In 2 months, the election campaign for the election of the head of Yekaterinburg will begin. If everything goes according to plan (more precisely, according to the current version of the City Charter), then at a meeting on June 11, the City Duma will decide on the appointment of elections for September 8, 2013. With considering holiday Russia, the decision will be published on June 13-14. The nomination of candidates will begin 80 days before voting day. So for now, from a legal point of view, we can only talk about applicants. Stylistically correct - candidates for candidates. Surnames are called a great many. For the sake of clarity, it was decided to consider as applicants those who have launched explicit advertising campaigns. V (UPImonitor) analyzed the media activity (from the beginning of the year to mid-April) of Evgeny Artyukh. Next in line is the politician with the letter "B".

Burkov Alexander Leonidovich. He turned 46 today. Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation for the second convocation in a row. Both times he was elected from the "Fair Russia", whose regional branch has been heading for six years. Political career started together with the legendary Anton Bakov - they have the May movement, the Industrial Parliament, the Union of State Employees of the Urals and the Peace, Labor, May pre-election bloc (in fact, huge campaign nets that worked on populism). In 1994 he was first elected to the Sverdlovsk Regional Duma. From 1995 to 1998 he worked as the "Ural Chubais" - the chairman of the Committee for State Property Management of the Sverdlovsk Region. In 1998 he was elected to the House of Representatives of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region. And in 1999 he took part in the election of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region - and, unexpectedly for Arkady Chernetsky, entered the second round. He was re-elected to the Regional Duma in 2000-2004. In 2007 he was elected to the State Duma on the list of Social Revolutionaries. In 2011, unexpectedly for Alexander Misharin, "Fair Russia" in the city of "collective Chernetsky" bypassed United Russia in the elections. By education Burkov is a heat and power engineer. Ph.D. in Economics. He is married and has a son.

According to the data, from the beginning of the year to today Burkov was mentioned in print and electronic media 48 times. 10 of them were mentioned in the federal media. In fact, he seeks to appear as a politician at the federal level, both newspapers and old ones already recognize him, also - which is more significant! - receives air on (there, you know, you cannot get there without the approval of the embassy or VGTRK). Burkov is regularly promoted in regional publications and the "oppositionist" flashes on and on the government. But on the "opposition" radio station he is mentioned extremely rarely (in relation to other "noteworthy talkers"). In the mass media of municipalities it appears even less often and, for some reason, mainly in the Pervouralsk ones. Although, it is understandable why - in this cheerful city he also has political interests, albeit not as large-scale as in the regional center.

And by the way, Burkov, although he is firmly connected with "Fair Russia", the image self-destruction of this party in recent years does not in any way worsen the image of Burkov himself. It's funny, but if you go from Wikipedia to the page of Burkov, the party member, there is a "404 error".

Burkov is not promoting himself on such a large scale as the other contenders for mayors, but he is the only one who does this systematically. In the off-line media, he, as a regional party leader, is practically not "found" (therefore, by the way, he can be nominated even from the "Fair Russia", even from the "Popular Front", even from the movement "June, July, August") ... But monitoring immediately reveals two main themes. Burkov is "Fair Housing and Communal Services" and "For Travel!" Two "public organizations" which are being promoted by Burkov and "under Burkov". Of course, these are again some PR phantoms, as in their time various variations "May". But both act clearly on the key points of social tension - the swindle of the population in the housing and communal sector and the chaos in the field of public transport. It doesn't matter what. It is important that Burkov, as an experienced politician, works to build up a nuclear electorate, without spreading his thoughts on the agenda. Moreover, both themes are universal. Now you can attack the city authorities with all your might - they are the source of troubles and misfortunes. In December 2011, the source was United Russia. The time will come - the guns will deploy to the regional authorities.

At the same time, Burkov remains a systemic politician. And he did not scrape up any compromising evidence on his back, except for the story of his brother caught in some insignificant (by today's standards) corruption act. Last year there was another story with an assistant to a State Duma deputy who was selling "places on the list", but the swindler turned out to be a former assistant, and Burkov is slightly "hiccupped" tangentially. off-line has not yet leaked.

