On April 10, at an extraordinary session of the regional council of the Kemerovo region, he was elected its speaker. Of the 39 deputies of the regional council present at the voting, 38 voted for the election, 1 against. He held the post of speaker until September 14.
On September 17, 2018, he was appointed rector of the Kuzbass Regional Institute for the Development of Vocational Education.

T
Uleev Aman-Geldy Moldagazyevich (Aman Gumirovich) born May 13, 1944 in the city of Krasnovodsk, Turkmen SSR in the family of an employee.
Father, Moldagazy Koldybaevich, is Kazakh by nationality. Mom, Vlasova Munira Fayzovna, is Tatar. Since childhood, Aman was raised by his stepfather, a Russian man, Vlasov Innokenty Ivanovich (died in 1984), whom Tuleyev considers his second father.
The parents gave their son the name of the Kazakh national revolutionary hero Aman-Gelda. But in Siberia, where the Tuleyev family has lived for more than 30 years, long eastern names do not take root in everyday life. Munira Fayzovna once told her son: “Call your son Aman Gumirovich.” It's been that way ever since. “I have never been ashamed of my nationality,” says Tuleyev, “I consider myself a Russian, and my native language is Russian.”
A.G. Tuleyev began his career as a switchman at the Krasnodar-1 railway station. In 1961 he entered the Tikhoretsky Railway College, and in 1964 he graduated with honors. When assigned, he himself asked to be sent to Siberia. After serving in the army, he returned to Mundybash to his previous place of work. In 1969, he became the head of the Mundybash railway station of the West Siberian Railway. In 1973 he graduated from the Novosibirsk Institute of Railway Transport Engineers with a degree in railway communications engineer for the operation of railways.
From 1973 to 1978 - head of the railway station of the city of Mezhdurechensk. From 1978 to 1985 worked in Novokuznetsk: first deputy and then head of the Novokuznetsk branch of the Kemerovo Railway. A skillful business executive and competent leader A.G. Tuleyev in 1985 was appointed head of the transport and communications department of the Kemerovo regional party committee.
In 1988, Tuleyev graduated from the Academy of Social Sciences. In the same year, he was appointed head of the Kemerovo Railway, one of the largest in the Soviet Union. Having become the youngest of 29 railway chiefs in the USSR, he confidently shouldered the huge and complex management of one of the most important transport routes in the country. In 1990, he was elected to the Supreme Council of the RSFSR for the Gorno-Shorsky national-territorial district.
In March 1990, he was elected as a deputy of the Kemerovo Regional Council of People's Deputies, then as its Chairman. At the same time, he was appointed chairman of the Kemerovo Regional Executive Committee. He served as Chairman of the regional Council of People's Deputies until October 1993, that is, until the dissolution of the representative government.
Heading the regional executive committee, Tuleyev subtly felt the pulse of the times and boldly and energetically resolved emerging problems. The priority of his policy was the issues of social security of the citizens of Kuzbass. For example, additional measures were introduced to improve the lives of participants in the Great Patriotic War, families of fallen military personnel, disabled people, as well as elderly citizens who are not entitled to any type of pension. Benefits were established for students of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions, and additional payments for meals for schoolchildren at the expense of the regional budget. Other decisions were made regarding benefits for low-income citizens and large families. Women remember the “Tuleev” day of child care, the shortened working Friday. During the famous miners' strikes, he invariably supported the demands of the miners, but believed that the strike movement should not be artificially intensified, much less used as a shock instrument in the political struggle.
Tuleyev's authority as a politician grew rapidly. In 1991, he participated in the first elections of the President of the RSFSR. Of course, he understood that it was unrealistic to count on election. But in the short time that the campaign campaign lasted, I managed to tell people a lot. The whole country recognized Tuleyev. An unknown candidate from the provinces gained all-Union fame. Of the six applicants, he was fourth, losing to B.N. Yeltsin, N.I. Ryzhkov and V.V. Zhirinovsky.
In August 1991, they started talking about Tuleyev as an irreconcilable opponent of President Yeltsin and the Gaidar Government. He was accused of having connections with the State Emergency Committee and was released from the post of chairman of the regional executive committee.
At the beginning of 1992, A.G. Tuleyev himself resigned from the post of chairman of the regional council. He explained the reasons for this step in his statement at a session of the regional council: “...The Chairman of the Council is obliged to ensure the implementation of the management policy and government program. But I don’t consider it possible to lead the implementation of a soulless, illiterate policy! Therefore, I announce my resignation from the post of Chairman of the Council. Let my resignation be a protest against the destruction of Soviet power...”
