Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed his former bodyguard as Minister of Emergency Situations. The appointment came just months after his predecessor mysteriously fell from a waterfall and died.
Major General Alexander Kurenkov, 49, was appointed by Putin on Tuesday as the president's sixth bodyguard to be appointed to senior government posts.
Yevgeny Zinichev previously held the post of Minister of Energy, also a former bodyguard of Putin.
He died falling from a waterfall over 30 meters high amid suspicions of his death.
According to the ministry he headed, the 55-year-old died in Norilsk as he tried to rescue a cameraman who fell off a cliff during an interview.
