"Rostekhnology" finally said goodbye to Serdyukov: the conflict ex-minister was withdrawn from the supervisory board

Rostekhnology finally disowned from Anatoly Serdyukov: by decree of President Vladimir Putin, he was removed on Thursday from the duties of the chairman of the supervisory board of the state corporation. The ex-minister has been holding this post since 2007. Instead, Denis Manturov, Minister of Industry and Trade, has now been appointed, according to the Kremlin’s website .

In mid-November, a rumor was held that the ex-head of the Ministry of Defense was appointed adviser to the general director of Rostechnologies Sergey Chemezov. However, the company’s press service refuted this after a day, saying that “there are currently no official instructions that regulate the status of Serdyukov as an adviser to the general director or employee of the Rostekhnology State Corporation,” at the moment does not exist. ”

Kommersant writes on Friday that Chemezov personally recommended the chairman of the supervisory board of Manturov, who is considered his confidant. With Serdyukov, the general director of Rostechnologies, have developed conflict relations due to the desire of the ex-head of the Ministry of Defense to gain control over the special exporter of Russian weapons.

In the spring of 2011, on the eve of the FSUE "Rosoboronexport", Serdyukov, as the head of the supervisory board, proposed to transfer the state -owner of shares of the Rostekhnology created by OJSC, but the Ministry of Defense. Chemezov managed to maintain the system in the existing form, but relations with Serdyukov were finally spoiled, the newspaper says.

Where will Serdyukov "go"

The further fate of the former Minister of Defense is interested in the public against the backdrop of a large corruption scandal, which caused his resignation. The investigation that analyzes billionths in the department, as you know, has no complaints to Serdyukov, so it is possible that he can receive a new high position. President Putin himself made it clear , after which many analysts decided that the ex-minister eliminated any responsibility.

This week, the official representative of the Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, said that Serdyukov could be called for interrogation , "if there is a need in his testimony," especially noting that "there is no untouchable person in this case." However, sources close to the investigation later said that the investigation group is forbidden to take Serdyukov in development, despite the presence of evidence of his involvement in corruption.

At the same time, more than half of Russians surveyed by the All -Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion ( VTsIOM ) are sure that the decision to resign Serdyukov should be made much earlier, since under him the situation in the army has noticeably worsened. So 55% of respondents think.

The Russians evaluate the very situation with corruption scandals. Some believe that this is the fulfillment of Putin to pre -election promises in terms of the fight against corruption, others - that this is a domestic political struggle, the reduction of accounts. Opinions on this subject were divided equally: 45%each.
