Biography
Denis Vladimirovich Pushilin (born 9 May 1981) is a pro-Russian politician who was elected the Head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) in 2018, and has held the position since then, including after the Russian annexation of the DPR in 2022.
He had previously served as Chairman of the People's Council, and became the acting head of state and government following the assassination of incumbent Alexander Zakharchenko amidst the conflict in the east Ukraine region. He successfully ran for election to a full term in the controversial 2018 elections. Pushilin's role in MMM Global prior to his political career is cited by critics that describe him as a fraudster who was involved in a Ponzi scheme.
