Purgin Out as DPR Peoples Republic Chairman… Pushilin In

Official sources told us that Vice Chairman of the DPR Peoples Republic, D  Pushilin took over from A Purgin as Chairman of the DPR Peoples Republic, saying, “Purgin resigned his post at a meeting of the Peoples Republic, after an overwhelmingly negative vote from the deputies. D V Pushilin is now the Acting Chairman of the DPR Peoples Republic”

Today, Acting Chairman of the DPR , D V Pushilin told us that A E Purgin’s resignation as Chairman of the DPR Chairman of the DPR Peoples  is due to his attempt to disrupt a parliamentary session. An official release from Pushilin stated:

The last straw was his attempt today to disrupt the meeting of the Peoples Republic, when the deputies had to listen to false statements made with the aim of forcing a destabilization of the situation. [Purgin] became influenced by Aleksei Aleksandrov, head of the DPR  administrative apparatus. This caused significant difficulties for the work of the Republic; in addition, Aleksei Georgyevich took a number of political positions inconsistent with the policy of the entire state. I regret that Purgin came under Aleksandrov’s influence. A group of deputies called an extraordinary session of the Peoples Republic, with 70 of 73 deputies voting to remove A E Purgin from his post as Chairman of the DPR Peoples Republic. The Acting Chairman of the DPR Peoples Republic  is now D V Pushilin.

Pushilin’s first official action was to dismiss Aleksandrov as head of the administrative apparatus of the Peoples Republic.
