Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the reappointment of Mikhail Mishustin as the Prime Minister of Russia. Mishustin, known for his technocratic approach and low-key demeanor, served in the role for the past four years.
Many expected this. Putin likes Mishustin’s ability and his lack of political interest. Mishustin led Russia’s tax service before. It’s known that he focuses on managing well, not politics. He avoids talking about politics and being in the media.
Political experts saw this coming. They knew Putin likes Mishustin’s skills. Mishustin managed Russia’s tax service before. He’s known for managing well, not politics. He avoids talking about politics and being in the media.
In Russia, Mishustin resigned as the prime minister last week according to the law. Putin started his fifth term as president. Mishustin wants to be the prime minister again. The State Duma, part of Russia’s parliament, will decide if he can. They likely will approve it because they support Putin.
Before, Mishustin and his team helped keep the economy steady, despite challenges. They managed to deal with issues like Western sanctions. They might keep most of the people in the Cabinet. But, it’s not clear what will happen to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. His close friend, Timur Ivanov, got arrested for taking bribes.
Ivanov’s arrest could make Shoigu’s position weaker. People think it could be a power play within the Kremlin. Despite criticism for problems in Ukraine, Shoigu seemed safe. But now, people doubt if he’s still secure.
In the intricate world of Russian politics, Mishustin’s reappointment underscores Putin’s preference for continuity and stability, even amidst internal power struggles and uncertainties.
