“I plan to take upon several projects, not yet ready to announce everything right now. First of all, of course, I will be returning to the business that I left during my work in the municipality – Rostum Group. I already agreed with my former partners to take over as the board chairman in the group and focus my attention on this project for now,” Alexander Mukhin told PenzaNews agency on Thursday, January 28.

Working as an official was an invaluable experience for him, he said.

“The thing is, I saw working in the municipality as a temporary stage right from the onset – as another step in my curriculum – and did not plan for future municipal work. I came to work precisely in the team of [the mayor of Zarechny] Vyacheslav Gladkov. As for now, I gained great experience over the 6.5 years of municipal work, for which I am grateful to Vyacheslav Gladkov and Zarechny. But now, it is time in my life to focus on other projects,” he explained.

According to him, he does not see himself as a municipal state servant in the future, either.

“Every experience has its time, I think. My time in municipal service has ended,” Alexander Mukhin said.

He also stressed that he still plans to actively participate in civil life of Zarechny even after changing his field of work.

“For all these years, I was helping the gymnastics department, and the stray animal help foundation ‘Fuzzy Friend’ in spraying, neutering and adopting stray animals; and I will keep assisting these social projects and take part in the civil life of the city. I will not be going far away from Zarechny,” he noted.

He also added that he is currently studying Strategic Marketing in the British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow.
