In 2 months, the election campaign for the election of the head of Yekaterinburg will begin.

Taking into account holiday Russia, the decision will be published on June 13-14. The nomination of candidates will begin 80 days before Election 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 definiteness, it was decided to consider as applicants those who started explicit advertising campaigns. In (UPImonitor) analyzed the media activity (from the beginning of the year to mid-April) Evgeny Artyukh. Next in line is a 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 headed for six years. political career he started 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 election bloc (in fact, huge campaign networks 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" - 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 participated in the election of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region - and, unexpectedly for Arkady Chernetsky, went to 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 Socialist-Revolutionaries. In 2011, unexpectedly for Alexander Misharin, "Fair Russia" in the city of "collective Chernetsky" in the elections bypassed "United Russia". By education, Burkov is a thermal power engineer. Candidate of Economic Sciences. Married, has a son.

According to , from the beginning of the year to today, Burkov was mentioned in print and electronic media 48 times. Of these, 10 mentions - in the federal media. In fact, he strives to appear as a politician at the federal level, both newspapers and old ones already recognize him as such, and the State Department appears in the regional media less often than other contenders for candidates, but does not climb out, for example, from Channel 4, but also - more importantly! - receives air on (you know, you won’t get there without the approval of the embassy or the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company). Burkov is systematically promoted in regional publications and the "oppositionist" flashes on the government, but on the "opposition" radio station it is mentioned extremely rarely (relative to other "record talkers"). In the media of municipalities appears even less frequently and, for some reason, mostly in Pervouralsk. 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 A Just Russia, the image self-destruction of this party recently does not worsen the image of Burkov himself. It's funny, but if you follow the link from Wikipedia to the page of Burkov the party member, there is a "404 error" hanging there.

Burkov does not promote on such a large scale as the other contenders for mayor, but he is the only one who does this systematically. In offline media, he, as a regional party leader, is practically "not found" (that's why, by the way, he can be nominated even from A Just Russia, even from the Popular Front, even from the June, July, August movement) . But monitoring immediately reveals two main themes. Burkov is "Fair housing and communal services" and "For travel!". Two "public organizations" that are promoted by Burkov and "under Burkov". Of course, these are again some kind of PR phantoms, as in due time various variations"Maya". But both are clearly acting on key points of social tension - the swindle of the population in the housing and communal sector and the mess in the field of public transport. And no matter what. It is important that Burkov, as an experienced politician, is working to build up the nuclear electorate without spreading his thoughts about the agenda. At the same time, 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 turn on the regional authorities.

At the same time, Burkov remains a systemic politician. And he didn’t 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 scammer turned out to be a former assistant, and Burkovu is slightly "hiccups" on a tangent. It hasn't leaked offline yet.

For the first time in all of Russia, Burkov became famous in 1999. Then Eduard Rossel went to a second term, and the mayor of Yekaterinburg, Arkady Chernetsky, decided to compete with him, who was talked into this adventure by the newly-minted "gray eminence" Vladimir Tungusov. It was an epoch-making "battle of industrial and commercial capital." But Rossel's sworn friend Bakov rescued his older comrade by starting a similar adventure with Burkov (in 2003 Bakov will repeat the trick - but personally). The entry into the second round of the odious - at that time - young politician instead of the lordly mayor practically saved the governor's career.

Elections of 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 Burkov's victory, and use it for the total removal of votes from everyone in favor of their other candidate. Tungusov has long forgiven Burkov for the 99th year, since then they have been practically comrades-in-arms. The chief Sverdlovsk Socialist-Revolutionary can arbitrarily deny any connection with the "collective Tungushin", tell any stories to the embassy or residence - their joint venture on December 11th will always be the clearest proof of the effectiveness of the link between a talented political manager and a charismatic young politician.

And among the currently revealed candidates Burkov is still the most charismatic. He is such a "mother-in-law candidate" (evil tongues gossip that

Parents were ordinary working people: father was a crane operator in a rolling mill at a local rolling shaft plant, mother was a cashier at the Goroblagodatskaya railway station. The politician has a 6-year-old brother Victor.


