Alexander Gusev

Alexander Gusev is the Governor of the Voronezh region in Russia. He is newsworthy due to a recent Ukrainian drone attack on the city of Voronezh, which falls under his jurisdiction. According to Gusev's social media posts on Sunday, January 11, 2026, the drone attack resulted in one fatality, a young woman who died in a hospital intensive care unit, and three injuries. The attack occurred amidst ongoing fighting in the Russia-Ukraine war, with both sides reporting casualties and damage from aerial attacks. Gusev's role as governor places him at the forefront of managing the consequences of these attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure within his region, making him a key figure in reporting and responding to the conflict's impact on Russian territory.
