activities

Bakow is one of the first legal private entrepreneurs in the SU and in Russia. In 1987, while still at university, he founded the travel agency "Zeder", the first in Russia, four months after the establishment of independent cooperatives in the USSR was permitted. On the basis of this agency he created the company "East Line" in 1991. 1997–2000 he was general director of the town construction company Metallurgische Fabrik Serow with approx. 9000 employees. This experience became decisive for his further career. Bakow has been actively buying land since 2002 and is now one of the largest landowners in the Urals. As a building contractor, he actively had country houses built for sale. He also works as a political advisor. Most recently he has been establishing internet, media and social networks to combat corruption. He is funding a project that aims to conserve trout stocks in the rivers of the northern Urals . He also organizes rallies and political campaigns for the conservation of forests and rivers in the Urals and fights against the dumping of radioactive waste on Russian soil. He combats marine pollution and works to preserve the planet's natural resources.

politics

In 1994, Bakov was elected to the Serov District MP in the Sverdlovsk Oblast Parliament, Sverdlovsk Oblast Duma, and chairman of the Duma legislative committee. His first acts as a MP were directed against the federal appointment of mayors and regional governors. With his team of like-minded people, he managed to carry out the executive government elections from 1995 to 1996. At the same time Bakow founded and supported a system of social control, the so-called "Social Ambulance". In 1994 he became an active member of the Duma deputy Eduard Rossel's team . There he became the political coordinator of the party "Reshaping the Urals", which campaigned for the independence of the Urals from Russia. He was also a member of the Rossel Election Preparation Committee in 1995 - a good year for Rossel as it was the year he was elected. Bakov took part in the mayoral elections for Yekaterinburg and finished second, after Arkadiy Chernetsky . In 1996 he was elected vice-chairman of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Duma and nominated for the post of governor of the Kurgan region . However, his candidacy for this post was not registered.

In 2000, Bakov was elected to the House of Representatives (upper chamber) of the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast (through the individual mandate of the Serov constituency). He fought against corruption and the redistribution of property. He also organized a public movement against Mafia structures that opposed the criminal organization "Uralmash". To ensure the prosperity of the population, Bakow organized educational initiatives, created consumer and credit unions, local councils and condominiums . As a member of parliament, Bakov proposed increasing child allowances and introducing regional allowances for state pensions.

In 2003 Bakov took part in the elections for governor of the Sverdlovsk region . He accused Eduard Rossel of having connections with the criminal organization "Uralmash". Anton Bakov lost the election in the second ballot with 330,000 votes against 600,000 from Rossel. In 2003 he was elected to the State Duma with a single mandate from Serov Electoral District No. 167 . After the election he joined the Union of Right Forces party . He oversaw all of the party's successful election campaigns in all constituencies (except Chechnya) from 2004 to 2007.

In 2006 Anton Bakov was elected secretary in electoral matters of the Union of Right Forces. He is widely considered to be the one who suggested moving away from traditional rhetorical and populist slogans from right-wing parties, such as increasing pensions and helping the poor. Because of the bankruptcy of the Union of Right Forces in the 2007 election and the abolition of electoral districts with individual mandate, Bakow was not part of the State Duma in the next legislative period.

On October 14, 2010, Bakow was elected vice-chairman of the Federal Council of the "Federal Action Party".

In April 2012, Bakov was elected chairman of the Federal Council of the Monarchist Party of the Russian Federation . He advocates the maximum autonomy of the Urals from Moscow .
