operational business
After some time, the former military and active athlete is drawn into politics. In 2004-2007, he worked in the apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In 2006, he was elected to the City Council, heads the permanent commission on youth and sports of the Odessa City Council.
In August 2008, he was appointed to the post of regional representative of the State Committee of Ukraine for Veterans Affairs in the Odessa region. In 2010, Trukhanov again became a member of the city council. He headed, having agreed with Andrei Klyuev and Sergei Levochkin, a faction of the Party of Regions. And this despite the fact that until December 2009 Trukhanov was a member of the People's Party.
In many ways, Trukhanov's rise, according to experts, was helped by the conflict between the team of Leonid Klimov, who was too keen on defending personal interests to the detriment of the party's image, and governor Eduard Matviychuk. After the latter won the undercover war, it turned out that the Regionals did not have so many personnel, and new people with weight in the city, their own team and financial resources came in handy. But he had to pay for this with an impressive quota on the electoral list. The result is known - Trukhanov has most of the faction under his heel, he is able to influence the mayor, and if he resists, put him in his place.
With the arrival of the head of the Odessa Regional State Administration, Mikheil Saakashvili, it was the turn for Trukhanov to take care of his own future. After being elected mayor, Trukhanov supported the Odessa volunteers. In particular, I bought an ambulance for the needs of the ATO.
Scandals
After serving in the Armed Forces, for a long time the name of the politician was associated with the special services, moreover, such abbreviations as the KGB and even the GRU sounded.
In 2004, Trukhanov had a serious quarrel with Alexei Kozachenko, the future people's deputy. Kozachenko insulted Trukhanov's sports school, calling it a "forge of bandits", and Trukhanov himself - their (in the sense of bandits) educator. 6 court sessions were scheduled, but Aleksey Kozachenko did not appear at any of them. The conflict was resolved only in 2006: “Aleksey Kozachenko noted that with his words he in no way and never wanted to offend the honor of the Thai Boxing Federation and athletes, and I regarded this as an apology. I think that the representatives of the federation, in particular the athletes, just like me, will be satisfied with what Alexey Kozachenko told me, ”the Porto-Franco newspaper quotes Trukhanov. By the way, the politician acquired GLAS with PLUS after the same Kozachenko tried to close them.
But one can only guess about the causes of the incident that occurred already in February 2011. City deputies - "regionals" staged an unprecedented demarche at that time - they did not appear at the meeting of the executive committee under the leadership of Mayor Alexei Kostusev. On the sidelines of the mayor's office, they said that this happened at the personal request of the head of the faction - allegedly the then associate of Kostusev, the leader of the Rodina party, Igor Markov and Gennady Trukhanov, could not divide the city department of youth and family policy.
The politician demonstrated his direct influence in the city meeting in March of the same year. Then the deputies literally did not let Kostusev go to the Odessa residents protesting under the walls of the city hall, and Gennady Trukhanov openly stated that if citizens are dissatisfied with something, then they should contact the deputies, and not organize protests.
A small quarrel with the mayor happened and quite recently. Aleksey Kostusev noticed that the city council began to meet too often and suggested holding sessions no more than once every three months. The leader of the PR faction countered this with a statement that the mayor did not give him a decree, and sessions would be held when a third of the deputies were needed, that is, he.
The Committee of Voters of Ukraine announced the use of administrative resources by Trukhanov in the 2015 local elections. "This is both direct and indirect bribery, and, unfortunately, in Odessa we had examples of the use of administrative resources by the current mayor and leader of the election campaign, Gennady Trukhanov," said CVU chairman Alexei Koshel.
Experts from the Opora civil network, based on the analysis of data from the parallel counting of votes in the mayoral elections in Odessa, also announced the falsification of elections by mass stuffing of ballots for candidate Trukhanov in the Kievsky district of the city.
Trukhanov's main rival, Odesa mayoral candidate Oleksandr Borovyk, accused the incumbent mayor of electoral fraud. Borovik filed a lawsuit with the Odessa District Administrative Court to cancel the results of the election of the mayor.
On November 2, 2015, the Odessa District Administrative Court completed consideration of Borovik's claim against the Odessa City Territorial Election Commission. The court dismissed all five lawsuits: in addition to the lawsuit against GorTIK, it lost the lawsuits against Suvorovskaya, Malinovskaya, Kievskaya, and Primorskaya RayTIK. [

