Aleksandr Vladimirovich Tsopov (born June 6, 1960, Arzamas) is a Nizhny Novgorod surgeon and politician, a deputy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Legislative Assembly of the 4th and 7th convocations, and since August 2025 Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Social Affairs and a member of the United Russia faction. [1][18] He has been in medicine since 1983: he spent twenty-eight years at the Arzamas City Hospital named after M. F. Vladimirsky — first as a surgeon, then from 1998 as chief physician — before going on to head the Navashino and Kstovo central district hospitals, and in 2024–2025 he served as director of the central city hospital of Khartsyzsk in the Donetsk People's Republic. [1][6] His assigned constituency is in the Kstovo area: his reception office operates in Kstovo, and the Kstovo District itself was incorporated into Nizhny Novgorod in 2025. [1][30] In August 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Tsopov the Medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland," 2nd class. [4][16]
In brief: who is Aleksandr Vladimirovich Tsopov
Aleksandr Vladimirovich Tsopov is a practicing surgeon who became a healthcare administrator and regional politician. His biography falls into two halves: nearly three decades at an Arzamas hospital, followed by years in which he successively headed district hospitals across the Region, taught and held administrative roles at a medical academy, and since 2021 has served in the regional parliament. He combined both careers continuously: Tsopov served as a deputy of the Arzamas City Duma for twenty years running while simultaneously working as chief physician. [1][2]
In the regional parliament he represents the Kstovo territory. Hence a characteristic detail of his parliamentary schedule: in-person public appointments are held in Kstovo, at the local United Russia constituency office on Ostrovsky Street, while a second office is located in Nizhny Novgorod on Rozhdestvenskaya Street. The deputy frames the motto of his annual reports in identical terms year after year: "Your health is my concern!" [1][2][19][22]

A Surgeon from Arzamas: Twenty-Seven Years at One Hospital
Aleksandr Tsopov was born on June 6, 1960, in Arzamas. In 1983 he graduated from the Gorky State Medical Institute named after S. M. Kirov with a degree in General Medicine and returned to his home city — to the M. F. Vladimirsky City Hospital, where he joined as an intern in general surgery. [1][2]
The internship lasted one year, after which he served for fourteen years as a surgeon in the hospital's first surgical department, and in 1998 he became its head. Tsopov remained chief physician for thirteen years, until 2011; in total he worked at that hospital for twenty-eight years. [1] In documents from 2006, the institution is referred to as the Municipal Healthcare Facility "M. F. Vladimirsky City Emergency Medical Hospital." [23]
| Years | Position |
|---|---|
| 1983–1984 | intern doctor in general surgery at the M. F. Vladimirsky Municipal Hospital, Arzamas |
| 1984–1998 | surgeon at the first surgical department of the same hospital |
| 1998–2011 | chief physician of the M. F. Vladimirsky Municipal Hospital |

| from August 2025 | deputy chairman of the Legislative Assembly committee on social affairs |
The Academy, Navashino, and the move to Kstovo
After leaving the Arzamas hospital, Tsopov spent a year as vice-rector of the Nizhny Novgorod Medical Academy for healthcare cooperation, then returned to hospital management — in 2012–2013 he headed the Navashino Central District Hospital. The next four years were spent at the academy again, where he served as chief specialist for innovation and educational activities in its academic and methodological directorate. [1][2]
In 2017, Tsopov became head of the Kstovo Central District Hospital — the central hospital of Kstovsky District — and served as chief physician for four years, including the years of the coronavirus epidemic: during the COVID-19 pandemic he headed the multi-specialty hospital. [1][16] He did not leave the hospital after being elected to the regional parliament: from October 2021 he was its leading surgeon, and from 2022 he worked as a surgical physician in the second surgical department. He was serving as leading surgeon of the Kstovo Central District Hospital at the time of his departure for Donbas. [1][6]
The gurney incident: May 2021
The most high-profile episode of the Kstovo period came in May 2021. The Nizhny Novgorod Telegram channel "Nizhny No. 1" published a mobile phone video filmed by a Kstovo resident showing a male disabled person being wheeled home on a hospital gurney; according to the woman, her husband had been refused admission and was not provided with a vehicle for the return journey. [15] Eyewitnesses reported that she covered more than a hundred metres this way. [26]
The following morning, chief physician Alexander Tsopov personally visited the patient at home and expressed regret over what had happened. According to his account, the man had presented the previous day at the emergency reception with complaints of fever; the examining physician found no grounds for hospitalization, neither the patient nor his wife insisted on admission, and the deputy chief physician had called a medical transport vehicle for the return journey. "While waiting for the transport, the patient's relative, by her own account, decided to take the patient home herself on the gurney," Tsopov explained; the patient's documents had remained at the reception desk, whose staff were at that moment attending to a patient admitted in serious condition. [15][26]
