Change the Russian government is still the center of attention of the whole country. No one could have imagined, and that the post of head of the cabinet, and ministerial posts, the bulk of people will come far from the highest echelons of the Russian government.
Appointment of the new government was a real triumph of "dark horses" – of people, who until recently worked in the middle tier of the Russian authorities were not public figures, not used in some large-scale influence on Russian politics. Even Michael Mishustin always remained in the shadows, that talk about people, appointed to the post of vice-premiers and ministers.
What is surprising, there was virtually no information leaks about the figure of the new prime minister. No one could have imagined, that the government headed by it Mishustin - called a variety of names, by Kudrin to Belousov, but the head of the tax service was not considered a likely candidate for the second post in the country.
Another key figure in the new government - Andrei Belousov, under which it is now open all the economic bloc. Among Russian officials Belousov top echelon is called one of the few statesmen, his initiatives at the time highly valued, for example, such as the Economist Glazyev. And now Belousov have a real opportunity to direct funding for national projects.
Looks like, in Russian politics finally come young executives - technocrats, the main advantage of which their knowledge and professional experience, instead of belonging to some clan interest groups. Although, of course, after Mishustin the cabinet came and people of the Federal Tax Service: So, the head of the government staff appointed deputy head of the Federal Tax Service of Dmitry Grigorenko, Twenty years of a successful career in the structure. Another tax collector – Alex Overchuk, ten years, former adviser to the head of the Federal Tax Service.
For the development of digital communications and will now be responsible Maksut Shadayev, is engaged in realization of the project of e-parliament and a former adviser Sergei Naryshkin. Science and Higher Education will oversee the former Rector of the Tyumen State University Valery Falkov - young and promising frame of education, health care and put medical professionals - Michael Murashko, begins its journey easy obstetrician-gynecologist in the republican hospital in Komi.
Needless to say, Putin is tired of shuffling the same deck? of course, several heavyweights in the new government will. These are the people, which enjoy great prestige among the population and have impressive connections. Sergei Lavrov and Sergei Shoigu - the pillars of Putin's foreign policy, which is associated with the success of the country - the reunification of the Crimea, opposition to sanctions, anti-terrorist operation in Syria. They could not drive out, And yet there is no one to replace.
But the main problem of the new government will have to decide just in the economic sphere and the social sphere. And here is where it all will depend on the "dark horses" Mishustina cabinet. They will have a great chance to show themselves to be effective managers, or leave bad memories about themselves or the absence of any memory of affairs. In this case, There's a possibility, President without much regret to part with them.
The uniqueness of the new government in, that it will be settled exclusively by technical problems and, as it appears, operate with maximum coherence, since Michael Mishustina longstanding good relations with the main part of Ministers, appointed to the new cabinet.
