Biography[edit]
Born on 25 March 2000, Konkov is a student at the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy.
Konstantin Konkov began to engage in political activism while studying at the university. In particular, he collected about 20,000 student signatures in defense of the academy's fields from development.[1] He worked in the campaign headquarters of Sergei Tsukasov, Elena Yanchuk and Mikhail Lobanov.[2] In 2021, together with Muscovites, he achieved the return of tram routes in the Northern Administrative District. In 2021, he decided to run for local elections in Mozhaysky District, Moscow.[3] As a result of the elections, Konstantin Konkov won, becoming the youngest elected deputy of Moscow. In the municipal council, he is the only opposition deputy. He is a member of the commission on social policy, physical culture and sports.[4]
After being elected as a deputy, they tried to illegally hand over a summons to the military registration and enlistment office to Konkov. Here is how he commented: "A recruiter and police officers stopped me outside of the government building where I work and tried to illegally give me a draft notice. I managed to stand my ground and be left alone. There are numerous reports of unlawful mobilization: Recruiters are not filling out draft notices correctly, recruiters are delivering notices to people who are supposed to be excluded from mobilization and people are being drafted even if they are not in the reserves. I’m a student, and my supporters and I tried to explain it to a recruiter outside of the Council of Deputies building where I work as a Mozhaysky District representative. The fact that I’m still a student is supposed to make me exempt from the mobilization despite my past military service, but it was tricky at the time — I’m not studying at the same university where I started after high school, which could have potentially negated my right to be excused because of my studies".[5][6]
In 2021, he gave an interview to Russian journalist Alexey Pivovarov on the YouTube channel "Editorial".[7]
Political views[edit]
He positions himself as a democratic socialist, and opposes the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