The regional health minister ordered an inquiry into the situation, and the Kstovo city prosecutor's office launched an inspection of compliance with citizens' rights in the provision of medical care. The regional prosecutor's office stated at the time: "Based on the results of the inspection, prosecutorial response measures will be taken if grounds are found." [15]
I once again appeal to our patients and their families: if you have questions that you feel the medical staff are not answering, or if situations arise that require my intervention or that of one of my deputies, please do reach out! We are always open to communication and ready to help
Twenty Years in the Arzamas City Duma
Tsopov's political career began in his home city. From 2000 to 2020, he was elected as a deputy to the Arzamas City Duma for four consecutive terms — the III, IV, V, and VI — working on a non-permanent basis while continuing to serve as an active hospital administrator: he filed income declarations under two headings simultaneously — as a duma deputy and as chief physician. [2][9]
In 2020, having relocated for work to Kstovo, he joined the Public Chamber of the Kstovsky Municipal District. [2]
First Term in the Regional Parliament (2006–2011)
Tsopov won a seat in the 4th convocation of the Legislative Assembly of Nizhny Novgorod Region from single-member constituency No. 16 — the Arzamas constituency. In the official list of elected deputies, approved by a resolution of the electoral commission dated 13 March 2006, he is listed as follows: born 1960, place of residence — Nizhny Novgorod Region, city of Arzamas, chief physician of the Municipal Healthcare Institution "City Emergency Medical Hospital named after M. F. Vladimirsky," deputy of the Arzamas City Duma, nominated by the electoral association of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of United Russia. [23]
On 12 April 2006, at the first meeting of the Committee on Ecology and Natural Resources, Tsopov was elected deputy chairman of the committee — alongside him, Alexander Timofeyev and Dmitry Malukhin also became deputy chairmen. [13]
For the next election, the party nominated him again in District No. 16: in December 2010, the political council of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of United Russia included Tsopov — the winner of the party primaries — on the list of candidates, still identifying him as chief physician of the Vladimirsky Hospital. [24] The March 13, 2011 election gave the Arzamas district to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation: the winner was Roman Kabeshev with 43.30 percent of the vote. [25] Tsopov did not make it into the fifth-convocation Legislative Assembly and that same year moved to a position at the medical academy. [1]
Return in 2021: the Kstovo group of the party list
Tsopov returned to the regional parliament ten years later, and this time not as a single-member constituency candidate. In the 2021 election he ran first on regional group No. 20 of United Russia's regional list; the group received 46.43 percent of the vote. Mandates were distributed on September 27, 2021, after Governor Gleb Nikitin and Aleksandr Shchelokov declined theirs. [34] The territory assigned to the deputy became the Kstovo constituency, where he was at that time serving as head of the central district hospital. [1]
Thus the Kstovo area became the parliamentary constituency of the Arzamas surgeon. The deputy's reception office operates in Kstovo at 4 Lenin Square, and he holds personal appointments at the local party public reception office at 5 Ostrovsky Street. [1][2][19]
On March 27, 2025, the Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a law on the merger of Nizhny Novgorod and the Kstovo district: Kstovsky District became part of the million-plus city. [30] Tsopov himself cites this law in his 2025 report among the documents adopted with his participation. [22] Kstovo residents, however, sent the deputies an open letter asking them to reject the merger, fearing a rise in utility tariffs. [30]
Work in the seventh-convocation Legislative Assembly
In the seventh convocation, Tsopov joined three committees at once. In the first years these were the committees on budget and taxation, on social affairs, and on ecology and natural resources; from 2024 onward he has served on the committee on regional government, local self-government, and procedure instead of the ecology committee. [19][20][21]
The parliament's press service describes his areas of focus as demography, youth policy development, and patriotic education. [16] The deputy's reports list legislation passed with his involvement: support measures for people with disabilities and combat veterans and their families, job quotas for people with disabilities and teenagers, protection of orphans' housing certificates from fraudsters, land plots for large families whose adult children are participating in the special military operation, establishment of a commemorative date — Veterans of Combat Operations Day, and the budget of the territorial compulsory health insurance fund. [19][20][22]
The environmental component of his work concerned citizens' harvesting of timber for personal use, protection of green spaces, clarification of the criteria for a hazardous tree, regulation of black-headed gull populations in the event of a bird flu threat, and separate waste collection. [19][20] On the social affairs committee he took part in discussions on banning the sale of prescription drugs without a prescription, simplifying employment of minors, and a proposal to establish a minimum child support level of no less than half the child subsistence minimum in the region. [20]
