Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed Vitaly Korolyov, a senior official from the Federal Antimonopoly Service, as the acting governor of Tver Region. The move, announced by the Kremlin, highlights the administration’s approach to regional governance and the increasing role of economic oversight in local administration.
Korolyov, who joined the antimonopoly service in 2005, has steadily climbed the ranks, becoming deputy chief by 2015. His appointment to the governorship is seen as a strategic decision to align regional leadership with the Kremlin’s economic priorities.
Analysts suggest that this move may reflect a broader trend of integrating antimonopoly enforcement with regional governance, potentially leading to more stringent economic regulations and oversight in the Tver Region. The decision underscores the Kremlin’s focus on maintaining economic control and enforcing regulatory standards across the country.