For the first time throughout Russia, Burkov became famous in 1999. Then Eduard Rossel went for a second term, and the mayor of Yekaterinburg, Arkady Chernetsky, who was persuaded into this adventure by the newly-minted "gray cardinal" Vladimir Tungusov, decided to fight him. It was an epoch-making "battle of industrial and commercial capital". But Rossel's sworn friend, Bakov, rescued his older comrade by starting a no less adventure with Burkov (in 2003 Bakov will repeat the trick - but on his own). Entering the second round of the odious - at that time - young politician instead of the lordly mayor practically saved the governor's career.

The elections for the head of Yekaterinburg will be held in one round. But this only increases the price of Burkov's participation in them. The mayor's office can bet both on the victory of Burkov, and use it for the total removal of votes from everyone in favor of its other candidate. Tungusov forgave Burkov for a long time in 1999, since then they have been practically comrades-in-arms. The main Sverdlovsk Socialist-Revolutionary Service can disown any connection with the "collective Tungushin" as much as he likes, tell any tales to the plenipotentiary or residence - their joint venture on December 11 will always be the clearest proof of the effectiveness of the combination of a talented political manager and a charismatic young politician.

But Burkov is still the most charismatic among the currently announced contenders. He is such a "mother-in-law candidate" (evil tongues gossip that

Personal life of Alexander Burkov

Alexander Leonidovich is married. The politician met his wife Tatyana while still a student, but began dating after graduating from university. His wife supported him in the most difficult times, when Burkov had to work as a loader - the factory salary was desperately lacking. The couple are raising their son Vladimir.

Alexander Burkov now

In early October 2017, Vladimir Putin accepted the resignation of the 54-year-old Governor of the Omsk Region, Viktor Nazarov, who had held this position since mid-2012, and appointed the acting head of the region, Burkov.


It was reported that at the end of September, Nazarov went to a meeting with Sergei Kiriyenko to select candidates for the post of mayor of Omsk, but instead was dismissed early. Burkov became the only member of Fair Russia among all Russian heads of regions. At the beginning of October, the media reported that, before assuming a new position, Burkov, among other candidates for governor, underwent training in Sochi, in which he jumped into a mountain river from a 7-meter cliff.

Alexander Leonidovich Burkov began and developed his political career in his native Urals - in the Sverdlovsk region. Here the deputy from the Just Russia party took the first steps, carried out a number of social innovations. In this regard, his appointment as Acting Governor of the Omsk Region in 2017 was quite unexpected. Burkov himself, however, considers this step "logical".

“It is more convenient for a new person to build equidistant relations between government and business, political and economic elites in the region,” he said, commenting on his appointment.

Childhood and youth

Alexander Burkov (accent on "y") was born on April 23, 1967 in the mining town of Kushva, Sverdlovsk region. His parents are from here, but his paternal grandfather moved here from the Volga expanses - from the Republic of Mari El. My father worked as a crane operator at a local mill roll factory. Mom worked on railroad: from a ticket clerk in 40 years to the rank of deputy chief of the station.

Alexander Burkov in childhood and his mother

At first, the family - parents and two children (even older brother Victor) - huddled in a communal apartment. Then the plant gave his father a separate apartment. Childhood, like many boys of that time, was spent in the yard.

“We climbed construction sites and old houses that were being demolished. Broke both legs and arms. And, of course, boyish fights were common, ”the governor recalls.

As he grew older, the young man became interested in athletics, also played volleyball and basketball as part of the school team. I tried to spend my leisure time in motion, as a result of which I did not study brilliantly.

“And I didn’t strive to be an excellent student,” he says now in an interview.

Particularly "lame" in the student humanitarian subjects: Russian and english languages, but physics and mathematics were among my favorites. Therefore, the guy, long before graduation, decided to enter the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI). Having become a student of the heat and power faculty, Alexander moved to Sverdlovsk. He lived in a hostel, was a drummer in a construction team. Student years calls

"The most fun and interesting part of life."

Career and politics

Burkov graduated from the university in 1989, becoming a thermal power engineer. Immediately I got a job in my specialty at the enterprise "TEA Malachite". But the time was difficult, the 90s were approaching, salaries were small, and they were delayed. By that time, Alexander Leonidovich was already married, he had to support his family. I had to earn extra money, worked in the "black" job, but was able to earn money and solve the housing issue.


