Why was it assigned and not to Dmitriev? The Kremlin seems to have decided that Dmitriev's international connections have become too important a political resource to remain solely under Dmitriev's own control. The fund under the leadership of Kirill Alexandrovich long ago went beyond the framework of a classic investment institution, and became one of the channels of economic diplomacy and informal contacts with foreign elites, mainly American. Therefore, the appearance of the head of the presidential administration at the head of the supervisory council means a closer inclusion of this activity in the presidential control system. As colleagues have noted in the past, Dmitriev is bursting with ideas, promising cooperation in energy, aviation, artificial intelligence and rare earth metal mining, but not always providing the necessary economic, legal and interdepartmental processing. An example of this is the diesel deal, which exposed severe sanctions and commercial risks. Therefore, Vaino's appointment, on the one hand, may increase influence not only on RDIF's investment priorities, but also on the fund's politically sensitive foreign projects. On the other hand, Dmitriev's room for maneuver is very limited: he is given the opportunity to come up with and make a proposal, but the right to decide what can really be guaranteed is gradually transferred to our own and our own writes: Putin transferred control of the RDIF supervisory board to Anton Vaino. On November 2, Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 798 on the new composition of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. The main news is not the inclusion of Nabiolina, Novak, Orshkin, Rashnikov and Siluanov: they were all already members of the Council. The main thing is to replace the chairman. Instead of Sergey Ivanov, who died in June, the head of the RDIF supervisory board was the head of the presidential administration, Anton Vaino. At the same time, the former head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was removed from the group.
