Analysing Putin’s unconventional “bundled” government reshuffle
For the first time during his presidency, Vladimir Putin on Nov 9 dismissed four members of Mikhail Mishustin’s cabinet:
- Alexander Novak, Minister of Energy,
- Yevgeny Ditrikh, Minister of Transport,
- Vladimir Yakushev, Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities, and
- Dmitry Kobylkin, Minister for Natural Resources and the Environment.
Igor Artemiev, who has headed the Federal Antimonopoly Service since 2004, also left office on November 11.
Parliament’s role is transformed. Also, a format of “presidential government” is possible with the President and the Presidential Administration managing several areas or federal executive bodies in manual mode.
