Omelyan Pavlov (born Omelyan Perys Pavlov; Омелян Перис Павлов, 26 April 1970) is a Vinalian politician and economist currently serving as the 6th Prime Minister of Vinalia and the Leader of the Unionist Party since 2018. Previously serving as Minister of Internal Affairs under Turden Najic, between 2015 and 2019, and a member of the House of the People's from 2004 to 2010, and a member of the Senate of the Union since 2010 all representing his native Catherinsk.

Born in Catherinsk in 1970, Omelyan graduated from the Catherinsk Faculty of Economics in 1995, and became a high school teacher, while he pursued a degree in Politics. After graduating in 1999, Omelyan joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2000 moving to Red Bay, and would soon join the campaign of the then Senator of Red Bay Andrej Nepyip, who would win the Prime Ministership in 2002. Omelyan would return to Catherinsk in 2003 and run for the House of the People in 2004, being elected that year. He would remain in his post until 2010 where he would run and win for the Senate of the Union again for Catherinsk.

Quickly a high rising member inside the Unionist Party, Pavlov would join Turden Najic's wing of the Unionist Party called the "New Breed". Following the collapse of Ulyana Hryhorivna's Conservative government, Najic would be elected Prime Minister and Pavlov made Minister of Internal Affairs, as the Unionist Party took control of the government. Following Najic's decision to step down, Pavlov was promptly made the front runner of the Unionist Party and became it's leader, after a landslide victory Pavlov was made Prime Minister.

Pavlov has had a successful Prime Ministership, with his "New Breed" politics uniting the Unionist Party while the Conservative and Workers Party have suffered from internal struggle. Known for maintaining the "HGLP" (High Growth Low Poverty), policies of the Hryhorivna government. He is a proponent of the Asterian Third Way for foreign politics in Asteria, emphasizing Political Neutrality and economic integration with regional neighbours.

Early life

Omelyan Pavlov was born on the 26th of April 1970, in Catherinsk to a lawyer Nazar Pavlov and mother Polina Kononenko both from Catherinsk. After finishing his secondary education in 1988 Pavlov would serve his mandatory 2 years of military of service, joining the army and becoming a radio operator reaching the rank of corporal. Pavlov would attend the University of Catherinsk in 1990 for an Economics degree, he would graduate in 1995 and would become a teacher at his former high school for the subject of History, while attending University for a degree in politics.

Early career

Pavlov's early interest in politics stem from a friend of her mother Vasnetsova Alenka which was a Catherinsk City Representative from 1969 to 1996. Pavlov desired to enter University in search of a degree in politics but was dissuaded by his father who suggested a more worthwhile degree. Pavlov would join while in University the student government climbing to becoming it's president in 1994, Alenka would invite Pavlov to her campaign for mayor of Catherinsk in 1996 but Pavlov was forced to decline. Pavlov would after finishing his degree in 1999, accept a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and move to Red Bay the following year.

Pavlov would meet the then Senator of Red Bay Andrej Nepyip in 2001, do to Nepyip's wife, Kirigina Mariya being from Catherinsk. Pavlov would join Nepyip's campaign for re election in 2002, and leadership of the Unionist Party after Gary Druzus announced retirement, Nepyip would win both contests and would become Prime Minister. Pavlov would run unsuccessfully for Red Bay City representative in 2003, following this defeat and an offer from the University of Catherinsk for a full scholarship to get a Masters degree in Socio-Economics. Pavlov would return to Catherinsk to pursue his degree, but following recommendation from Nepyip he would run to represent his native 3rd District in the House of the People, a traditional Conservative Seat.

Pavlov would defeat the incumbent Tattar Milorad in 2004, winning 58% of the vote.

House of the People 2004-2010

Upon reaching the House of the People, Pavlov was noted for his support of the Prime Minister alongside their closeness with Pavlov usually being found among Nepyip's inner circle, being elected to the House Commission on Internal Affairs from 2004 to 2008, and the House Commission on Foreign Affairs from 2008 to 2010. Pavlov would be re elected again in 2006, with 65% of the vote being just one out of the 7 Unionists seats from 19 in the previous elections left in the South. His popularity in Catherinsk had also aided his fellow Unionist House member Gubanov Maksim in keeping his seat in Catherinsk.

Pavlov would come to national attention for his breaking of party line in opposition of the construction of the Dursun Dam, he would join a Workers, Green, National, and Red party alliance who would ultimately defeat the bill, Pavlov being only one of 3 Unionists to defect the Nepyip proposal. Pavlov would survive the 2008 election that saw the Unionist party defeated and lose the House and the Prime Ministership to the Conservative party of Ulyana Hryhorivna, with Pavlov being the only Unionist candidate to increase his margin to 68% of the vote. Ulyana offered Pavlov a seat in her cabinet but Pavlov declined instead accepting a position in the House's Commission of Foreign Affairs.

Pavlov would find himself a key Unionist supporter of Ulyana supporting her economic and social policies tackling poverty and strengthening Vinalian industry. With the 2010 elections ahead, Pavlov readied to run once again for the House, yet Unionist leadership advocated for Pavlov to challenge the Conservatives which had held all 3 seats in Catherinsk since 1998. Pavlov was marked at the top of the Unionist Catherinsk ticket, although polls showed the Unionist Party out of the threshold to win a seat. Pavlov would perform an interview with the Catherinsk New Press 2 days before the election, the publication would end up benefitting Pavlov as the Unionist party would gain the necessary threshold for Pavlov to enter into the Senate.

Senate of the Union 2010-2015

Pavlov and the Unionist party entered into the Senate in a state of decay, out of 10 seats in the senate held in 2008, 3 had been lost giving the Workers party the second largest majority in the senate, Pavlov had been the only Unionist to gain a seat in the senate. Pavlov was appointed to the Senate Commission on Internal Affairs, a post he held until 2015. Pavlov fell under the influence of the mostly unknown senator from Velkarichka Turden Najic, which Nepyip had instructed Pavlov to contact, Turden advocated that the Unionist party be willing to part ways with the Grand Union Alliance, instead to align itself with either the Conservatives or the Workers party to achieve it's majority. Pavlov supported those thoughts and became part of the "New Breed" movement (supporters of Najic) in the Unionist party.

Pavlov would defend his seat in 2012, while 2 more seats were lost in the Senate as the Unionist party retreated to Conservative gains. Najic would find himself as the leader of a defeated Unionist Party which could not match the Conservatives or the Workers. Pavlov would find himself as the right hand man of Najic, as both worked to secure key legislature, among such legislature was a provision to improve Vinalian rail infrastructure, along with helping to ensure funding for the acquiring of Hallandic military vehicles for a highly mobile quick reaction force.
