"They want to finish us!"

The composition of the Cabinet of Ministers was updated by three quarters. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said this at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. According to the prime minister, "these are new people who have appeared recently, or work in the government for the first time." Putin replied to him that all decrees have already been signed.

The Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, the head of the Ministry of Sports, Vitaly Mutko, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov and the head of the Ministry of Justice Alexander Konovalov, preserved their posts. The place of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was taken by the head of the Moscow headquarters of the ministry, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, Vladimir Medinsky was appointed Minister of Culture, the Ministry of Health headed Veronika Skvortsova, the Ministry of Natural Resources - Sergey Donskoy, and the minister of education and science became the rector of Misis Dmitry Livanov. The Ministry of Agriculture was headed by the ex-head of Chuvashia Nikolai Fedorov, the Ministry of Energy-Alexander Novak, the Ministry of Emergencies-deputy minister Vladimir Puchkov. Maxim Topilin became the Minister of Labor and Social Development, the Ministry of Communications was headed by Nikolai Nikiforov.

The government apparatus was headed by Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Surkov. Igor Shuvalov (financial block, privatization and housing), Arkady Dvorkovich (curators of all industries, including the fuel and energy complex, transport and agriculture), Olga Golodets (social sector + Olympic project), Dmitry Rogozin (VPK) and Alexander Khloponin (Severnoye) were Deputy Privatization. Caucasus).

The blogosphere with the new composition of the government is disappointed.

General impressions

Tikandlaki : So the main intrigue of the last week was allowed, which, honestly, was seriously bothered. Today, the rector of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Always, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Dmitry Viktorovich Livanov was appointed to the post of Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. I will not hide, I was waiting for this decision with great excitement - the list of potential candidates was very disappointed. After all, there were people who were far from education, and people with a tinerized reputation, and people who are already spoiled by work in the current ministry (let's admit, now it can spoil even good shots). Against the background of this list of Lebanon, it looks like a fresh stream. It seems to me that he actually knows and loves education and science. <...> I am ready to give out a large credit of trust.

Ilya_ponomarev : A new government has finally formed in Russia. It was updated at 3/4, many new faces appeared, but still, I think it has become almost more conservative than it was, and certainly - much more conservative than one could expect. Not a single department has undergone strong internal changes, except for the divided Ministry of Health and Social Development. Rumors about the division of the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Education and Science that Dmitry Medvedev in the State Duma did not receive their embodiment. This means that the apparatus of departments will not reform; But it is the device that determines the quality of the policy. People appeared in the government in whom the potential is obvious to be good ministers: Nikolai Nikiforov, Vladimir Medinsky, Oleg Govorun, Dmitry Livanov. I expect in advance to watering me with mud with my opposition colleagues about the candidacy of Medinsky, but I believe that in the post of Minister of Culture this person will manifest himself from the positive side.

Julia Latynina : I am enthusiastic about the appointment of Mr. Medinsky, because this confirms my hypothesis that the closer the disaster, the more crazy decisions are made by the system.

Dolboeb : The composition of the new government was announced. Suddenly - a bunch of positive news, I don’t even know which one to start.

Nikolai Nikiforov, appointed by the Minister of Communications, is generally from the field of science fiction. Throughout the last week I heard a rumor about his upcoming appointment, but refused to believe until that very moment, until Putin did not name his last name. <...>

The resignation of Sechin is less than the image, but I think that the hardware power of this gentleman is determined by the proximity to the Nalder's body, and not by formal positions. The departure of Fursenko, Nurgaliev, Shmatko, Levitin and Skrynnik, probably no one will cry. In addition, it is not yet known where all these characters will pop up. A little sorry Avdeev and Nabiullin. It is interesting to know where they will now go to Shoigu.

And by the way, I will follow the fate of the former Minister of Communication of Schegolev, because he did not make any nasty things over the years of reign, and this is already a lot for the federal Russian minister.

The appointment of Medinsky Minister of Culture is, of course, beyond the grade of good and evil.

m_kalashnikov : we, like, introduced a new government. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is all the same clubfoot liberals.

