On May 11, Sergei Shoigu took office as the Governor of the Moscow Region, taking the oath during the inauguration, the RIA Novosti website reports. Earlier, Shoigu said that he had already begun to think about the composition of the future government of the Moscow Region and did not see the point of completely changing the team of his predecessor Boris Gromov. However, as the governor, Shoigu will not be able to, unlike Gromov, at the same time, simultaneously head the regional government.
