Vladislav Surkov left the public service. The next month he will meditate

Assistant President of Russia Vladislav Surkov left the public service. This was announced on his Facebook page by the director of the Center for Political Conjuncture Alexei Chesnakov, close to Surkov. According to him, the decision was made due to the "change of course in the Ukrainian direction."

“Over the next month, he will be engaged in meditation. After that, he promised to report the reasons for the decision and about further plans, ”the political scientist said.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there was no Surkov’s resignation order yet.

Since 2011, Surkov has been deputy chairman of the Russian government, since 2012-the head of the government apparatus, and also worked as an assistant to the president in September 2013. He dealt with the issues of socio-economic cooperation with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as the settlement of the situation in the east of Ukraine.

On the occasion of the departure of Surkov from the civil service, we suggest recalling what was found in his hacked correspondence. On the invasion of Ukraine, corruption and much more.
