Citing costs and construction issues in the preparation for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin replaced Olimpstroi CEO Viktor Kolodyazhny Saturday with Taimuraz Bolloyev, who joined Olimpstroi as vice president in January.
The Moscow Times quotes Putin saying, "when high-ranking officials do not assist in lower prices but, on the contrary, demand price retentions and increases, that is totally unacceptable in today's circumstances. Nothing of the kind will be allowed in the future. I ask you to pay attention to that".
Bolloyev owns a construction company and will be the third CEO since it was created shortly after Sochi was selected the 2014 Winter Games host city in 2007.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, the top government official in charge of preparations for the Sochi Games, said Kolodyazhny asked to be relieved of his position for personal reasons, reports the Moscow Times.
He said, "this job involves a lot of strain and commitment, 24 hours a day".
Valery Suchkov, a member of Sochi's Public Chamber, said Kolodyazhny was a poor manager and his dismissal resulted from his incapability to run Olimpstroi effectives. He said, "it was clear from the time he was appointed that he wouldn't stay in office very long. His level of professionalism was too low for such a position".
