The Governor of Russia is the highest official at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, heading the local executive state power. Due to the federal structure of the country, the official title of the position of a person performing the functions of a governor may be different: governor, president of the republic, chairman of the government, head, mayor of the city. So who are they - the governors of Russia? There are eighty-four regions and territories equivalent to them, and each has its own governor.
Elections and appointments
The origins of the institute of governorship in Russia date back to the times of Imperial Russia. Then they were interrupted by the Soviet period. Although, of course, the governor's functions were performed, for example, by the chairmen of the regional executive committees of the CPSU, but formally there were no governors.
According to the Constitution, in the new Russia, the governors of the territories are elected by the general vote of the inhabitants of the region, and then approved by the President. In case of resignation of the governor or other reasonsThe President of Russia has the right to appoint an acting interim until the next election. Thus, on September 9 (single voting day) 2018, there will be fewer temporary performers.

Record breakers
Dmitry Artyukhov became the youngest governor in the history of the Russian Federation on May 29 this year. The interim head of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was born on February 17, 1988. That is, Dmitry Andreevich is full 30 years old.
The most experienced governor today is 68-year-old (1949-11-08) Dagestani leader Vladimir Abdualievich Vasiliev. Although he, like the youngest, is also only acting.
The oldest governor in the history of Russia is the ex-head of the Kemerovo region Aman Tuleyev. The infamous fire in the "Winter Cherry" and he alth problems forced Aman Gumirovich to resign on April 1 of this year. At that time he was 73 years old.
However, Tuleev, despite his age, is not the record holder for the amount of time in the governor's post. "Unsinkable" Governor of Belgorodregion Evgeny Savchenko, like Tuleev, was the head of the region under all Russian presidents, starting in 1993 (since Tuleev since 1996), and daily improves the record, as he is still the current governor.
Artyukhov could be called the newest governor, but Vasily Orlov (Amur Region) and Viktor Tomenko (Altai Territory) took up their duties a day later - May 30.
Average governor
Let's try to form an average image of the Russian governor. In many ways, he will be similar to the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov.
Man (only three women). Year of birth - within 1960-1970. Higher education. Long career in government. Party "United Russia" (non-party only a few, the Communist Party - two, LDPR - one).
Well, for future governors, let's say that your chances of taking this post will increase if your name is Sergey or Alexander, and your last name is Orlov. It is with such names that most governors are now.
