Biography

Sergey Menyaylo was born in Alagir on 22 August 1960 to a Russian father and an Ossetian mother.[3] In 1979, he graduated as a navigational engineer, and served in the Northern Fleet.

In 1990 he was elected a member of the Murmansk Regional Council. In 2008 he participated in the Russo-Georgian War. The following year, he was appointed deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet by Presidential decree.[4]

In April 2010, he was candidate of the United Russia party for a position in North Ossetia-Alania.[5]

In December 2011 he left military service.

On 14 April 2014 Aleksei Chaly, the acting Governor of Sevastopol since the beginning of the Crimean Crisis of 2014, resigned his position and asked Vladimir Putin to appoint Menyaylo as the "interim governor" of Sevastopol.[6] That same day he was confirmed in position by a presidential decree.[7]

He resigned his position at the end of July 2016, and was later appointed as a Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District.[8][9]
