Maxim Oreshkin, minister of economic development. Vlad is possibly trying to prepare a russian version of Macron after he leaves.

>Last month, Putin also named Oreshkin to replace Finance Minister Anton Siluanov as Russia’s representative at The World Bank Group’s agencies. Even his presence at the G-20 meeting shows he’s unafraid to elbow his way in: Oreshkin himself asked the president to join the delegation, according to two of the officials. The minister declined to comment on that.
>His most recent initiative is to get his ministry a leading role in overseeing the development of the “digital economy,” an area that Putin has singled out as crucial to Russia’s future.
>For Oreshkin, the job could be a springboard, according to Yasin, who’s currently an academic adviser at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, the young minister’s alma mater.
>“He can become prime minister at some point in the future,” Yasin said. “He’s still very young.”