At the head-"alternatively gifted" Medvedev, who once with a bang failed the so-called "priority national projects." What is one download of money in demand, and not in new production capacities in the PNP "Available Housing", which is why it has become even more inaccessible. What is Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov (curator of the financial bloc)-we have already written. No experience of a real business, a typical liberal nominee for what. In addition, with a bad -smelling "tail", a potential client for a new oprichnina. For nothing, the good Arkasha Dvorkovich became a super-vice-prime minister with huge powers-fuel and energy complex, industry, agricultural industry. A small Jew and a terrible liberal, who back in 2008 drove Brazyatin that the global crisis should be struggled on the formula "more liberalism!". Well, I’ll be silent about the Glovinnovor Surkov.

In general, before us is a new edition of the Gaidaro-Chubaysovschina. This government cannot do a damn. It is incompetent by definition.

Major7007 : In the new government of Medvedev, Arkady Dvorkovich will be endowed with the most enormous powers - he oversees all industries, including fuel and energy complex, transport and agriculture. I think that the abolition of time zones, the transition to the summer time, the bulbs and Skolkovo we will remember with nostalgia, as a petty, sweet, low -cost tyranny ...

Yulik @xzmbjk : the new government is so new.

russkiy_malchik : a horn of the business part of the crime elite "Vedomosti" leaked a terribly secret and taken "from federal officials" misinformation on the composition of the new government. The first two paragraphs are torn to pieces. From laughter. Of course, most likely, a couple of named surnames will be present in the government. This, apparently, cannot be avoided. In big politics, it is extremely dangerous to chop off the shoulder. But if the new government is exactly the same as in this des, and the blue dreams of compradors will come true, then this, of course, will be in a serious way to hit Putin from the people.

Artem @prihodiko : The Medvedev government has been formed . And where was it updated by 80%? Where are the new people? Reported from one place to another!

True_flipper : Pessimism in relation to the Russian Federation and the authorities have already reached any prohibitive values? I now read the discussion of the new government composition on the Vedomosti website, a fair picture. Finally, Sechin was removed - it is bad, it means that it will steer from another place. They gave broad powers almost to the most adequate Dvorkovich in this company-Kinder-Surprise, is not good. They moved Golikov with the Arbidol - again not good, etc.

E_VIKYRA : Dvorkovich and agriculture, in my opinion, is cooler than the plenipotentiary of the Uralvagonzavod workshop. Now agriculture will definitely join the WTO "with giant powers" ...

Sandra_nova : Exactly two weeks have passed since Putin’s inauguration, and the new government in Russia is still not appointed. This is suspicious. Extremely suspicious: previously the tandem worked very quickly - today the inauguration, tomorrow the appointment of a new prime minister, then a new government. This time they, too, seemed to be started well: Medvedev was also appointed immediately after the inauguration of GDP - but then a pause suddenly arose, and not only arose, but also dragged on so that it became already suspicious and indecent. What are the reasons for this pause? I think it will be logical to assume that the contradictions in the tandem, about which we talked a lot before the beginning of the election campaign, and then almost ceased to be mentioned for tactical considerations; I think that now the Rhratedvedev Liberal is trying to climb into the government in order to turn it into an anti -Putin organ.

Personally

Ksenia Larina, observer of the Echo of Moscow radio station

About Volodya Medinsky. It is gravitated to the great -power patriotism of the Rogozin type, but in the soul - liberal.)) It is educated, not devoid of a sense of humor, capable of dialogue, intellectual, not confident in itself, it is in doubt, although it is clearly inclined to reflection. You can work and talk with him. The question is who will influence it.

Rustem Adagamov, photoblogr

Nurgaliev had to be done by the Minister of Culture. They didn’t realize, it’s a pity.

Andrey Gavrilov, literary critic

I believe that the Minister of Culture Medinsky is very good. A person is truly, an innexation wild, uncultured, with stupid invigar ideas, immoral-this is exactly what is necessary. Supreme specialists with a swallow will be, where they will turn around, and people with a conscience will lose most of the legitimation of cooperation with the authorities.

