Gennady Andreevich Zyuganov - Soviet and Russian politician, head of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. He ran four times for the presidency and each time was in second place.

Gennady Andreevich was born one hundred kilometers from the ancient city of Oryol, in the village of Mymrino. His parents were school teachers: his mother, Marfa Petrovna, taught primary classes, and his father, Andrei Mikhailovich, who lost his leg in the battles near Sevastopol during the Great Patriotic War, taught almost all subjects in a rural school, with the exception of languages. By the way, Gennady Zyuganov has a real surname, not a pseudonym, although such rumors are common. He is Russian by nationality and Cancer by his zodiac sign.

By the way, the first place of work in the biography of Gennady Zyuganov was also his native school, which he graduated with a silver medal. After one year of teaching, the young man decided to get a higher education, became a student at the Oryol Pedagogical Institute and graduated with honors from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. For three years, Gennady Zyuganov spent his compulsory army service in East Germany in a radiation and chemical reconnaissance platoon, and after being demobilized, he began to teach at the Pedagogical Institute.

It is noteworthy that after the first two defeats, Gennady Andreevich raised the issue of violations in the election campaign. Later, he called on Boris Yeltsin to voluntarily resign, and having received a refusal, he officially put the issue of impeachment of the president to a vote, but Zyuganov's supporters did not get the required minimum of votes on any item.

After the first loss to Vladimir Putin, the head of the Communist Party sent a deputy request to the Prosecutor General's Office and demanded to initiate a case against the new president, since, according to Zyuganov, Putin was campaigning outside the time allowed for United Russia. However, in the speech of Vladimir Vladimirovich, law enforcement agencies did not find anything illegal. And after the 2012 presidential elections, Gennady Andreevich Zyuganov turned out to be the only candidate who ran for office who did not recognize the results of the vote count.
