The composition of the new government puzzled not only political scientists and specialized experts . Particularly pleased with the appointment of Vladimir Medinsky to the post of Minister of Culture and the reassignment of Vitaly Mutko and Anatoly Serdyukov. Former ministers did not disappear either - they received high posts in the presidential administration, the Security Council, etc. After these permutations, it became completely impossible to talk about personnel rotation. Therefore, PublicPost turned for comments on professional humorists. They coped with the task no worse than political scientists.
Viktor Shenderovich, Satirian writer:
“Firstly, some no less odious figures are set. I would not want to plunge into the personal composition, although the figure of Medinsky inspires a personal analysis. The person, among whose beloved historian Bushkov, is the same diagnosis with whom the same laundry from the joke. But this is the main thing. The main thing is that this is the Putin’s government, Medvedev is none, it is a nominal figure, and I am a nominal figure, and I have a nominal figure, and for me. It seems that this is the previous government, the former in the sense that you can do it with some care of the assignment of Kolokoltsev. The lawlessness that was happening in Moscow for many years.
In Russia, where such a special outstanding place in the internal hierarchy is occupied by culture, this dull obvious will lead the Russian culture. This is an indicative thing to the same extent as the purpose of the Holmatic embassy. This means that we were seen in the coffin and are not shy about this. "
Gennady Khazanov, Head of the Moscow stage theater:
"I am not familiar with Medinsky, I know him only by advertising in the house of the book, on the New Arbat, and on some fragmentary television appearance. I can’t say anything else. I hope that he will be a good minister . "
Dmitry Bykov, writer and poet:
"It is only noticeable that none of the odious figures left power, they remained in their sphere. Nurgaliev went to the decorative, but still the position of director of the Secretary of the Council of People's Commissars. I am sure that the rest will not be left without work. There are no fundamentally new significant figures. I join the idea of Alexei Kudrin that this is not a government of a breakthrough."
Igor Irteniev, Satirist poet:
"I will express it, rather as a layman. I am satisfied that the new government has no Golikova and the parables in the tongue of Nurgaliev. Kolokoltsev came to his place, he, of course, did not have time to attack, this does not mean that we do not attack. We see that the deck is not endless, pulling something out of time. Nurgaliev could not be kept because it is an object of popular hat By the way, there is no mockery of Fursenko, but for obvious reasons, the technical office is enough, and the issues will not be decided in the White House.
Leonid Kaganov, Muman writer:
"I heard that the changes in the government surprised the positiveness. It was not quite what people expected, and they expected the very bad and stagnation. Nurgaliev finally took off, Golikov - these are positive things, because there is nowhere worse."
Dmitry Ivanov, satirist, video blogger Kamikadze_d:
“The update in the government promised, and it happened, but the only thing that is not much of the use of this update, because all those people who have replaced the departed are their deputies. The only exception is the new Minister of Communications. This is, in general, some kind of sensation. A person raised the Internet in Tatarstan. He knows what the Ministry of Communications is. In principle, and Schegolev did not cause any rejection. Well, of course, a sad sensation is a sad sensation. Medinsky, who became the “Minister of Pravda”.
As for the appointment of Putin’s assistants to the ministers, the habit of Putin to surround himself with loyal people with whom it is more convenient for him to work. He is not used to working differently. Plus, this desire to show that people remain in any case in the team, no one leaves their own. This gives rise to the problem of changing power in the country in the highest echelons. "
Oleg Kozyrev, screenwriter, Satirian blogger:
“To begin with, there were no resignations. This process of changing the government does not pass through the resignation regime, there all members go beyond the state, and then gains a new one. Therefore, unfortunately, we cannot say that there was at least one resignation of even the most odious member of the government. At the same time, we do not know about any sanctions regarding any of them. But we know that someone will be a warm place. That there is no need to talk about resignations.
If we talk about those who came, I personally heard good reviews only about the Minister of Communications, who came from Tatarstan. All other ministers are an absolute mystery, except for those who remained from the previous government such as Serdyukov or Mutko. This means the following for me: if we do not know a person, if we know that he did not defend the rights of citizens, did not defend their interests, was not known as a specialist for citizens in this area, precisely in a public space, then this means that this person is not authoritative, passing, it depends little on him. The only we know is the new Minister of Culture, I learned in the news that he would be presented as a writer. Indeed, he has a certain number of written works, but, as I understand it, it is difficult to call them writers. In my opinion, they treated the culture terribly, put an ideologically sharpened man on the post of man, and I am afraid, this will lead to sad consequences. Put on the culture of such a obscene United Russia ... I think everything can turn into the hymns of Stalin, an excellent manager.
A very strange choice. It seems to me that this is done to show that nothing is important, but only personal loyalty is important and so that a person does what the government and the native party say to him.
