Political activity in South Ossetia

On August 5, 2009, he was appointed by South Ossetia's President Eduard Kokoity to succeed Aslanbek Bulazew as the South Ossetian Prime Minister. Browzew is seen as the "man of Moscow" who is supposed to control the way South Ossetia deals with Russian financial aid. After the military conflict over South Ossetia in 2008 , Russia began to provide substantial material support to South Ossetia in order to finance the repair of the war damage. In spring 2010 the media reported that President Kokoity was trying to force Browzew out of office in order to evade Moscow's control. The Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin then called on the South Ossetian President to refrain from taking any further action against Brovzew and his entourage, whom Kokoity referred to as the "Chelyabinsk Mafia".

Wadim Browzew is married and has a daughter and a son.
