'''Aleksey Elmirovich Pushkarev''' (April 29, 1830 - January 14, 1904) was a Volkian political leader and statesman who served as the first [[President of Volkia|president of the Volkian Federative Republic]] from 1889 to 1897. Previously, he served as the Chairman of the Volkian Provisional Government during the transition period from kingdom to federal republic from 1888 to 1889, Prime Minister of the Volkian Kingdom from 1884 to 1889, and as Member of Parliament for East Satka from 1876 to 1889. He is widely considered to be one of the {{wp|Father of the Nation|founding fathers of the Volkian federal republic}} due to his actions and leadership to establish the republic.
Pushkarev's first public office was serving as Mayor of Satka from 1862 to 1870. He was elected to the Makushin House of Delegates in 1870 and served until his election to the Royal House of Commons in 1876 as MP for East Satka. Pushkarev was one of the first MPs to speak out against [[Yuri IV]]'s rule as king in 1882, citing economic stagnation and growing social unrest. His demand for change eventually led to his ascension as prime minister following the victory of the Farmer's
Pushkarev played a key role in granting voting rights to all adult Volkians regardless of gender and the adoption of the [[Constitution of Volkia|Volkian constitution]]. His leadership helped abolish the monarchy and created a strong federal government that ruled over the kingdom's former territory. The new government was widely popular and received support across the social classes. Although he tried to reconcile with monarchists in Volkia's north, his government was forced to combat pro-monarchist militias during his tenure as president. The largest of these revolts occurred on June 5, 1895 and was put down the following day.
