Background

CPRF faction leader in Moscow City Duma Andrey Klychkov was appointed acting Governor of Oryol Oblast in October 2017, replacing fellow Communist Party member Vadim Potomsky, who resigned at his own request.[2] Klychkov easily won the election for a full term in September 2018 with 83.6% of the vote, defeating four opponents, however, the governor also had the support of United Russia.[3]

Despite Governor Klychkov's early announcement of next gubernatorial campaign in June 2022,[1] rumours of Klychkov's potential resignations have spread. Allegedly lack of accomplishments in economic and political development of Oryol Oblast, as well as inappropriate handling of mobilized troops' assistance led to dissatisfaction with governor's service.[4] On the other hand, Klychkov's appointment was the result of informal arrangements with CPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov, an Oryol Oblast native, while the party held its grip on gubernatorial office since 2014. Among potential Klychkov's replacements were named former Head of Rostourism Zarina Doguzova, First Deputy Governor Vladimir Ivanovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Oryol City Council Vladimir Stroyev (nephew of former Governor Yegor Stroyev), former Moscow Police Commissioner Anatoly Yakunin, Chief Federal Inspector for Moscow Anatoly Belogurov, Oryol Oblast Council of People's Deputies member Vitaly Rybakov and Orthodox Christian activist Gennady Tsurkov.[5]
