How Russia wants to support the domestic economy

Riga Visibly satisfied, Denis Manturov glances at his note for a moment, then thanks the members of the Russian State Duma for their trust. Parliament has just confirmed that Manturov will from now on hold the position of deputy prime minister in addition to his work as industry and trade minister. A definite rise.

The extraordinary session is unusual because the MPs were actually on their summer break. But “a series of questions that urgently require solutions,” as the State Duma said in advance, brought the representatives of the various factions together in Moscow despite the break. Manturov’s personnel are not the only ones that offer insights into the question of how Russia intends to support its economy in view of the sanctions imposed for its war of aggression in Ukraine.
