In the 2020 presidential election Surkova was elected to a second term with 51.28% of the vote following the third round of counting.
Early life
Surkova was born September 16, 1970 at Volodomyr Nizamutdinov Memorial Hospital located in Zuyevka, Ozyoretsk Oblast, Volkia. Her mother, Ludmila Kilmova, is a clinical psychiatrist; her father, Boyan Surkov, is a retired Volkian Army intelligence officer. Surkova has two brothers: Lukyan Surkov is an officer in the Volkian Air Force and Andrei Surkov is a special agent with the Federal Investigative Service.
Surkova moved multiple times during her childhood due to her father's career in the military but returned to Zuyevka when she was 18 to attend Ozyoretsk Federal University. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from the school and went on to attend Ilyushin University in Shimanovsk Oblast for her law degree.
Law career
Surkova was admitted to the Ozyoretsk Oblast Bar in 1994 and began work as a criminal prosecutor in the Zuyevka District Attorney's Financial Integrity Unit that same year. After two years she transferred to the Major Violators Unit and began trying gang and firearm related cases, as well as homicides. During her time with Major Violators she successfully tried several high profile capital murder cases, including the Kholodreka serial killer case.
After five years with the Zuyevka DA, Surkova joined the Federal Attorney's Office in Volkgoroda and continued her work as a prosecutor for another three years.
