President Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s new Cabinet, including new ministers of health, economics, and regional development.
Elvira Nabiullina has been promoted from first deputy economics minister to head of the ministry, replacing German Gref.
Tatyana Golikova, formerly deputy finance minister, has been appointed health and social development minister, in place of Mikhail Zurabov. The new minister is the wife of re-appointed Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko.
Another family connection within the Cabinet – Serdyukov’s marriage to the new prime minister’s daughter – earlier prompted the defense minister to offer his resignation to the president, but Putin kept him at the post.
Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin has retained his post and is now also a deputy premier, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov have been re-appointed to their posts.
In the new Cabinet, First Deputy Prime Ministers Dmitry Medvedev and Sergei Ivanov have retained their posts. Both are widely viewed as likely presidential contenders in the March 2008 elections.
Dmitry Kozak, formerly special representative of the president in the Southern Federal District and perceived as a close Putin ally, has been appointed regional development minister, replacing Vladimir Yakolev.
Two new committees have appeared within the government structure – a state committee for youth affairs, and a state fisheries committee. The president said certain functions of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade had been clarified, RIA Novosti informs.
