Oleg Matveychev, on the contrary, is known as a comprehensively developed personality, capable of revealing themes of politics, psychology and philosophy in his works. Who is he? And what literary masterpieces did he manage to write?

Biography of Oleg Matveychev: childhood, studies

Oleg Matveychev was born in early February 1970. His hometown is Novokuznetsk, where he grew up and graduated from high school. Later, he successfully passed the exams and entered the state university in the Urals, where he studied at the Faculty of Philosophy until 1993. Based on the words of his classmates, Oleg was a modest guy who did not stand out from the crowd. However, even then he could surprise those around him with his sharp mind and erudition.

The future philosopher and publicist read a lot, and also loved to analyze the material he studied. It was a pleasure to discuss any topic with him and keep the conversation going. As people from his circle say, Oleg managed to carry these character traits through time and retain them even after completing his studies at the university, which he graduated with honors.

Graduate studies and early teaching careers

Immediately after university, Oleg Matveychev, a political scientist, philosopher and publicist, applied to graduate school. He underwent further training at the Institute of Philosophy and Law. In his own words, he wanted not only to gain knowledge, but also to share it with other people. Therefore, Oleg was attracted to work as a teacher and pedagogue.

Following his dream, a young and promising teacher decided to try his hand at students from secondary schools and higher educational institutions in Yekaterinburg. And since there was not always enough money to live on, he earned extra money by doing tests, diplomas, coursework and even dissertations to order.

At the beginning of 1995, Oleg Matveychev, a future professor at the Higher School of Economics, defended his PhD thesis on the philosophy of law and politics.

Work at the institute and preparation for a doctoral dissertation

In 1996, Matveychev managed, in a matter of days, to occupy a vacant position as a research assistant at the Institute of Philosophy and Law, where he had previously studied and practiced. And it was from this moment that Oleg opened up to the world as the author of diverse scientific works and monographs. For example, while a university researcher, he wrote such works as “Antipsychology. Modern man in search of meaning”, “Sovereignty of the Spirit” and many others. In total, about 50 works came from the pen of the philosopher and teacher.

Simultaneously with his literary career, Oleg Matveychev carried out long and painstaking work on his doctoral dissertation, which he later successfully defended.

Work as a public figure

Immediately after defending his doctorate, Oleg began to master his knowledge in practice, using society for this. So, he began to take an active part in various public discussions, including on television, in political debates, etc. Moreover, this work fascinated him so much that he did it for about 12 years.

During this period, he managed to take part in over 200 projects, including the elections of local councils and the president, and the purchase of shares. At the same time, a public figure with still little life experience had to work both on the territory of Russia and abroad. This is the type of activity Oleg Matveychev was engaged in. His biography is filled with significant events and dates.

Daily matters

They say about people like Oleg that they “spin on one leg.” Indeed, this wonderful political scientist and philosopher always knows what and when to do. In his own words, he tries to be a well-rounded person who knows how to work and earn money.

By the way, Matveychev’s participation in social, political, and sometimes public activities has borne fruit. As a result, he managed to make a decent fortune. However, Oleg Matveychev decided to continue to increase the money he earned. As a result, in 1999 he moved to Moscow and opened several media agencies, funds, consulting and information companies there.

Participation in various media projects

At the same time, the name of the philosopher and political scientist became in demand among representatives of the press and mass media. He is increasingly called upon to play the role of expert and commentator. For example, four information publications competed for the right to invite a specialist to their editorial office:

• "Expert";
• "Businessman-power";
• "Vedomosti" and "Profile".

Scandalous phrase and popularity

According to many journalists, one fine day he woke up famous. Moreover, the reason for such unexpected popularity was not Oleg Matveychev’s books, but a scandalous phrase uttered by the political scientist on his personal blog. In this phrase, the political strategist expressed his attitude towards politics in the country as a whole, towards representatives of the government, the opposition bloc, as well as towards people who, for selfish reasons, sow confusion among ordinary people.

