The correspondent of the Russian service Bi-bi-si Peter Kozlov managed to capture the moment of the last preparations for the appearance of the elected president in the palace.

The ceremony began with the introduction of symbols of presidential power into the palace - the standard and the sign of the president. A special copy of the 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation, bound in monitor lizard skin, lost its official status as a symbol of presidential power in 2000, but it is still the text on which the text of the presidential oath is pronounced.

The elected president was waiting for his release in the office. After receiving a call from the secretariat, he rose from his seat, put on his jacket, which was hanging on the back of his chair, and went to the ceremony. Passing through the long corridors of the Kremlin, Putin viewed paintings hanging on the walls.

Not only was it used for the first time during the inauguration, but it was also shown to the public for the first time.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed decree on the resignation of the cabinet of Dmitry Medvedev. Previously, the government resigned as required by the constitution after the presidential inauguration. It is expected that on Tuesday, May 8, the State Duma will consider the candidacy of Prime Minister put forward by Putin - experts believe that it will again be Medvedev.

On Monday, the candidate for premiere will hold consultations with parliamentary factions, Interfax writes, in turn, without naming Medvedev. In 2012, his name sounded less than two hours after Putin’s inauguration, the agency reminds.

Most likely, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov will leave the government, Dozhd reported and sources from the BBC Russian Service confirmed. RBC reported that Deputy Prime Minister for Social Affairs Olga Golodets could be replaced by the Chairman of the Accounts Chamber, Tatyana Golikova, who already worked in this position in the government.

How large-scale the update will be is still unknown, but the names of other ministers who may leave the cabinet have also been announced - for example, Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky.

Late the night before, Putin met with the government and praised its work. In particular, he was quite satisfied with the way Medvedev’s cabinet dealt with the “May decrees” signed by Putin shortly after the third inauguration.

The topic of personnel appointments was not raised at the meeting, said Nikolay Nikiforov, Minister of Communications, before the inauguration.
