One of the key information systems developed by the state over the past 8 years - the unified ESIA identification and authentication system - will cover all Runet users in the foreseeable future, enrich itself with many new functions that are useful to businesses and citizens, and then, quite likely, will cease to exist. In the era of crypto-anarchy, when all blockchain-managed transactions become public and anonymous, not only the approach to identification-authentication, but also the role of the state in regulating economic relations will fundamentally change. TAdviser spoke about this scenario in March 2018 with Russian Deputy Minister of Communications Alexei Kozyrev.

Leaving the post of Deputy Minister of Communications

On June 28, 2018, TAdviser sources announced the upcoming resignation of Kozyrev. He himself confirmed to TAdviser his dismissal from July 9 - his statement has already been signed by the Minister of Communications Konstantin Noskov.

Speaking about the plans, Alexey Kozyrev told TAdviser that he intends to remain in the topic of the digital economy, but on the side of the public sector or business - he has not yet decided and is considering various proposals.

Under the leadership of Kozyrev, e-government services have become convenient and massive. According to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, in 2017 the number of registered users of public services portalps increased by 25 million and amounted to 65 million. In total, since 2012, the number of portal users has increased almost 20 times.

Information about a possible return to the civil service

Applicant for the post of Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education

On August 1, two sources told TAdviser that Alexei Kozyrev could be appointed Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. His candidacy for this post, according to TAdviser interlocutors, was approved by Minister Mikhail Kotyukov, after which it was expected to submit a candidacy to the government - deputy ministers are appointed by order of the Prime Minister.

Kozyrev's tasks could be divided into two parts, sources believed:

• firstly, digitalization of the main functions of the Ministry itself for the management of universities and scientific organizations (including the development of a register of works with codification and access, a system for distributing grants and subsidies, tracking projects by research and development);

• secondly, the participation of the ministry in the Digital Economy program, in particular, in measures to stimulate the development of competencies and technological groundwork on the basis of scientific organizations and universities.

Marianna Khartsiy, shortly before that appointed director of the IT department of the Ministry of Science, in the staffing order could be subordinate to Alexei Kozyrev. But the sources were sure that in fact it would be difficult for Hartius and Kozyrev to work together, given the "iron" character of Hartius.

Alexey Kozyrev himself did not answer the TAdviser question about the prospects for appointment to the Ministry of Science. In the fall of 2018, TAdviser sources said that Kozyrev's candidacy was withdrawn from consideration.

Applicant for the post of deputy head of the Pension Fund of Russia

On November 6, 2018, two TAdviser sources reported that the candidacy of Alexei Kozyrev was being considered for appointment as deputy head of the Russian Pension Fund.

Alexey Kozyrev is considered as a candidate for the post of deputy head of the FIU

According to one of TAdviser's interlocutors, Kozyrev may replace Alexei Ivanov , the deputy head of the FIU in charge of IT, who has held this post since April 2017.

One of the priority IT projects of the fund is the creation of a unified state information system for social security (EGISSO).

When the EGISSO is launched, all subjects of power, regional and federal, will be able to see a real comprehensive picture of the provision of social services. Who provides what, what categories, where there is a duplication of support measures between the federal and regional levels, and who, on the contrary, no longer needs support, but it still turns out, said earlier the chairman of the FIU Anton Drozdov.

The effect of the introduction of EGISSO, according to Drozdov's estimates, should be about 300 billion rubles a year, which is about 7-8% of the cost of social support for budgets of all levels.
