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 use 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. 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 couple share a common hobby. Both are fond of cross-country skiing. My husband is also an avid hunter. He is not active in social networks, he has an Instagram account of the press service.

Alexander Burkov now

On September 9, 2018, Alexander Burkov won the election of 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 high industrial and agricultural potential of the region and intends to realize the existing opportunities.

“A Siberian is not only one who was born in Siberia, but also one who came here to live and work. For me, Omsk is not a springboard. I came here for the long haul,” he says.
As the press service of the TFR reported, a criminal case of attempted fraud was opened against Vladimir Myasin and Leonid Karagod, assistants on a voluntary basis to the Socialist-Revolutionary deputies Konstantin Beschetnov and Alexander Burkov. According to investigators, they extorted 7.5 million euros from an unnamed citizen for including him in the lists of candidates for deputies of the State Duma of the next convocation.

Svetlana Bocharova, Ekaterina Vinokurova, Anna Cherkasova

[…] According to the investigation, Myasin and Karagod worked as assistants to deputies on a voluntary basis. Deputies Beschetnov and Burkov on Monday disowned these people altogether. Thus, Deputy Bechetnov told Gazeta.Ru that he did not know about whom in question: “Myasin is not my assistant even on a voluntary basis. This is the first time I hear the name and surname of this person.”

Burkov confirmed that he knew Karagod: for three years he was listed as his assistant and worked in the protocol department of the central office of the SR, but a week before the incident at the National, he resigned of his own free will.

["Novye Izvestia", 07/12/2011, "Political scam" for Okhotny Ryad": The conspiratorial "mediation institution", which Myasin represents, clearly demonstrates a fraudulent scheme, believes Viktor Kostromin, chairman of the Center for Combating Corruption in State Authorities. The expert assures that the direct purchase of seats in parliament took place five or six years ago, but today it is a meaningless exercise. Therefore, it is not worth considering 7.5 million euros as a fixed fee for a deputy's seat. “It's just that now there is another way to enter the party lists. This is when a person who has finances and wants to participate in politics helps the party financially, and only then can his candidacy be considered for getting into the electoral lists. And everything that goes along the "cache" line is a deliberate deception. Always before the elections, Ostap Benders are activated, who are engaged in taking banknotes from too gullible citizens, ”Mr. Kostromin explained to NI.[…]
Deputy Konstantin Beschetnov said yesterday that he heard the name and surname of his alleged assistant for the first time. Even on a voluntary basis, no Vladimir Myasin works for him. But, despite the deputy's attempts to disown the social assistant who traded deputy seats, one can still say that Mr. Myasin for A Just Russia is not just a man from the street. According to information available to NI, Vladimir Myasin was a regional political strategist for the Socialist-Revolutionaries. In last year's December election campaign, he oversaw the Belgorod region, and in the March 2010 elections, Mr. Myasin was a representative of the Kaluga regional branch of A Just Russia.
As for Myasin's wanted accomplice, Leonid Karagod, his Duma boss, deputy Alexander Burkov, wonders how this person can be involved in such a case at all. […] However, according to some reports, Leonid Karagod is also far from being an ordinary public figure. A couple of years ago, he worked as deputy head of the department special projects Party "Fair Russia". - Inset K.ru]

“What happened was a surprise to me ... Karagod seemed to me an adult who had seen life,” Burkov told Gazeta.Ru. - All this reminds me of some kind of pre-election games, I don’t know the second person at all. Maybe some kind of provocation ... Although, of course, it is difficult to vouch for a person in this situation.

An informed source in United Russia told Gazeta.ru that Konstantin Shirshov, a State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, was also detained at the place where the money was transferred. This information was confirmed by the deputy from EP Alexander Khinshtein.

Konstantin Shirshov
Referring to his law enforcement sources, Khinshtein said that Shirshov was indeed at the place where the intermediaries were detained and was directly involved in all discussions of the details of the deal. According to the deputy, the operatives recorded the process of transferring money with a hidden camera. Shirshov was detained along with Myasin and "other unidentified persons", but after presenting a certificate of a State Duma deputy, he was released. […]

In A Just Russia, the incident is considered a provocation. “This is a rather strange message, and everything needs to be sorted out in detail, but this is very similar to an election provocation,” Mikhail Yemelyanov, first deputy head of the Just Russia faction in the State Duma, told Interfax. He drew attention to the fact that the accusations of selling places on the list of United Russia were made against people "who do not determine anything in the party."

