Background
Nizhny Tagil Mayor Sergey Nosov was appointed acting Governor of Magadan Oblast in May 2018 to replace retiring one-term governor Vladimir Pechyony.[https://www.rbc.ru/politics/28/05/2018/5b0bd7a09a7947cf6a61db4e?from=materials_on_subject Путин принял отставку губернатора Магаданской области] Nosov had never visited Magadan Oblast prior to his appointment and was actually rumoured to be potential candidate for Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast. Nosov won an election for a full term in September 2018 with 81.5% of the vote – the highest margin in Magadan Oblast's history.[https://ria.ru/20180910/1528164244.html Носов набрал 81,51% голосов на выборах губернатора Магаданской области]
