Andrey Kozlov Biography

Andrey Kozlov is one of the most popular and richest Russian football player who was born on January 6, 1965 in Moscow, Russia. Andrei Andreyevich Kozlov (Russian: Андре́й Андре́евич Козло́в ; January 6, 1965 – September 14, 2006) was the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation from 1997 to 1999 and again in 2002 to 2006.

Levan Zolotarev, a senior vice president at Russian Standard Bank, said, “Kozlov was a strong believer in reforming the financial markets of Russia. He pushed many radical changes that were important for the banking business.” Zolotarev first met Kozlov when they studied at Moscow Financial Institute. Recently they worked together on amendments to a bankruptcy bill, which was to be voted on in the Duma in late 2006, making subordinated loans equivalent to capital. Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin described Kozlov as “a very courageous and honest personality, who has been on the frontline of the struggle against financial crimes,” frequently damaging “the interests of dishonest financiers.” Anatoly Chubais, Chairman of RAO UES, said Kozlov was “an undoubtedly honest, principled, and absolutely non-commercial man. He was one of the most professional people in the entire Russian banking sector,” calling his assassination a “blatant challenge to the entire Russian government system. This is a case when the authorities must respond in a tough manner, promptly, and mercilessly.” Mikhail Grishankov, a senior member of the lower chamber of parliament, said the assassination was a spit in the face of the state. Punishing the killers is a “matter of honor… This is a terrible murder of a person who protected interests of the state and opposed schemes used by some banks to legalize revenues of shadow and criminal business. Criminal groups that control those banks will stop at nothing.” The Central Bank issued a statement applauding Kozlov for making a “huge contribution to the reform of the country’s banking system, making it more effective, transparent and stable.” Oleg V. Vyugin, Russia’s chief securities regulator, in a telephone interview, said, “It was criminals taking revenge for the legal actions of the central bank, and unfortunately Mr. Kozlov paid the price.”

On September 8, 2006, the Friday before his murder, Kozlov gave a speech at a banking conference in Sochi, saying, “Those who have been found out laundering criminal money should probably be barred from staying in the banking profession for life. Such people disgrace the banking system.”

Kozlov was fluent in Russian, German, and English. He was married, and had three children. Kozlov died on September 14, 2006, in Hospital No. 33 in Moscow from gunshot wounds he sustained the night before.

In 2005, Kommersant reported that Kozlov is “valued as a top-of-the-line professional. He is also given due credit as one of those who started the formation of the stock market in Russia.” After his death, Kommersant credited Kozlov with combating “gray schemes,” illegal importing practices that minimize customs duties and value-added tax payments.
