Sergey Furgal

Sergei Furgal, who won the gubernatorial elections in the Khabarovsk Territory with a convincing result of 69.62%, is a person with a difficult biography. It includes a medical education and a job as a doctor, a shuttle business, a timber trade and a sharp breakthrough in politics.

For him, the 2018 elections are almost a mirror image of the situation in 2013, when he competed for the governor's seat with the same candidate from United Russia, Vyacheslav Shport, but this time he got most of the votes.

Sergei Ivanovich Furgal, Russian by nationality, was born in the village of Poyarkovo in the Amur Region on January 12, 1970 in a large family - he has the 10th child of his parents. His three brothers - Alexei, Yuri and Vyacheslav - later also made successful political careers. As a child, Sergei wanted to become a doctor, so after graduating from school he entered the medical institute in Blagoveshchensk.

In 1992, Furgal returned to his native village and got a job at the local district hospital. For the next 7 years he worked there as a neurologist and therapist. After Sergei Ivanovich decided to go into business. He started out as a shuttle trade in Chinese goods, then went into the sale of timber and ferrous metals. In 2000, the businessman headed the Alkuma enterprise, and 5 years later - the Mif-Khabarovsk LLC. He joined the ranks of the Liberal Democratic Party and invested in the development of the local branch of the party.

In 2005, the politician was elected to the Legislative Duma of the Khabarovsk Territory, and his name led the list of candidates for the Liberal Democratic Party. He eventually received the mandate, but worked as a deputy on a non-permanent basis. A year later, Furgala was appointed head of the branch of the State Expertise of Projects of the Ministry of Emergency Situations - a structure that is in charge of eliminating situations potentially dangerous to the population or the environment.

In 2007, Sergei Ivanovich was elected to the State Duma of the V convocation on the lists of the Liberal Democratic Party, where he was engaged in federation affairs and regional politics. For his work, he received a Certificate of Honor with the wording “for his contribution to the development of parliamentarism in Russia”.

At the same time, Furgal received an appropriate professional education: he graduated from the Russian Academy of Civil Service and received a master's degree in economics. In 2011, he again became a State Duma deputy. 4 years later, the Health Protection Committee was transferred to the jurisdiction of the LDPR, and it was Sergei Ivanovich who headed it.

In 2018, the next gubernatorial elections were announced in the Khabarovsk Territory. We had to hold 2 rounds, since in the first one none of the candidates got the obligatory 50 + 1% of the votes. As a result, two contenders remained in the final of the race - Sergey Furgal from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and Vyacheslav Shport from United Russia.

This time, residents of the region expressed their preferences more explicitly: United Russia got less than 20% of the vote. According to the chairman of the local electoral commission, the elections were fair and their outcome can be considered final, the only problem was "an unprecedented level of information waste."

Shport and Furgal were never considered bitter opponents. In 2013, they already turned out to be electoral contenders, and the advantage towards the United Russia candidate turned out to be significant (almost 70%). Vyacheslav Shport spent 9 years as governor and, according to political scientists (in particular, Alexei Chadayev), kept Sergei Ivanovich with him as an informal adviser.

According to rumors, in 2018, Furgal was supposed to become a "technical" candidate: Shport was so confident of victory that he almost did not run the election campaign and offered his rival from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia the post of first deputy. He accepted the offer, but did not withdraw from the elections, and their results, especially the distribution of votes, surprised many. Already in the 1st round, Furgal bypassed the incumbent governor, albeit by a fraction of a percent, and in the 2nd round, the gap increased significantly. The elected governor himself considers the results to be logical:

The politician does not refuse the idea of ​​cooperation with a defeated rival: according to his statement, if Shport proposes something effective to improve the life of the Khabarovsk Territory, he is ready to discuss it with him.

The politician is married. His wife Larisa Starodubova, a businesswoman, is a member of the founders of Stalkom, Torex-Khabarovsk, and the managing company of Amurstal. The governor does not appear in public with his wife, and photos with his family are not published anywhere.

The couple have three children. The eldest son Anton is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, in 2004 he ran for the regional duma.

Sergey's brother Vyacheslav Furgal is a deputy of the regional Legislative Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party, Alexei is a deputy of the Legislative Assembly in the Amur Region, Yuri is a deputy of the city of Zeya.

The total amount of income of the elected governor for 2017, reflected in the declaration, is 4.65 million rubles. In addition, he owns 3 land plots, 2 houses, 2 apartments and a Lexus LX570 car.

The politician has a website on which the provisions of his election program are published, and an account on Instagram.

When asked by journalists about what changes should be expected for the residents of the region after his coming to power, Sergei Ivanovich promised first of all to deal with benefits and healthcare, as well as renovation of the housing stock (in an interview he called this "getting rid of the long-term shame of wooden barracks").

Furgal said that the administration does not have time for transformations, and must act quickly: the status of the capital of the Far East goes to Vladivostok, and every effort must be made to return it to Khabarovsk.

The elected governor is not going to increase the number of positions in the government to create a team, but he considers it necessary to optimize the staff:
