Leonid Viktoryvich Korotkov (born January 10, 1965) is the governor of Amur Oblast in Siberia in Russia. He was born in Zavitinsk. He graduated from Far Eastern University in 1987.[1] He is a member of the Communist Party of Russia. He has been governor since 2001, when he defeated the incumbent Anatoly Belogenov in a runoff. He had been a distant second with only 20% of the vote in the first round, but the incumbent got less than 50% of the vote so Korotkov could participate in the runoff, which he narrowly won.[2] In February 2005, Korotkov was renominated by Vladimir Putin and confirmed for a second term by the local Parliament.[1] He was one of the first governors to be elected in this way, as a law abolishing direct election of governors and presidents of the Russian republics had just taken effect.[3] January 10 is the 10th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ...
