—POPOV TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR?

A new job outside Chechnya may have been lined up for Anatoly Popov, now clearly on his way out as the Kadyrov administration’s prime minister (see Chechnya Weekly, January 14). According to a February 11 article in Moskovskie novosti, Popov “has not denied that he is going to run for the governorship of the Volgograd oblast.”
