Medvedev, after the inauguration appointed on May 7, the elected President Vladimir Putin leaves from the highest state post and is expected to become the prime minister. His candidate for the post of head of the government of the State Duma may consider on May 8.

1. Modernization

The modernization of the Russian economy has become the main program "Fishka" of the new president of Dmitry Medvedev, who actually introduced this word into modern Russian lexicon. In the Epistle of the Federal Assembly of 2009, he called the modernization of the country's survival and stated that he could no longer be merged with it. To modernize, according to Medvedev, it is necessary to economy as a whole, as well as the production sphere, army, medicine, technology, up to cosmic, education and education of a person. Of great importance in this regard acquires the introduction of innovation and energy efficiency. The symbol of the new economy is intended to become an innovative center "Skolkovo", created on the initiative of Medvedev after he visited the famous silicon valley in the US. In the future, Skolkovo should be the largest in Russia by the test test site of the new economic policy. Specially designated territories in the near Moscow region will create special conditions for research and development, including to create energy and energy-efficient technologies, nuclear, cosmic, biomedical and computer technologies. In 2012, about 1 trillion rubles will be allocated for programs in the field of modernization, according to Medvedev.

2. Changes to the Constitution

Considering its first message to the Federal Assembly after nine months after entry into office, Medvedev proposed to be amended to the Constitution of the Russian Federation amendments to increase the term of presidential powers from four to six years, deputies of the State Duma - from four to five years, as well as the responsibility of the government to report annually to deputies . This was the first change in the Russian Constitution in all its fifteen-year-old history. In accordance with this norm in December 2011, elections were held in Russia in Russia, and in March 2012, the president.

The innovations also touched the Council of the Federation. Now the senator can be only a deputy, which is elected to the regional authorities and local self-government. The State Duma also adopted the laws prohibiting the heads of regions by the Presidents; Regions will have to bring their constitutions or statutes in line with adopted by law until January 1, 2015.

The last and very significant change in the main law of the country was the return of direct elections of the heads of the regions, which were canceled in 2004 - on the eve of Medvedev signed the relevant law, which he had previously made to discuss the parliament. In addition, the procedure for registering political parties was significantly simplified.

3. Punch for corruption

The fight against corruption was also one of the main theses of the Medvedev election campaign. About corruption as the main misfortune of Russia, severe illness, corrupting the national economy and decomposing Russian society, the president also spoke in inaugural speech, and in numerous interviews after taking office.

Two weeks after the inauguration, the head of state signed a decree on the establishment of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation to combat corruption. In July of the same year, he signed an anti-corruption plan, calculated for several years, and later the Parliament adopted the presidential package of bills aimed at fulfilling this plan.

As part of the opposition to corruption and improving the efficiency of Medvedev, Medvedev ordered civil servants and members of their families, as well as managers of state corporations and funds to provide information on income and property. Otherwise, they were waiting for dismissal. In addition, in March 2011, the head of state demanded the withdrawal of state officials from the Board of Directors of large state-owned companies and state banks, which was done by October.

According to Medvedev himself, despite the obvious successes in the fight against corruption, in particular the adoption of the first in the history of the country of anti-corruption rules, the fight against this kind of crime is far from completion, as it should take part in it all society, and not just a state.

4. Reform Silovikov

The task of opposing corruption was directly related to the need for a large-scale reform of law enforcement agencies, which was launched in 2010. A number of resonant incidents with the participation of law enforcement officers, the most loud of which was the shooting of visitors to the supermarket in Moscow, the head of the police department "Tsaritsyno" Major of Militia Denis Evsenukov, made the authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The reform of the largest ministry in the country received signs of the president at the initiative of the president - the police renamed the police. The new law tightened the requirements for receiving a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, delivered the ministry from a number of unusual functions to it and canceled the so-called "laughter" system of assessing the work of the internal affairs bodies. At the same time, the salary of employees were significantly increased, which were able to undergo itching.

In the same 2010, the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation was established, which was out of the subordination of the prosecutor's office. Then the president called it the first step towards creating a single and independent investigative body in the country, but so far the investigative structures of other departments (prosecutors, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSKN and the FSB) remain independent.

