The government on Tuesday for the seventh time reported to the State Duma. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev spoke to MPs about an hour, and then about two hours answering their questions and listened to speeches by leaders of the four factions.
Fedorov criticized in absentia
Prime Minister arrived in the State Duma, accompanied by deputies and ministers, among whom there was no Minister of Agriculture Nikolai Fyodorov, although he was on the guest list, drew the attention of RBC federal official. A few days before the government’s report to the media reports about the impending resignation Fedorov.
Personal punishment for the Minister of Agriculture from Medvedev demanded the head of United Russia faction Vladimir Vasiliev: in the midst of planting season to farmers came less than 30% of those prescribed in the federal budget, he said.
Speech Vasilyev was one of the toughest on the basis of the report. In addition Fedorov, he proposed to punish personally Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov, responsible for the cancellation of trains in the regions. The problem was discussed in the State Duma with Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, all agreed that it should be solved, but the question again came during a straight line with President Vladimir Putin (interviewee asked the president to restore the train Saratov – Balashov), lamented the head of United Russia. “Ministers should probably personally answer” – summed Vasiliev. The rest of his speech dedicated to the protection of United Russia, the Government of criticism from the opposition.
Soft opposition
Opposition factions were much softer promised. Thus, the Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov did not call for the resignation of the government, although all managers faction said on the eve of RBC that this requirement is sound. Medvedev said a Communist, “why he holds the Ministers of Education and Economics Dmitry Livanov and Alexei Ulyukayev, who really did not realize.” Economic bloc of the government provoked the crisis, when in the fall of oil prices at the end of last year refused to currency regulation and at the same time raised the benchmark interest rate, said Zyuganov. Claims to Livanov Zyuganov did not specify.
Speech Zyuganov was surprisingly soft, recognized interlocutor RBC during the Communist faction. P anee Duma sources RBC said that government officials to report to work with the opposition factions, trying to temper their critical attitude. This is confirmed by a federal official: this work is always carried out, the questions that will be asked in the hall, in advance blab. With the communists in this sense to work the hardest, says the source: they do not like to discuss the questions in advance.

On Tuesday, one of the three questions Communists changed directly during the report, knows one of the Communists deputy Nikolai Arefiev included in the list of speakers refused the question, instead by Vladimir Kashin. He asked Medvedev on plans to engage in trafficking of abandoned agricultural land and received a promise to develop a list of such measures.
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky suggested Medvedev to dismiss the chairman of the Central Elvira Nabiullina, and the Central Bank subordinate to Parliament (now independent). Previously, such a bill introduced by representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party in the State Duma, its prospects are unclear.
The leader of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, Sergei Mironov without any cost for the resignation, though, as he had promised reporters on the eve of the report is completely focused on criticism of the financial and economic and social units of government. The first block is inattentive to the real sector of the economy, and helps only the banking system, the second makes a mistake, if you cancel the maternity capital, Mironov said.
Medvedev to none for the resignation and punishment of his ministers did not respond. In his speech, he insisted on the shared responsibility of all branches of government for the crisis – a payment for the decision to return the Crimea to Russia, which was only possible and taken together with an awareness of the possible consequences, reminded the Prime Minister. Unprecedented external sanctions pressure on the Russian economy has increased the fall in oil prices. Now the situation has stabilized, but there should be no illusions.
The requests in the form of questions
The wording of questions of deputies (from each fraction was set to three), as well as expected, were not hard, all the questions, Medvedev was ready answers. Most effectively were United Russia. Chairman of the Committee on Labor Olga Batalina received from the government promise to provide additional money to finance the program for the construction of kindergartens (20 billion rubles. To 10 billion rubles., Already budgeted for this year). Member of the same committee Valery Trapeznikova Medvedev promised to discuss the issue of raising five years retirement age for members, federal, regional and municipal officials. Trapeznikov understood that the Government will make such a bill to the Duma, and promised to make efforts to ensure that it was passed in the first reading before the end of the spring session.
Asked by Eser, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science Valeria Chereshneva, Medvedev did not rule out the possibility of division into two departments of the Ministry of Education and Science. In response, the representative of the Liberal Democratic Party Mikhail Degtyarev Prime Minister promised for the second reading of the draft law on amnesty of capital to strengthen security guarantees for entrepreneurs who decide to use it to legalize their assets. Representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party also received a promise to begin in Russia production of components for medicines that are now being purchased abroad and seriously rose.
LDPR faction on the eve of the government’s report was also going to ask for intervention Medvedev’s problem with illegal evacuation vehicles. But this question during the government’s report has not sounded. Also, there was no question about the Crimea: it was not among the n ismennyh issues aimed factions in the government in advance, Medvedev said, were not interested in the fate of the new parliament in the region and verbally.
