Recall that after a meeting with Vladimir Putin on June 22, Alan Gagloev was appointed his advisor and announced his resignation from the post of president of South Ossetia. The head of the republic's government, Marat Kambolov, was appointed as the acting president of South Ossetia. Early presidential elections in South Ossetia are scheduled for September 18. During Gagloev's presidency, the degradation of political and social institutions continued in South Ossetia, and the outflow of the population from the republic reached such proportions that a new presidential candidate was sent from outside, analysts told the "Caucasian Knot".
