After graduating from Novocherkassk high school with a gold medal, he entered the Moscow State University, Department of Economics. He graduated in 1959.

Before the most disturbing night, he suggested that the deputies leave the barricades and go home, so as not to endanger their lives.Having promised to stay in the Moscow Soviet until the end of the unrest, he immediately went to the White House after the deputy meeting ended.
Despite the fact that Popov is a former member of the CPSU, in whose ranks he had been a member for a long time, it was with his permission that the demolition of monuments in Moscow to the revolutionary communists took place, the streets and squares of the city were renamed.
Journalist Anatoly Baranov published information that Popov supported the project, according to which Neskuchny Sad and the surrounding territories were to be transferred on a half-century lease to one of the Soviet-French enterprises for a ridiculous amount of $ 99.

About political views
In the early nineties, G. Popov, during the period of support by the Russian people for the first president B. N. Yeltsin, spoke about the need for a "master for the people." Allegedly, the people themselves have no desire to work, but someone else should have a different life, better.
In mid-2007, Popov spoke out in support of the traitor general Vlasov.
In the spring of 2009, he criticized the anti-crisis measures of the Russian government, stating that the ruling team should be replaced.
He proposed a series of global socio-economic transformations developed by the International Economic Union. Popov put forward the idea of creating a global government, the dissolution of the current composition of the United Nations.He proposed to adopt another basis for its formation, taking into account the determination of the number of population, the volume of accumulated national wealth and a certain amount of national income per person. All nuclear weapons, nuclear power, space rocket technology, and the wealth of the bowels of the planet should be something like global control.
Ideas of a global perspective for the development of the planet
Popov proposed taking the birth process under strict regulatory control, which would take into account the level of productivity and the amount of resources accumulated in each state. He called for a way out of the impasse indicated by Malthus: it is unacceptable when the impoverished peoples are most likely to proliferate.
Along with this, in his proposals, as the most promising, it was proposed to give preference to genetic control carried out at the germinal stage in order to constantly clean the human gene pool.
In his opinion, state structures should be formed with the complete exclusion of populist democracy. When electing deputies to the legislative chamber, a citizen must have a number of votes corresponding to the value of his educational and intellectual qualifications, and the amount of tax payments by the voter should also be taken into account from the amount of his income.
Popov proposed the exclusion from the ranks of the world community of states that "abandon the global perspective."
Critical publications
At the beginning of 2010, Popov and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov jointly prepared a critical article regarding reformist Gaidar ideas, which noted that "after the implementation of these economic transformations, the country was thrown back thirty-five years, the state economic potential decreased fourfold."

In 1996, selected works were published in an eight-volume edition.
Book of war
Popov wrote the book "Forty-first, forty-fifth. One war or three?" On the Internet, this work went under the name "Three Wars of Stalin." In this work, Popov proved the theory that three wars occurred at once during the Great Patriotic War. The first was lost by us in the very first days of the offensive of the Nazi troops.
In the second war, the Patriotic War, the entire population of the country came to the defense of the motherland. In the third war, in 1944 - 1945, the so-called expansion of socialism was carried out.
Popov spoke positively of the Capture Wall Street movement, stating that this gives him hope.
When Boris Nemtsov was killed, G. Popov spoke out that the only right answer to this action was the need to rally around the Russian president.
