History

2023

From January 1, all State Duma deputies will be transferred to Russian cars

From January 1, 2024, all deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation will begin to be transplanted into Russian cars. This is stated in a letter from the head of the State Duma apparatus Igor Diveikin, in which, with reference to the decision of the State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. This document was sent to the executive authorities of the Russian regions in the fall of 2023.

Speaker Volodin announced his intention to transfer employees of all budgetary institutions and authorities to Russian cars back in July 2023. As priority options for replacing foreign brands, he called Lada and Moskvich cars. Later, Russian departments also joined the initiative. Thus, the deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Viktor Yevtukhov said that a special unit will be engaged in the implementation of the transition of ministry employees to domestic cars.

Two State Duma deputies explained to Vedomosti that the lower house of parliament does not dispose of the fleet in the regions: the administrations are responsible for it. In some regions, Russian cars are extremely difficult to find. The State Duma only pays for gasoline and maintenance of the regional fleet during the use of it by parliamentarians, which is enshrined in the law on the status of a senator and a State Duma deputy. According to one of the interlocutors of the newspaper, cars manufactured earlier at Russian factories before the departure of Western companies from Russia may also be among the domestic cars.

In October 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade prepared recommendations on the priority use of domestic cars by civil servants, as well as State Duma deputies. The list of recommended machines includes models with a Russian VIN number, which are produced in Russia as part of special investment contracts. In total, the "Russian" includes six brands: Lada, UAZ, Moskvich, Aurus, Evolute and Haval. As new Russian-made models enter the market, the list of models will be replenished.[1]

By November 2023, Russia has a concept for the development of electronic document management in economic activities. According to the document, by the end of 2024, 95% of invoices (except those classified as state secrets) and 70% of transport and consignment notes should be transferred to electronic form. The phased implementation of the concept will also make it possible to increase the number of electronic documents by at least 20% annually starting from 2022.

As Daniil Egorov, head of the Federal Tax Service (FTS), noted earlier in 2023, Russia should strive not so much to switch from paper to electronic document management as to data exchange. According to him, now economic agents are rather trying to imitate the traditional "paper life" in electronic[2]
