On February 19, 2026, Vyacheslav Popkov was appointed to the post of General Director of the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Plant (CHEMK).

In the position of the general director of CHEMK Popkov replaced Anatoly Brovko, who headed the enterprise in August 2024 (previously held the position of deputy general director of the plant). In turn, Brovko replaced Pavel Khodorovsky, who was charged with pedophilia (Article 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Khodorovsky was detained in June 2024, and subsequently he was released from the pre-trial detention center under house arrest. On December 11, 2024, the Kalininsky District Court sentenced him to four years of suspended imprisonment with a probationary period of three years. And in April 2025, the Chelyabinsk Regional Court increased the term of suspended imprisonment to six years. When making a decision, the elderly age of the accused was taken into account - 73 years, severe diseases and disability, as well as his assistance in the investigation.[1]
