Big change

Apparatchiks are preparing for casting inside the tandem

Big change. The personnel permutations of the last days are the preparation of Vladimir Putin the Kremlin’s hardware interior for his own accession in the Senate Corps in May of this year. And at the same time - the preparation of the same Putin of the government personnel landscape for arrival in the White House of Dmitry Medvedev. The national leader realizes how difficult the presidential campaign can be, and therefore prefers to arrange the chips in advance. The New Times monitors how the country's main devices are preparing for the transfer of members of the tandem
The appointment of Sergei Ivanov to the post of head of the Kremlin administration looks like a Putin's unexpected, but at the same time logical. A unique leader who failed one after another all the instructions of Vladimir Putin: from the re -equipment of the army to the resuscitation of Glonass. A unique deputy prime minister who easily, without a struggle, “handed over” the Ministry of Defense the main powers of the military-industrial commission accountable to him. The failed successor of Putin, a comfortable locomotive, from which the future head of state will not have to wait for either creative ideas or unpleasant surprises. “A person is very cute, impressive,” the government official who knows him well -known about Ivanov, “but without properties: he has neither ambitions, nor his own“ ties ”in business, nor his own team.” However, it is with Ivanov that the representatives of one of the Kremlin “towers”, namely the deputy head of the administration, Alexei Gromov and his subordinates from the presidential department of the press service and information, associate their career expectations. The administration speaks that Ivanov had already promised Gromov to save the seats and his team, which traditionally opposed the hardware clan of Vladislav Surkov. Another thing is the press secretary of the outgoing head of state Natalya Timakova, who had long been quarreled not only with Surkov, but also with Gromov. As her colleagues assure, it is she who lobbies the project of public television, which Medvedev mentioned in his message to parliament. The project seems to be planned to develop at the site of the Russia 1 television channel, and by its head of Timakov, according to rumors, he sees personally. It is clear that Anton Zlatopolsky does not like the general of the VGTRK DobrK, and even more so the head of Russia 1, and, according to the testimony of officials familiar with the situation, both resist the project with all their might.
New ideologist
First Deputy Ivanov Vyacheslav Volodin is the exact opposite of his new boss. For many years he was perceived as an ambitious parliamentarian close to Surkov. However, a year and a half ago, Volodin cleverly took advantage of the hardware removal of Surkov from Putin and managed to replay a former cartridge in the struggle for influence on United Russia and its leader. Volodin is a successful businessman, a very noticeable figure in the booty oil and fat industry of the Russian agricultural sector and at the same time the head of the clan of assertive Volga lobbyists, which opens the doors in the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development.
He has already managed to advance his protege - the famous political scientist Dmitry Badovsky to the post of deputy chief of the presidential department in domestic politics. Familiar to the situation, the administration employees are confident that the head of this department, the closest ally of Surkov, Konstantin Kostin, has a little chance of staying in the saddle. Other key Medvedev’s creatures are expected to be good from the new authorities: Presidential Assistant Arkady Dvorkovich, a fellow student of Medvedev and the head of the control department Konstantin Chuychenko, as well as Sergey Dubik, the head of the department for public service and personnel.

The second wave of the crisis is nearing, and it is the police in which case that it will have to resist mass protests. It is better if in this situation her “face” is not an antihero of the blogosphere, but a new minister with a reputation of the liberal

" Replacing security forces
Changes are undoubtedly awaiting the block of law enforcement agencies. Thick clouds of unpleasant rumors envelop the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergencies Rashid Nurgaliev and Sergey Shoigu, as well as the Prosecutor General of Yuri Chaika. “Nurgaliev is good for Putin, but he does not have a reputation,” the police department admitted to the Minister. - And although Vladimir Vladimirovich once did not allow Medvedev to remove it (it would look like a concession to the inflated public), but the second wave of the crisis is nearing, and it was the police in which case that would have to be opposed by mass protests. It is better if in this situation her “face” is not an antihero of the blogosphere, but a new minister with a reputation of the liberal. ” Continuous friction between the two main clans in the central apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs work: immigrants from the Omsk region, headed by Minister of the Minister Alexander Smirniy and Igor Aleshin and Tatarstans, work, among whom the head of the Main Directorate for the Protection of Public Order Yuri Demidov and the head of the organizational and analytical department of Artemov, work as his colleagues. Khokhorin. The proteges of President Medvedev-Deputy Ministers Valery Kozhokar, Sergey Bulavin and Sergey Gerasimov, as well as the head of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Countering Corruption, Denis Svugrobov, will voluntarily retracts into these intrigues. A familiar official of the Kremlin apparatus, however, is sure that Putin will not touch the “Medvedev”, because they will not imagine any opposition either to his successor and will not represent his successor, and will not again offend the younger partner Vladimir Vladimirovich. Moreover, according to the law, the candidacy of the head of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (namely, this position is held by the Deputy Minister Kozhokar), not the Minister of Internal Affairs, but the head of government, offers the president for approval. If Medvedev returns to the White House, his classmate may be calm for his chair, the administration employee believes. In the judicial system, the Kremlin official is sure, there will be no changes until August 2013, when Vyacheslav Lebedev, celebrating the 70th anniversary, will have to leave the chair of the head of the Supreme Court by law. Then, at this post, a strong person can appear by the will of Putin, capable of putting the limit of aggressive expansion of the Supreme Arbitration Court, headed by another classmate Medvedev Anton Ivanov, in the sphere of competence of the courts of general jurisdiction.

