Putin signed decrees on new appointments in the government and presidential administration

On Thursday, October 22, Vladimir Putin signed decrees appointing new deputy prime ministers, a presidential envoy, and a minister. The sweeping changes had previously been proposed by the prime minister, and the State Duma unanimously approved them the day before.

Dmitry Grigorenko also left the government, having headed the government apparatus for the past six years. His position was taken by Okladnikova.

Anton Siluanov has headed the Ministry of Finance since 2011, and now the ministerial post has been supplemented with the deputy prime minister role. The government explained this by the need to ensure financial stability and the efficiency of public spending amid growing external pressure.

In 2018–2020, Siluanov already combined the posts of first deputy prime minister and finance minister. After the formation of Mikhail Mishustin's first government, he retained only the ministerial portfolio.

According to RBC, after moving to the presidential administration, Yury Trutnev will be responsible for military-patriotic education, including overseeing Yunarmiya. The reshuffles in the Transport Ministry, which are also mentioned in the article, took place against the backdrop of the aviation crisis.
