The governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Uss, is preparing to resign. The politician has already written a letter of resignation, reports RBC, citing sources close to the presidential administration.
Uss can take the post of senator of the Legislative Assembly of the region. While the governor’s place may go to Deputy Finance Minister Mikhail Kotyukov.
Alexander Uss has been in office since 2018. He expected to be re-elected as governor, but the Kremlin was skeptical of the idea due to the politician’s low ratings and demand from locals for change of government.
Earlier, it was reported that the governor’s son, Artem Uss, was arrested in absentia in Russia in October 2022 on suspicion of money laundering and placed on the federal wanted list. On March 21, 2023, the Milan court approved the businessman’s extradition to the United States. Two days later, Uss Jr escaped from house arrest by breaking an electronic bracelet. At the beginning of April, the businessman announced that he was in Russia.
