The Last of a Dying Breed
The Last of a Dying Breed Local Russian News In English
This morning the Kremlin oversaw the rapid appointment of Rustem Khamitov to the Bashkortostan Republic regional presidency, only four days after it finally managed to oust the long-serving, now ex-President Murtaza Rakhimov. The Moscow authorities capitalized on the summer lull to replace Rakhimov, an ethnic Bashkir who has weathered Kremlin attempts to oust him, by relying on nationalist support. With today?s appointment of Khamitov, Moscow secures itself a more reliable, ?technocratic? Bashkortostan governor, ahead of the Russian regional parliament elections scheduled for October 2011.
