Background[edit]
Then–Deputy Minister of Defense Aleksey Dyumin was appointed acting Governor of Tula Oblast in February 2016, replacing Vladimir Gruzdev.[1] Dyumin ran for a full term in September 2016 as an Independent and won the election with 84.17% of the vote.[2] Dyumin was reelected to a second term in 2021 with 83.58%.[3]
Dyumin, a close confidant of President Vladimir Putin and one of his so-called "adjutants", has been consistently considered for a potential promotion in defense or security services (as Minister of Defense or potential Minister of Defense Industry) but the governor himself denied those rumours.[4] On May 14, 2024, President Putin appointed Governor Aleksey Dyumin as his aide in charge of military-industrial complex, sports, and State Council.[5][6]
