“A top Russian economist and government adviser abruptly stepped down from his posts and left the country amid pressure on him from investigators, people familiar with the situation said Tuesday.  While Mr. Guriev frequently attacked the Kremlin for its repressive tactics and publicly supported the regime’s opponents, he was long considered a loyalist, regularly participating in top-level government advisory panels and conferences, as well as the boards of state companies. He is also the dean of the New Economic School, a Moscow-based university that was recognized as one of Russia’s best, with graduates that included top government officials.”
