MOSCOW, May 8 – RIA Novosti. The State Duma approved the candidacy of Dmitry Medvedev for the post of Prime Minister of the country, he promised to form a government in the near future in order to quickly begin implementing the strategic decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Immediately after the State Duma meeting, Putin signed a decree appointing Medvedev as prime minister.
Medvedev was supported by 374 parliamentarians (75 more than in 2012), 56 deputies voted against, and three more legislators who registered at the beginning of the meeting did not express their point of view. The voting was open - as State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said, voters would be able to familiarize themselves with the position of each deputy.
The leader of A Just Russia, Sergei Mironov, said that his faction does not support Medvedev’s candidacy; it was previously reported that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation intended to take such a position.
“I am fully aware of both the responsibility and the difficulties that the government will face in any case, but I am confident that we will be able to solve all these tasks set by the president,” Medvedev said after the approval.
He promised that the government would be ready to work with every deputy to implement the president’s plans.
Needs no introduction
Putin, proposing a candidate for the post of prime minister, began his speech by saying that Medvedev was well known to the deputies. “Of course, Dmitry Anatolyevich needs no introduction,” the Russian leader said.
He noted that the situation over the past six years has been acute, sometimes even seeming dramatic, but the government has solved problems and increased capabilities.
The large-scale, complex work was carried out thoroughly, honestly, and responsibly, Putin said. “Everything achieved over the past years creates a solid foundation for moving forward,” he added.
The President spoke about his strategic decree, signed the day before: we are talking about an active policy of demographic development, breakthroughs in technology and science, and achieving a new quality of life for people. The targets have been set on a large scale, and the consolidation of the entire society is needed, the head of state concluded.
Putin noted that “democraticism, openness to dialogue and discussion, receptivity to substantive proposals and substantive criticism - all this became the signature, professional style of the previous government.” “And great credit for the formation of such a modern management culture belongs, of course, to Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev,” said the head of state.
According to him, it is important to ensure continuity and new dynamics in the work of the government, and “there is no time to unwind,” since the new Cabinet faces very ambitious tasks.
Putin said that for the last year and a half, Medvedev has been working on a program that the executive and legislative branches will now have to implement; the government will play a key role in this; it must be formed quickly.
Growth and customization
After Medvedev's confirmation, the Russian leader said that economic growth and adjustment of the tax system would provide additional funds to implement the strategic decree. The authorities expect to receive 300-400 billion rubles of additional revenue from small systemic measures in the tax sphere - 1.2 trillion in total. But setting up the tax system should not disrupt macroeconomic stability, Putin emphasized.
The President said that the authorities are open to proposals from all factions to form a new government.
Russia will continue to diversify the structure of its international reserves, Putin noted. He agreed with the assessments that were made about the need to “break away from the dollar” and increase economic sovereignty, because the monopoly of the American currency is unreliable and dangerous for many.
As the president said, the number of poor in the country is decreasing, but at an insufficient pace, the government must “target this poverty, fight it and win.”
Russia should not engage in self-isolation, it cannot isolate itself and be “like cucumbers in a barrel,” Putin said, it is necessary to fight for a place in the world market.
The 8 trillion challenge
In his speech, Medvedev thanked Putin for his trust, and if the appropriate decision was made, he promised to do everything for the development of our country. The state, he said, has a high goal - a breakthrough in the economy. “The one who is not afraid for his future is prosperous,” he said.
According to him, the Russian economy should give every citizen a chance to try themselves in different fields without the risk of “falling into poverty.”
The world is changing quickly, Medvedev noted, a few years ago it was different, but it’s not just about sanctions, although such measures are a failure of world politics. Russia is no stranger to living in conditions of upheaval, we have learned to do this, but now the country is at a turning point, a new base is needed for a fundamental breakthrough, he emphasized, and Russia has been and will be a significant part of the global world.
The tasks set by the president, according to Medvedev, are unprecedented in scale, and we need to work on solving them right now.
Medvedev said that it is necessary to achieve an increase in life expectancy, it is necessary to move away from restrictions that constrain the economy and business, and the general goal of the authorities should not be the nationalization of the economy.
Medvedev then moved on to a practical assessment of the implementation of the presidential decree. According to preliminary calculations, the amount of funds needed to implement the assigned tasks in the coming years will be about 25 trillion rubles, that is, 8 trillion must be added to the planned money. The economic development program until 2024 and 12 priority national projects will become the basis for the government’s step-by-step work, he said, and to implement the presidential decree, the government needs such components as clear planning, financial resources, personnel and an effectively working mechanism.
As Medvedev said, in the near future he will present to the president his proposals on the structure of executive authorities, ministers and deputy prime ministers. The already announced candidates for deputy prime ministers were previously agreed upon with the president, he explained.
Medvedev concluded his speech with the words of Anton Chekhov: “Actions are determined by their goals: a case that has a great goal is called great.”
Retirement age and party membership
The leader of A Just Russia, Sergei Mironov, asked Medvedev how he felt about the proposal to suspend membership in United Russia, so that, in the opinion of the main Socialist Revolutionary, not to violate the principle of separation of powers. “I have a negative attitude towards this,” Medvedev responded.
