Sergey Ivanovich Morozov (Russian:Сергей Иванович Морозов; born 6 September 1959) is a Russian politician who is currently a member of parliament of theState Duma. He had served as the 3rd governor ofUlyanovsk Oblast in Russia from 6 January 2005 until 8 April 2021. He was elected in 2004; his term started in 2005.[1]
After completing military service in theSoviet Pacific Fleet in 1980 he graduated from the All Union Juristic Institute in 1981. Between 1981 and 2000 he worked for the Ministry of the Interior in the Ulyanovsk Oblast later becoming head of the local Drug Enforcement Department. Morozov was elected mayor ofDimitrovgrad in 2000 and then governor of Ulyanovsk in 2004. He is married and has two sons and a daughter.[2]
During Morozov’s tenure as governor, Ulyanovsk and the region saw the appearance of a monument to the letter “Ё,” the “philosophical sofa of Oblomov,” a monument to the ruble, and others. In 2005, Morozov established a regional holiday on September 12 called“Family Communication Day.”[3] On this day, employers are recommended to let employees leave work early so that they can devote time to communicating with their families. Among the people, the holiday received the nickname“Conception Day” because children conceived on this date are born on Russia Day — June 12. This was connected with another initiative by Governor Morozov —“Give Birth to a Patriot on Russia Day.”[4]
Morozov took a special interest in promoting the cultural events surrounding the2016 Bandy World Championship, which took place in Ulyanovsk.[5]