But then thousands of people who believed in his integrity came to his defense. More than 450 thousand signatures of Kuzbass residents were collected in support of A.G. Tuleyev. Deputies voted against his resignation. Tuleyev also remained a people’s deputy of Russia, was a member of the “Industrial Union” deputy group and the “Fatherland” faction. He spoke at every convention. His appearance on the podium always became an event.
In October 1993, he was on the side of the White House defenders. Later, in his book “Judge for yourself,” A. G. Tuleyev wrote: “Until the last moment, I couldn’t believe that they would decide to shed blood. I believed that the conflict would be resolved through political means. For this purpose, he organized a congress of people's deputies of the Kemerovo region, in which deputies from many regions of Siberia took part. I hoped in this way to influence the President and the Government and prevent madness.”
After the tragic events of October, following the Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR, the Kemerovo Regional Council was also dissolved. According to A.G. Tuleyev, perhaps the most difficult period began for him. It was necessary to decide whether to quit politics or start all over again.
The decision was made in favor of politics. He created the socio-political movement “People's Power” in Kuzbass. Tuleyev block." Having joined the new election struggle, in December 1993 Tuleyev was elected with an impressive margin as a deputy of the Federation Council of the new Russian Parliament, and in February 1994 he won the local elections to the Legislative Assembly of the region, becoming its first Chairman.
During the elections to the State Duma of 1995, non-party A. G. Tuleyev, together with G. A. Zyuganov and S. A. Goryacheva, headed the federal list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. The authority, charm, and unique personality of Aman Tuleyev brought the Communist Party a huge number of votes; in Kuzbass alone, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation gained 63% of the votes. However, A.G. Tuleyev himself refused the deputy seat in Okhotny Ryad and remained in the region, motivating this decision by the fact that his work in Kuzbass would bring more significant results than in the State Duma.
In January 1996, A.G. Tuleyev announced his participation in the presidential elections. Over 1 million 200 thousand signatures were collected in its support. He was registered as a candidate for the post of President of Russia and became an understudy for Gennady Zyuganov, the single candidate from the people's patriotic bloc. Before the first round of voting, he withdrew his candidacy in favor of a single candidate.
From August 22, 1996 to June 30, 1997 A. G. Tuleev - Member of the Government of the Russian Federation, Minister of the Russian Federation for Cooperation with Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Minister Tuleyev often visited the CIS republics and dealt with the problems of the Russian-speaking population of neighboring countries. During his work, the situation with the return of debts of the CIS republics to Russia, including property objects, improved. He stood at the origins of the formation of the Union of Russia and Belarus.
But even in Moscow, as a minister, he did not interrupt contact with Kuzbass and continued to defend the interests of the region. And when on March 27, 1997, on the day of the All-Russian protest action, people in Kuzbass took to the squares with posters “Tuleev, return to Kuzbass!”, I finally decided to participate in the elections of the Governor of the region. But the return to Kuzbass took place before the elections. The social and political situation in the region in the summer of 1997 was so explosive that President Yeltsin was forced to remove the current Head of the Regional Administration, his protege M. Kislyuk, and appoint A. G. Tuleyev to this position.
So in July 1997, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, A.G. Tuleyev was appointed Head of the Administration of the Kemerovo Region, and in October 1997 he was elected Governor of the Kemerovo Region, receiving about 95% of the votes.
In a short time, Governor Tuleyev managed to significantly reduce social tension, stop the process of destruction of the region's coal industry, and raise such giants of the domestic industry as ZSMK, KMK, and Azot from their knees. In 1999, the growth of industrial production in the region amounted to 20%. This is an unprecedented figure for Russia! For the first time in the last 10 years, more than 100 million tons of coal were mined in the Kuznetsk basin, two new mines and four open-pit mines were put into operation.
Governor Tuleyev’s special concern was and remains the social protection of veterans, children, students, and state employees. On his initiative, provincial markets were opened in the region, where food prices are 10-15% lower than in retail trade, a provincial hospital, provincial gas stations, pharmacies and opticians, where additional benefits are provided to veterans of the Great Patriotic War and citizens equivalent to them.
In the summer of 1999, A. G. Tuleyev was elected leader of the all-Russian political movement “Revival and Unity,” which declared its main task to be the revival of Russian industry. He took part in the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the third convocation. He was number four on the federal list “Communist Party of the Russian Federation - For Victory.”