Other questions concerned raising the retirement age and the personal income tax rate. Medvedev said that decisions regarding the retirement age must be made, but carefully and carefully. “The government will prepare its proposals in the shortest possible time and submit them to the State Duma,” he said.
No decisions are being prepared to increase the personal income tax rate, Medvedev added.
State Duma deputies asked the candidate for prime minister eight questions, most of which related to the social sphere and the economy. Representatives of four parliamentary factions asked Medvedev two questions each. Three of them concerned the social sphere and were associated with an increase in the retirement age, the availability and quality of medicines, as well as an increase in life expectancy in Russia. The deputies were also interested in the mechanism for compensating the regions' expenses for increasing the minimum wage and increasing the personal income tax.
Parliamentarians prepared one question each on the topic of ecology, the international situation and the political system of Russia. Medvedev, in particular, was asked about the Russian Federation’s use of “soft power” in foreign policy.
Candidates and tasks
Medvedev on Monday announced plans for his deputies. The first deputy prime minister should be Anton Siluanov (who will oversee the financial and economic bloc), and the deputy prime ministers should be Tatyana Golikova (social bloc), Alexey Gordeev (agroindustrial complex), Dmitry Kozak (industry and energy), Vitaly Mutko (construction), Yuri Borisov (OPK), Olga Golodets (culture and sports), Maxim Akimov (digital economy, transport and communications) and Konstantin Chuychenko (as chief of staff). In addition, according to a RIA Novosti source in the Cabinet of Ministers, it is planned to retain Yuri Trutnev as Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President.
On Monday, a presidential decree “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024” was issued. In particular, in it, the head of state instructed to halve the poverty level in the country, ensure sustainable growth in real incomes of citizens, increase the level of pensions at least below inflation, improve the living conditions of at least 5 million families annually, and provide mortgages of 8% for families with average incomes , ensure an increase in life expectancy to 78 years, and by 2030 - to 80 years.
It has long been noted that the children and grandchildren of our patriotic sovereign rulers study and live in the West.
Parents send their children to live in the West, buy property there, send money there and even have dual citizenship...
All this happens for a simple reason - they despise Russia, its people, and they have long given up on the country they rule.
The list of children of the Russian government living in the West almost permanently is long and I will cite only a few of them.
AT FIRST
I will briefly list the names of some of the members of our government and the location of their families.
1. Family of President V. Putin
Very little is known about the president’s family, given the family’s closed lifestyle. He was married and divorced.
In the early 90s, Putin returned to Leningrad and sent his daughters back to Germany to study at the prestigious German gymnasium “Peterschule”.
In the mid-90s they returned to Russia and in 1996 moved to Moscow.
But even here the daughters did not abandon the German path. Their “German School of Moscow” is still located in the “embassy town” on Vernadsky Avenue, surrounded by a fence with video cameras, with “Achtung!” inscriptions everywhere.
In the early 2000s, both of Putin’s daughters were officially registered as students at St. Petersburg State University, but no one saw them there.
It is known that the youngest daughter Ekaterina lives permanently in Germany, in the city of Munich.
In 2013, the wedding of Katerina Putina and Yoon Joon Won (Korean) took place in one of the hotels in Morocco in 2013 and was grandiose in scope.
The eldest, Maria, lives in Holland, in the town of Voorshooten, not far from The Hague, and lives not alone, but with a 33-year-old Dutchman, Jorrit Faassen.
The specific area of residence of the couple is also known - KrimwijkHeet. Maria Putina lives in an elite house, where she occupies a penthouse on the top floor.

It’s not clear how Elena Mizulina, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, left her own son in such gay danger?!...
Probably she cared about the people, but forgot about her son...
13. N. Valuev, State Duma deputy from the United Russia faction
In the summer, his wife lives in his Spanish house, and his children and parents live almost permanently.
They also live alternately in Germany.

"My daughter is studying at school, my wife is a successful economist, my son is a student at the Institute of Physical Education. Like, we like to get together for tea..."
The booklets, however, do not indicate where the Yakunin family lives. Meanwhile, on social networks, the official’s wife, Julia, named Nice as her place of residence.
Son Mikhail writes that he lives in Ontario. The daughter lives with her mother and uses English as her primary language.
By the way, Nizhny Novgorod mayor Oleg Sorokin also found a villa on the Cote d'Azur. More precisely, his wife

And I even recently received Estonian citizenship.
18. Family of A. Fursenko.
Former Minister of Education Andrei Fursenko, who pushed the Unified State Exam system into the country, for a long time hid from the public that his children also studied abroad.
Today his son Alexander lives permanently in the USA
19. Family of V. Nikonov (grandson of Molotov), president of the Politika Foundation
Son Alexey is a US citizen.
Where did this gentleman show up? That's right, in the Anti-Magnitsky Act, in defense of the law banning the adoption of children by American citizens.
