The government has released Sergei Kostin from his post as senior manager at Russian Highways (Avtodor) so he can move to another job, Interfax reported Tuesday.
The Interfax source on the state company’s board of managers did not specify what new job Kostin would be taking, but did say he is looking over several offers and intends to keep working in this sector.
Kostin had been on the Avtodor management board since Dec. 21, 2009. He has been replaced by the company’s first deputy chief for investment and finances Sergei Kelbakh.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
