Today, the Tallinn City Government appointed Julianna Jurtšenko as the new district governor of Lasnamäe. She will assume her duties starting October 1.

Julianna Jurtšenko obtained her higher education in business management from The Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences in 2022. Between 2011 and 2016, she worked in various positions in the Haabersti District Government. From 2016 to 2019, she served as Deputy Governor of the Põhja-Tallinn District and then worked at the Chancellery of the Riigikogu until February 2022. Jurtšenko also previously held the position of Lasnamäe District Governor from February 7, 2022, to April 14, 2024.

Julianna Jurtšenko emphasized that as district governor, she will focus on advancing several important projects for the residents of Lasnamäe that have yet to be realized. "While only a few final efforts remain to open the new Lasnamäe Social Center, we still have a lot of work ahead to ensure progress on major projects like the reconstruction of Peterburi tee, the construction of a new swimming pool, sports complex, and other projects in their early stages," she said. "Despite the economic downturn and the need for savings, the district government must continue to ensure the quality of services provided, whether related to cleanliness, leisure opportunities, or social welfare," added Jurtšenko.

District governors are appointed for a term limited to the duration of the current city government’s mandate.
