Vladislav Andreyevich Davankov (Russian: Владислав Андреевич Даванков; born 25 February 1984, Smolensk) is a Deputy Chair in the State Duma of Russia since 2021. Davankov sits in the State Duma with the liberal-oriented New People caucus, which, with him as a key member, was the only parliamentary party to not support the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions from Ukraine in the prelude to the Russian invasion.[1]
Davankov was running as a candidate in the 2024 Russian presidential election, and announced in February 2024 that he was in favour of "peace and negotiations, but on our terms, and without a rollback" on the war in Ukraine, as well as the ending of unnecessary censorship.[2] The Kremlin reportedly attempted to stop him from becoming a candidate due to his relatively youthful age contrasting with the aging 71-year-old authoritarian president Vladimir Putin.[3][4] He has thus been described as both "the most liberal candidate on the ballot" and "the most likely to become the alternative-to-Putin candidate", with some polls showing him in second place behind Putin.[2][5][4] It has been noted that he has previously taken conservative stances on issues, such as playing a key role in introducing a bill to make gender transition illegal.[2] As part of his campaign, he also stated that he opposed the use of cheap migrant labour in Russia.[6]
According to the official results, Davankov finished third, behind Putin and Kharitonov, earning 3.9% of the vote. However, he performed better abroad, winning majorities in several countries.[7] He conceded his defeat and affirmed his support for Putin and the war the following day.[8][9]