Being a major politician and an outstanding specialist in the field of management, A. G. Tuleyev grew into a serious scientist studying socio-political processes. In 2000, he defended his doctoral dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Political Science on the topic: “Political leadership: regional specifics and implementation mechanisms.”
In 2000, in the presidential elections, A.G. Tuleyev became 4th out of 11 candidates.
In April 2001, he was re-elected Governor of the Kemerovo Region, practically repeating the results of the 1997 elections.
In December 2003, the governor headed the regional list of United Russia, which thanks to this gained 52% of the votes in the Kemerovo region. All 35 deputies of the Council of People's Deputies of the Kemerovo Region were elected from the “Serving Kuzbass” bloc, formed with the support of A. G. Tuleyev.
In July 1999, he refused to accept the Order of Honor from B.N. Yeltsin, citing the following reason: “I simply cannot, on principle, accept awards from the government, which has plunged the country into poverty.” However, in September 2000 he accepted this award from V.V. Putin.
In 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin extended A. G. Tuleyev’s term of office until 2010. In the same year, Tuleyev joined the United Russia party.
A. G. Tuleyev is the founder of the regional public charitable foundation “Help” and the public charitable foundation “Semipalatinsk Trail”.
On April 20, 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev extended A. G. Tuleyev’s term of office until 2015.
On September 13, 2015, in the gubernatorial elections, A.G. Tulev won an absolute majority of the votes - more than 96%, “breaking” his own record: in 1997 - about 95% of the votes, in 2001 - 93.54%.
A. G. Tuleev has many awards, including the Order of Honor, the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” II, III and IV degrees, the medal “For Labor Valor”, “For Special Contribution to the Development of Kuzbass” I degree. He has foreign awards: the Order of the Polar Star (Mongolia), the Order of Friendship (Belarus), the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, V degree (Ukraine), and the Order of DOSTYK (Kazakhstan). He was awarded the orders of the Russian Orthodox Church: St. Sergius of Radonezh, II degree, Holy Blessed Prince Daniel of Moscow, I and II degrees, and St. Innocent Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna, I degree. He is a laureate of the Peter the Great National Prize in the nomination “For the Development of the Regional Economy”, the All-Russian Prize “Russian National Olympus” in the nomination “Best Governor of 2003”.
Most of all, Aman Gumirovich is proud of the personalized firearm received from the Minister of Defense for his great personal contribution to the development and strengthening of military cooperation between the CIS countries, the titles “Honorary Railwayman of Russia” and “Honorary Citizen of the Kemerovo Region” (01/22/1998). A. G. Tuleev - Honorary Citizen of Novokuznetsk (decision of the City Assembly No. 38 of June 10, 1997), Honorary Citizen of Mezhdurechensk, Tashtagol and Kemerovo.
Aman Tuleyev is a brave and selfless person who knows how to find a way out of an extreme situation. Twice he had to be alone with armed terrorists. In 1991, when the campaign for the election of the first president of Russia was underway, by the will of fate he found himself next to a bus that was captured by a terrorist who was holding a girl hostage and demanding that a Russian people's deputy conduct negotiations with him. The situation was desperate. Tuleyev saw that the terrorist was holding a knife at the girl’s throat, there was no time to hesitate, he entered the bus and said that he remained a hostage instead of the girl. The criminal lowered the knife, and the security services did the rest. In 1995, already in Kemerovo, Tuleyev had to “communicate” with a terrorist who had seized an intercity bus with people. The young guy had a homemade explosive device and a grenade in his hands. Tuleyev's gift of persuasion manifested itself with renewed vigor. He first “exchanged” himself for the hostages, and then convinced the terrorist to surrender.
Since December 2006, Aman Gumirovich has been a member of the Bureau of the Supreme Council of the All-Russian political party "United Russia". In the ranking of heads of regions of the Russian Federation published in April 2014 (Civil Society Development Fund), he ranks fourth.
A. G. Tuleyev is a full member of the International Academy of Informatization and the International Academy of Engineering, honorary doctor of the Ulaanbaatar University of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. He is the author of many scientific articles and books with a socio-political focus.
His wife, Elvira Fedorovna, is Russian by nationality, worked with her husband on the railway, and is now on a well-deserved rest. They have two sons - Dmitry and Andrey. The youngest son Andrei died tragically in May 1998.
When asked about his hobby, A.G. Tuleyev always answers that due to the almost complete lack of free time, his work itself turned into a hobby. Tuleyev belongs to the category of “workaholics”. His working day usually lasts from 8 am to 10 pm. Saturday is usually an unofficial working day. He prefers to spend his rare hours of rest in nature - in the forest or on the river.
