The author of the resonant statement about scooter riders is running for the State Duma from the Sverdlovsk region
April 24, 2026 The main contender for the mandate of a deputy of the State Duma for the Nizhny Tagil single-member district has been determined, reports the publication v-tagile.ru.
The head of the public relations department of UGMK and current deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk region Alexey Svalov has submitted documents to participate in the primaries of "United Russia," writes the Tagil portal.
Previously, people associated with Uralvagonzavod or EVRAZ NTMK represented Nizhny Tagil in the upper echelons of legislative power, the publication notes. Currently, Nizhny Tagil is represented in the State Duma by Konstantin Zakharov, a former employee of UVZ.
However, there are no coincidences in this case: on the eve of the 2026 elections, the boundaries of electoral districts were changed, resulting in the inclusion of Sredneuralsk and Verkhnyaya Pyshma (the stronghold of UGMK) into the Nizhny Tagil single-member district.
Moreover, 41-year-old Alexey Svalov is a native of Nizhny Tagil, the son of the director of the Nizhny Tagil boiler and radiator plant, German Svalov, who died in 2003, reports v-tagile.ru.
In an interview with "Tagil Worker," the Sverdlovsk deputy named the most pressing issue in Nizhny Tagil as the shortage of personnel in the social sphere (education, healthcare) and production. In the event of his election, he promises to lobby for the interests of industrial Ural and attract federal funding. Svalov sees this as the main task of a State Duma deputy.
"And if the territory has no voice and a good lobbyist, the money will go to another, more persistent territory," he said in the interview.
In Yekaterinburg, Alexey Svalov's name is associated with the story of the art object "Go to the Forest" near the Main Post Office and the statement that normal heterosexual men do not ride scooters.
