Biography
Aleksandr Drozdenko was born on November 1, 1964 in the village of Akzhar in the Zhambyl region of the Kazakh SSR.[3]
In 1986, he graduated from the Leningrad Agricultural Institute with a degree in Economics and Organization of Agriculture.
From 1988 to 1993, Drozdenko worked as chairman of the Kingisepp City Council of People's Deputies, and then went to work in the mayor's office in Kingisepp district, where from 1993 to 1995, he managed to work in various positions—from the deputy mayor and vice-mayor to acting mayor of the district.
In 1996, Aleksandr Drozdenko was elected mayor of Kingisepp district, head of the municipal formation "Kingiseppsky District". He worked in this position until 2002.
On November 6, 2002, he was appointed vice-governor of the Leningrad Oblast by the order of the Governor of the Leningrad Region, Valery Serdyukov. He was also promoted to chairman of the Leningrad Regional Committee for State Property Management, and head of the territorial agency of the Ministry of Property of Russia for the Leningrad region.
In 2006 he defended his thesis on the topic: "Investigation of the management system of the investment and construction complex as an integration education and its improvement". According to analysis carried out by the Dissernet community, the thesis of Drozdenko contains large-scale undocumented borrowings from several Ph.D. theses and books.[4][5][6]
On May 5, 2012, the 3rd Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, submitted Drozdenko to the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region as a candidate for the Governor of the Leningrad Oblast. Seven days later, the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Oblast approved him as the Governor of the Leningrad Oblast, and his inauguration was held May 28, 2012.[7]
On May 12, 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed documents firing the Governor of the Leningrad region, Drozdenko. The same decree temporarily appointed an acting governor of the Leningrad region.[8]
According to preliminary data, in the governor elections held on September 13, 2015, Drozdenko scored 82.1% of the vote with the turnout of 44.52%.[9]
After the 2017 Saint Petersburg metro bombing, a mourning was held in Saint Petersburg. Mayor Georgi Poltavchenko, Drozdenko, and President Vladimir Putin visited the site and laid flowers to pay their respects.
