He studied mechanical engineering, graduating from Kharkov Institute of Railway Transport Engineers (now the Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport) in the year 1974.

In 1993 he was elected to the 1st Convocation of the State Duma from the Kursk constituency of Kursk Oblast. He was re-elected from his constituency to the 2nd State Duma in 1995, and in 1999 he was elected as part of the CPRF party list.
Mikhailov resigned from the State Duma in November 2000 to become the Governor of his native Kursk Oblast,[1] an office he held until resigning in 2018.[2] In 2004, he switched to the ruling United Russia political party. A few months after resigning from his position as governor, Mikhailov was appointed a to represent Kursk Oblast in the Federation Council.
