Lebedev is considered the eternal president of the Supreme Court and has held this position since July 1989, when he was appointed in the then Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, as the Kommersant newspaper highlighted this Saturday.
He was born in Moscow in 1943 and began his career in a reinforced concrete pipe factory. In 1968 he graduated from the evening department of the Law Faculty of Lomonosov State University in the capital.
Lébedev was appointed President of the reformed Supreme Court in 2013, when a new Supreme Court was created in what is now the Russian Federation after merging the institution that dealt with criminal cases and civil suits with the Supreme Arbitration Court that was dedicated to economic issues.
