Anatoly Dmitriyevich Artamonov (Russian: Анато́лий Дми́триевич Артамо́нов; born 1952, in Krasnoye, Kaluga Oblast, USSR) is Russian politician, former governor of Kaluga Oblast. In November 1996, Artamonov was elected vice-governor of Kaluga Oblast. On 12 November 2000 he was elected governor of Kaluga Oblast with 56.72% of the vote; and re-elected on 14 March 2004 with 66.86% of the vote. On 21 July 2005, President Vladimir Putin nominated Artamonov to retain his position; the nomination was confirmed by the Kaluga duma on 26 July. In 2002, Artamonov was named governor of the year by the Russian Biographical Institute.[1]
Artamonov has been praised for managing to promote Kaluga Oblast as a destination for foreign investors, leading to the establishment of an automotive cluster in the region,[2][3] and for creating a pro-business environment.[4] Because of this, he managed to reorient the local economy away from Soviet-era military industries and promoted infrastructure spending on projects like the reconstruction of Kaluga Airport.[5]
He is reportedly an admirer of former Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.[6] In 2013 Artamonov was found guilty of defamation by a Krasnoyarsk Krai court for calling Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska "a crook".[7]
