Following the escalation of 1993 Russian constitutional crisis the governors had to choose whether to support the parliament or the president. Those who chose the losing side, were later removed from office by the president. Among them were governors of Amur and Bryansk Oblasts Aleksandr Surat and Yury Lodkin,[5] both serving only six months.

Notes[]

  1. ^ First elections were held in October–November 1991 with no candidate to win
  2. ^ Sumin's election was recognized by the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Soviet of Russia, but not the President of Russia. For the next six months Chelyabinsk Oblast had two administrations, led by Sumin and Solovyov respectively. After the dispersal of the Supreme Soviet of Russia in October 1993, Solovyov was reapproved as the head of administration.
  3. ^ First elections were held in December 1991 with no candidate to win
