"Mikhail Vladimirovich submitted documents to the election commission of the Khabarovsk Territory to participate in the election of the governor," the election committee told TASS.
On June 19, members of the LDPR party nominated Degtyarev as their candidate for the post of head of the Khabarovsk Territory.
Degtyarev himself noted that he decided to run for the post of head of the region after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