No less large-scale reform of the armed forces and a new state program of arms and modernization of the defense and industrial complex. In accordance with the Sun reform plan, by 2012 the number of the army decreased from 1.2 million servicemen to a million, of which 220 thousand are officers. In the structure of the Armed Forces there were military-cosmic defense troops. In addition, within the framework of reform, six military districts were transformed into four - West, East, Central and South. The monetary content of officers was significantly increased, military educational institutions were reorganized, the army moved to the outsourcing system (when the nutrition and other unusual functions take on civilian structures). In addition, the pace of construction of housing for military personnel and military service veterans was significantly accelerated.

An unprecedented arms program with a total volume of about 20 trillion rubles and calculated until 2020 was also called Medvedev one of the most important priorities in the field of defense capability. The program was adopted despite the objections of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, who because of disagreements with the president was resigned.

5.Wang and Mir

The main foreign policy event in the activities of Medvedev as the president was the war in August 2008 with Georgia, which began fighting in South Ossetia. As a result of Georgian aggression, civilians and Russian peacekeepers were killed. The President of the Russian Federation gave an order to introduce troops to South Ossetia and to carry out the operation "forced Georgia to the world." The result of a five-day operation was the destruction of the main objects of the military infrastructure of the Georgian army and the ships of the Martial Fleet of Georgia in the Poti port. On August 12, Medvedev announced the completion of the operation, stating that its goal was achieved - the safety of peacekeeping forces and the civilian population was restored, the aggressor was punished and suffered very significant losses. On the same day, in Moscow, the presidents of Russia and France agreed on the plan, called Medvedev-Sarkozy and providing for the diversion of Russian troops from the territory of Georgia and the security guarantees of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Two weeks later, on August 26, after the corresponding requests of Tskhinvali and Sukhumi, the President of Russia announced that Moscow recognizes the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Later on the territory of these countries, and unrecognized by the majority of the worlds of the world, Russian military bases were deployed. Georgia in response to it came out of the CIS and continues to insist on its territorial integrity and require the withdrawal of Russian military from South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

6. Treaty on START

The relations between Russia and the USA in the field of arms over the past four years have been not easy formed, but in April 2010 the heads of the two countries in Prague signed a new START Treaty, designed to become one of the foundations of the modern system of international security. The parties intend to reduce the total number of warheads for a third in seven years to 1.55 thousand - compared with the 2002 Moscow Treaty and more than twice the limiting level for strategic carriers. For entry into force, the contract was supposed to be approved by both chambers of the Russian parliament, as well as the US Congress Senate. The principal was the requirement of Russia on synchronous ratification of the document, and this was achieved.

7. Replacement of governors

The years of Medvedev's presidency in the field of internal politics were marked by the change of the overwhelming number of governors and heads of the regions, among which there were many political long-livers from the era of the 90s. So, only for 2010, the President of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev, his "Neighbor" from Bashkiria Murtaza Rakhimov and the head of Kalmykia Karisan Rakhimov and the head of Kalmykia Karisan Ilyumzhin were left. Another "heavyweight" Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov was sent to Medvedev to resign with the humiliating formulation "in connection with the loss of trust." The intensive replacement of the governors began after the December elections to the State Duma, according to the results of which the ruling "United Russia" weakened its position. Thus, over the past months, the heads of Primorsky, Perm, Stavropol Territory, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Yaroslavl, Smolensk, Kostroma, Saratov and a number of other areas took resignation.

8. Big Moscow

With the initiative of expanding the borders of the capital and the creation of the Moscow agglomeration, Medvedev spoke in June 2011 - opportunities for the development of the capital in the old borders, according to the president, were exhausted. The change in the borders of Moscow will occur on July 1, 2012 - the transition period declared before that time. As a result of expansion to the north-west, the capital will reach the border with the Kaluga region. In total, 21 municipality will go to the capital, including two urban districts - Troitsk and Shcherbinka, as well as 19 urban and rural settlements, which were part of Podolsky, Leninsky and Narofominsky districts of the Moscow region. Also, Moscow is part of the territory of Odintsovo and Krasnogorsk districts.

For two years, government agencies - the Federation and State Duma, federal executive authorities, as well as their territorial authorities, the Kremlin administration, the Government Office, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Investigation Committee, the Accounts Chamber, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Kremlin, will be moved to the territory The Federal Arbitration Court of the Moscow District, the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Judicial Department at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Moscow City Court, says the list of instructions.

To solve the task of the development of agglomeration with the help of the federal center to be the mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin and the recently approved governor of the Moscow region Sergey Shoigu.

