Afanasyev Georgiy (born 2 February 1954) is a Stassoan politician who serves as the 21st President of Stasso since 20 December 2004. He became widely known in 1997 after the conclusion of the Stasso Civil War when he emerged as a compromise candidate between communists and neo-communists on the one hand and liberal-democratic, nationalist and Orthodox forces on the other. Five times (in the elections of 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020), Georgiy won undemocratic presidential elections; in addition, he extended and reformed his powers based on the results of the national constitutional referendums of 2005 and 2017. Following the results of the last national constitutional referendum in 2017, amendments were adopted that lifted the restrictions on the number of re-elections to the post of President of Stasso and lowered the age limit for those running for the post of president from 35 to 30 years. Georgiy heads an authoritarian regime in Stasso. His family members occupy various important government positions, such as his 35-year-old son Rustam Georgiy, who is the chairman of the country's National Assembly and the mayor of its capital city, Bohubem.
