Equidistant?

Under Viktor Basargin, almost no one from the team of the former Minister Dmitry Kozak remained in the leadership of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia. Of the nine deputy ministers, only one - Maxim Travnikov - was appointed to his position even before Basargin joined the ministry. The same is true for department heads. Of the 13 officials for whom there is a curriculum vitae, only two have been working in the ministry since the time of Kozak - Alexander Zhuravsky, director of the department for interethnic relations, and Elena Kodina, director of the department for the development of regions and municipalities. At the same time, it was Basargin who was appointed director of the Kodina department - under Kozak, she held a more modest position.

As it became known to Kommersant, Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov may take the post of head of the presidential department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens. The expert says that the department is not among the most influential in the presidential administration (AP), but for Mr. Travnikov this is a promotion. The current head of the department, Dmitry Zhuykov, can go to work in the government apparatus, Kommersant's sources say.


The presidential decree on the appointment of a new head of the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens should appear in the near future. On June 22, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the appointment of the heads of departments of his administration. All of them, except for the head of the department for ensuring the activities of the State Council, Mikhail Bryukhanov, and the head of the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens, Dmitry Zhuikov, were reappointed. Mr. Bryukhanov was appointed deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo on the same day, but Mr. Zhuikov's career prospects were not reported. One of Kommersant's sources draws attention to the fact that after the May reshuffle, the presidential aide Yevgeny Shkolov left the administration, to whom the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens is "functionally in many respects tied" (responsible for citizenship, pardon and granting political asylum).

Mr. Zhuikov has headed the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens since 2004. Prior to that - since 1997 - he worked as an assistant to the head of the Presidential Administration. Several interlocutors of Kommersant immediately say that he can go to work in the government apparatus.

Kommersant's sources in state structures say that Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov will become Dmitry Zhuykov's replacement. It has already passed the necessary checks. The transfer of Mr. Travnikov to the Presidential Administration was confirmed by a high-ranking Kommersant source in the Ministry of Justice.

According to him, the issues that Mr. Travnikov will be in charge of in the AP are familiar to him from his work in the department - he developed extradition agreements, touched on the subject of pardon, dealt with the transfer of convicts and citizenship issues.

He began his career with work in the legal department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, when the department was headed by Yevgeny Primakov. He worked in the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, in 2003 he moved to the Kremlin - to the apparatus of the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration Dmitry Kozak. In the same year, Mr. Kozak, on behalf of Vladimir Putin, began work on a plan for the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, which provides for the federalization of Moldova. Maxim Travnikov, together with Dmitry Kozak, participated in negotiations with the Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities. In November 2003, the document, which later became known as the Kozak Memorandum, was agreed upon. Vladimir Putin was preparing to fly to Chisinau to sign it, but just before the visit, the then president of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, refused to sign the plan. The arrival of the Russian leader was disrupted, and relations between Chisinau and Moscow were spoiled for a long time.

At the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Travnikov oversaw the department of international law, which acquired strategic importance in the face of sanctions and the diplomatic crisis. The powers of the department and, accordingly, the deputy minister in charge of this area were strengthened on May 28 by Vladimir Putin, who signed the amendments to the regulation on the ministry. The Ministry of Justice began to officially ensure the representation and protection of the interests of the Russian Federation in the courts of foreign states (previously, the department was endowed with such powers only in relation to the ECtHR). No less resonant in the activities of the international department of the Ministry of Justice was the long-term confrontation between the department and the tax authorities of Kazakhstan on the issue of the application of an apostille, to which many turned out to be hostages, including the largest Russian companies operating in Kazakhstan, and the arbitration courts of the Russian Federation, which had to "stamp" decisions on the duty of the department to provide this public service.

Pavel Krasheninnikov, head of the Duma Legislation Committee, says that "Mr. Travnikov is a literate person who knows not only Russian, but also foreign and international law." Political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko emphasizes that "Mr. Travnikov has long been among the promising figures, since 2009 he has been in the presidential personnel reserve." The Department for Ensuring the Constitutional Rights of Citizens is not among the most influential, but such an appointment is an increase for an official, especially since the functions of departments can change, the political scientist believes.
