Dmitry Vladimirovich Gayev (Russian: Дми́трий Влади́мирович Га́ев; 21 October 1951 – 27 October 2012) was a Russian civil servant and head chief of the Moscow Metro.[1] He is known as having served the longest administrative mandate in the history of the Moscow Metro (from late 1995 until early 2011) under the command of Mayor Yuri Luzhkov. He was removed from this position after Luzhkov's removal and soon enough became the target of numerous financial and criminal lawsuits by the state relating to his work. Gayev retired in late 2011 because of a numbing weakness, has been diagnosed with brain cancer, and died on 27 October 2012.
