Vlasov: Information about the resignation of  Yevkurov is intended to  undermine his position

 

 

Today Russian press reported the alleged forthcoming resignation of

some heads of the North Caucasian republics, Ingush President

Yunus-Bek Yevkurov among them. In particular, the RBC daily, citing a

source in the Kremlin, wrote that the head of Ingushetia may be

dismissed in the next six months in anticipation of the 2014 Olympics.

 

According to the publication, the authorities intend to replace some

regional leaders before the Olympics in Sochi. It assumes that the

start of this campaign took place  in January, when the President of

Dagestan, Magomedsalam Magomedov, was dismissed and replaced by

Ramazan Abdulatipov.

 

Information about the possible dismissal of Yevkurov is nothing

more than an attempt to undermine his position, the Chief

Editor of VK Alexei Vlasov believes. "There are two possible versions. First,

the Kremlin has a contender for the post of head of Ingushetia. Or the

second option, it is a deliberate leak to undermine the position of

the authority of Yevkurov. It is a test balloon, with which either

someone in the Kremlin, or someone interested in the possible future

retirement of Yevkurov has decided to test how public opinion in

Ingushetia and the Kremlin will react. It has happened previously, and

always these test information campaigns ended with actual

resignations," he notes.

 

The acting head of Dagestan, Ramazan Abdulatipov, described the possible

resignation of Yevkurov as rumour and gossip. "I do not know about that, but

 I appreciate Yevkurov very much as a friend, as a patriot and so on.

But everything else is rumour and gossip," he said.
