Valentin Yumashev, the son-in-law of former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin, resigned from his role as an unpaid adviser to President Vladimir Putin last month, Reuters quoted two people as saying.
A source close to the agency, Lyudmila Telen, first deputy executive director of the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center, an institution where Yumashev is a board member, told Reuters that Yumashev had resigned as an adviser to the Kremlin in April.
Asked why he left the role, he said: “It was his own initiative”.
The other man, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said Yumashev ceased to be a presidential adviser in April.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Yumashev also did not respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
During Yeltsin, who was president of Russia from 1991 to 1999, Yumashev served as an adviser to the Kremlin and later as head of the presidential administration. He is married to Yeltsin’s daughter, Tatiana.
He did not play a key role in Putin’s decision-making, but represented one of the few remaining links in Putin’s government under Yeltsin’s administration, a period of liberal reform and Russia’s opening to the West, according to Reuters.
