On Monday, President Dmitri A. Medvedev made one of the most complex decisions of his presidency, nominating Magomedsalam M. Magomedov as the next president.
Magomedov, 45, is a Russian economist and businessman who rose to power because of his father who led Dagestan from 1987-2006.
President Medvedev appointed four new governors on Monday as well. However, the descision to appoint the new president of Dagestan was anxiously awaited, with some people saying that the political competition led to a small increase in Russian violence.