The version of a provocation is also supported by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. “This funny trajectory looks too caricatured, as if something will be transferred from A Just Russia through the Communist Party to the presidential administration for United Russia. This is the wildest fantasy that can be born. I had to re-read the message about this story three times in order to understand who wanted what and what, ”Ivan Melnikov, deputy chairman of the State Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, told Gazeta.ru. The moral, according to the communist, is that deputies should be more attentive to the formation of a staff of public assistants, "each deputy has four dozen."

Evgeny Minchenko, head of the International Institute of Political Expertise, did not rule out provocations either.

“It is impossible to get into the lists of parties by transferring something to someone through someone else. You can get a seat for money, that is, for some kind of contributions to the party, when everything is done semi-officially and an agreement is drawn up, ”the expert explained.

The reason for such incidents is the lack of a civilized market in Russia that would allow businessmen interested in this to get into the State Duma, Pavel Tolstykh, head of the Center for the Study of Interaction between Business and Government, believes. Prior to 2004, interested citizens could run in a single-member district without being affiliated with political parties, now there is no such possibility, the expert says.

There are no official rules for inclusion in party lists of candidates, so the situation forces us to look for “people who will ensure proper communication” in the party apparatus, giving a chance to get into the State Duma, or people in the internal administration of the presidential administration who oversee the process of compiling party lists and influencing the composition of the future parliament, noted Tolstykh. In civilized countries, a businessman will be offered to invest a certain amount in the election campaign and start showing social activity in order to get on the list, the Gazeta.Ru interlocutor said. In Russia, in fact, the same thing is happening, but because of the uncivilized market, there are a lot of scammers on it, the expert says.

According to Tolstoy's estimates, 40-60% of the seats in the State Duma were, however, occupied in this way. The expert considers the amount of 7.5 million euros to be real, in other Duma parties the passing seats are estimated cheaper, the cheapest ones are in A Just Russia, whose chances of getting into the future composition of the State Duma are not yet obvious. The scheme described by the TFR for selling a place on the list of United Russia does not surprise the expert: assistants to deputies from one party could well know the right people in another.

Alexander Leonidovich Burkov - Russian politician, acting governor of the Omsk region since October 2017, elected governor in September 2018. Included in the State Duma (from V to VII convocation) from the Just Russia faction.

early years

Alexander Burkov, who received the name in honor of Alexander Nevsky, was born on April 23, 1967 in small town Kushva near Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). 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. From a young age, he was distinguished by patriotism - he went to the lessons of military-patriotic education with pleasure, he thought about entering a military school, but was rejected for his eyesight.


After graduating from school, Burkov entered the Faculty of Thermal Power Engineering and Thermal Engineering of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. Kirov (Sverdlovsk). From the first year he was an active "construction team member", he still fondly recalls the days spent in the "Prometheus" student team. Having received a diploma in thermal power engineering in 1989, Burkov began working at the Sverdlovsk TAL Malachite plant.

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.


In the winter of 2007, the young politician was elected to the State Duma of the 5th convocation - Burkov began working in the transport committee. In the spring of 2011, at the V Congress of A Just Russia in the capital, Burkov became a member of the Presidium of the Central Council.

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.


According to tax return, in 2016 the politician earned 4.5 million rubles, his wife - 480 thousand rubles. Burkov owns: a house with an area of ​​37 sq.m., a plot of 24 acres and 1/2 apartment with an area of ​​180 sq.m. His wife has 1/4 of the land plot, 1/4 of the house with an area of ​​325 sq.m., 1/4 of the apartment with an area of ​​71 sq.m. and an apartment of 43 sq.m.

In his free time, Burkov enjoys hunting.

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.

The trend of the outgoing year was the complete emasculation of at least some independence from the institute of heads of subjects of the federation.

Analysts of the Kompromat-Ural portal note.

Benefits for the country from "de-federation" is not visible. At the time of the cancellation of full-fledged gubernatorial elections, they explained to us that this measure would become an effective barrier to the transit of crime to power. But according to the content of the criminal cases of Vyacheslav Gaiser, Alexander Khoroshavin, Alexander Solovyov, Leonid Markelov and other regional appointee barons, there is an obvious assumption that there is only more criminals in power, and the scale of corruption has increased many times over. Moreover, the listed criminal governors are only those who were allowed to be captured. How much is really "sawed", it's scary to imagine. So why not return the good old elections instead of the current miserable parody with municipal and other filters? For many, the answer is obvious: in the current "stable" scheme, it is much more convenient to divide the regional seats between "their own". And saw, saw, saw...

