Coming into politics

Back in 1982, a new member named Vladimir Churov was registered with the CPSU. The biography of almost everyone who tried to build a good career in those days, contained such a mark. "You can not be a communist in the soul, but you have to enter the party" - here it is, the unofficial slogan of the eighties.

Member of the CPSU Churov stayed until the very collapse of the Soviet Union. Some attribute to him cooperation with the KGB, but officially this is not confirmed.

From the ninetieth year, Vladimir Mikhailovich "deputed" in the Leningrad City Council - his powers ended in 1993. In parallel, I worked in the Committee for External Relations of the Petersburg Administration. His boss was directly Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin himself, which Vladimir Churov often recalls and calls this period of his life an excellent school of government.

In 2003, Churov tried to get membership in the Federation Council from his region (Leningrad), but he failed. In the same year, Vladimir Mikhailovich, closely associating with Vladimir Zhirinovsky, joined the ranks of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.

Deputy of the State Duma

It was from this political force that the former subordinate of Putin ran for the State Duma in the 2003 elections. Having received the mandate, he joined the corresponding faction. At the same time, he stressed more than once that in fact he had never been a member of the LDPR and any other party.

The parliamentarians entrusted Churov with the post of deputy chairman for CIS affairs and relations with former compatriots. More than once he acted as an observer of the elections in the countries of the commonwealth, as well as in Serbia and Transnistria.

Political activities: Vladimir Churov - Chairman of the Central Election Commission

Until January 2007, Russian law prohibited the granting of membership to the CEC to persons without a jural education. But then this demand was canceled, and on March 26 of the same year Churov became a member of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation. And a day later he was elected chairman.

September 2007 was marked by the start of the next elections to the State Duma, and Putin, who headed United Russia, was accused of wrongfully agitating for this political force. But Churov did not heed the arguments of the prosecutors, and they did not take any actions.

In 2009, in elections to local councils with a total separation were United Russia. The opposition staged a demarche and demanded the resignation of the head of the CEC - in fact Churov Vladimir again did not see violations ...

And again, "United Russia" on horseback. Crowds of Protestants came to the streets of large cities of the country. Dissatisfied held many thousands of rallies and demanded, among other things, the resignation of Churov, who resolutely rejected all charges against him. Then he with great difficulty stayed in his post and left it in the legal order, after serving the second term until the end.

It was Churov, who was accused of lobbying Putin's interests, that the phrase "Putin is always right" belongs to him. And Vladimir Churov, whose photo has repeatedly flashed in the media in recent years, threatened to shave off his legendary beard, if the election campaign is dishonest. But of course, he did not shave it. However, the accusations of the opposition were not proven, and were simply words.

In the tax declarations, Mr. Churov repeatedly pointed out that their family does not have personal housing, but rents an apartment from the state. He also signed in the absence of auto. And his annual income, according to reports, was 2.5-3.5 million.

There is in the writer's piggy bank Churova and other works.

Also the former head of the central executive committee and the deputy of the State Duma is fond of art, or rather, photo and architecture. Having survived to adulthood, Churov Vladimir remained a faithful son of his intelligent parents who instilled in him a love of knowledge from his young nails.
