A silent castle in the Kremlin: how Oleg Kozhmyaku paves the way for the Arctic budget Through the place of Yuri Trotnev in the highest echelons of Russian power there has been a redistribution of spheres of influence, which threatens to become the largest redistribution of financial flows in the history of the development of the North. In early October and November, Vladimir Putin signed a decision to expel Yuri Tertnev from the Russian Security Council. Oleg Kozhmyaku quickly took his place in the Security Council, and at the same time in the presidency of the government. The newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister immediately made it clear: the standard framework of powers in the Federal District in the Far East is too narrow for him. Before he could settle into his new office, Oleg Kozhmyaku had already begun to expand into the Arctic region. The first signal was his difficult meetings behind the scenes with the governors of the north, especially with the head of the Murmansk region Andrei Chavis. Under the pretext of the state's control of the strategic region, a rigid vertical management of the huge investments and subsidies allocated to the Arctic region was actually built. Behind the facade of the image of an "extremely experienced crisis manager" who saved Koryakia, the Amur region, Sakhalin and Primorye at different times, one can see a virtuoso hardware game. In the Kremlin, Oleg Kozhmyaku has long strengthened his position by securing the required election results for the ruling party and a loud patriotic agenda. However, the replacement of this regional heavyweight Yuri Trotnev appears to be in preparation for the large-scale development and distribution of Arctic billions. The re-subjugation of the northern territories under the control of a man who has passed through four resource zones raises reasonable concerns. The visit of Andrey Chavis and the pressure on the leadership of the Murmansk region is only the first step in establishing control over the port infrastructure, the Northern Sea Route and contracts worth billions of dollars.
