From an early age, Evgeny was drawn to politics, so he decides to apply after school to Yaroslavl State University at the Faculty of Law. After being refused enrollment, he enters the army, where he serves for 4 years. In the article you can see the photo of Evgeny Urlashov.
Education
Despite the failure, Evgeny Urlashov tries again to enter. This time, the enrollment was successful, and in 1998 he left the doors of YarSU with a law degree.

Evgeny Urlashov also enters Russian academy state service, which ends in 2004. The educational path does not end there, and already in 2006 Urlashov graduated from the World Bank Institute.
Political life

In the future, he collects the bulk of voters by working in the municipality. It is there that he meets with the people and regulates self-government bodies, reaching the stage of deputy chairman. Fate brought Urlashov to the United Russia party, from which he left three years later. In his career, he also worked for a pittance as a lawyer in a charitable foundation in Yaroslavl.
Running for mayor
Since the politician very often spoke with the common people, held meetings with him, the majority of the city's population expected Yevgeny's victory. He promised that he would stop corruption, and when making decisions, he would consult with people of the working class, and not just with deputies. He also planned to restore the reservoir within the city.
In the elections on April 1, 2012, he won by a landslide, receiving about 70% of the vote with a turnout of 45%. After he learned the results, Urlashov said that it was time to change Yaroslavl, to turn it into a city of a huge scale. He promised to give new life people. With such a percentage of votes cast, the elections were fair. Moreover, 1,300 people worked at the venues, who did not notice a single attempt to falsify the results. Because of his success, the oppositionist got into Forbes magazine.
First of all, he changed the team with which he had to work. His plans were aimed at closing the points of sale of illegal products.
As mayor
In the first months of his tenure as mayor, Evgeny creates and opens the Institute for the Development of Strategic Initiatives. In campaign promises, he said that he wanted to help the common people. Therefore, he turned to Putin about the fact that the governor of the Yaroslavl region did not want to allocate money to teachers. Since the problem could not be resolved peacefully, the politician decided to turn to the president.
In the autumn of the same year, mass closures began of points selling illegal liquor and tobacco, as well as shops where the owners did not pay rent for a long time. The newly minted mayor argued that the resulting area could go to the needs of the common people. The only problem that still continues in some areas is that the garbage from the demolished stalls was taken out for a long time. In some places, ruins can still be seen today.
The mayor also began to design the city. Under his leadership, many houses were repaired in different parts Yaroslavl. The embankment has changed significantly. Eugene in his interview said that he wants to replace all the old roads with large pits. He was dissatisfied with the pace of the repair work, but covered many roadways with new asphalt over the course of his career.
2 years after the election, a vote was held on the effectiveness of Urlashov in place of the mayor of the city of Yaroslavl. It was attended by 28 deputies, 21 of whom rated Evgeny's activity as "unsatisfactory". The politician himself believed that he was an oppositionist, so the United Russia party puts a lot of pressure on him.
condemnation
As a result of the incomprehensible work of the mayor, the lack of definite results, a flurry of criticism is thrown at Urlashov. Journalists point out that wage was about 140 thousand rubles a year. But at the same time, Urlashov buys himself a new apartment, a country cottage and a car.
Consequence
After a rally at which Urlashov spoke out against the leading party, on the night of July 3, 2013, Yevgeny was detained on suspicion of extorting a bribe. The politician himself claims that these charges are falsified due to the fact that he wanted to participate in the regional elections. A strange event is that a lawyer was not allowed to see him. By order of the Leninsky District Court of Yaroslavl, he was kept in custody until September 2 of the same year.
From the pre-trial detention center, Yevgeny Urlashov writes down an appeal to the townspeople, claiming that he was set up. His intention to rise in office without being a member of the supreme party provoked her to "remove" the politician in prison. He also explained that he had nothing to do with the accusation that is attributed to him.
The people supported their mayor, so about 3,000 thousand people came to the square, according to the press. The politician was sent to the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center in Moscow, where he had to sit until October 2014. But the investigation did not come to a final conclusion about guilt, so the arrest was extended for another year.
Court result
Despite numerous rallies in support of Yevgeny, the court found him guilty and imprisoned him for 13 years in a strict regime colony. This sentence is declared the most cruel in relation to the mayors of the cities caught on a bribe. Then Urlashov's assistant was taken into custody for 7 years in a strict regime colony. The mayor's office, led by Evgeny's team, filed an appeal, and a month later a petition appeared on the Internet that the politician was not guilty and should be released from custody. After the verdict, Yevgeny Urlashov was removed from the post of mayor of the city of Yaroslavl.
Outcome
Thus, it will take a long time to sort out this case. Indeed, it so happened that the arrest of Yevgeny Urlashov occurred after a rally at which he spoke about his plans to conquer the career ladder. The politician was not a member of the United Russia party, but he was given the longest term among mayors who were detained for taking bribes. The people support the mayor, as he worked for the benefit of ordinary citizens. Despite all these facts, the court issued a guilty verdict.
