Along with this, Kudrin indicated that he had undertaken obligations to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin in the Accounts Chamber and believes that for now he should fulfill his duties in this department.

“I do not feel divorced from acute problems ... those proposals that we have formulated are included in the list of instructions of the president. In general, such a model of work suits me, ”he said.

Also, the head of the Accounts Chamber expressed confidence that the composition of the Russian Cabinet will basically remain the same.

On January 15, the Russian government resigned. Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly afterwards signed a decree that made Medvedev deputy chairman of the Security Council.

Putin also appointed Mikhail Mishustin the new chairman of the government of the Russian Federation. Prior to that, the State Duma deputies approved his candidacy.
