation

On October 22, 2013, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Olga Golodets, commenting on the rumors about the resignation of G. G. Onishchenko, said:

Gennady Grigoryevich Onishchenko has expired his term as head of Rospotrebnadzor, and therefore he is leaving this post. Anna Popova, Deputy Head of Rospotrebnadzor, will be appointed as the new head of the department.

Later that day, Onishchenko refused to confirm his resignation, calling Olga Golodets a "strange character" who "is not one of the decision makers." Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said that Onishchenko "will not leave the system anywhere", saying that he might be offered another post.

The press secretary of the head of the Government of the Russian Federation, Natalya Timakova, made an official statement that Onishchenko had not been dismissed, the order to this effect was not signed by D. A. Medvedev.

On October 23, information appeared that Onishchenko would be dismissed by order of D. A. Medvedev after the return of the prime minister from China. One of the reasons for Onishchenko's resignation, according to one of the government officials, will be the "management problem" of the head of Rospotrebnadzor.

On the evening of October 23, 2013, Gennady Onishchenko was officially dismissed from the post of head of Rospotrebnadzor and appointed assistant to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

After resignation

Through bribery, all kinds of unseemly actions ... a number of multinational companies dealt with issues related to testing vaccines on our children ...

On October 24, 2014, he made another statement, urging people to stop drinking alcohol. In a statement, Onishchenko advised men “if they feel bad” to engage in physical activity, and women to listen to music and walk in the fresh air, “but in no case alcohol is self-deception.”

On August 5, 2015, commenting on the expansion of the list of medical products subject to restrictions in public procurement proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation (which dealt, in particular, with a possible restriction on the purchase of foreign condoms), Gennady Onishchenko said that "rubber products" have nothing to do with the health of citizens, and this restriction will force the Russians to be "more disciplined, more strict and choosy in choosing a partner." Also, the former chief sanitary doctor said that Russian manufacturers will be able to compete with Western ones in respect of products, the purchase of which is planned to be restricted. The statement about condoms caused a mixed reaction: on the one hand, Academician Vadim Pokrovsky, head of the Federal Scientific and Methodological Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS, agreed with Onishchenko, who said that there was no connection between the spread of HIV infection and the restrictions of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, but on the other hand, for example , MD Pavel Krotin "chuckled" at the statement of a colleague, noting that the deterioration in the quality of condoms will lead to the spread of unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

May 22, 2016, following the results of the primaries " United Russia"Took first place in the fight for the seat of a candidate for the State Duma from this party in the Tushino single-mandate constituency No. 206 in Moscow. Two days later, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev lifted Onishchenko's reprimand imposed in February "for violating the requirements of Article 18 of the federal law on the state civil service of the Russian Federation." When submitting the declaration, the candidate did not declare a plot and a residential building in the Moscow region. Since autumn 2016 - Deputy of the State Duma of the 7th convocation, member of the Committee on Education and Science.

In February 2017, Onishchenko, in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel, stated that he considered it expedient to humanely euthanize unclaimed stray dogs kept in municipal shelters, and also that he considered it unacceptable to find such animals on the streets of cities, since they pose a threat to both sanitary standards and the safety of citizens. This statement was condemned by the Russian animal protection community, which defends the rights of stray dogs and advocates for their freedom and inviolability, however, some animal rights activists supported Onishchenko, emphasizing that such methods of treating stray animals are practiced in all developed countries of the world.

Criticism

After the introduction of a ban on the supply of a number of Georgian and Moldovan goods to Russia, representatives of these countries and market participants accused the department headed by Onishchenko and him personally of being politically biased. A number of Russian journalists expressed the opinion that the ban on the import of products from Georgia and Moldova, introduced by Onishchenko, was not dictated by sanitary, but rather by foreign policy reasons.

Best of the day

His monographs on the theory and practice of preventing and localizing epidemic situations in the context of recent military conflicts have received recognition from specialists. Gennady Grigoryevich was the direct organizer of anti-epidemic support in the warring region, including the first and second Chechen campaigns. This circumstance determined the high significance of these works, the only ones of their kind.

A number of monographs by G.G. Onishchenko is dedicated to the anti-epidemic provision of the population in areas of natural disasters, including the earthquake in Spitak (Armenia), floods in the cities of Lensk and Stavropol, in the elimination of the consequences of which Gennady Grigorievich was directly involved.

Onishchenko made a significant contribution to the study of epidemiology and organization at the present stage of the fight against especially dangerous (cholera, anthrax, plague) and emerging infections (viral hepatitis B, C and E, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and West Nile fever), as well as HIV infection, typhus and others. These studies are reflected in fundamental works and monographs.

