Former Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Maxim Akimov, in an interview with RBC Radio, told how representatives of various departments solved official issues in the corridors of the Government House, waiting for the meetings to begin. According to him, the corridors in front of the reception areas actually replaced open work spaces for officials. There the representatives of the departments discussed work issues, argued and found compromises without separate meetings. “The best open space is, you know, the corridors in front of the reception areas. During our time, a huge number of official issues between departments were resolved while waiting for a meeting, when people simply stood and not only told how they spent the vacation, but first of all discussed their official matters, argued, swore, but reached some kind of compromise," said the former prime minister.
