Politics
editStalnuhhin has been a member of the Narva City Council on and off again, from 1994 to 1995, from 1999 to 2003, and, eventually, was the chairman of the City Council from 2003 to 2011. He has been a member of the Riigikogu on and off again since 1999. He initially was a member from 1999 to 2007, but withdrew from the Riigikogu in favor of being a part of the Narva City Council. He also applied for the 2011 Riigikogu elections, received 8,584 votes and was elected again. In the 2015 Riigikogu elections, he again received 3,648 votes in his constituency of Ida-Viru County, and became elected again.
He is the chairman of the Riigikogu state budget control committee.
He was a candidate for the 2014 European Parliament election in Estonia and received 11,550 votes, but was not elected. He was the third Centre Party candidate after Yana Toom and Edgar Savisaar.[1]
At the beginning of 2013, Stalnuhhin was fined because he walked in Narva with a dog without a leash.[2]
On 29 September 2015, the press reported that Stalnuhhin leased a Honda CR-V for his spouse Irina, whose expenses she paid with a payback allowance, for €744 a month. Stalnuhhin does not have a drivers license.[3][4] Several Riigikogu members condemned Stalnuhhin's behavior, among them Speaker of the Riigikogu Eiki Nestor.[5]
In 2015, the Estonian Taxpayers Association awarded Stalnuhhin the title of Taxpayer's Enemy.
In September 2022 Stalnuhhin was expelled from the Centre Party after calling members of the Government "fascists", in response to the removal of Soviet monuments in Narva.[6]
