Igor Orlov (politician)

Orlov resigned as Governor on 2 April 2020. He was replaced by Alexander Tsybulsky, who was previously Nenets Autonomous Okrug, as Tsybulsky was appointed. According to Orlov, he made the decision to resign based on the results of "large sociological research conducted by a number of professional companies.".

At least 30 activists arrived at EcoBeach from 7:00 to 22:00 every day. Later, the time spent by the protesters in the square was gradually reduced. After Orlov's resignation, Eco-Perpetual on Lenin Square actually ceased from 7 April 2020. Reflective vests and the flag of Urdoma MO have become the symbol of EcoUnlimited. In the short April LED days, vests became especially popular. Some bloggers have compared EcoUnlimited to Yellow Vests in France, but activists refute the argument, since the protest was initially local in nature and not associated with foreign representations of opposition movements. The movement came out on categorically patriotic positions to the edge.

In June 2020, Orlov was the temporary General Director, and then officially the General Director of PJSC "Shipbuilding Plant" Severnaya Verf".

On 8 July 2019, RBC published the news that Orlov may be dismissed as part of the next staff rotation. Сам Орлов эту информацию опроверг. Orlov himself denied this information.

On 12 November 2019, during a party conference of the regional branch of the United Russia party, Igor Orlov announced his readiness to take part in the elections for the governor of the Arkhangelsk region in 2020, despite rather shaky positions in various polls and ratings. Moreover, Orlov said that he expects to win the gubernatorial elections in the first round. The leader of the Arkhangelsk regional branch of the Communist Party, Aleksander Novikov, Orlov's intention, in Novikov's belief, to run with such a negative rating is a "desperate decision.".

On 5 April 2019, at a meeting with the trade union leaders of Severodvinsk, he called his critics "all sorts of huskies" and said that he was "not a fool to give up billions." This prompted a backlash of criticism and demands to resign.

On April 7, 2019, thousands of unauthorized demonstrations took place in Arkhangelsk against the landfill in Shies, for the adoption of a law banning the import of garbage from other regions and for the resignation of Igor Orlov. The protesters occupied Troitsky Ave. from the Marine River Station to pl. Lenin. Interior Ministry officials tried to obstruct the march by standing in several lines across the march, the lines were demolished by the demonstrators. There is an opinion about deliberate sabotage of the order to obstruct the demonstrators: the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behaved non-aggressively, smiled and even expressed solidarity with the demonstrators when they passed the cordon. After regrouping on pl. Lenin, the National Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to use violence against the demonstrators. From the rostrum of the protest, the organizers of the march announced an indefinite protest action by EcoFinality, setting up tents in the center of the square. One of the symbols of the protest was a banner with the words “You will answer for the husk”.

On June 7, 2019, a lynched scarecrow with the inscription “I sold the North”, similar to Orlov, appeared on the wires near the City Administration over Voskresensky Avenue. To remove the scarecrow, the road part of the avenue was blocked and employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations were involved. On June 20, 2019, after a direct line with Vladimir Putin, the activists appointed a public gathering at the square. Lenin to express his opinion on Putin's answer to the question of the illegal construction of the landfill in Shies. At the national gathering, EcoBendingless participants bring a wooden toilet, referring to Igor Orlov's frequent phrases about unwillingness to “hang in the toilet” because of the low rating.

In 2018, Igor Orlov supported the construction of Ecotechnopark, essentially an illegal landfill at Shies station. It is planned to allocate up to 10 billion rubles from the Moscow budget for the project. The media and a number of social activists claim that by his actions Orlov created a dangerous situation in the Arkhangelsk Oblast and the neighboring Komi Republic.

Orlov's term expired in February 2017, but in May 2015 Orlov resigned ahead of schedule and at the same time asked President Vladimir Putin for permission to run again (in other cases the law prohibits this). Putin gave permission and appointed Orlov Acting Governor before taking office as elected in the elections. On 13 September 2015, the elections for the governor of the Arkhangelsk Oblast took place, in which Orlov won the first round with a result of 53.25% of the votes. The inauguration took place on 24 September 2015.
