Biography
Musatov was born to a military family on 14 February 1976 in Rakvere, Estonia, then occupied by the Soviet Union. His father was Mikhail Ivanovich Musatov,[3] a Russian politician who served continuously as a deputy of the State Duma from 1995 to 2011 and also belonged to the LDPR. Musatov grew up in Belarus, moving with his family to Moscow in 1985.[2] He studied engineering as a cadet at the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School, graduating in 1997 with academic honors.[1] He then received a master's of economics from the Finance Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation in 1999, and a law degree in 2003.[3]
In 2003 he was elected as a deputy to the 4th convocation of the Russian State Duma. As a member, he served on the Security Committee.
