Rarely do any modern authors understand several fields of activity at once. They choose a specific, often narrow, focus and develop this theme in almost all of their works. 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 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 modest guy, not standing 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. According to him in my 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 secondary school and higher education students. educational institutions 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, being research fellow university, 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, working as a public figure with still little life experience occurred both on the territory of Russia and abroad. This is the type of activity Oleg Matveychev was engaged in. His biography is full 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 comprehensive developed person who know 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 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 complete 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 invested in them. "Ears waving donkey" - bright that example. 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 current issues current policy pursued by the current Russian authorities, advice is given on how to manipulate public opinion, how to tune it to the desired wavelength 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”
IN Lately 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 Public Chamber 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 conducted exciting lecture, in which he spoke about the manipulation of the consciousness of politically active people, about the use of tools from the series information technologies. In his speech, the professor and political strategist emphasized the fact that every active person I simply have to take part in " information war" Otherwise, his “political naivety” can be used by interested people for their own selfish purposes.
