President of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin announced former Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Alexander Misharin might join the company, Prime reports.

‘We have discussed this option, and we would be interested in him (Misharin –editor’s note) joining the company. However, since he used to be a government official, this would require some expert advice on how to comply with all the procedures that are involved when a civil servant comes into a business,’ Yakunin said.

Yakunin did not specify what position exactly Misharin might be offered at Russian Railways. He did say, however, that the ex-Governor could get a ‘top’ post.

Yakunin also pointed out that Misharin had a lot of experience in the field of railway transportation.
