Participant in the presidential program "Time of Heroes", Hero of Russia Yuri Abayev has become the Minister of Labor and Social Development of North Ossetia. The decree on the appointment was signed by the head of the region Sergey Menyailo.

Abayev stated that in his new post he intends to "direct all efforts to the comprehensive adaptation of the SVO participants to a peaceful and comfortable life." Previously, he served in the 70th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment as a unit commander.
