Английская Википедия:2021 Belgorod Oblast gubernatorial election
The 2021 Belgorod Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 17–19 September 2021, on common election day, coinciding with election to the State Duma. Acting Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov was elected for his first full term.[1]
Background
On 22 September 2020 longtime Governor Yevgeny Savchenko was elected to the Federation Council by the Belgorod Oblast Duma. He resigned from the governorship which he held from 1993 being the longest-serving Russian Governor.[2] He won his last gubernatorial election in 2017 with 69.29% of the vote.[3]
After Savchenko's resignation First Vice Governor Denis Butsayev became acting Governor of Belgorod Oblast. Butsayev's position of First Vice Governor was created several hours before Savchenko announced his resignation with the sole intent of Butsayev to take the governorship.[4] However, Denis Butsayev was not confirmed as acting Governor by the President, which created speculations about appointment of another acting Governor. Among the considered candidates was federal Minister of Transport Yevgeny Dietrich (he left the Russian Government on 9 November).[5] On 18 November 2020 President Vladimir Putin appointed Vice Governor of Stavropol Krai Vyacheslav Gladkov as acting Governor of Belgorod Oblast.[6] Gladkov previously held the positions of Vice Governor of Sevastopol (2016–2018) and Mayor of ZATO Zarechny (2009–2016).
It was reported that incumbent Senator from Belgorod Oblast and former Soviet Premier (1985–1991) Nikolay Ryzhkov won't be re-appointed to the Federation Council, however, he was nominated to the Federation Council by Vyacheslav Gladkov and later re-appointed.[7]