9. Caucasian question

To solve the problems of the North Caucasus, in January 2010, Medvedev decided to create the eighth federal district, which included all of the North Caucasian regions, and to appoint a presidential presidential president of the Krasnoyarsk Region by Alexander Khloponin, who also received the post of Deputy Prime Minister. Khloponin became the only plenipotentiary and at the same time a member of the government, in the hands of which focused both the economic powers and the powers of the presidential vertical. Pyatigorsk became the center of the new district.

The head of state put the task of eradicating mass unemployment, crime on economic soil, clanism, bribery to eradicate its new proper. One of the key programs for the development of the SCFO should be the program for the creation of the North Caucasian tourist cluster. According to Khloponin, the government has already decided on the provision of state guarantees in the amount of 100 billion rubles in investors who invest in the development of the resorts of the North Caucasus.

10. Time belts

The most ambiguous reform of Medvedev as president of the status of the number of time zones in Russia and the change in the belt time in a number of regions. In June 2011, the president signed the law, according to which the seasonal translation of the clock arrows was canceled. Russians on the night of March 27, 2011, the last time passed the arrows of the clock for an hour ahead and moved to "summer time." However, the past year showed that the change of the already familiar regime is very ambiguously perceived by citizens of Russia, which gave rise to new discussions. The other day Medvedev said that it wasotov back to the previous model of translation for winter and summer time, if most support it, for example, electronic voting.

In St. Petersburg (Leningrad) and also graduated from the Leningrad State University (even the same faculty as Putin - legal). In young age Medvedevhe was a simple student who worked as a janitor, listened to "Deep Purple", but he studied well and had an increased scholarship in the amount of 50 rubles. In the mid-1990s, Medvedev, together with Vladimir Vladimirovich, worked at the St. Petersburg City Hall. Later the second President of Russia took him to himself in Moscow (along with Naryshkin, Ivanov and many other St. Petersburg colleagues), where Dmitry Anatolyevich became the head of the administration President, and a little later, the first deputy chairman Government of the Russian Federation.

May 7, 2008 Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, after convincing victory in the election, took office President of the Russian Federation. And his prime minister (the same as the chairman of the Russian government) became V.V. Putin . According to many political scientists, russian policy With such a permutation, it practically did not change, although the considerable number of citizens of the Russian Federation considers medvedev Presidency softer than putin's presidency.

Medvedev's domestic policy.

Internal policy Medvedev Began not the easiest time and decisions. The beginning of his presidency coincided with the beginning world Financial Crisis 2008. This crisis originated during the mortgage crisis in the United States of 2007, and then, against the background of unbalanced world trade between private enterprises and international corporations, the survey in world economic crisisWhich has affected almost all countries of the world, where international relations and trade are more or less developed.

Western and Eastern Europe, most Asia, Australia, North and South America were most affected. Already in May 2008, when Medvedev became the head by the country, the collaboration of quotations occurred on the Russian stock market. The first decisive anti-crisis measures were undertaken in budget and credit politics in August-October of the same year. However, in December, the fall in industrial production exceeded 10 percent.

During the second half of 2008 and the following, 2009, the year leading state economists, financiers and other experts worked in the sweat of the person, and by the end of 2009 the first positive results appeared anti-crisis program.

By March 2010, the World Bank published a report on the World Crisis, which said that the economic losses of the Russian Federation turned out to be much less than it was originally assumed, and the stock market of the country even played most of the losses from world crisis. Despite the fact that Russian external debt has grown by almost 14 percent, it turned out to be the most stable result compared to the rest of the world. For example, in Europe, the external debt rose to 90% of the pan-European GDP ( European Union), in the United States, external debt exceeded 100% of GDP, and in Japan, it generally reached almost 220%.

Despite the problems associated with economic the crisis of RussiaMedvedev continued an active internal policy. The President increased lending to Russian banks, which significantly hardening the country's financial system and did not allow panic among the population. A number of reforms in the field of private entrepreneurship (cancellation of certain restrictions, simplifying taxation and order of registration) did not give a small busine.

Many reforms passed in the social sphere. It was increased maternal capital (State allowance for a child introduced by Putin) on the second and third child, which allowed the demographic indicator not to approach the negative mark. At the same time, the size of pensions, social benefits and wages of state employees rose 2-2.5 times. One and a half million Russians received new housing, and another million Russian citizens - improved their housing conditions (mainly due to the same new maternal capital).