In particular, many years of experience in the fight against cholera made it possible to develop a reliable system of anti-cholera measures aimed at stopping the spread of cholera and identifying sources of infection. Its creation is based on the division of the administrative territories of the Russian Federation into 3 types, depending on the degree of danger of the emergence and spread of cholera.

As a result of the conducted studies, the territories of Dagestan, Chechen Republic, Stavropol Territory, as well as Astrakhan, Rostov and Volgograd regions.

Type III territories are divided into 3 groups, including subtypes A, B and C. The first subtype (A) included 39 administrative entities of the Central, North Caucasian, West Siberian and other regions of the Russian Federation, where the occurrence of outbreaks of cholera, the cause of which the infection began to be imported, there was no tendency for it to spread to other administrative territories. The remaining administrative entities of type III were determined depending on the registration in them of cases of isolation of cholera vibrios from environmental objects (subtype B) or the absence of the latter (subtype C). Tested during the elimination of a cholera outbreak in the Republic of Dagestan (1994).

The use of G.G. Onishchenko of molecular genetic methods, including molecular probing and PCR, in relation to solving the problems of cholera epidemiology.

These and other studies provided G.G. Onishchenko unquestioned authority among domestic and foreign specialists and politicians in the field of strategy and tactics for conducting emergency anti-epidemic measures in emergency situations. In particular, the monographs and articles of Gennady Grigoryevich, devoted to modern ideas in the field of microbiology, epidemiology, clinic, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of anthrax, were highly appreciated. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 13, 2003? 1481 as part of a group of scientists G.G. Onishchenko was awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology for 2002 - for the development and introduction into medical practice of new means of specific prevention, diagnosis and treatment of anthrax.

The solution of topical scientific and practical problems of our time in the activities of G.G. Onishchenko is successfully combined with the indispensable consideration of the experience accumulated by the generations of his predecessors. This is evidenced by several monographs on the evolution of infectious diseases in Russia (XX century), as well as the history of the development of the domestic sanitary and epidemiological service and its outstanding leaders, the historical decisions of congresses of Russian epidemiologists. Currently, Gennady Grigorievich is working on a monograph dedicated to the activities of congresses of domestic hygienists.

A special place among the monographs of G.G. Onishchenko, co-authored, is occupied by the work (2004), which deals with modern problems of public health risks associated with the increasing and multifactorial impact of environmental conditions on it. This collective work is so far the only domestic product of its kind, which not only has important methodological significance for other similar works, but was also prepared for the first time in accordance with the modern international WHO standard.

In 1995–2004, with the direct participation of G.G. Onishchenko developed 6 most important federal laws aimed at strengthening the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population of the Russian Federation: “On preventing the spread of a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection) in the Russian Federation” (1995, No. 38-FZ), “On the immunoprophylaxis of infectious diseases” (1998, No. 157-FZ), “On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population” (1999, No. 52-FZ), “On the quality and safety of food products” (2000, No. 29-FZ) and others.

In the same years, several federal target programs were implemented, including “Prevention and control of diseases of a social nature”, which included 2 subprograms - “Vaccinal prophylaxis” and “Urgent measures to prevent the spread of the disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (Anti-HIV) in the Russian Federation /AIDS)"; over 100 decisions of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation were adopted to address practical issues of maintaining epidemic well-being and preventing infectious diseases.

Under the scientific guidance and consultation of G.G. Onishchenko trained 21 doctors and 20 candidates of medical sciences.

G.G. Onishchenko was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, for his great contribution to the organization of healthcare, the sanitary and epidemiological service of the Russian Federation and many years of conscientious work.

Working day G.G. Onishchenko for the past decades has been at least 16 hours a day, without days off and holidays. “My hobby is working for the benefit of the country's health care,” he admits. In rare moments of rest, Gennady Grigorievich prefers to study that part of the history of Russia, which is inextricably linked with the history of Christianity and Orthodoxy in Rus', its spiritual heritage, calling this passion an appeal to the origins. And the birds and animals pick it up, drink from these puddles.
Yes, we ourselves, people - are garbage and dirty.
Everywhere in Europe there are squares and there are clouds of pigeons that sit on people, eat from their hands, take pictures with them.
And earlier in the cities there were dovecotes. Pigeons were bred.
And now two dovecotes are being built in my area.
In Tsarist Rus', there was even a position who watched falcons and pigeons.
And you say, P. Picasso promoted this bird. This bird is mentioned in the eternal testament.
After all, she brought an olive branch to the ark and by this she made it clear that the earth was nearby.
And if you go to church, then look at the icons carefully. Many of them depict doves.
Recently, we caught teenage girls who lured a dove and began to twist their wings,
and then stuffed it into the trash and closed the lid.
Let's be kinder and appreciate what the Lord has given us and remember that we are responsible for those whom we have tamed.
And it will be like in China, where they destroyed sparrows in their time!
