Vladislav Surkov will become acting

The current head of the presidential administration, Sergei Naryshkin , elected according to the United Russia list to the State Duma from the Leningrad Region, did not give up the mandate in the Legislative Assembly and will leave the presidential administration in the near future. Instead of Naryshkin, the acting head of the presidential administration was appointed Vladislav Surkov . The new head of the administration will be appointed before the end of this week or at the beginning of the next. What is worth remembering about Surkov: - Surkov’s father - Chechen Andarbek Dudaev, with whom Surkov’s mother - Zoya Surkova - divorced when Vladislav was 5 years old. - He studied at three universities (Misis, the Moscow Institute of Culture and the International University in Moscow), graduated only to the latter, having received the qualifications of the Master of Economics. - He served in the special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate. -In 1987, Surkov headed the advertising department of the Center for Intersectoral Scientific and Technical Programs (TsMNTP)-the Youth Initiative of the Frunze District Committee of the Komsomol created by Mikhail Khodorkovsky. According to other sources - he was a guard of Khodorkovsky. Then he was the head of the customer department and the head of the advertising department at Menatep - Khodorkovsky Bank. -In 1997, he moved to Alfa-Bank Mikhail Friedman and Peter Aven. From there, Boris Berezovsky invited him to ORT, where Surkov worked as the first deputy general director and director of public relations. - Since the spring of 1999, Surkov, at the invitation of the former head of the administration, went to work in AP, where it has been working to this day.

Slon asked political scientists to comment on personnel permits in the administration.

President of the St. Petersburg Politics Foundation Mikhail Vinogradov : - The process of appointing to such posts is so usually delicate that no one can guarantee anything until the decree appears. Will Naryshkin be a speaker? I think, of course. If Surkov remains at the head of the presidential administration, this will create an additional drama in his relationship with [the head of the Government of the Russian Federation] Vyacheslav Volodin. President of the Panorama information and research center Vladimir Poblovsky : -I think that by May there will be the main shake-Medvedev will or will not become the prime minister, Putin, obviously, will nevertheless be president if the comet does not fall on the Kremlin or there is something else. I think Surkov will stay and. O. Somewhere until spring, and then there are other possibilities further besides Surkov. Maybe [Deputy Prime Minister Igor] Sechin to become a leader, and the Surkov again return to the post of first deputy ... or they will appoint someone right today. For what for Naryshkin to leave the administration to the Duma? One post [speaker] is formally even higher than the head of the administration. But it depends on the filling. In the form in which the State Duma has existed in recent years, this is a decrease for Naryshkin. In any case, Naryshkin leave the post of head of the administration at the Duma by the chairman of the committee or vice-speaker-this would be simply a humiliation that he did not deserve. He is Putin's old friend, who very successfully controlled Medvedev all these four years, without straining relations with Medvedev - tactfully and at the same time effectively.
