Oleg Korolev

Oleg Korolev is known as a political long-liver: in 2018 he celebrated 20 years as head of the Lipetsk region. The results of his work in this place are not universally assessed unambiguously, but during the elections, voters have repeatedly shown support for him. The media say that “the time of Korolev’s rule is drawing to a close” and “the presidential administration is already looking for a successor,” but the energetic politician himself has not yet thought of leaving.

Oleg Petrovich Korolev was born on February 23, 1952 in the Lipetsk region, in the small village of Terbuny. In addition to him, the family had five more children. His mother worked as an accountant, and his father worked as an engineer at the local enterprise "Selkhoztekhnika".

After school, the future politician studied at the technical school of forestry, and later at the Saratov Agricultural Institute at the correspondence department. He got his first job in 1973 as a forester in the Terbunsky forestry enterprise. From there he moved to the district administration and began his political career with lower party officials.

In 1978, Oleg Petrovich headed the collective farm "Memory of Ilyich" and remained in this position for 6 years.

In 1985, Korolev became the second secretary of the Dolgorukovsky district committee, and in 1987 he climbed one step higher - to the first secretary. He was dismissed from this post after Oleg Petrovich attended a rally of democrats in Luzhniki and made a speech there. The next year he worked in the Lipetskvodmelioratsia association as general director, after which he returned to political activity.

An important milestone in Korolev's biography was membership in the Council of People's Deputies of the Lipetsk Region. In parallel, he headed the agrarian commission of the regional council. In 1991, he left the ranks of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and remained non-partisan until 2003.

In November 1993, Oleg Petrovich became a member of the Federation Council of the 1st convocation, where he headed the committee on budgetary and financial issues, and later - the committee on agrarian policy. In 1997, he received the title of "Person of the Year" in the political sphere from the Russian Biographical Institute.

Korolev first took the post of governor of the Lipetsk region in 1998. His victory in the elections was bright and memorable: the candidate received 79.38% of the vote, and this despite the fact that the current head Mikhail Narolin - only 13.81%. Until that moment, Oleg Petrovich was considered his confidant, and no one expected that they would compete in the elections, although they did have ideological differences.

Practically all the main parties and movements operating in the region at that time - from the local branch of Yabloko to left-wing radical movements - supported the new in the human field. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation even removed its candidate from the election in his favor, and Gennady Zyuganov personally urged voters to vote for Oleg Korolev.

In April 2002, the governor was re-elected for a second term, and in 2005 he formally resigned ahead of schedule so that Vladimir Putin would officially re-approve him in this position (then the practice of direct election of the governor was temporarily discontinued). During the work of Korolev in the Lipetsk region, industrial production has grown and the inflow of investments has increased. On the other hand, many residents are dissatisfied with the social policy and the quality of the improvement and believe that the region remains poor and dirty.

In 2006, Korolev was recognized as the best governor in the Central Black Earth region according to the results of the rating prepared by the Institute of Political Analysis and Strategies and the publication "Economy and Life".

In 2010, Dmitry Medvedev invited the Lipetsk Regional Council of Deputies to consider Korolev's candidacy for the post of head of the regional administration, and they voted for him almost unanimously (only two were against).

The head of the Lipetsk region has been married for over 30 years. In interviews, he has repeatedly stated that he is strict about family values ​​and condemns divorce.

He and his wife have two adult children, both of whom have chosen a career as a lawyer. Daughter Olga graduated from the law faculty of Moscow State University in 2007, and her son received the same specialty at Voronezh University, after which he also went to public service. Since August 2006, he has been working as a prosecutor in Lipetsk.

His wife Tatyana Pavlovna Koroleva is a pensioner.

Korolev maintains pages on social networks, and his approach to filling is peculiar. On Twitter of the head of the region, there are often obscure entries and posts in the style of "stream of consciousness", over which subscribers have to rack their brains.

In 2018, on behalf of the governor, a post was published commenting on the defeat of the German national team at the World Cup in Russia: the Germans allegedly lost only because at one time they unleashed two wars, and now they are being avenged on the souls of millions of those killed. Later, the scandalous message was deleted, but the screenshots managed to spread across the Internet. Korolev himself denied the post, announcing that his account had been hacked.

As for the income of the head of the region, the declared amounts have grown significantly lately. So, in 2016, his fortune was estimated at 4.2 million rubles, and by the end of 2017 - already at 12.7 million.According to information from unofficial sources, the governor quickly got rich thanks to the competent management of securities.

In 2018, the head was criticized by representatives of the State Duma. The reason was the problem of defrauded real estate investors, of whom there are more than 60 thousand in the region. First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, Alexander Sherin, said that by his inaction in this regard, Korolev compromises the federal government.

In an interview for the Lipetsk Media portal, the governor said that by most economic indicators the region has reached its limit.
