He served as the presidential envoy to [Ural Federal District](/source/Ural_Federal_District), and a member of the [Security Council of Russia](/source/Security_Council_of_Russia), from 2012 to 2018.

He has the federal state civilian service rank of [1st class Active State Councillor of the Russian Federation](/source/1st_class_Active_State_Councillor_of_the_Russian_Federation).[1]

## Early life

Igor Kholmanskikh was born in 1969.[2] His parents worked for [Uralvagonzavod](/source/Uralvagonzavod), a factory in [Nizhny Tagil](/source/Nizhny_Tagil), [Sverdlovsk Oblast](/source/Sverdlovsk_Oblast), Russia.[2] Kholmanskikh graduated with a degree in mechanics from the Nizhny Tagil branch of the [Ural State Technical University](/source/Ural_State_Technical_University) in 1994.[2][3]

## Career

Kholmanskikh worked a foreman for Uralvagonzavod, where he became the chief assembly manager in August 2011.[2]

During the [2012 Russian presidential election](/source/2012_Russian_presidential_election), Kholmanskikh expressed support for candidate [Vladimir Putin](/source/Vladimir_Putin) on national television.[4] Once Putin was elected as president, he appointed Kholmanskikh as the presidential envoy to [Ural Federal District](/source/Ural_Federal_District) "without any prior government or political experience."[4] He also serves on the [Security Council of Russia](/source/Security_Council_of_Russia).[2]

In her 2017 book, *[Democracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom](/source/Democracy%3A_Stories_from_the_Long_Road_to_Freedom)*, former US Secretary of State [Condoleezza Rice](/source/Condoleezza_Rice) writes that Kholmanskikh's appointment "bears a strong resemblance to the folklore of an era long past. Heroic laborers who through hard work and grit industrialized the country and farmed the land have long been admired, whether in Russia or the Soviet Union."[4]

On 26 June 2018, Kholmanskikh was replaced by [Nikolay Tsukanov](/source/Nikolay_Tsukanov).[5] On 9 July 2018 he became head of the board of directors of Uralvagonzavod.[6]
