Vladimir Putin began his working day on Thursday, with a minute of silence in tribute to Emergencies Minister Yevgeny Zinichev, who tragically died the day before.
The Emergencies Ministry said earlier on Wednesday that Zinichev, 55, had been killed in the line of duty during the Norilsk exercise. He was appointed Acting Governor of Russia’s Kaliningrad region in July 2016, served as Deputy Director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) between October 2016 and May 2018, and took the position of the emergencies minister on May 18, 2018.
On Thursday, President of Russia awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation to General of the Army Yevgeny Zinichev (posthumously) for heroism, bravery and courage displayed in his line of duty.
