Pyotr Mikhaylovich Latyshev (Russian: Пётр Михайлович Латышев; 30 August 1948 – 2 December 2008) was the Presidential Envoy to Urals Federal District, Russia. He had the federal state civilian service rank of 1st class Active State Councillor of the Russian Federation.[1]
Latyshev was born in 1948 in Proskurov (now Khmelnitskiy), Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. He attended the Omsk Higher Police School of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1970 and the Omsk Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1980.
In 1980, Latyshev began his police career as an inspector for the Department Against Misappropriation of Socialist Property (OBKhSS) a section of the interior ministry's regional directorate for Perm. He also served as an assistant department head, department head, and head of the OBKhSS Directorate of the ministry's regional directorate for Perm.
From 1991–1994, Latyshev was the head of the Interior Ministry's regional directorate for Krasnodar Krai. He was Deputy Minister of the Interior and simultaneously vice-chairman of the Federal Anti-Terrorism Commission from August 1994 to May 2000. Latyshev carried out security operations in Dagestan in 1999 and was highly successful at defusing ethnic tensions in Karachay–Cherkessia.
The main responsibility of a presidential envoy to any of the seven regions is the ensurance of presidential authority in that region. Loyalty and knowledge of the region are therefore the most highly valued traits in a prospective envoy.
Latyshev died suddenly on December 2, 2008, due to heart failure.[citation needed]
