Andrey Anatolyevich Turchak (Russian: Андрей Анатольевич Турчак; born 20 December 1975, Leningrad, RSFSR, USSR) is a Russian politician who has served as acting Secretary of the General Council of United Russia from 12 October 2017[1] and the Senator from Pskov Oblast from 2 November 2017.[2]
Previously, he was the fifth Governor of Pskov Oblast (2009–2017) and Senator from the Pskov Oblast (2007–2009).[3] By being appointed as Governor at the age of 33, he became one of Russia's youngest governors.[4]
In 2013, Alexei Navalny released documents showing that Turchak had neglected to declare a $1.7 million villa that he had purchased in France, an illegal omission under Russian law.[5]
In 2015, reporter Oleg Kashin accused Turchak of ordering an attack which left Kashin in a coma with a fractured skull. Kashin alleged that Turchak arranged the attack in response to a critical blog post.[6]