city head

For the first time, he was elected mayor of a million-plus city in early municipal elections with a score of 43.49% of the vote. On May 25, 2014, at a solemn meeting of the City Council, he took the oath.
A year and a half later (October 27, 2015), Gennady Leonidovich was re-elected as the head of Odessa with a score of 52.9% of the vote, thereby proving his competence in terms of managing one of the most important political and economic centers of Ukraine. Gennady Trukhanov, whose photo can be seen not only on the pages of the national, but also the foreign press, has become a popular politician.
Panama Dossier
The huge international scandal that arose after the publication of the so-called Panama Papers also affected Mayor Gennady Trukhanov. Local journalists said that the politician was involved in the registration of offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands. Moreover, all registration documents indicated not Ukrainian, but Russian citizenship. Given the tension between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, this information caused a significant resonance.
Journalistic investigations
Opponents have repeatedly accused the leader of the Party of Regions faction in the Odessa City Council, Gennady Trukhanov, of having links with crime, in particular with the authority of Alexander Angert. The politician decided to comment on the situation. In an interview with the magazine "Power of Money" he explained that in 1993-1996. he led the security company "Captain" and, due to the specifics of the work, naturally knew about the ins and outs of the underworld. He had to communicate with both law enforcement agencies and criminals.
“I had and still have to contact them. This layer of society has always existed, exists now and, most likely, will exist in the future. If we manage to completely eradicate crime, then perhaps it will disappear. Policemen also hold meetings with criminals. Therefore, to say that I am also a criminal is tantamount to saying the same thing to half of the law enforcement officers. Like, why are you in contact with bandits? When they show me photographs in which I am allegedly with criminals, I do not deny it. However, who determines that representatives of the criminal world are next to me, where are the court decisions? Mayor Gennady Trukhanov said. Of particular interest to journalists was the friendship of the deputy with such an odious person as Alexander Angert, who now lives in Israel.
Trukhanov came to politics from the security business and has been developing fighting sports for 20 years
Yesterday, Odessa received a new mayor - at an extraordinary session of the city council, the head of the city election committee, Alexander Akhmerov, read out a resolution according to which Gennady Trukhanov received 146 thousand 22 votes, or 43.9% of the total number of people who came to vote.
The newly elected mayor was far ahead of his main competitor, Eduard Gurvits, for whom 107 thousand 526 inhabitants of Odessa voted, or 32.02% of those who voted.
INAUGURATION
It is interesting that the extraordinary session was appointed on the evening of May 26, while the final results of the election commission were announced only the next morning. In the City Council, such haste with the inauguration was explained by the need to restore order in the city as quickly as possible.
The ceremony of taking office was modest, Trukhanov was not even presented with an order chain as a sign of the mayor. The mayor's office says that they haven't seen her... since the resignation of Aleksey Kostusev.
Gennady Trukhanov solemnly swore allegiance to Odessa, Governor Igor Palitsa congratulated him on his election: “I wish you justify the trust of the Odessans, and they again elected you to new term(The next mayoral elections in Odessa will take place in a year and a half. - Auth.)”.
During the first briefing in his new capacity, Trukhanov promised to cooperate with all political forces and establish peace: “Odessa is a Ukrainian city, and peace and tranquility will reign in it. If Hurvits is appointed governor of the Odessa region, I think we will cooperate for the benefit of the Odessans.”
The mayor has not yet decided on a new team and promised to do it in the coming days. And when asked by journalists how old Odessa is, he answered with a hint: “You can ask how old Odessa is or when the Second World War... Let's ask constructive questions."
ODESSIT
Gennady Trukhanov has been going to victory for the last few years, gathering around him sports youth and winning the sympathy of pensioners, who make up his main electorate. The 49-year-old mayor is the first native of Odessa in this post over the past 20 years (Valentin Simonenko, who headed the city from 1983 to 1994, was also a native Odessan) and one of the youngest Odessa mayors, the last person to be elected was Eduard Gurvits , who first became mayor in 1994 at the age of 46.
CAPTAIN FRIENDS WITH ANGEL
The official biography of Trukhanov is not rich in details; he really became a public person only a few years ago. At the age of 7, in 1972, he went to the first grade of the Odessa secondary school No. 4 (opposite the Vympel cinema). The school remembers that even then he was active - he joined the Komsomol early, was the commander of post No. 1 on the Walk of Fame. After graduation, he entered the Odessa Higher Artillery School. Frunze.
In 1986, upon graduation, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant, after which he served in the North Caucasus for six years, ending his service with the rank of captain.
After retiring from the army, Trukhanov returned to Odessa and founded the Captain security company. By the way, in narrow circles, this title was assigned to him almost like a middle name. His career in the security business continued in 2000, when he was invited to provide security at the Odessa representative office of Lukoil.
The media wrote many times about his collaboration in the 90s with big businessman Alexander Angert (also known as crime boss Angel), who in 1980 was sentenced to death for murder (later the sentence was commuted to 15 years in prison, Angert was released settled, according to rumors, in Britain). Trukhanov does not deny his acquaintance with Angert: “Alexander Angert is my friend, and I have never been ashamed of our friendship. We met when he headed one large enterprise in Odessa. I saw a man who was the exact opposite of what they wrote and said about him, ”Trukhanov said in an interview.

And two years later, the politician decided to go to the Verkhovna Rada in the majority district in the Suvorov district. Voters remember him for the reconstruction of alleys, the construction of children's and sports grounds. The campaign paid off: 48,000 voters voted for the candidate, or 61% of all those who voted.
Having become a people's deputy, Trukhanov spent most of his time in Odessa, the media have repeatedly written that his card votes in the Rada, while the people's deputy himself is at public events in South Palmyra. During his time as a deputy, he became a co-author of nine bills, many of which concerned the Odessa region.
After the February events in the country, Trukhanov left the faction of the Party of Regions, although he has not yet left the party itself. However, he ran for mayor as an independent candidate. This winter, the future mayor spoke more than once at Kulikovo Field during the Anti-Maidan protests.
Interestingly, during the mayoral election campaign, Trukhanov announced for the first time that he was a candidate of psychological sciences. It turned out that back in 2008 he defended his dissertation on the topic “The main constructs of the symptom complex of a psychological victim (on the example of casus and tort personalities)”, dedicated to the victims of crimes.
