“We expressed gratitude to both the chairman (who resigned. - RT ) of the government, and cabinet members for building effective work with parliament, for the fact that much has been done,” Volodin quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

At the same time, he noted that "the tasks that the country poses in the message of the president must be solved more dynamically, reaching concrete results."

He also called expectations from the new government.

“The expectations from the (new. - RT ) government are just that: that national projects will be implemented more efficiently, the government will more actively solve the problems of economic development,” the speaker said.

January 15, Dmitry Medvedev, at that time holding the post of Prime Minister of Russia, announced the resignation of the government.
