Career
At the age of 24 Gussoev was one of the youngest people to ever be elected to the Parliament of South Ossetia.[1]
Gussoev served as the director of the Tsinagari Secondary school where he entered a feud with Anatoly Bibilov's Ministry of Construction over the school's gym.[2] Gussoev reported that the gym was constructed, however, the ministry never installed a transformer, rendering the building inoperable due to the lack of electricity to power lights, fans, and other utilities.[2][3] Gussoev attempted to lobby the government for the funds so he could purchase and install the transformer himself, however, received no comment from the government on the issue.[2] The former head of the Leningor district Vladimir Guliyev stated that the renovations would likely cost 20 million rubles, and that local government didn't have the required funds.[4]
In 2023 Gussoev led a cultural celebration in Tsinagari named Arvyron which included a concert, a moment of silence for the dead of the 2008 Russo Georgian War, and a traditional dance ensemble in costume.[5]
