Alexander Burkov: A real war is being waged against a JUST RUSSIA

The situation is commented on by the deputy of the State Duma, leader of the regional branch of the A JUST RUSSIA party in the Sverdlovsk region, Alexander Burkov:
- You also need to understand that the bills that are now being submitted to the Regional Duma and the State Duma in the interests of the majority and against United Russia are proposed only by Just Russia. Only we brought it up for discussion by the State Duma and forced the ruling party to consider a bill on the indexation of public sector wages.

Today in our regional Duma there is a bill in which we say that social benefits have not been indexed since 2008. And the inflation index for the city in this case is 8-10%. This means that over the years, social benefits have fallen in price by 25%. They are silent about this. These laws are simply inconvenient for the ruling party.

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 the railway: from a ticket clerk for 40 years, she rose to deputy head 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, ”recalls the governor.

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 in an interview now.

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, following 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 initiated several social movements and organizations: "Industrial Parliament of the Sverdlovsk Region", "For social guarantees 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 other 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

The politician does not like to talk about his personal life. 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.
