Andrey Turchak
Andrey Anatolyevich Turchak is a Russian politician who has served as acting Secretary of the General Council of United Russia from 12 October 2017 and the Senator from Pskov Oblast from 2 November 2017.
Previously, he was the fifth Governor of Pskov Oblast and Senator from the Pskov Oblast. By being appointed as Governor at the age of 33, he became one of Russia's youngest governors.
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.
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.