In the early 90s, Alexander Leonidovich tried to do business. He worked in a managerial position in a private enterprise "East Line", was responsible for cargo transportation, as they say now, logistics. However, in business he did not see the application of his knowledge and abilities and decided to try himself in the civil service: in 1992 he was invited as a specialist to the Working Center for Economic Reforms under the government of the Russian Federation. Here Alexander Leonidovich began his political biography.

After 3 years of work at the center, he earned the position of head of the Regional Policy Department. By this time, he already had a deputy mandate of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region (subsequently elected repeatedly - in 1998, 2000, 2004).

Having established himself as a good manager, Burkov in 1995 received an important position - deputy chairman of the regional government for state property management. He was engaged in the nationalization of the Ural enterprises, fought, in his words, with "privatization." He worked in a team at that time of Governor Eduard Rossel.

In 1998, due to a conflict with the governor, Burkov resigned and resigned, incl. and deputy mandate. But the relatives of the Kushvins supported their fellow countryman in difficult times and nominated him as a deputy to the regional legislative assembly in the Kushvin district. And soon Burkov organized and headed the May movement, whose goal was to eliminate another social injustice - cutting pensions for Russian pensioners.


In 1999, Alexander Burkov was promoted to the post of head of the region, according to the results of the vote, he took second place (28.25%), losing to his former leader - Eduard Rossel. Burkov at that time was 32 years old.

During his tenure as a politician Burkov became the initiator of several social movements and organizations: "Industrial Parliament of the Sverdlovsk region", "For social guarantees of workers" May "," Union of state employees of the Urals "and others. The All-Russian Public Association “Russian Union of House Councils” (RSDS), which he created, received the widest resonance, which implies reforming the problematic sphere of housing and communal services in the real interests of owners.


Later, in 2013, the first congress of the RSDS was held and the program "Fair Housing and Utilities" was presented, which is currently being implemented by the Centers for the Protection of Citizens' Rights of the "Fair Russia" party in 78 regional capitals across Russia.

Burkov has been sharing the interests, goals and objectives of the Fair Russia party since 2007. It was then that he became the Secretary of the Bureau of the Council of the regional branch of the party "Fair Russia: Homeland / Pensioners / Life" in the Sverdlovsk region.


In the same year he became a deputy of the State Duma from spravoorosov. In 2011 he was elected to the Presidium of the Central Council of the party. He headed the committees on transport, housing policy, solved the issues of organizing the preparation and conduct of election campaigns. He worked in the State Duma as the first deputy head of the Just Russia faction. In 2013, the politician was awarded the Medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, II degree.

In October 2017, the President appointed Alexander Burkov Acting Governor of the Omsk Region.


Immediately after the appointment on Twitter, they made a collage of photos of Alexander Burkov and two more appointed heads of regions - (Samara region) and (Nizhny Novgorod region). The creators of the collage noted the striking similarity of officials and began to joke about

"The secret factory of governors and the cloning technology used by the Kremlin."

Personal life

ABOUT personal life the politician does not like to talk. It is only known that Alexander has been together with his beloved wife Tatyana for over 25 years. Young people studied together at UPI, but they began to meet only after graduating from the university and soon got married.


Governor Burkov's wife was born into an intelligent family: mother is an economist, father is an engineer. She was engaged in business, opened several outerwear stores in Yekaterinburg. With the birth of her son Volodya in 2012, she left her job and devoted herself to her family.

The spouses have a joint hobby. Both are fond of cross-country skiing. And the husband is also an avid hunter. Not active in social networks, there is an Instagram account of the press service.

Alexander Burkov now

On September 9, 2018, Alexander Burkov won the election for the governor of the Omsk region, gaining 82.56% of the vote. Despite the fact that his acquaintance with the Siberian region is just beginning (he arrived there for the first time in October 2017), the politician is determined.

Burkov is convinced of the region's high industrial and agricultural potential and intends to implement the existing opportunities.

“A Siberian is not only someone who was born in Siberia, but also someone who came here to live and work. For me, Omsk is not a springboard. I came here for a long time, ”he says.