As for Sergei Shoigu, according to the forecast of an official, he can be in the structures of the formed Eurasian Union, where he will lead the supranational forces to maintain public order and combat the consequences of natural disasters and technogenic accidents.
The third subordinate Medvedev, whose actions are clearly going down, is the Prosecutor General. In May of this year, the seagull will reach the retirement age, recalls the administration employee. The decision to extradite to Russia ex-first deputy prosecutor of the Moscow Region Alexander Ignatenko will probably put the Cross on the career of Yuri Yakovlevich, because Ignatenko, saving himself, will certainly tell the investigators all about the casino, and not only about this.

There are a lot of applicants for the positions of the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergencies and the Prosecutor General’s Office, the insider emphasizes: “However, it seems that only Shoigu will receive a privileged opportunity to convey the reins of government in his diocese to a person from his team.”
Kazus Surkova
This privilege was awarded, for example, the ex-vice-prime minister and Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin. The new head of the Ministry of Finance Anton Siluanov, the department’s employees say, does not take a step without consultations with his former boss. Kudrina is often seen in the building of the Ministry of Finance, he enters Siluanov without a report. At Ilyinka, they are convinced that the formal opal of Kudrin is a purely temporary matter.
The more offensive against this background is the new purpose of Vladislav Surkov. As a deputy prime minister, he received only a social sphere, education and science. Although in the Kremlin, in addition to the political sphere, he oversaw documentation, advancing on the heels of the formal owner of this hardware sphere - the deputy head of the Kremlin apparatus Alexander Beglov. But the head of the government’s office in the rank of the Minister was appointed by the grandson of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Soviet Estonia, Anton Weino, a protege of the “energy” Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin.
The powers of Dmitry Rogozin, who did the deputy prime minister for the defense and industrial complex, also look quite ephemeral. “This is a pre -election appointment,” says the Apart, “Rogozin, the Posoputinsky Hawk, states the informed employee of the government apparatus. The fate of the defense industry is decided, on the one hand, the Minister of Defense Serdyukov, on the other hand, the head of the state corporation Rostekhnologii Chemezov and his people. They do not need the left negotiator from the government. If Dmitry Olegovich does not understand this, he will not strengthen in his chair for a long time. ”
The prospects of a number of until recently influential ministers look difficult. For example, the head of the Ministry of Health and Social Development Tatyana Golikova loses the support of her status spouse: Viktor Khristenko from the office in the Ministry of Industry and Trade moves to the "Eurasian" structures. His successor will probably become Deputy Minister Denis Manturov - a protege of the informal “Minister of Defense Industry” Sergei Chemezov. Golikova, who has long entered the hardware clinch with the Ministry of Finance, risks either to lose his post or agree to divide the ministry entrusted to her into a “social” and “medical” department. It is doubtful, it is true that Tatyana Alekseevna will determine her formal curator-Deputy Prime Minister Surkov: this area is alien to him. "

Having become the prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev with a brood of his classmates will barely hurry to hat analysis. The main positions here are already “holding” Putin's people

" Acting like karma
Another thing is education and culture. The government actively discusses the idea of ​​dividing the Ministry of Education and Science into two departments: educational and scientific. At the post of head of the Russian educational system, along with the rector of the Higher School of Economics, Yaroslav Kuzminov (the eternal applicant for this position) and the head of Rosobrnadzor, Lyubov Glebova, is claimed by the rector of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Loals Dmitry Livanov. The “innovative” Minister allegedly wants to become another close to Vladislav Yuryevich - the head of the Russian venture company Igor Agamirzyan. The scandalous minister Andrei Fursenko official rumor promises just a modest position of deputy gospers of the Rusnano State Corporation. The post of Minister of Culture, who was liberated by Alexander Avdeev, again claims to be the deputy minister Grigory Ivliev, who was insistent to Surkov. Thus, having become the prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, with a brood of his classmates, barely rushes for hat analysis. The main positions here are already “holding” Putin's people. Without control over the Ministry of Finance and the government apparatus, it will be difficult for the new premiere to compete with Putin creatures for budget -intensive positions in industry departments and state corporations. In essence, at Kon only the position of the head of the Ministry of Economic Development, which with certain reservations may go to the assistant to the president Arkady Dvorkovich. If only Prime Minister Medvedev does not turn out to be the same acting as he looks as president.
