Alexander Voloshin

Alexander Voloshin

Alexander Staliyevich Voloshin ( _ru. Александр Стальевич Волóшин) (born March 3, 1956) is a Russian politician who briefly was chairman of the Board of Directors of Unified Energy Systems, the former Russian state power utility, which was liquidated as part of the country's comprehensive power sector reforms on 1 July 2008.

He served as head of the Russian presidential administration, or "Chief of Staff", in Russia from 1999 until his resignation on October 29, 2003. While chief of staff, Voloshin was widely regarded as pro-business, and his resignation amidst the prosecutorial focus on Yukos Oil Company, was seen as part of a broader turn away from free-market systems.
