Preliminary information indicates that Lieutenant General Rinat Enikeev, the head of the Department of Supervision and Preventive Studies at the Ministry of Emergencies, offered his resignation of his own accord. Reports from a ministry source in central offices, along with confirmation from another ministry source, point to his voluntary departure from the post. A formal dismissal decision has not yet been announced or finalized.
According to sources, Enikeev has already said farewell to his colleagues and team. The exact reasons behind his decision to leave have not been disclosed publicly, and there is no official statement detailing the circumstances at this time.
Enikeev was born in Moscow in 1976 and pursued education at the Moscow Institute of Fire Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia as well as Moscow State Industrial University. His career with the Ministry of Emergencies began with a role as a fire inspector, followed by a progression through several posts before he became the head of the department responsible for legal support, administrative enforcement, and inspection activities.
Observers note that Enikeev is widely regarded as a leading figure in the reform of fire control measures within the ministry. At present, there is no official information about any personnel changes within the Ministry of Emergency Situations beyond the stated resignation. The development has drawn attention to the ongoing transformations within the agency and the potential implications for its supervisory and preventive programs.
Meanwhile, Natalya Agafyeva, who previously held the position of Moscow Chief Inspector, has also submitted a resignation letter, signaling possible broader changes in the regional leadership landscape.