So the culture will become better. It will become more stable. Is this not a success?

Roman Dobrokhotov, member of the political council "Solidarity"

The new Minister of Culture believes that the joint parade of the USSR and Germany in Brest is Photoshop, and there was no Baltic states.

Mitya Aleshkovsky, photographer

Your mother! They want to finish us! Medinsky is the Minister of Culture. P.

Anton Nosik, head of the Blogs Service "Soup"

The appointment of Medinsky Minister of Culture is, of course, beyond the grade of good and evil. With the same success, one could appoint Malkina or Ovechkin there. However, the frankly decorative nature of this department does not allow to seriously discuss possible changes in connection with a new character in this chair. Thank God a significant part of really important decisions related to the state support of culture, as well as with its destruction, is in our competence of municipalities, and the main part of real support comes from the commercial sector.

Stanislav Lviv, poet

Medinsky Minister of Culture is very cool. That is, it is clear that this is a purpose in the sense of spitting in the face - but this is not a “creative class” in the face, but what is the very worker - that is, librarians, museum workers and others. The authorities, it seems, really decided to succeed in the most painful way for everyone.

Oleg Kashin, journalist

About Kolokoltsev is cool, by the way. He himself was looking for reinforcement in the garbage tank at my house, I respect it for it.

Eduard Limonov, writer, leader of "other Russia"

Nurgaliev was removed, and this had to be done for a long time.

Kolokoltsev in the context of our Russian police is apparently the most civilized cop. But we have such a context that the MKAD is already continuous dense policemen in felt boots and with instruments of torture in all pockets, right? It may be too figurative, but in the big city of Kazan, what savages were recently found, almost cannibalists were on their checkpoint in the "distant". So bells are just the name of the heart.

Nikita Batalov, Kommersant FM correspondent

In general, I am glad that the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be a person who believes that journalists need to give work normally on promotions.

Oleg Kozyrev, screenwriter

Why bells? Why not Evsyukov?

Russian reporter @russianrePorter

Kolokoltsev became the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Give a shirt all over the country!

Leonid Volkov, deputy of the City Duma of Yekaterinburg

Everything is clear about Serdyukov - in the same place, the whole FNS team with Sinikova on defense order, without Serdyukov, this saw will not cut.

Sergey Karpov @unroof

Serdyukov infuriates most of all. The scum, which had to be changed first. The army stands on the knees. It hurts to look at the military families.

Nikola Sudarikov @n_sudarikov

The current government does not judge by merits, but by devotion and opportunities for manipulation. Serdyukov in this regard is very convenient.

Vadim Matveev@vadimmatvev2

The post of Minister of Defense was preserved by Anatoly Serdyukov. Who will take something from the Minister of Defense? He will defend!

Julyasha @moskless

Apparently, Mutko was left in the government so that at least someone in the government could support the conversation in English in case of something.

Roman Oklikov @dolzhenkoff

It seems that our hockey players saved Mutko from dismissal. At the last moment.

IDEALISTM about the new government with one line. Golodets came to the social sphere.

Sergey Grigorov @sergeygrigorov

In Moscow, without a head will be better. Well, at least she was not appointed to the Ministry of Health.

Anton Nosik, head of the Blogs Service "Soup"

Nikolai Nikiforov, appointed by the Minister of Communications, is generally from the field of science fiction. Nikiforov is the person who in August 2010 lifted LTE in Kazan at a speed of up to 80Mbit/s (though his predecessor slammed the network on the same day). A person who automated the public services in Tatarstan to a level, about which in Moscow they will not be able to dream for a long time. At the same time, there is absolutely no "cooperative of the lake" behind him, a guy from Kazan is thirty years old, to the government of the Republic of Tatarstan came from the Internet. In fact, the first personnel Internet that has become a federal minister. Let's see how his relations with the special services will develop, for which the topic of the Ministry of Communications is profile, since it is precisely through this ministry that all eavesdropping, examination, closing of objectionable sites and idiotic licensing in the Internet.

Oleg Kozyrev, screenwriter

Nikolai Nikiforov is the only normal purpose in this theater of the absurd.