One of these “friends” in 2017 was the 50-year-old Sverdlovsk businessman and politician Alexander Burkov, who was seated by Moscow to rule in Omsk. In the turbulent 90s, he, in the role of "local Chubais", "steered" privatization in the Sverdlovsk region in the team of the then governor Eduard Rossel. Then he organized the May movement, whose methods by today's standards would be recognized as ultra-extremist (remember, for example, the spontaneous intrusions of Burkov's "stormtroopers" into administrative buildings and the forcible seizure of bureaucratic offices!). Against this background, the opposition actions of Alexei Navalny are just games in the sandbox and a model of civility. As the observer of the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural recalls, Burkov’s implacable opponent in the “May” period of his career was Andrey Kozitsyn, the general director of the nascent UMMC Holding, who also tried himself in elections and public politics then. With the money of the novice oligarch, Yekaterinburg television workers produced propaganda films about the "political adventurer" Burkov, in which the May movement was characterized as openly fascist.

Heil Burkov!

It was fun time. By the way, in hilling up the political clearing, Burkov was helped by his then comrade-in-arms in "grabbing" and a bright participant in the raider showdowns Anton Bakov. Kozitsyn, to put it mildly, did not like him either, and by force, under the cover of Rossel, squeezed him out of the Serov Metallurgical Plant. But creative enthusiasm is a thing of the past. To date, both "maytsy" live in abundance from "honestly earned" in the dashing 90s and prudently turned into supporters of the "majestic" statehood. The more imposing Bakov has gone headlong into the monarchy and is driving around the world with a sham crown Russian empire: who would take?

And to the active Burkov, without the slightest experience of even municipal or industrial leadership, but able to keep his nose strictly to the wind, the Kremlin recently gave the governorship in the Omsk region without any elections. Here, command your health ... Andrey Anatolyevich probably crossed himself: what a blessing that Omsk is not a priority for him! According to the editors of Kompromat-Ural, the holding had a small asset, UMMC-Vtortsvetmet Omsk (TIN 5507226205), and even that was liquidated in 2014. A terrible dream of young Kozitsyn from the time of the creation of the UMMC comes true. He flies with his entourage to meet with a large local boss, politely and courteously agree on corporate projects. And in an important office he was met by a former "May" rogue and, as it turned out, not a fascist at all, but a whole governor, Alexander Leonidovich Burkov! This is not an irony of fate - rather, Homeric laughter.

Interlocutors of the Kompromat-Ural editorial staff among informed Omsk residents do not expect fundamental improvements for the region from Burkov. “Strange, I would say, a random guest performer - that's what it looks like. What is his background? Command? Here and there ... To speak at rallies and on the sidelines of Mironova to intrigue – is this an experience for the first person in Omsk? Maybe his friend with an Armenian surname will come from Yekaterinburg, they will master the road budgets, ”the Omsk deputy, who asked not to publish her name, is indignant. Apparently, the “friend” in terms of road budgets is the infamous Armen Karapetyan, businessman and deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region from A Just Russia. Thanks to Burkov, the odious businessman Karapetyan, even after the most shameful stories, not only retained his deputy mandate, but also received a second place on the party list. Sources who know Burkov's relationship with the brawler Karapetyan point to a "motivating financial factor."

However, for a new Omsk Governor not only and not so much the deputies are watching. His activities are of interest to the regional prosecutor Anastas Spiridonov, head of the FSB Vasily Kondratenko, Head of the Investigative Committee of the TFR Andrew Kondin, Head of the Regional Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Leonid Kolomiets and other security officials of the Omsk Region and the Siberian Federal District sharpened to fight corruption.

The draw in the CEC to determine the places of parties on the ballot in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation

Well, well, how much will stick this time?

Omsk colleagues asked the editors of Kompromat-Ural to cover "personal dossiers" on VIP officials surrounding the Varangian Burkov in the regional leadership. The first among them is the chief of his apparatus. Yuri Karyuchin. More recently, he literally defended the previous governor with his back Victor Nazarov from press questions about the resignation, but now the resignation has taken place, and Karyuchin is serving the new boss. So, Petrovich will lay down his bones for the new boss? Two years ago, incriminating information was published in the media regarding Karyuchin. The text caused irritation and was even censored removed from some Omsk resources. From it one gets the opinion that the sly Karyuchin will really find a common language with the privatizer-"mayts" Burkov.
