A talented manager during his career managed to lead Koryakia, the Amur Region and Sakhalin (he was appointed there after the previous head was loudly caught on a bribe). And in early September, Kozhemyako was urgently redirected to Primorye - in order to resolve the situation that had developed there after the cancellation of the elections, and win new ones.
