“We see that the entire social block has been replaced, and the power block has been left unchanged. This suggests that the government option is a compromise. On the one hand, it provides stability, and on the other, volatility, ”the political scientist believes.

Volchkov drew attention to the fact that "external observers ascertain the presence of several interest groups around the president and to change something is radically unreasonable."

“That is, in order to regulate relations with all social forces in leading areas, the president preferred to address them sequentially. But the president’s proposals contain a kind of compromise, which promises us the further development of events, ”he said.

Earlier it became known that Sergey Lavrov and Sergey Shoigu retained the posts of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense in the new government.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin also signed a decree according to which the prime minister will have nine deputies, including one chief.
