Medvedev also proposed Viktor Il-yukhin to head the Kamchatka region, Rashid Temrezov for the Karachayevo-Cherkessia republic and Sergei Morozov for the Ulyanovsk region, the report said.
Ilyukhin and Temrezov are acting heads of their regions, and Morozov is incumbent leader of the Ulyanovsk region.
Local legislatures now have to confirm the presidential nominees.