Matveychev's further career

The career of a political strategist has gone from strength to strength. At first he was deputy director of one of the large consulting companies, Baxter Group. He held this position until mid-2006. Then he was invited to the position of director of this organization, which opened its representative office in Moscow. After this there was the position of vice-president of the Institute of National Strategy, previously founded

Then there was long teaching at Moscow State University and the Higher School of Economics, membership in the National Academy of Social Technologies and a “warm place” in the Administrative Building under the President of the Russian Federation. Even later, he was appointed a consultant, and then an adviser on domestic policy affairs to the president. And the main thing is that, being a responsible person under the Administration, Oleg Matveychev easily combined his teaching activities at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Higher School of Economics, where he had previously managed to undergo an internship.

Books and writing activities of a political strategist

The political strategist tried to write about what could not be said out loud in his books. All of them are filled with a certain philosophical and political meaning, which Oleg Matveychev put into them. “Ears Waving Donkey” is a prime example of this. This book is a collection consisting of five parts. Each of them reveals the following problems:

• manipulation of the mood of the masses (used in organizing “color revolutions”);
• modern social programming;
• election campaigning and PR;
• political technologies.

The book also raises topical issues of current politics, which are being pursued by the current Russian authorities, and gives advice on how to manipulate public opinion, how to tune it into the desired wave and direct it in the appropriate direction. While writing the material, the author used his own analytical data and developments, real documents, knowledge in the field of political technology, and facts. By reading the book “Ears Waving a Donkey,” you can learn:

• how much do politicians actually spend on elections?
• who can manipulate people's opinions;
• how concepts are replaced;
• what constitutes “black PR”;
• how not to fall under the influence of “black PR”, etc.

Oleg Matveychev, “Territory of Meanings”

Recently, Oleg began to support politically active youth. For example, this year he took part in a new project called “Territory of Meanings.” This is a new forum that started in early July in Klyazma and was organized with the support of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, as well as the Rospatriottsentr. At that time, the project was supervised by the Department of Internal Policy under the Administration of the President of Russia.

The event itself took place in a camp on Lake Zapolskoe, where a group of young people came every seven days. Up to 1,000 young people aged 18 to 30 could gather there at the same time. During their stay in the camp, forum participants had the opportunity to listen to lectures by university teachers, professional political strategists, graduate students and students.

Among the teachers was Matveychev. In particular, he gave a fascinating lecture in which he talked about manipulating the consciousness of politically active people and using tools from a series of information technologies. In his speech, the professor and political strategist emphasized the fact that every active person is simply obliged to take part in the “information war.” Otherwise, his “political naivety” can be used by interested people for their own selfish purposes.

The Magnificent Prince of Taurida is 275 years old! The time has come to remember him without sensational chatter and bow to the memory of an outstanding statesman. Let us think: after all, in the history of Russia there is no one to put next to this dreamer and builder, adventurer and cautious statesman. The scope of Potemkin's activities is amazing. This is a real “effective manager” for all times. And in history he remained in the mask of a zhuir... The airwaves were filled with news from Crimea and Novorossiya. But all this is Potemkin. Only he managed to set his own rules, avoiding strife. He took care of the soldiers in the war too.

After Japan's military defeat in 1945, the American occupation authorities banned all Japanese martial arts, with the exception of karate, which was considered just a variation of Chinese gymnastics. In 1948, the Japan Karate Association (JKA) was created, headed by Funakoshi, uniting leading specialists in this type of martial arts. From that time on, karate began to develop both as a system of self-defense and as a sport” (were they real, all these “Japanese martial arts”? The question, of course, is rhetorical).

British Kyokushinkai Karate was founded in 1965 following the return of Steve Arneil and Bob Boulton from Japan, where they had studied Kyokushinkai at Tokyo Hombu
- Jon Blooming is considered the founder of Kyokushinkai in Europe. On January 2, 1962, Jon Blooming (a refined Japanese in the 33rd generation, of course, yeah), on behalf of Masutatsu Oyama, creates the first European karate association, called NKA

On July 24, 1948, the British Judo Association was created in London. And already on July 26 of the same year, the European Judo Union (EJU) was formed by Great Britain, Italy, Holland and Switzerland. In 1951, Austria and France joined the European Judo Union.
