Vadim Nikolaevich Krasnoselsky (born 14 April 1970) is a Transnistrian politician who was elected President in 2016.
Krasnoselsky was born in the Zabaykalsky District of the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union. In 1978 his father was transferred to a military base in Bender in the Moldavian SSR. After leaving school in 1987 Krasnoselsky started studying in Odessa, but left during his first year to join a military school in Kharkiv, from which he graduated in 1993. He subsequently joined the Transistrian security forces, later becoming a high-ranking official in the Ministry of the Interior.
In 2007 Krasnoselsky became Minister of the Interior, serving until 2012 when he started working in business. He was elected to the Supreme Council in the 2015 elections, and was appointed as the body's Speaker. Supported by the Sheriff conglomerate, he defeated incumbent President Yevgeny Shevchuk in the 2016 presidential elections, receiving 62% of the vote.
