Pavel Rostovtsev resigned early as a Krasnoyarsk city council deputy after being appointed to a new post in Irkutsk region. The move was reviewed by the city self government commission.

Acting Minister for Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy of the Irkutsk Region Pavel Rostovtsev has resigned early from his powers as a deputy of the Krasnoyarsk City Council in connection with his transfer to a new place of work.
The statement by Pavel Rostovtsev was considered by Krasnoyarsk deputies on August 19 at a meeting of the standing committee on city self-government. As clarified by the City Council, the committee unanimously voted in favor of the proposed decision.
“In accordance with the requirements of federal legislation, a civil servant cannot simultaneously be a deputy of an elected local self-government body,” explained the chairman of the standing committee on city self-government, Vitaly Drozdov.
Background: Rostovtsev Pavel Alexandrovich was born on September 21, 1971, in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Vladimir Region. On July 8, 2015, Pavel Rostovtsev, silver medalist of the Olympic Games and three-time world biathlon champion, was appointed acting Minister for Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy of the Irkutsk Region. He was appointed acting sports minister after Pavel Nikitin resigned of his own accord.
Recall that last year a conflict occurred between Pavel Rostovtsev and commentator Dmitry Guberniev at Sheremetyevo Airport. It is no secret to anyone that for more than a year the relationship between them has been “tense”.
