## Biography

Bulavin was born [Lipetsk Oblast](/source/Lipetsk_Oblast), Russia.[1]

Before graduating in Academy of the Federal Security Service, he had worked with [Voskhod](/source/Voskhod%2C_Russia) as a constructor engineer in 1977 and in 1977, he joined State security commission serving in the Russian administration office in Ministry of Security and Administration of the [Federal Counter-intelligence Service](/source/Federal_Counterintelligence_Service) in 1979 and Administration of the Federal Security Service of [Novgorod](/source/Veliky_Novgorod) Region and was also presidential plenipotentiary representative of Northwest Federal district by [Vladimir Putin](/source/Vladimir_Putin).[1][5]

In 2016, he was appointed head of the Federal Customs Service. In February 2023, he was dismissed at the age of 70.[6]

According to media reports, after the September 2023 elections, Bulavin is predicted to have a seat in the [Federation Council](/source/Federation_Council_(Russia)) (Senate).[7]

### Sanctions

He was sanctioned by the [UK](/source/UK) government in 2022 in relation to the [Russo-Ukrainian War](/source/Russo-Ukrainian_War).[8]

In response to the [2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), on 6 April 2022 the [Office of Foreign Assets Control](/source/Office_of_Foreign_Assets_Control) of the [United States Department of the Treasury](/source/United_States_Department_of_the_Treasury) added Bulavin to its list of persons sanctioned pursuant to [Executive Order](/source/Executive_order_(United_States)) [14024](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14024).[9] On 25 February 2023, the [European Union](/source/European_Union) imposed sanctions against Bulavin due to his efforts to undermine trade and customs restrictions by securing parallel imports into Russia, and for exercising direct authority over customs processes and imposing Russia's customs code in the illegally annexed territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.[10]
