Medvedev discussed with Kudrin and Gref a reduction in government

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 Center for Strategic Development (CSR) Alexei Kudrin, the meeting participant told The Bell and the government official confirmed. 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.
