Travnikov Deputy Minister of Justice. Fine tuning

And the government apparatus is from the administration

As it became known to Kommersant, Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov may take the post of head of the president's department to ensure the constitutional rights of citizens. The expert says that the department is not among the most influential in the presidential administration (AP), but for Mr. Travnikov this is an increase. The current head of the department, Dmitry Zhuikov, can go to work in the government apparatus, sources say to Kommersant.

The presidential decree on the appointment of a new head of the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens should appear in the near future. On June 22, Vladimir Putin signed a decree appointing the heads of divisions of his administration. All of them, except for the head of the department for ensuring the activities of the State Council, Mikhail Bryukhanov, and the head of the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens, Dmitry Zhuikov, were reappointed. Mr. Bryukhanov was appointed deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo on the same day; Mr. Zhuikov's career prospects were not reported. One of Kommersant's sources draws attention to the fact that after the May reshuffle the presidential aide Yevgeny Shkolov left the administration.

Mr. Zhuikov has headed the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens since 2004. Prior to that - since 1997 - he worked as an assistant to the head of the Presidential Administration. Several of Kommersant's interlocutors say at once that he can go to work in the government apparatus.

Sources of Kommersant in state structures say that Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov will become Dmitry Zhuikov's replacement. He has already passed the required test. The transfer of Mr. Travnikov to the Presidential Administration was confirmed by a high-ranking source of Kommersant in the Ministry of Justice.

According to him, the issues that Mr. Travnikov will be in charge of in the Presidential Administration are also familiar to him from his work in the department - he developed extradition agreements, dealt with the topic of pardons, dealt with the transfer of convicts and issues of citizenship.

He began his career with work in the legal department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, when the department was headed by Yevgeny Primakov. He worked in the permanent representation of the Russian Federation at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, in 2003 he moved to the Kremlin - to the office of the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration Dmitry Kozak. In the same year, Mr. Kozak, on behalf of Vladimir Putin, began work on a plan for the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, providing for the federalization of Moldova. Maxim Travnikov, together with Dmitry Kozak, participated in negotiations with the Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities. In November 2003, the document, later known as the "Kozak memorandum," was agreed upon. Vladimir Putin was preparing to fly to Chisinau to sign it, but just before the visit, then-President of Moldova Vladimir Voronin refused to sign the plan. The arrival of the Russian leader was disrupted, and relations between Chisinau and Moscow were spoiled for a long time.

At the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Travnikov oversaw the Department of International Law, which has acquired strategic importance in the face of sanctions and the diplomatic crisis. The powers of the department and, accordingly, the deputy minister in charge of this direction were strengthened on May 28 by Vladimir Putin, who signed amendments to the regulation on the ministry. The Ministry of Justice began to officially ensure the representation and protection of the interests of the Russian Federation in the courts of foreign states (previously, the department was endowed with such powers only in relation to the ECHR). No less resonant in the activities of the international department of the Ministry of Justice turned out to be the long-term confrontation between the department and the tax authorities of Kazakhstan on the application of the apostille, which were taken hostage by many, including the largest Russian companies operating in Kazakhstan, and the arbitration courts of the Russian Federation, which had to "stamp" decisions on the responsibility of the department to provide this public service.

Pavel Krasheninnikov, head of the Duma Committee on Legislation, says that "Mr. Travnikov is a competent person who knows not only Russian, but also foreign and international law." Political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko emphasizes that "Mr. Travnikov has long been one of the promising figures, since 2009 in the president's personnel reserve." The department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens is not among the most influential, but such an appointment for an official is an increase, especially since the functions of departments can change, the political scientist believes.
