He is also a member of the General Council of the United Russia party. Alexander Ishchenko is very active in youth organizations such as the Youth Parliament of Rostov and the regional political-military youth organization “Youth Guard”. As Chairman of the Legislative Assembly, he is a public figure and often appears on local and national television and news and at public events.
