2021: The expert council under the Government of the Russian Federation includes the heads of Rostelecom and Yandex

In December 2021, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving the provision on the Expert Council under the Government of the Russian Federation. It included 23 people, including Yandex CEO Elena Bunina and Rostelecom President Mikhail Oseevsky.

According to the document, the council is an advisory body that is created to ensure interaction with the expert community. The curator of the body's work has been determined by the deputy chairman of the government - the head of the government apparatus (by the end of December 2021, this is Dmitry Grigorenko).

The Council was headed by the former rector of the Higher School of Economics Yaroslav Kuzminov. In November 2021, he asked to give the council the right of an information initiative - the right to initiate data collection and surveys. Mikhail Mishustin said at the same time that the Russian Government expects to continue working with experts on strategic initiatives for socio-economic development.

The main tasks of the Expert Council are to ensure the participation of the expert community in the preparation and implementation of decisions of the authorities, as well as ensuring public control over the activities of federal authorities. This is an advisory body, its decisions are advisory in nature. Members of the expert council carry out their activities on a voluntary basis.

In March 2021, a department of expertise and planning appeared in the structure of the government apparatus, headed by Vitaly Zlobin. As stated in the Cabinet, the department should "bring work with experts, industry associations, legislative bodies and the public to a qualitatively new level." Kommersant noted that in this way the government expects to reboot the system of work with the public, business and lawmakers, and the expert council, presumably, will become one of the main tools of work.[1][2]
