Even the most competent leader sometimes needs help solving a specific problem. President Putin's advisers deal with issues ranging from the climate to civil society development and human rights. In total, there are currently six full-time advisers and one on a voluntary basis in the staff of the presidential administration.
General information
The post of presidential adviser appeared in 1991 in accordance with the order of Boris Yeltsin. Officials were supposed to provide constant assistance to the head of state in the development and implementation of the national development strategy and state policy in certain areas of activity. The number of advisers is determined by the Russian president.
Putin currently has six full-time advisers and one freelance adviser who are involved in:
- preparation for the head of state of analytical, informational and reference materials and recommendations onissues related to staff management;
- ensuring the work of advisory and advisory bodies under the President in accordance with the instructions and tasks of him or the head of the Administration;
- execution of some other orders of the Russian President.
Who are they
In the new presidential administration appointed in June 2018, Putin's advisers have largely retained their positions. Two people were fired: German Klimenko (development of the Internet) and Sergei Grigorov (colonel general, specialist in the development of military equipment and equipment).
Famous economist Sergei Glazyev, Alexandra Levitskaya, Anton Kobyakov, Vladimir Tolstoy have been reappointed as advisers to Vladimir Putin. Mikhail Fedotov, who is the chairman of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, also retained his seat. Also, the only freelancer, Valentin Yumashev, was again reassigned.
Edelgeriev Ruslan Said-Khusainovich, who previously worked as the head of the government of the Chechen Republic, has been appointed to the position of presidential adviser - special representative on climate issues. This is the only new face among his colleagues.
In an interview on the occasion of his new appointment, Edelgeriev said that Russia has many global climate issues, including problems with warming. The country is a member of many international agreements and organizations, including being a party to the Paris and Kyoto agreements.
Senior Advisor
In June 2018, an order appeared on the President's website appointing Valentin Borisovich Yumashev, who previously (in 1997-1998) led the administration of President Yeltsin, as Putin's adviser on a voluntary basis.
As it turned out, Yumashev had been in this responsible post for 18 years. This was reported by the Press Service of the Presidential Center of Boris Yeltsin, of which he is a co-founder. The position is unique in its own way, the documents on the structure of the administration say nothing about it. It is unknown if he influenced any major decisions. It is likely that due to his status as an adviser to Putin and long-term acquaintance with the president, he has the opportunity to meet with him occasionally. In the modern system of Russian centralized power, such a lobbying resource can be very valuable.
Yumashev is married to Tatyana Dyachenko, the daughter of the first Russian president. In 2001, his daughter Polina (from his first marriage) married Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire.
Retired
Putin's most famous former adviser is undoubtedly Andrey Illarionov, who served in this post from 2000 to 2005. He gained notoriety for his controversial statements on government economic policy. For example, in 2001 he predicted an economic recession, but a significant economic growth followed. After the dismissal of the former high-ranking officialbecame a harsh critic of the Russian leadership.
The last retiree was German Klimenko, who worked as an adviser on the development of the Internet for only 2.5 years. Moreover, Putin personally invited him to the post. Prior to his appointment, Klymenko was engaged in Internet business, was the founder of the Liveinternet blogging platform.
