Former head of government of Chechnya appointed assistant to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation

The former head of the government of the Chechen Republic, Muslim Khuchiev, became an assistant to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced this in his Telegram channel.

  “We are proud that worthy sons of the Chechen people serve faithfully in various spheres of government of the country and bring benefit to our great Motherland with their professional work,” wrote the head of Chechnya.

Muslim Khuchiev resigned from the post of republican prime minister on May 21. He has held this position since 2018.
