The new government will have to carry out the reform of the government, which its author Alexei Kudrin calls the "administrative guillotine." We are talking about a strict revision and cutting of functions for some ministries and departments. This means that changes in the new government may be more radical than in previous electoral cycles.

• On Monday, Dmitry Medvedev discussed the reform of public administration with the head of the CSR Alexei Kudrin, the meeting participant told The Bell and confirmed the government official. In addition to Kudrin, it was attended by President of Sberbank German Gref, says one of them. The CSR refused to comment.
• The reform proposed by the CSR provides for a reduction in the number of officials for a third in six years, and the cost of maintaining a state apparatus to 1.74% of the budget (now 2.5%), and the creation of a special strategic block in the government, which will control the country's development strategy and achieve the KPI for national goals. What will happen to other ministries in case of reform approval is the question: in February, Kudrin called the reform “administrative guillotine” for the functions of the ministries.
• In the government, according to Kudrin’s plan, the official should oversee the strategic direction no lower than the deputy prime minister, says a meeting participant. A candidate for this position is called the assistant to President Andrei Belousov, two officials say.
• So far, there are no final decisions on the new reform. “It is strange if they were before the new composition of the government,” says one of The Bell's interlocutors. But now it’s clear that if the structure is not changed, but to leave everything as it is by simply replacing people, or not changing them, then there will be no breakthrough either in the regulation or in the economy, says one of The Bell's interlocutors.
• The final decision on the new configuration of the government and its composition is as always for Putin. After the inauguration, he will announce a candidate for the premiere (presumably Dmitry Medvedev will be), says the official of the presidential administration. On May 8, as expected, the Duma will approve this candidate, and on May 9 the president, the prime minister, and even part of the new government will be at the parade.
• Whoever enters it, and who will retire will remain the main topic for the next two weeks. So far, the first deputy prime minister Igor Shuvalov, one of the most experienced apparatchiks working in the government has been in the voluntary resignation, is sent to voluntary resignation. The final decision, as always, will be known only at the last moment. But to assume who, in addition to Shuvalov, could want to “get out”, you can, by looking at the list of long -livers of the government. To complete the picture, we included in it the highest officials of the AP and the heads of state -owned companies, as well as Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, although he worked in the government for less than 6 years:

What am I to me?

Much will depend on the composition of the new government, including where 10 trillion rubles will be found and how it will be spent, which Vladimir Putin is going to allocate for healthcare, education and infrastructure immediately after the inauguration.

MONEY

Deripaska continues to poorly

Oleg Deripaska’s condition since April 6, when American sanctions were introduced, decreased by $ 3.8 billion, and $ 4.7 billion for about $ 4 billion for the whole year. This is more than other Russian Bloomberg billionaire participants. In addition to the billionaire itself, the sanctions list in April were its main business assets, including Rusal and En+ Group.

Bloomberg - only for money

The bad news for those who (for example, for example, we) love Bloomberg and do not like to pay money for information. Already in May, the agency’s website can restart - and in the new version, at least part of the content will become paid , like the vast majority of the best business media led by the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. But there is good news - we will definitely subscribe to Bloomberg and we will retell the main and most interesting for you.

The struggle for "Safisa"

The former owner of the Cherkizov market, which was arrested in Russia, Telman Ismailov, did not give one of his most famous assets during bankruptcy - the House of Celebrations of Safis on the Sparrow Hills (if you live in Moscow, you probably saw it, passing through the third ring past the Luzhniki). Now another influential applicant has appeared on this object - the partner and a longtime friend of the head of Rostec Sergei Chemezov Vitaliy Machitsky, found out The Bell.

Signals

Oligarchs are investigated through banks

Participants in the Kremlin List of the US Treasury today were supposed to be nervous again - two American senators sent letters to European and American banks with a request to disclose the information that banks received during the inspections of Russian businessmen. If banks do not respond to requests, senators promise, initiate a government investigation.

PRACTICE

New Gmail (for those who work for)

Do not perceive how a mockery of Russian users who do not open Google services from Monday without VPN, but tomorrow the company rolls out the largest updates of its Gmail postal service over many years. In the Google mail there will be an option to send secret letters, for reading which you need to enter a confirming code from SMS, a self-destruction timer, the ability to postpone the answer to the letters “for later” with reminders and much more. Wired tells the main thing that you need to know about the updates and how to use them.

Spy business

Former CIA operative John Breddok wrote a book on how special services employees make decisions in critical situations and how to apply these techniques in ordinary life. It is clear that all this is applicable in business, where competition is harder than in the world of special agents. In the “secret of the company”, a chapter is especially useful for Russia on how to choose a strategy for interaction with officials and competitors.