At school, he studied, by his own admission, average, constantly missed the triples in Russian and English, but had a penchant for the exact sciences and physical education. He was involved in athletics, basketball, volleyball.

Political career

In 1994, Burkov became a member of the regional Duma. In 1998, he entered the House of Representatives of the Regional Legislative Assembly for the Kushvinsky District and soon announced the creation of the Industrial Parliament of the Sverdlovsk Region organization, taking the place of its chairman. In particular, he managed to achieve the abolition of the privatization of the Uralmash plant No. 9.


In 1999, the politician participated in the election of the governor of the region, but lost to his main competitor, Eduard Rossel. During the election race, Burkov managed to defend his dissertation at the Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and receive a PhD in Economics.

In the fall of 1999, Burkov headed the Peace, Labor, May bloc, created on his initiative, and in December he took part in the elections to the State Duma of the III convocation (the bloc earned less than 1% of the vote and did not get into the Duma). 8 years later, Alexander Leonidovich became a member of the Just Russia: Motherland-Pensioners-Life party and, after the scandalous departure of Evgeny Roizman and Yakov Nevelev and the split of the party, the chairman of its regional branch.

Personal life of Alexander Burkov

Alexander Leonidovich is married. The politician met his wife Tatyana as 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 has a 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 interim head of the Burkov region.


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 sent into early retirement. Burkov became the only member of A Just Russia among all Russian heads of regions. In early October, information appeared in the media that, before taking up a new position, Burkov, among other candidates for governor, underwent a 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 he made his first steps as a deputy from the Just Russia party, 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 (emphasis 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 rolling mill. Mom worked for railway: from a ticket clerk for 40 years rose to the rank of deputy head of the station.

Alexander Burkov in childhood and his mother

At first, the family - parents and two children (still older brother Victor) - huddled in a communal apartment. Then the factory allocated a separate apartment to the father. Childhood, like many boys of that time, passed in the yard.

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

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

“Yes, and did not strive to be an excellent student,” he says now in an interview.

Humanities subjects were especially "limping" for the student: 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). Becoming a student of the Faculty of Heat and Power, Alexander moved to Sverdlovsk. He lived in a hostel, was a drummer of a construction team. Names student years

"the most fun and interesting part of life."

Career and politics

Burkov graduated from the university in 1989, becoming a thermal power engineer. He immediately got a job in his specialty at the TEA Malachite enterprise. 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 at "black" work, but I was able to earn money and solve the housing problem.


In the early 90s, Alexander Leonidovich tried to do business. He worked in a senior position in a private enterprise "East Line", was responsible for cargo transportation, as they say now, logistics. However, he did not see the application of his knowledge and abilities in business 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 in the center, he earned the position of head of the Department for Regional Policy. By this time, he already has 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, in 1995 Burkov received an important position - deputy chairman of the regional government for state property management. He was engaged in the nationalization of the Ural enterprises, he fought, in his words, against "privatization". He worked in the team at that time the governor Eduard Rossel.

In 1998, due to a conflict with the governor, Burkov left his post and resigned, incl. and parliamentary mandate. But the natives of Kushvin supported the countryman in difficult times and nominated him as a deputy to the regional legislature in the Kushvin district. And soon Burkov organized and led the May movement, the purpose of which 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 voting results, he took second place (28.25%), losing to his former leader, Eduard Rossel. Burkov at that time was 32 years old.

During his time as a politician, Burkov initiated 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 response, implying the reform of the problematic housing and communal services sector in the real interests of the owners.


Later, in 2013, the first congress of the RSDU was held and the Fair Housing and Public Utilities program was presented, the implementation of which is now carried out by the Centers for the Protection of the Rights of Citizens of the Just Russia Party in 78 regional capitals across Russia.

Since 2007, Burkov has shared the interests, goals and objectives of the A Just Russia party. It was then that he became the secretary of the Bureau of the Council of the regional branch of the party "A Just Russia: Motherland / Pensioners / Life" in the Sverdlovsk region.


In the same year, he became a State Duma deputy from the Right Russians. In 2011, he was elected to the Presidium of the Central Council of the Party. He headed the committees on transport, housing policy, and resolved 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 as 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 cloning technologies 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 graduation and soon got married.


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