Vladislav Romantsov, who previously headed the IT department, has become the new head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation. The announcement of his appointment was shared by associates of Alexei Navalny.
According to their information, the former director of the FBK, Ivan Zhdanov, left his position to devote more attention to the development of the YouTube show "The Most Important Thing." He had held the position of head of the foundation since 2018.
Romantsov joined the FBK in 2013 as a volunteer during the Moscow election campaign. He later worked in the sociological and IT departments, and in 2020, he took over leadership of the foundation's IT division.
"For me, it is a great honor and a serious responsibility to continue Alexei's work, now together with Yulia Navalnaya. It is important not to give up, remain true to our ideals, and trust the team—without this, everything loses its meaning," Romantsov remarked on his appointment.
