Leader of Russia-Backed Georgian Region Resigns to Become Putin Adviser
Alan Gagloyev will advise Vladimir Putin as Moscow moves to align South Ossetia’s laws and expand support benefits for residents.
- On Tuesday, South Ossetia's leader Alan Gagloyev resigned to become an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, weeks after the ratification of a key integration agreement with Moscow.
- The integration agreement, ratified last month, seeks to align South Ossetia's laws with Russia's while committing Moscow to provide social support benefits and boost local living standards.
- Gagloyev, who took office in 2022, appointed Prime Minister Marat Kambolov as interim president and stated he would immediately begin work in the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation.
- In Georgia, both the ruling Georgian Dream party and opposition factions condemned the integration treaty, characterizing it as a de facto annexation of the breakaway territory by Moscow.
- Russia maintains military bases in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and the leadership shuffle suggests continued efforts to tighten Moscow's political grip on occupied Georgian territory.
