Alla Barkhatnova has been dismissed from the position of the occupation-appointed Minister of Labor and Social Protection of part of the temporarily occupied Kherson region.
This was reported by pro-Russian pseudo-oppositional Telegram channels.
Today was the occupation official’s last day at work. Sources have not yet named the reasons for her dismissal.
Barkhatnova arrived in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region in spring 2022 from the Donbas.
Until 2014 she worked as chief accountant and director of several enterprises and ran a business. In 2014 she organized a pro-Russian referendum in the city, worked as an accountant in the Ministry of Social Policy of the so-called DPR, and was elected as a deputy to the “parliament of the DPR” from the “Free Donbas” party of the “Russian Spring” activists Pavlo and Kateryna Hubarev.
In spring 2022 she came to Kherson with Kateryna Hubareva, where she was appointed acting head of the occupation’s Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of Kherson Oblast.
