Valentin Olegovich Konovalov (Russian: Валенти́н Оле́гович Конова́лов; born November 30, 1987) is a Russian politician who has served as the Head of Khakassia since 2018.[1] He was a local politician before assuming the office.
A member of the Communist Party, he was supported by the right-wing LDPR in his successful bid to unseat the incumbent head Viktor Zimin of the ruling United Russia party, highlighting a rise in anti-establishment sentiment in the country during the period. Coordinated efforts to prevent him from winning the second round garnered national attention, with a similar situation occurring during his successful for re-election in 2023.[2] Konovalov has described tackling corruption as the focus of his governorship.
