Early life and education
editNagovitsyn was born in Glazov, a village in the Udmurt ASSR of the Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. He moved to Tomsk at a young age.
In 1978, he graduated from Tomsk Polytechnical Institute, specialising in Mechanical Engineering. He had, during university, received higher education in economics.
Career
editNagovistyn took a series of low paying class jobs until he was employed as an engineer. In 1986 he was appointed as the chief engineer of a factory in Tomsk, later becoming the general director.
In December 1999, Nagovistyn was appointed Prime Minister of Tomsk Oblast, the second-highest office after the Governor.
In 2007, by which time Nagovistyn was an experienced statewide politician, he moved to Buryatia to fill in the vacancy created by the stepping down of Leonid Potapov from the office of President of Buryatia. He was duly elected that year and re-elected in 2012 (with the word 'Head' now being used instead of 'President'). He resigned in 2017 after announcing he would not be seeking a third term. His successor Alexey Tsydenov then appointed Nagovistyn to the Federation Council.
A member of the ruling United Russia party, Nagovistyn was placed on the personal sanctions list of the United Kingdom following the launch of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]
