Aleksandr Vladimirovich Vlasov (20 January 1932 – 9 June 2002) was a Soviet politician, who held different positions, including interior minister and prime minister. He was the last communist prime minister of Russia,[1] and a close ally of Mikhail Gorbachev.[2]

Early life and education

Vlasov was born into a Russian family in Babushkin, Buryat-Mongol ASSR, Russian SFSR (now Buryatia, Russia) on 20 January 1932.[3][4] He attended the Irkutsk Mining Metallurgical Institute and graduated with a degree in mining engineering in 1954.[4][5]

Career

Vlasov worked as a foreman in an eastern Siberia mine.[6] In 1956, he joined the communist party.[5] In 1965, he was named as second secretary of Yakut party obkom.[4] He also worked a member of the military council of the North Caucasian military district when Gorbachev was working there.[5] Vlasov began to work at the central committee of the communist party in Moscow in 1972.[4][7] He was promoted to first secretary of the party in 1975.[4] Then Vlasov became first secretary of the party in Rostov in southern Russia in 1984.[8]

In January 1986, he was appointed interior minister, replacing Vitaly Fedorchuk in the post.[9][10][11] Vlasov was appointed to the Politburo as a non-voting member in late September 1988.[12][13] His tenure as interior minister lasted until 10 October 1988.[14] Vadim Bakatin replaced him as interior minister.[15]

Vlasov was elected as prime minister of the Russian Republic by the supreme Soviet on 3 October 1988.[16][17] He succeeded Vitaly Vorotnikov in the post.[8]

Then Vlasov was nominated for presidency of the supreme Soviet in May 1990.[18] However, he lost the election to Boris Yeltsin who outpolled him, 535 votes to 467, receiving just 4 votes more than the minimum required for election.[19][20][21]

Death

Vlasov died in Moscow on 9 June 2002.[3]
