The former head of the Primorsky district is considered Valentina Matvienko’s man
05.09.16One of the main personnel intrigues of this season will soon be resolved. According to Interestant, the political elite has found a consensus on the issue of who will represent the legislative branch of government in St. Petersburg in the Federation Council. Andrey Kutepov will become the new senator instead of Lyudmila Kostkina.
On June 10, Lyudmila Kostkina announced her intention to resign as a member of the Federation Council, citing personal reasons. A little later, she clarified that she would retire in September.
Kostkina will be replaced as senator from St. Petersburg by Andrei Kutepov, deputy chief of staff of the Federation Council. During Matvienko’s governorship, he headed the Primorsky district, and after her resignation he received a position in Moscow.
In order to be eligible to be elected to the Senate, you must be a municipal or city deputy. And this is probably why Kutepov is now running for the Legislative Assembly - he is number five on the party list of the party in power. Observers are convinced that this position on the list absolutely guarantees Andrei Viktorovich receiving a “Zaksov” mandate. And then it’s a matter of technique: the city parliament can vote for its new representative in the Federation Council at the very first meeting.
Andrey Kutepov was born on April 6, 1971. Graduated from the Leningrad Naval School. In adulthood I received two higher education- economic and legal. He began his career at the age of 19 as a site foreman at Elektrosila, then (from 1991 to 1997) he worked in business. In 1997-2001 he was deputy director, director of the Mayak cinema, in 2001-2003 - assistant director, deputy director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Directorate for the Construction and Reconstruction of Facilities in the North-Western Federal District". He took part in the construction of the Konstantinovsky Palace. Since 2003 - Advisor, and since 2006 - Leading Advisor to the group for supporting the activities of the Deputy Administrative Director of the President of the Russian Federation in St. Petersburg.
