Retired ladder // Where do Russian governors go

[ad_1]


This week it became known that the former governor of the Ryazan region, Nikolai Lyubimov, joined the “senatorial troika” of United Russia party Pavel Malkov, his successor as head of the region. This means that if Mr. Malkov wins the September elections, Mr. Lyubimov will most likely continue his political career in the Federation Council. Together with him, another recent retiree, the former head of the Saratov region, Valery Radaev, may get into the upper house of the Russian parliament. About how the tradition developed to send governors on a “deserved pension” to the Federation Council and what other employment options they had after their resignation in the last ten years, see Kommersant’s material.
