Russia President Vladimir Putin spoke of the forum as an important and demanded platform for dialogue between politicians, civic leaders, entre- preneurs and experts. FGC UES delegation, led by Chairman of the Board Andrey Murov, took part in the business agenda of Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), includ- ing the plenary sitting «Far East: expanding the borders of opportunitites». On the sidelines of EEC, FGC UES signed cooperation agreements with Pimorye and Sakhalin region to ensure higher rates of power supply in those regions by using facilities of distributed generation of its subsidiary Mobile GTPP. One of the key directions for FGC UES’s activi- ties in the Far East is connected with tackling the energy deficit problem in technically isolated areas. Those measures will help to connect the isolated central energy hub of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to the unified energy system Panel of the Eastern Economic Forum 2018 of Russia. ■ Dmitry Medvedev at Sloboda SS Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev paid a working visit to the first digital distribution zone of electric networks of the Moscow region.

General Director of Rosseti Pavel Livin- sky demonstrated the effect of imple- mentation of the new digital distribution zone, which includes Sloboda substation in Istra district, to the members of the delegation. In the course of the tour, Dmitry Medvedev asked about the country of origin of the power equipment, used at Sloboda SS. Pavel Livinsky explained that the overwhelming majority of units are Russian-made or localized.

  • Politburo 2.0: Renovation Instead of Dismantling

    Politburo 2.0: Renovation Instead of Dismantling

    Politburo 2.0: Renovation instead of dismantling 12 OCTOBER 2017 This anniversary report of the Politburo 2.0 series aims to provide a retrospective view of internal processes in the Russian elite over the past 5 years, during Vladimir Putin’s third presidential term and in the lead up to his possible fourth (2018-2024). This research project is based on proprietary methodology involving the usage of analysis of open sources, expert surveys, projections, and expert modelling (see Appendix 1, p. 12). The first report of this series, Vladimir Putin’s Big Government and Politburo 2.0, published in August 2012, drew a significant response from Russian elites. Already on the day of publication, we have started receiving feedback from people whom we had described as members and candidate members of the Politburo 2.0, members of the Central Committee, and representatives of their teams. We keep receiving this feedback, which enables us to constantly upgrade our model. First and foremost, the description of the ruling elites by experts turned out to be interesting to those elites. The pinnacle of the Politburo 2.0’s public legitimation as a model was when a representative of businessman Gennady Timchenko made an official statement on the publication of the report’s 2016 issue, denying the assertion that Timchenko had left the president’s inner circle and Politburo 2.0. Several thousand publications in the Russian and foreign media were dedicated to the model of Politburo 2.0. It is studied in top Russian and international universities, and not only in modules focusing on Russia, but also in theoretical courses as an example of original proprietary methodology of studying political elites.
  • Russia Military Strategy

    Russia Military Strategy

    Cover The cover illustration highlights the words Russia and military strategy. The General Staff and the Academy of Military Science continue to keep strategic thought in sync with future war scenarios and high-tech developments, such as hypersonic missiles. The subtitle informs that military reform is designed to incorporate new weaponry and organizational shifts into the force. The objects clutched by the double-headed eagle signify Russia’s reform progress from the era of Kalashnikov rifles to the era of digital input guaranteeing the “informationization” of military equipment. Geopolitical initiatives ensure that Russia looks out for its strategic interests. The views expressed in this document are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Department of Defense or the US government. The author works for the Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. FMSO is a component of the US Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) G-2.