On April 1, 2018, after the tragic events in the Winter Cherry shopping center, Aman Tuleyev left the post of governor of the Kemerovo region ahead of schedule at his own request.
On April 10, 2018, deputies elected A. G. Tuleyev Chairman of the Kemerovo Council of People's Deputies.
September 2018 - Aman G. Tuleyev became the rector of the Kuzbass Regional Institute for the Development of Vocational Education (KRIRPO).
In March 2019, in connection with the 25th anniversary of the legislative (representative) power of the Kemerovo region, Aman Gumirovich Tuleyev awarded anniversary sign of the Council of People's Deputies of the Kemerovo Region "25 years of legislative power of the Kemerovo Region" as the chairman of the first Legislative Assembly of the Kemerovo Region and the chairman of the Council of People's Deputies of the Kemerovo Region of the fourth convocation. In March 1994, Kuzbass residents elected deputies to the Legislative Assembly of the Kemerovo Region for the first time (since 1998 - Council of People's Deputies of the Kemerovo Region). 25 years ago, the team of Aman Gumirovich won a landslide victory in these elections. Thanks to his talent, willpower, and ability to unite and lead people, Aman Gumirovich managed to make an invaluable contribution to the creation of the legislative framework of Kuzbass and the formation of a parliamentary culture.

Dossier:
In 1999-2001, a conflict arose between Tuleyev and the financial and industrial group Metallurgical Investment Company (MIK), headed by Mikhail Zhivilo. In 1996, MIC won the competition for external management of the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Plant (KMK), and in May 1999 announced the need for bankruptcy of KMK. After this, the group intended to acquire ownership of the plant. Tuleyev spoke out sharply against this. Using all his connections, by December 1999 he achieved the departure of MIC from KMK, and later - the ousting of the group from all enterprises in the region.

On August 10, 2000, in Moscow, FSB officers arrested Alexander Tikhonov, four-time Olympic biathlon champion, president of the Russian Biathlon Union, and his younger brother Viktor. The brothers were accused of preparing an assassination attempt on Tuleyev. According to investigators, the orderer of the failed murder was Zhivilo, who thus wanted to take revenge on the governor for ousting his company from KMK and Kuzbass.
In August 2002, the Novosibirsk Regional Court sentenced Viktor Tikhonov to four years in prison under Articles 33 and 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“preparation for murder”). In August 2004, after serving his sentence (which included two years of the suspect’s stay in a pre-trial detention center), he was released.
The cases of the elder Tikhonov and Zhivilo were separated into separate proceedings. Tikhonov was partially paralyzed a month after his arrest and underwent treatment for several years, including abroad. His case was brought to court only in December 2006. On July 23, 2007, Tikhonov was found guilty of inciting murder for hire, sentenced to three years in prison and released under an amnesty. However, he did not admit his guilt.
Zhivilo emigrated to France in 2000. In February 2001, he was arrested by police at the request of the Russian Interpol Bureau, but then released. The French court considered the arguments of Russian law enforcement agencies about Zhivilo’s guilt insufficient.
Tuleyev, commenting on the trials in cases of attempts on his life, said that Zhivilo, in his opinion, used the Tikhonov brothers. In addition, the Kemerovo governor expressed regret that many honored athletes became “mafiosi.”

In the spring of 2007, accidents occurred at two mines owned by the Yuzhkuzbassugol company in the Kemerovo region. On March 19, a methane explosion occurred at the Ulyanovskaya mine, killing 110 miners. On May 24, 2007, methane gas exploded at the Yubileiny mine. This time 39 miners died.
The head of Rostekhnadzor, Konstantin Pulikovsky, cited the cause of the accident as interference in the gas emission prevention system in order to increase coal production.
On June 7, Tuleyev characterized Pulikovsky’s statement as a provocation. According to the governor, the head of Rostekhnadzor claimed that the leadership of the Kemerovo region knew about the deliberate blocking of the gas protection system at Ulyanovskaya, but did not take action. In response to this, Tuleyev said that, in his opinion, the specialists of Rostechnadzor and personally the head of this department were to blame for the latest accidents that occurred in the mines of Kuzbass, who repeatedly ignored the demands of the regional authorities to restore order at coal enterprises. The next day, Tuleyev sued the head of Rostekhnadzor for libel. No further information about the legal proceedings was published.