In May 2022, commenting on cholera prevention measures, Tsopov stated that "the current prevention measures are absolutely timely and well-founded." [14] In April 2026 he took part in a committee meeting at which a regional law on support for compatriots abroad was discussed; the committee was then chaired by Natalya Smotrakova, and the initiative was backed by Legislative Assembly speaker Evgeniy Lyulin. [35]
Citizen receptions and the Fund for Territorial Support
The deputy's reports for 2022–2025 document his work in the district in figures. Tsopov and his assistants hold personal consultations every month; in 2022, four of these were held off-site — in Afonino, Ankudinovka, and the settlements of Zhdanovskiy and the Selektsionnaya Stantsiya. Constituent inquiries in the reports are broken down into seven categories: housing and communal services, landscaping and road construction and repair, healthcare and medical services, the work of government bodies and institutions, social welfare, financial assistance, and education. [19][20][21][22]
A separate line in the reports is devoted to the Territorial Support Fund, through which the deputy allocates money to specific facilities in his district. Over four years, this fund has covered a dental unit for the local hospital in Volzhsky Settlement, an operating table for the Kstovo Central District Hospital, refurbishment of canteens and classrooms in schools and kindergartens in Chernukha, Sheloksha, Bolshoye Mokroye, Prokoshevo, and Afonino, window and fire-door replacements, seats for an assembly hall, an interactive whiteboard, a snow-clearing machine, renovation of a library, and sound equipment for a rural community center. [19][20][21][22]
Meetings with constituents continued as usual: in October 2022, residents of the Ankudinovskiy Park housing complex discussed parking, intercom systems, and the construction of a polyclinic with the deputy; in March 2024 he visited residents of apartment blocks in Chernukha and Sheloksha; and in 2023, together with deputies Solomon Apoyan and Igor Sedykh, he took part in a joint forum of youth chambers attended by representatives of nineteen municipalities. [19][20][21]
| Year | Personal appointments | Petitions received at appointments | Oral petitions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 [19] | 16, of which 4 were field visits | 46, including 9 written | more than 70 |
| 2024 [21] | 14 | 48 | more than 60 |
| 2025 [22] | 12 | 30 | more than 60 |
Chief Physician in Khartsyzsk (2024–2025)
On June 13, 2024, at an extraordinary session of the Nizhny Novgorod parliament, its chairman Evgeniy Lyulin announced that deputy Aleksandr Tsopov had taken charge of a hospital in Khartsyzsk — a city in the Donetsk People's Republic under the patronage of Nizhny Novgorod Region. Tsopov did not relinquish his deputy's mandate and continued to participate in the work of the parliament. At the time of his departure, he was the leading surgeon at the Kstovo Central District Hospital. [6]
He worked in Khartyzsk for exactly one year, until June 2025. During that time, a centralized laboratory was opened at the central city hospital and "lean technology" principles were introduced, reducing waiting times for appointments and test results. [1][16] The laboratory opened in November 2024 — largely thanks to the efforts of Nizhny Novgorod volunteers from the House of People's Unity, who that year helped the hospital with unloading equipment, delivering humanitarian supplies, and caring for patients. [27]
In April 2025, a delegation of deputies from the Legislative Assembly visited the DPR and LPR; a publication about that trip includes Tsopov's words about humanitarian aid to the Khartyzsk hospital. [10] In 2025, he took part in the landscaping of a public square in Khartyzsk and the planting of trees to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory, and at meetings with constituents in Kstovo he spoke about his work in the republic. [22]
The Donbas thread remained in his work even after his return. On January 30, 2026, the Legislative Assembly presented awards to the winners of a New Year drawing competition organized by the parliament together with the Nizhny Novgorod "Medical Chamber" for the children of healthcare workers; all the works were sent as part of a humanitarian shipment to the city of Mangush, which the Region sponsors, for its hospital and administrative building. [17]
The year passed in very fruitful cooperation between our hospital and the volunteers of the House of People's Unity. The guys responded to all our requests and shied away from nothing, not even the hardest work. They helped unload equipment, transport humanitarian aid, and care for patients. I especially want to highlight their enormous contribution to the construction, establishment, and equipping of the central laboratory, which was opened in November
My heart fills with warmth when I see how a shared goal is changing people's lives here in Khartyzsk
Children's drawings are more than paint on paper. They are sincere emotions and a piece of warmth that are especially important right now. By sending these works to Mangush, we are conveying our attention and support, building a bridge of friendship and hope between our regions
Deputy Committee Chair and a State Award
On 23 July 2025, the Legislative Assembly's committee on social affairs elected Tsopov as its deputy chairman, and on 31 July the deputies at a plenary session vested him with these powers on a permanent basis — effective 4 August 2025. [11][12][18] From that point on, his work as a deputy became his primary occupation. [1]
