Oleg Vyugin, chairman of the board of directors at MDM Bank, was appointed a senior adviser at Morgan Stanley, the bank said, Interfax reported.
Vyugin will be in charge of Russia and other former Soviet countries.
"I am very pleased to be joining Morgan Stanley, the market-leading international investment bank in Russia, and I look forward to working with a team that has built an outstanding reputation in our market in IPOs, M&A and other areas of capital markets," he said. "Activity in Russian capital markets continues to intensify, driven both by private companies and the privatization program, and Morgan Stanley is well-positioned for this future activity."
A financial market source told Interfax earlier that Vyugin would be appointed an adviser at Morgan Stanley and remain an MDM Bank director.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
