Biography

In 1973, he graduated from the Altai Agricultural Institute with a degree in agronomist.

From 1990 to 1993, he was the People's Deputy of the RSFSR.
Governor of Altai Krai
[edit]In 1992, President Boris Yeltsin paid a visit to the Altai Krai when Rayfikesht was governor.[3] During his visit, the Raifikesht team was able to resolve several strategic issues of paramount importance for the further development of the Altai Krai: such as the construction of the main gas pipeline between Novosibirsk and Barnaul, the construction of a new road bridge across the Ob, and financing of the Semipalatinsk program.
It is especially difficult for any revolutionaries and reformers to work in our outback. Vladimir Raifikesht was viewed by many as a romantic revolutionary perestroika who replaced the bankrupt partocrats. In this role, there were both advantages and disadvantages. They spoke not only about his sincere belief in democracy and personal decency, but also about his lack of managerial skills. He had to assemble a team of very different people, some of whom later betrayed him, and some too actively engaged in improving their well-being. On the other hand, he faced an ever-growing hatred of his “exes” who dreamed of revenge. As a result, Raifikesht did not manage to complete the work that had to be done then in the Altai Territory: it was necessary to thoughtfully, but quickly transfer the economy to market rails, create an effective team of modern managers.

The program has attracted billions of rubles in social payments and investments to the Altai Krai. Thanks to the Semipalatinsk program, new social and healthcare facilities were built precisely at the expense of the Semipalatinsk program.
During Rayfikesht's governorship, there was an upsurge in small business and entrepreneurship, the foundation and foundation for the development of the private sector was laid. The judicial system was rebuilt, new buildings were erected for courts. Raifikest contributed to the creation of the Museum of Culture and Ethnography, a unique cultural and literary museum. Plus, Raifikesht made a great contribution to the agrarian policy of the region, a large number of farms were created, some of them still work. Successful collective farms were transformed into joint stock companies.[5]

From 1997 to 1999, he was Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Altai TerritoryKrai. From 1999 to 2003, he was the chairman of the regional public organization of the Altai Regional Public Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms.

Yes, we were infringed upon, we were hated, our administration was not allowed to work in full measure. As a result, I was forced to resign. But I will say the main thing: our administration succeeded to start serious economic reforms in the region; This, I believe, is our main success.