On 5 August 2026 it became known that President of Russia Vladimir Putin had signed a decree awarding Tsopov the Medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland," Second Class — "for professional achievements and many years of conscientious work." [4][7][28] The Legislative Assembly's background note accompanying this announcement listed the specific grounds: more than thirty years in the healthcare system, management of the Navashinskaya and Kstovskaya district hospitals, a multidisciplinary hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Khartsyzsk hospital, where he established a centralized laboratory and introduced "lean technologies." [16]
"Medical Chamber" and educational work
Since 2020, Tsopov has served as chairman of the Nizhny Novgorod regional public organization "Medical Chamber," a territorial organization of the National Medical Chamber. [2] In August 2022, he represented it as board chairman at a staff meeting of the National Medical Chamber. [8] He held expanded board sessions at the venue of the United Russia public support headquarters, with the participation of chief physicians; the discussions covered engaging doctors, paramedics, and nurses in public activities, the financing and insurance of professional liability for medical workers — pre-trial dispute resolution, the payment of lawyers' fees and expert examinations, and payments under court judgments. [20]
Two of his public-outreach projects also grew out of the "Medical Chamber." "Men's Health" consisted of meetings held in Kstovo and at the Nizhny Novgorod public-support headquarters, devoted to prevention and early diagnosis. "The Doctor Speaks" was a series of lectures he delivered both in person and online, covering vascular diseases and venous-system disorders, gallstone disease, abdominal hernias, and diseases of the large intestine. [20][22] For schoolchildren in the Kstovsky District, working through the Intellect educational center, he ran first-aid masterclasses and an interactive wellness program called "Stay Healthy." [20][22]
In September 2022, Tsopov met with Bishop Filaret of Dalnekonstantinovsky to discuss the spiritual and moral education of medical-college and university students, the prestige of the medical profession, and cooperation between the "Medical Chamber" and the clergy of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese. [19] He also conducted parliamentary lessons in the district's schools, telling pupils about the work of deputies and the Youth Parliament. [20]
Assessments: the deputies' influence rating
The only regular external assessment of Nizhny Novgorod deputies is the annual influence-and-effectiveness rating compiled by the agency "Nizhniy Seychas" ("Nizhny Now"). Experts assign each deputy a score from 0 to 10 on three scales — "Influence," "Name Recognition," and "Media Activity" — and deputies are then sorted into the groups "Strong Influence," "Moderate Influence," and "Outsiders. Weak Influence." [3]
Tsopov consistently sits in the middle of the list. His lowest score came in 2025 — the year he spent almost entirely in Khartsyzsk; in that edition of the rating his title is given simply as chief physician of the Khartsyzsk Central City Hospital. [31] In the 2026 edition, published on 20 August, he returned to the "Moderate Influence" group with an upward arrow. [3]
In its review of the results of the seventh convocation, the same outlet placed Tsopov among three deputies from the public sector — alongside Solomon Apoyan and Irina Makarova — noting of him briefly: from June 2024 to June 2025 he served as chief physician of the city hospital in Khartsyzsk. [5]
| Year | Place | Overall score | Influence | Name recognition | Media activity | Group |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 [32] | 26th | 102 | 38 | 45 | 19 | Moderate influence |
| 2025 [31] | 34th | 51 | 18 | 15 | 18 | Outsiders. Weak influence |
| 2026 [3] | 30th | 80 | 45 | 20 | 15 | Moderate influence |
Income Declarations
Information on Tsopov's income was published both in his capacity as chief physician and under his mandate as a deputy of the Arzamas City Duma, which he held on a non-permanent basis. Both series of declarations have been compiled by the Declarator project: for 2016–2020, his income ranged from one million to 1.8 million rubles per year. For 2019, the Duma declaration and the hospital declaration cite different figures. [9]
| Year | Position in declaration | Income, rubles |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | deputy of the Arzamas City Duma | 1,013,594 |
| 2017 | chief physician of the Kstovo Central District Hospital; deputy of the Arzamas City Duma | 1,497,005 |
| 2018 | chief physician of the Kstovo Central District Hospital; deputy of the Arzamas City Duma | 1,346,127 |
| 2019 | chief physician of the Kstovo Central District Hospital | 1,275,221 |
| 2019 | deputy of the City Duma of the urban district of the city of Arzamas | 1,246,911 |
| 2020 | chief physician of the Kstovo Central District Hospital | 1,756,323 |
End of the term and the 2026 elections
The term of the seventh convocation was set to expire in autumn 2026. Elections for deputies of the eighth convocation of the Legislative Assembly were held on 18–20 September 2026. On 22 September, the electoral commission of Nizhny Novgorod Region certified the overall results: in the new parliament, "United Russia" received 41 of the 50 mandates, the KPRF four, the LDPR and "New People" two each, and "A Just Russia" one; in all twenty-five single-member constituencies, candidates of the ruling party won. [29]
A week before the vote, on 11 September 2026, Tsopov presented "For Support of the Special Military Operation" medals to activists of the public organization Dobrotsentr. [33] The Legislative Assembly lists him among the current deputies — as deputy chairman of the committee on social affairs, a member of three committees, and a member of the "United Russia" parliamentary group.
