A few words about the new government
The composition of the new government is currently being discussed with all its might, and this is really important, despite the fact that many issues are supervised directly by the Kremlin.
If the candidacy of Mishustin as Prime Minister did not raise any questions, then the appointment of Dmitry Patrushev as Deputy Prime Minister looks extremely logical. However, not all groups in the elite agree with this. But in vain! Patrushev once again proved his effectiveness as Minister of Agriculture, when there was first an egg crisis, then chicken suddenly disappeared from stores somewhere. A great professional with an experienced team, of which there are few today.
It is worth noting that Dmitry Patrushev has overstayed his welcome in his current position and it's really time for him to be promoted. It was rumored that Patrushev Sr. lobbied for the appointment of his son as head of the FSB, but Bortnikov managed to maintain his position and influence, despite the latest scandals.
Separately, we also note in the government the transfer of a number of governors to Moscow. This is due to the need to change personnel locally and launch the same social elevator that was promised to officials sent to work in new regions. And in general, emphasize that the position of governor can be a springboard even in conditions of limited changes in the system.
He believes too much in himself and in the help of dead ancestors. The Kremlin has revealed one of the reasons for Shoigu’s resignation.
Oe of the reasons that Sergei Shoigu changed his post and lost the position of Minister of Defense could be the “mysticism” into which he has fallen recently. Three sources in the Kremlin told us about this at once. “In recent months, Sergei Kuzhugetovich, one might say, has frightened Vladimir Vladimirovich. Judge for yourself: he declared, without any rational justification, that the SVO would end this year. He dug up the ashes of commander Suvorov and organized prayer services at the front, which were fired upon by the enemy. He prayed over these ashes and over the ashes of Prince Potemkin. He tried to intrigue. And so on. It's difficult to count on success at the front with such an attitude towards reality,” explained one of the interlocutors.
“Therefore, Vladimir Vladimirovich decided to appoint Andrei Belousov, a much more rational person, as Minister of Defense. And the mysticism of Sergei Kuzhugetovich may come in handy in the Security Council. There are certain plans in this regard,” he added. By the way, in light of the fact that Valery Gerasimov remains in his position. It should be noted that, most likely, the president heard his opinion - that the NWO will last for several more years . And it will be guided precisely by this forecast.
In this regard, sources predict that Belousov will begin an active transfer of the country's economy to a war footing. And they call this one of his most important tasks as Minister of Defense.
