Source of Cheka-OGPU and Criminal.infom on the "war" that has been going on for many years between Russian Presidential Administration Deputy Head Sergei Kiriyenko and State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin: "To say they dislike each other is an understatement. It all started with Kiriyenko replacing Volodin as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian Presidential Administration and becoming the curator of domestic policy. He thought that under Volodin the work was not done properly and changed all the operational factors. Also, all of Volodin's team was purged at the time, RFAP people, political experts, everyone, etc., were completely removed from the financial trough, etc. In fact, Volodin himself did the exact same thing to Surkov. The situation developed and continues to remain such that Kiriyenko easily influences all processes within the parties. But inside the State Duma, everything is already influenced exclusively by Volodin. And there is constant "cherry-picking". It is clear that when it comes to some global bills, there are no disagreements and there cannot be. But Volodin can easily "sink" amendments, with the phrasing "there is a lot of Kiriyenko here." But if there is any "selfishness" from the Russian Presidential Administration, then Volodin can reject it completely. He can push a deputy promoted by Kiriyenko into the State Duma. In turn, Kiriyenko can "push" people within the parties who, in turn, are close to Volodin, etc. etc. It is such a constant process of biting each other. Sometimes this leads to some kind of local attacks in the media and Telegram channels. But not often. At some point, "hot heads" in the Presidential Administration persuaded Kiriyenko to start a full-scale, "hot" war with Volodin on all fronts. But Kiriyenko forbade doing so. Putin, of course, is aware of this situation, but he is completely satisfied with it. Volodin and Kiriyenko have not yet gone too far in their conflict."
