Marat Kambolov has been acting president since June. Then Alan Gagloev left the post of head of the republic, who became an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He called the change of post an important step for South Ossetia, as it brings the republic closer to Russia. In the Kremlin, such a scenario was excluded.
