Dzambolat Tadtayev, the de facto prime minister of Georgia’s occupied Tskhinvali/South Ossetia region, resigned on June 8, as Alan Gagloev, the region’s de facto president, has nominated Marat Kambolov, a former Russia official, to lead a new cabinet. While Kambolov’s Russian citizenship is not confirmed, he has reported extensive work experience in Russia’s federal government bodies.

The so-called parliament of the region has yet to approve Kambolov’s nomination.

The resignation of Tadtayev, who chaired the de facto government since February, and the nomination of Kambolov, who has been Gagloev’s adviser since May 27, came amid a so-called “Treaty on Deepening Allied Cooperation” signed by Tskhinvali and Moscow on May 9 and already ratified by both sides.

Tadyaev submitted his resignation during a June 8 meeting of the de facto government, where the cooperation with Russia and implementation of agreements with Moscow, including the May 9 treaty, were reportedly discussed. Gagloev, who chaired the meeting, reportedly said that a “new stage” is beginning in Tskhinvali’s relations with Russia.

The May 9 treaty, which Tbilisi has said is another step toward the region’s annexation, allows, among other provisions, “citizens” of either side to hold state and municipal positions in the other. In his short-term capacity as Gagloev’s adviser, Kambolov was tasked with overseeing the implementation of the treaty. His responsibilities were also said to include “coordinating joint projects aimed at developing integration, investment cooperation, and infrastructure programs.”

According to RFE/RL’s Georgian Service, since 1990s, Kambolov had worked in a number of Russian government bodies, including Russia’s education ministry, the ministry of nationalities and federal relations, and had headed the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute.”
