Denis Isayev, son of a former Russian lawmaker, is now CEO of Lemana PRO, formerly known as Leroy Merlin. Yevgeny Nenashev took over as head of FM Logistic's Russian subsidiary, with ties to the family of a former State Duma member. Ilya Berdnikov became CEO of Auchan's Russian division, with experience in the Federal Property Management Agency. Denis Voityuk will lead Nestlé Russia, previously serving as an executive director at the company. All four companies were placed under temporary management by Russian President Vladimir Putin after a decree citing their involvement in military operations against Russia. The new management bodies are headed by Andrey Krayushkin, a former Interior Ministry official.",
