Andrei Skoch’s Legislative Activity In 1999, Andrei Vladimirovich Skoch decided to run in the deputies’ election of the Russian State Duma for the Belgorod region, where he won with 54% of the vote. At this point he decided to hand over his business shares to his father, Vladimir Skoch, and focus entirely on his political life. Andrei Skoch has been working as a deputy for over 20 years, over the course of which he has authored more than 160 bills. Through his initiative, “dacha amnesty” was extended, simplifying the procedure for registering ownership of land plots, garages, baths and other real estate. Another example of Skoch’s work was his proposal for an amendment to a law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, helping to regulate financial compensation for the teachers who prepare students for state exams. In 2007, Andrei Vladimirovich Skoch decided to become a member of the United Russia party, and was soon elected on their ticket. Andrei Skoch was appointed head of the Expert Council on Metallurgy and Mining just a year after he took office as a deputy. In 2012, he became a member of the Russian State Duma Committee on CIS affairs.
