## Biography

Sergey Levchenko was born on 2 November 1953 in Novosibirsk, Soviet Union. He graduated from the Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Construction in 1976.

In 1982, he moved to a similar department in Angarsk.
In 1987, he began working for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, on a district committee in Angarsk and, by 1991, rose to the First Secretary of the local party administration.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, he rejoined StahlKonstruktsiya as general director. He was elected to the first session of the Irkutsk Oblast legislative assembly. He ran for oblast governor in 1997; but took only 18.8% of the vote against Boris Govorin.
In 1999, he was elected to the State Duma as a member of the Communist Party. He made a second run for Governor against Govorin in 2001, taking 23.9% to advance to the runoff election where he was defeated. He continued working in both the federal and oblast dumas for several years.

In 2019, he resigned as governor according to a press release although news sources such as the BBC reported that he was dismissed.
