The resignation of Vladimir Puchkov from the post of head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations was predictable, the reform of the agency is not ruled out under the next minister, the honored rescuer believes Russian Federation Alexander Gofstein.
Reasons for the dismissal of Minister of Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov
On Friday, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, made a proposal to appoint Evgeny Zinichev instead of Vladimir Puchkov to the post of head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In 2016, he led the Kaliningrad region, and before that he headed the regional department of the FSB.
“Everything went to the fact that Puchkov would not be renewed, the only question was when. It was expected that he would still leave the World Cup (football). The surname Zinichev is completely unfamiliar to me, but the tendency of the state is quite transparent - security officials are appointed to posts that they consider important, that is, people who are devoted, accustomed to following orders without regard to outside opinion, ”said Gofshtein.
In his opinion, when Sergei Shoigu was the minister, the ministry "developed creatively", but later the course was lost.
“After Shoigu left, a person with an clerical education arrived in his place, the secretary of state is the head of the office. And it turned out that at the head of the ministry, not questions of professionalism, but connections began to prevail. They fired a large number of wonderful people who did not fit on the basis of personal loyalty. The President, most likely, decided to lay siege to all this - visible failures, obvious discord, forest fires - in the usual way for himself, by appointing a security official. It must be that (Zinichev) is a strict, strong-willed person, but you can’t take strictness here alone, because the Ministry of Emergency Situations is a multifaceted work, a difficult and fascinating structure, ”the expert believes.
According to Gofshtein, the need to reform the ministry appeared long ago.
Gofshtein indicated that a reform of the ministry was not ruled out under the new leader.
“My forecast and aspirations are that these three services should be separated for a long time, and in this case, the Ministry of Emergency Situations will become a harmoniously functioning structure. Rescuers should be left as rescuers, probably, the status of the ministry should be reduced to an agency or service, the overgrown bureaucracy should be reduced to zero and the division of professions should begin,” the agency’s interlocutor concluded.
Achievements of Vladimir Puchkov
Vladimir Andreevich Puchkov - ex-head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation (2012-2018), lieutenant general of the reserve, holder of the class rank "actual state adviser of the 1st class" and the first degree of the first stage "candidate technical sciences", inventor.
In the ranking of popularity among the top leadership of the state, according to a sociological study of the national center for the study of public opinion, in 2015 he took third place (after Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov).
Citizens of the Russian Federation rated the quality of his work at 3.94 points on a five-point system. For comparison, in 2013 he occupied the third position in the rating with 3.48 points out of 5.
AdvertisingLet us recall that on May 18 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed decrees on the composition of the new Government. Now the Russians are starting to get to know the new composition of the government, in particular, and with the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev offered Russian President Vladimir Putin a list of members of the new government. The head of state agreed with the proposed candidates. The Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM of Russia) will be headed by Deputy Director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation Evgeny Zinichev.

In addition to the main duties of the Deputy Minister, Puchkov also participated in humanitarian missions, organized rescue and recovery campaigns in regions affected by disasters, natural disasters and military operations.
The year 2011 in the career of Vladimir Puchkov was marked by the initiative of an official to create voluntary fire brigades.

Not so long ago, the names of those who will be part of the new Government of the Russian Federation, formed by the new-old Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, were announced. Many ministers have lost their posts in the Cabinet of Ministers, and Minister for Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov was no exception. Who came to replace him? The new Minister of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in 2018: who is this person, biography, what is known, why exactly he headed the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Vladimir Puchkov has headed the Ministry of Emergency Situations since May 21, 2012, replacing Sergei Shoigu, with whom the Ministry of Emergency Situations has long been inextricably associated in the minds of the vast majority of Russians. During the years that Puchkov headed the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the population accumulated a considerable amount of claims against him, and therefore his resignation from the post of minister did not come as a surprise.
The first emergency that Puchkov faced was a flood in Krymsk, when 170 people died in July 2012. Then, as a result of the investigation of the Investigative Committee, it turned out that the organization of the notification was almost completely absent. automated system not more than fifty people could hear, but it was already too late.
Puchkov was also accused by the media of the death of a rescue team at the Severnaya mine in Komi, the crash of the Il-76, which put out fires near Irkutsk, and general systemic errors in the management of this ministry. There were even proposals to return the fire brigade to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and to transfer civil defense to the Ministry of Defense.
The last straws for Puchkov were the fires in Rostov-on-Don and Kemerovo mall"Winter cherry". After them, film director Nikita Mikhalkov spoke with serious criticism of the Ministry of Emergencies, saying that for 2017, about 30% of the personnel were reduced in the Ministry of Emergencies, and up to 50% in guards. The result, according to Mikhalkov, was that the staff of the ministry simply did not have enough workers to put out fires. Puchkov then did not agree with Mikhalkov's opinion, saying that this was nonsense.
Vladimir Puchkov worked as Sergei Shoigu's deputy when he was the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, but after he became head of the ministry, it became clear that Puchkov did not reach the level of Shoigu.
Literally a few days ago, Evgeny Zinichev was appointed to the post of Minister of Emergency Situations, who was proposed for this role by the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, Dmitry Medvedev. President Vladimir Putin approved Zinichev in this position.
Thus, Yevgeny Zinichev became a member of the new government. As for the politician's biography, there is no very detailed information about him on the Internet. It is only known that Zinichev in 1987-2015. worked in various positions in the field of state security.
Evgeny Zinichev was born on August 18, 1966 in Leningrad. In the mid-1980s, he served for 2 years in the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation, including Novaya Zemlya.
Zinichev graduated from higher education in the field of economics and law, has a number of diplomas in the field of economics and finance. The politician received his education in St. Petersburg. In the late 1980s - early 1990s, Evgeny Nikolayevich was an employee of the KGB of the USSR. Then he worked in the apparatus of the FSB. From the beginning of the 90s, Zinichev was listed in the FSO. For some time he was one of those who provided the personal protection of President Putin.
For some time, Yevgeny Zinichev often accompanied the president on business trips. There are a number of pictures in the public domain where it is clear that Zinichev was next to the president. But he was listed as an employee of the FSB or FSO. This fact is also not part of his official biography. Since 2014, Evgeny Zinichev has worked as deputy head of the FSB Anti-Terrorism Service. In 2015, he became the head of the FSB department in the Kaliningrad region, replacing Alexander Kozlov in this position.
In 2017, Evgeny Zinichev was appointed to the post of Acting Governor of the Kaliningrad Region. However, already in October, Zinichev resigned from this post of his own free will. Family circumstances were stated as the reason for leaving. In total, Zinichev worked in this position for 70 days. And the very next day, the politician received the post of Deputy Director of the FSB of Russia, from where he came to the post of Minister of Emergency Situations.
Concerning personal life Evgenia Zinicheva, the public knows that he has a wife, son and 3 grandchildren.
