'''Matvei Andreivich Lukyanov''' ([[Volkian language|Volkian]]: Матвей Андреевич Лукьянов; July 2, 1903 - March 27, 1981) was a [[Volkia|Volkian]] politician who served as the [[List of presidents of Volkia|12th president of Volkia]] from 1961 to 1971. The last member of the [[Conservative Party (Volkia)|Volkian Conservatives]] to be elected [[President of Volkia]], he previously served in the [[Volkian Army]] and was a veteran of the [[Volkian Civil War]]. He retired as a lieutenant colonel and entered politics soon after in 1946, winning one of [[Vladinsk Oblast|Vladinsk Oblast's]] seats in the [[Chamber of Deputies (Volkia)|Chamber of Deputies]]. He represented Vladinsk's 3rd District until 1956 when he was appointed as Volkia's ambassador to Tano.

Lukyanov was the first conservative since [[Boris Engovatov]] in 1920 to win a presidential election and would become the second president to win the presidency three consecutive times. This is disputed by many in academia and in politics, as widespread fraud was found in both the 1964 and 1968 presidential elections. Lukyanov's tenure was marred with economic stagnation, police brutality, and government crackdowns. Twelve people were shot dead by police in 1970 during riots in [[Volkgoroda]], which sparked further civil unrest. Lukyanov declared a state of emergency in late 1970 and attempted to suspend the 1970 midterm elections, but this was struck down by the [[Federal Supreme Court of Volkia|Federal Supreme Court]] shortly before the elections took place.

Lukyanov's tenure was marred with economic stagnation, police brutality, and government crackdowns. Twelve people were shot dead by police in 1970 during riots in [[Volkgoroda]], which sparked further civil unrest. Lukyanov declared a state of emergency in early 1970 and attempted to suspend the 1970 midterm elections, but this was struck down by the [[Federal Supreme Court of Volkia|Federal Supreme Court]] shortly before the elections took place.


In the 1970 elections, the Volkian Conservatives resoundingly lost their majority in both the [[Federal Council (Volkia)|Federal Council]] and [[Chamber of Deputies (Volkia)|Chamber of Deputies]]. Through a combined effort by the [[Social Democratic Union]], [[Liberal Party (Volkia)|Liberal Party]], and [[Socialist Labor League]], Lukyanov was impeached by the Chamber of Deputies on January 7, 1971 for high treason, anti-Volkia activities, and electoral fraud. The Federal Council convicted Lukyanov on February 11, 1971 on all charges. He was subsequently removed from office and banned for life from ever holding another political office. He remains the only Volkian president to have been impeached and convicted. Following his conviction, [[Vice President of Volkia|Vice President]] [[Mikhail Yurevich]] became President. After another major defeat in the 1972 elections, the Volkian Conservatives rebranded the party and distanced themselves from Lukyanov.
