Head of the Altai Republic
The head of the Altai Republic (Russian: Глава Республики Алтай, romanized: Glava Respubliki Altay, Altay: Алтай Республиканыҥ башкарузы, romanized: Altay Respublikanıñ başqaruzı) is the head of the republic and government of Altai Republic, the federal subject of Russia. The head of the Republic is elected by the citizens of Altai Republic for five years.
The powers of The head of the Republic are regulated by chapters 10 and 11 of the Constitution of the Altai Republic.
Since the first free election of 1990, the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Oblast, then a devolved entity within Altai Krai, was effectively governed as a parliamentary republic with chairman of the Council (Soviet) of People's Deputies serving as the head of state. In 1991, the oblast declared itself a separate federal subject of Russia, the Gorno-Altai ASSR, later renamed Altai Republic. Following a snap legislative election in December 1991, the Council of People's Deputies and the executive committee were replaced with the Supreme Soviet and Government of the Republic. Their respective chairmen, Valery Chaptynov and Vladimir Petrov, kept their positions.
During the early 1990s Altai was an outlier among republics of Russia, as most of them were transformed into presidential republics, and former Supreme Soviet speakers usually emerged as the strongest contenders for presidency. In 1994, Chaptynov, unsure about his prospects in a hypothetical popular vote, proposed an amendment to create an indirectly elected office of the Head of the Republic combined with that of a speaker of the newly created State Assembly of the Altai Republic.
In January 1997, Petrov was ousted from premiership and replaced by Chaptynov who was preparing to run in the election that was expected to be held later that year. He was succeeded as Head of the Republic by Vladilen Volkov, a former Soviet military advisor in Afghanistan and first secretary of Gorno-Altaysk Communist Party gorkom.
In June 1997, a new constitution was adopted, where the positions of Head of the Republic and premier were effectively merged. Chaptynov's sudden death in August led to Volkov becoming the first executive Head while giving up the speakership. In the subsequent election, he lost to State Duma member and former financial controller Semyon Zubakin.
