City Governor
In April 2012, resigned Sergey Antufiev, the governor of the Smolensk region.Alexei Ostrovsky was appointed interim head of the region.This decision of the government was called strange.For the first time such a position has been admitted is not a member of the "United Russia", but most importantly, a man who has had no experience of such work, he had no idea about the national economic sector.
