Russia's Putin Makes Cabinet Changes
By No author... AGAIN! (Direct
descendent of Karl Marx)
Associated Press Writer MARCH 28, 07:24 EST
MOSCOW (AP) � Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday made his most sweeping Cabinet changes since becoming president a year ago, naming his Security Council chief as the new defense
minister.
(And people said not to
worry when an ex-KGB Boss was "elected" President in Russia! No,
he won't recreate a KGB heavy Russian Government! Well look at what we
have here... a KGB heavy Russian Government! I believe it's about time we
stop sending the Commies the American tax-payer's money! Of course, that
should have never started! The Eagle will go to the side of it's fallen
enemy, The Bear. - tha malcontent)
The changes came amid a growing climate of distrust with the United States as well as signs that Russia's modest economic upswing is slowing
down.
(The "growing climate
of distrust" came after the Commie sympathizer MARXIST, William the Liar
left office! Now Comrade Putin doesn't have anyone on the
"inside" and he isn't very happy about it! - tha malcontent)
Changes in Putin's Cabinet, which is made up largely of holdovers from former President Boris Yeltsin, had been
expected.
(So don't worry your
pretty little heads! - tha malcontent)
Putin replaced Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev with Security Council chief Sergei Ivanov, the first civilian defense minister in post-Soviet
Russia.
(This last sentence is
deliberately designed to be confusing... Comrade Ivanov is former KGB and is the
General of the Russian security services... that's defined as "civilian"?
I think the "Free Press" is incorporating some of that good old
"Soviet Propaganda" in this piece of journalistic tripe! - tha
malcontent)
Western governments had long recommended that Russia follow the practice of putting a civilian in charge of the military. However, Ivanov, a longtime KGB veteran in the Soviet era, holds the rank of general in the powerful Russian security
services.
(Please, pay no attention
to the man behind the "iron curtain"! - tha malcontent)
In a surprise announcement, Putin named Boris Gryzlov, a leader of the pro-Kremlin Unity party and a newcomer to Russias' political elite, as the new interior minister, who is in charge of police and interior
troops.
(Cold War II... The Dubya
Bush Generation! - tha malcontent)
Those two appointments mean that Putin has now placed his own loyalists in charge of two key ministries.
Ousted Interior Minister Vladimir Rushailo was named chief of the Security Council, an influential advisory body to
Putin.
("an influential
advisory body"... more Newspeak! - tha malcontent)
The other changes included replacing embattled Atomic Energy Minister Yevgeny Adamov with Alexander Rumyantsev.
(No credentials for Comrade
Rumyantsev? I am disappointed "Free Press"! - tha malcontent)
Explaining his decision, Putin said the changes would help ``demilitarize'' Russia's public life. He also said the shakeup is linked with the changing situation in and around breakaway Chechnya, where car bombs this weekend killed at least 23
people.
(Chechnya is first on a long list of areas that will be "re-stabilized" by Mother Russia! Go back to watching Network sitcoms SHEEP! You don't care about any of this international stuff anyway! - tha malcontent)
