Biography

Sergey Zhvachkin was born on 20 January 1957 in the city of Molotov, Soviet Union, which is now known as Perm. He graduated from Tyumen State University of Engineering and Construction in 1979 and the Gorky Institute of Engineering and Construction in 1983. In the 1980's and 1990's he was a manager in various capacities at oil and gas companies in Tomsk Oblast. In 1991, he graduated from an economics institute in Kiel, Germany.[1]

In 1999, he was elected to the Tomsk Duma. He served on the economic policy committee as well as the committee for natural resources, oil and gas industry and energy. He was appointed as the general director of Kubangazprom, a subsidiary of Gazprom in 2004, but continued to serve on the Tomsk Duma. In 2007, he was appointed at the head of Gazprom-TransGaz-Krasnodar, which coincided with the end of his term in the Duma.[1]

From 1999 to 2012, he was also the President of the soccer team, FC Tom Tomsk.[1]

In 2012, Viktor Kress stepped down and was appointed to the Federation Council (Russia). In accordance with the procedure at the time, the Legislative Duma of Tomsk presented three candidates to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, including Zhvachkin, the Duma speaker Sergey Ilinykh and the rector of Tomsk Polytechnic University Petr S. Chubik. Medvedev nominated Zhvachkin and presented him to the Duma for confirmation on 2 February 2012.[2] The Duma of Tomsk confirmed him in his position on 15 February 2012.[3] He assumed the governorship on 17 March 2012.[4]

On 21 February 2017, ahead of the direct election for governors, Zhvachkin resigned and was immediately appointed as acting governor by Vladimir Putin.[5] On 10 September 2017, Zhvachkin won a full term in the 2017 gubernatorial election with 60.58% of the vote.[6]
