Biography
[edit]Mikhailov was born in the village of Kosorzha in the Kursk Oblast on 15 September 1951. He studied mechanical engineering, graduating from Kharkov Institute of Railway Transport Engineers (now the Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport) in the year 1974. As a student, he was a member of the Komsomol. In 1985, he received a Candidate of Science— equivalent to a DPhil or PhD in the Anglosphere, in history from the Rostov Higher Party School.
From the late 1970s until the dissolution of the USSR, Mikhailov held various local offices in the Communist Party. After the ban on the Communist Party in 1991, he joined the Socialist Workers' Party, switching to newly reformed Communist Party of the Russian Federation at its inception in 1993. In 1993 he was elected to the 1st Convocation of the State Duma from the Kursk constituency of Kursk Oblast. He was re-elected from his constituency to the 2nd State Duma in 1995, and in 1999 he was elected as part of the CPRF party list.
Mikhailov resigned from the State Duma in November 2000 to become the Governor of his native Kursk Oblast,[1] an office he held until resigning in 2018.[2] In 2004, he switched to the ruling United Russia political party. A few months after resigning from his position as governor, Mikhailov was appointed a to represent Kursk Oblast in the Federation Council.
Mikhailov died on the way to the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest at a political event in Kursk on 4 December 2020.[3]
In 2010, Mikhailov became involved in a controversy over antisemitic remarks.[4]
