Background

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Dmitry Mironov was appointed acting Governor of Yaroslavl Oblast in July 2016, replacing first term incumbent Sergey Yastrebov.[2] Mironov won election for a full term as United Russia candidate in 2017 with 79.32% of the vote.[3] Aleksey Dyumin became the first of "Putin's adjutants" – a group of Russian governors appointed in 2016–2018 who previously served in Federal Protective Service for President Putin, besides Dyumin, this group consists of former acting Kaliningrad Oblast Governor Yevgeny Zinichev (2016) and former acting Astrakhan Oblast Governor Sergey Morozov (2018–2019).[4] In the 2021 Russian legislative election in Yaroslavl Oblast, United Russia suffered notable defeat, as it scored inly 29.72% of the vote (5th worst result nationally), while both single-mandate constituencies were won by SR-ZP candidates – Anatoly Greshnevikov and Anatoly Lisitsyn.[5] On 12 October 2021, Assistant to the President Anatoly Seryshev was appointed Presidential Envoy to the Siberian Federal District, while Dmitry Mironov received Seryshev's position. The same day, former Deputy Head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Mikhail Yevrayev was appointed acting Governor of Yaroslavl Oblast.[6]

Due to the start of Russian special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent economic sanctions, the cancellation and postponement of direct gubernatorial elections was proposed.[7] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov.[8] Eventually, on 7 June, the Yaroslavl Oblast Duma called the gubernatorial election for 11 September 2022.[9]
