Two of them are now the heads of the village administration, and the daughter is the headmaster of the school.
• The younger sister, Irina, like Larisa, who became a psychiatrist, moved from Abakan to Moscow.
• Brother Sergei, born two years later, became the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Larisa Kuzhugetovna worked for 22 years in the republican psychiatric hospital, gradually climbing the career ladder from an ordinary doctor to the deputy head doctor of a medical institution for medical work. Some time later, in 1998, she became the first deputy minister of health of Tyva, but at the end of the year she left her post and moved to the Russian capital.

All this versatile professional activity did not prevent Larisa Kuzhugetovna from marrying a surgeon named Flamenbaum. Subsequently, starting a political career, she returned her maiden name. But the father's surname is borne by his son, Alexander, the CEO of a financial company, grandson Nikita (22 years old) and granddaughter Maria, who turned 13 years old.

Political activity

At the age of 54, Larisa became a deputy of the State Duma: she was elected on the federal list nominated by the party and, as a doctor, became a member of the State Duma's committee on health protection. Subsequently, she was repeatedly re-elected, in her second election she already became deputy chairman of the committee on regulations and organization of the work of the legislative body. In this position, she fully displayed initiative, creativity, business and organizational qualities:

• introduced many legislative initiatives;
• proposed amendments to bills;
• three years ago she initiated a bill providing for a symmetrical response to the unfriendly actions of Western countries.

For her work in the Russian parliament, she was awarded the honorary diploma of the State Duma and the badge of honor awarded for services in the development of parliamentarism.

However, the bill, developed on her initiative and containing in one of the paragraphs a proposal to ban the import of drugs of foreign origin, was criticized not only by public organizations, but also by the committees of the Federation Council and the State Duma. Presumably, it was this point that caused criticism from people lobbying for imported drugs, although the State Duma committee on international affairs took part in the discussion.

The news that Larisa Shoigu, a State Duma deputy, had died, shocked her party members. She won a brilliant victory in the primaries and had to run again, but not on the federal, but on the party list, as a candidate from her small homeland - Tuva.
