Georgy Filimonov became the head of the Vologda Oblast in the fall of 2023 and has since become one of the most media-friendly regional leaders. He proposes introducing prohibition in the region, goes out in public to the song "Slavic Sky", makes his subordinates do push-ups and scolds them for their poor knowledge of English. Portraits of Stalin and Mao Zedong hang in Filimonov's office. In Telegram channels, the governor is called a protégé of the first deputy head of the presidential administration Sergei Kiriyenko and a friend of Putin's daughter Katerina Tikhonova.
