❗️Cossack General Pavel Ivanovich Platov was elected Acting Supreme Ataman of SKVRiZ as Nikolai Diakonov steps down.

On September 26, a meeting of the Board of the All-Russian Public Organization for the Development of Cossackdom "Union of Cossack Soldiers of Russia and Abroad" (SKVRiZ) was held via video conference. The meeting was attended by 10 out of the 14 Board members.

Guests included V.A. Kriulin, Deputy Supreme Ataman – Representative in the Central Federal District and Chairman of the Control and Audit Commission, as well as O.V. Likontsev, Ataman of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Branch of SKVRiZ.

The main items on the agenda concerned supporting the operations of SKVRiZ and preparing for the upcoming reporting and election Circle scheduled for October.

The Board also considered Nikolai Leonidovich Diakonov's request to step down from his position as Supreme Ataman of SKVRiZ due to his inability to fully fulfill his duties. Since 2022, N.L. Diakonov has been an active participant in the Special Military Operation (SMO) and a serving officer in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. For almost this entire period, he has been continuously stationed in the SMO zone. His military service demands intense effort, focus, and dedication to the combat missions set by command, requiring him to remain on-site with active duty units. Consequently, he is unable to perform the duties of Supreme Ataman in full. N.L. Diakonov therefore requested that the Cossacks relieve him of his duties as Supreme Ataman ahead of schedule.

In accordance with the Charter, the Board resolved to grant N.L. Diakonov’s request. By decision of the Board, Cossack General Pavel Ivanovich Platov was elected Acting Supreme Ataman of SKVRiZ until the Circle is held and a new Ataman is elected.

Other matters discussed included the Law "On the Russian Cossackdom," proposed amendments to the SKVRiZ Charter, and the distribution of regulations governing SKVRiZ activities to regional and structural branches. Information from the Chairman of the Control and Audit Commission was also presented.