CONCLUSION
This is only the shortest list; in fact, the number of children and grandchildren living in the West amounts to thousands, if not tens of thousands.
The list contains the most odious “patriots” and “enemies of the West” who keep their families in the “den of the enemy.”
Their children study, live and work in the West; they no longer have anything in common with Russia. This is the path their parents chose for them.
Their parents are the president, prime minister, his deputies, ministers, deputies, etc.~
They despise Russia and its people, they see the future of their children and their own in the West, where they have everything to meet old age.
With such a hypocritical government, Russia has no future.
MOSCOW, May 3 - RIA Novosti. Dmitry Medvedev's presidency began with a difficult decision on a military operation against Georgia, which attacked South Ossetia, and ends with large-scale political reform, including simplification of the registration of political parties and the return of gubernatorial elections, a decree on which the head of state signed the day before. Medvedev's four years as president will also be remembered for the renaming of the militia into the police, the replacement of approximately half of the governor's corps, the formation of "greater Moscow" and the abolition of the seasonal change of clock hands, which is customary for Russians.
After the inauguration of President-elect Vladimir Putin, scheduled for May 7, Medvedev is leaving the highest government post and is expected to become prime minister. The State Duma may consider his candidacy for the post of head of government on May 8.
1. Modernization
Modernization of the Russian economy has become the main program feature of the new President Dmitry Medvedev, who actually introduced this word into the modern Russian lexicon. In a message to the Federal Assembly in 2009, he said to the country that it was no longer possible to delay this. According to Medvedev, it is necessary to modernize the economy as a whole, as well as the production sector, the army, medicine, technology, including space technology, education and human upbringing. In this regard, the introduction of innovation and energy efficiency is of great importance. The Skolkovo innovation center, created on the initiative of Medvedev after he visited the famous Silicon Valley in the United States, is intended to become a symbol of the new economy. In the future, Skolkovo should become Russia's largest testing ground for the new economic policy. In a specially designated area in the near Moscow region, special conditions will be created for research and development, including the creation of energy and energy-efficient technologies, nuclear, space, biomedical and computer technologies. In 2012, about 1 trillion rubles will be allocated for modernization programs, according to Medvedev.
2. Constitutional changes
The main foreign policy event in Medvedev’s activities as president was the outbreak of hostilities in South Ossetia. As a result of Georgian aggression, civilians and Russian peacekeepers died. The President of the Russian Federation gave the order to send troops into South Ossetia and conduct an operation “to force Georgia to peace.” The result of the five-day operation was the destruction of the main military infrastructure of the Georgian army and ships of the Georgian battle fleet in the port of Poti. On August 12, Medvedev announced the end of the operation, saying that its goal had been achieved - the safety of the peacekeeping forces and civilian population had been restored, the aggressor had been punished and had suffered very significant losses. On the same day in Moscow, the presidents of Russia and France agreed on a plan called “Medvedev-Sarkozy” and provided for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgian territory and guarantees for the security of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Two weeks later, on August 26, after corresponding requests from Tskhinvali and Sukhumi, the Russian President announced that Moscow would recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Later, Russian military bases were deployed on the territory of these countries, which were not recognized by most states of the world. Georgia, in response to this, withdrew from the CIS and continues to insist on its territorial integrity and demand the withdrawal of the Russian military from South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
6. START Treaty
Relations between Russia and the United States in the field of arms over the past four years have not been easy, but in April 2010, the heads of the two countries in Prague signed a new START treaty, designed to become one of the foundations of the modern international security system. The parties intend to reduce the total number of warheads by a third over seven years - to 1.55 thousand - compared to the Moscow Treaty of 2002 and more than halve the maximum level for strategic delivery vehicles. To enter into force, the treaty had to be approved by both houses of the Russian parliament, as well as the Senate of the US Congress. Russia's demand for synchronous ratification of the document was fundamental, and this was achieved.
7. Replacement of governors
The years of Medvedev's presidency in the field of domestic policy were marked by a change in the overwhelming number of governors and heads of regions, among whom were many political long-livers from the era of the 90s. So, in 2010 alone, the President of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev, his “neighbor” from Bashkiria Murtaza Rakhimov and the head of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov left their posts “at their own request”. Another “heavyweight,” Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, was dismissed by Medvedev with the humiliating wording “due to loss of trust.” Intensive replacement of governors began after the December elections to the State Duma, as a result of which the ruling United Russia weakened its position. Thus, over the past months, the heads of the Primorsky, Perm, Stavropol territories, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Yaroslavl, Smolensk, Kostroma, Saratov and a number of other regions have resigned.
Medvedev's most controversial reform as president was the reduction of the number of time zones in Russia and the change of standard time in a number of regions. In June 2011, the president signed a law that abolished the seasonal change of clock hands. On the night of March 27, 2011, Russians moved their clocks forward an hour for the last time and switched to “summer time.” However, the past year has shown that the change of the already familiar regime is perceived very ambiguously by Russian citizens, which has given rise to new discussions. The other day Medvedev said that for winter and summer time, if the majority supports it, for example, by electronic voting.
