“If we are talking about Vladimir Kolokoltsev and the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then we can say that in the last 3 years in Russia the crime rate is at the lowest ratings that have ever been in the history of the country. You can even compare with the Soviet period, the crime rate is still lower. In this, including the merit of Kolokoltsev. With him, all indicators are improving, ”said Matveychev.
According to him, "foreign policy and defense are developing and remain at the right level, do not need major reforms."
“As for Sergei Shoigu and the Ministry of Defense, we all saw Syria, new weapons, we see how exercises are regularly held, at which the president is personally present. If we talk about Yevgeny Zinichev and the Ministry of Emergencies, fires and everything else fell upon us. Despite some reproaches, we did not reach the disasters of the Australian level. There are no complaints about the work of these ministers, they show only successes, ”the expert believes.
Matveychev also noted that “social ministries turned out to be most susceptible to changes and the provisions of the financial bloc partially changed”.
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. Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev and Emergencies Minister Yevgeny Zinichev also retained their posts.
