Scandals, rumors
They say about the minister that he says little, but his word is worth a lot. Administration of Mordovia For example, Anton Siluanov’s word was worth 5 and a half billion rubles.
Here is how it was. In June 2011, Anton Siluanov participated in a visiting meeting led by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, at which the Mordovian authorities asked for another 5.5 billion in addition to the 28 billion received to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the unity of the Mordovian people with the peoples of the Russian state.
As usual, Anton Siluanov quietly listened to all the speakers until Vladimir Putin addressed him directly: “What will the Ministry of Finance say?” " According to our calculations, this is already the most expensive project in Russia, more expensive than the 1000th anniversary of Kazan", answered Anton Siluanov and thereby deprived the Mordovian authorities of the coveted 5 billion.
And at the January conference call, the same one during which Vladimir Putin attacked the governor of the Kirov region, another scandal arose, unnoticed by the press, and it was again caused by the “quiet” Anton Siluanov.
He presented a damning analysis of regional budgets, after which, as they say, the governors of several regions began to pack their bags just in case. But here, as they say, it’s nothing personal: the minister hits not with words, but with numbers.
Siluanov, like his predecessor, also opposes expanding the military budget, which is what got Alexei Kudrin burned. True, he is not so categorical in his statements.
Anton Siluanov has already opposed increasing taxes in the near future and continued to follow Kudrin’s line: do not increase budget expenditures without increasing revenues. It will not be easy to fulfill both points: before elections, it is especially difficult for the authorities to resist the temptation to “gift” voters.
In mid-2014, the Minister of Finance shocked the public with a statement that the government did not have the funds to return NPF savings for 2014.
243 billion rubles taken from the pension system were allegedly used to cover Crimea budget deficit, as well as other investment projects. And he explained that the return of already spent funds to the non-state pension fund system will require optimization, that is, budget cuts, and may also have a negative impact on Russian business and spur inflation.
This is despite the fact that Siluanov himself personally appealed to the government leadership in April with a request to send money from the NPF to help Crimea and Sevastopol:
"We have a reserve of 243 billion rubles. Therefore, we will appeal to the country’s leadership in order to allow it to be sent to support Crimea".
Siluanov had a heated argument with the Minister of Economic Development regarding the possibility of returning or non-returning part of the money spent in the NPF. Ulyukaev. They argued almost to the point of fighting.
But the story of improving economic affairs at the expense of pensioners still has not ended; the bureaucratic tops are still mulling over whether they should take more money from resigned pensioners.

Siluanov worked in the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR until January 1992, when, after the collapse of the USSR, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the RSFSR was formed by merging the department and the Ministry of Economy of the RSFSR. In the new department, in February 1992, he took the position of deputy head of the department. In the same month, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the RSFSR was divided into two departments: the Ministry of Economy of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. Siluanov remained to work at the Ministry of Finance and in the period until October 1997, according to his official biography, he went from deputy head of the budget management department, deputy head of the budget department to head of the department, head of the budget department of the department.

In May 2004, a reorganization took place in the Ministry of Finance, as a result of which Siluanov left the post of deputy minister and became director of the department of interbudgetary relations. In December 2005, the official again became Kudrin’s deputy: he was entrusted with overseeing issues of regional activities of the Ministry of Finance, , , . In the same month, Siluanov was included in the government commission on issues of the fuel and energy complex and reproduction of the mineral resource base, headed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov.

Siluanov was also repeatedly mentioned in the press in connection with the program to support single-industry towns (curtailed in the fall of 2010).
It was noted that Siluanov’s specialization—interbudgetary relations—was very narrow, so he was known only to “a few specialists.” According to some reports, during Kudrin’s last vacation in August 2011, the duties of the minister were performed by his deputies Tatyana Nesterenko and Alexey Lavrov, but the press also published information that Siluanov was entrusted with replacing the head of the Ministry of Finance.
On September 26, 2011, Kudrin, who since 2000 had combined the positions of Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister, was dismissed after his statement about disagreements between him and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev regarding the financial policy of the state (for example, Kudrin insisted on reducing the military expenses) , .

Commenting on Siluanov’s promotion, Kudrin noted in an interview with the Vedomosti newspaper that his former deputy is “a career financier who grew up in the Ministry of Finance.” Siluanov himself, after his appointment, emphasized that in the future the policy of the Ministry of Finance will not change and that he, like Kudrin, “sees the main task in reducing the risks of budget failure.” At the same time, he did not question the need to maintain the country's military spending. In turn, experts, commenting on the arrival of Siluanov, called him a good specialist, but a “temporary figure,” meaning that he lacks political weight.

Anton Germanovich Siluanov was born on April 12, 1963 in Moscow. His father German Siluanov worked in the Ministry of Finance of the USSR, and later in the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation (for example, in 1996 he served as deputy of the department of credit and monetary circulation).
In 1985, Anton Siluanov graduated from the Moscow Financial Institute (later the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation) with a degree in finance and credit, after which he began working as an economist and then as a senior economist at the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR. In 1987, Siluanov was called up for military service in the Soviet army. In 1989, he returned to the Ministry of Finance, taking the position of leading economist, and later was an economist of the 1st category, deputy head of a department and consultant.
Siluanov worked in the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR until January 1992, when, after the collapse of the USSR, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the RSFSR was formed by merging the department and the Ministry of Economy of the RSFSR. In the new department, in February 1992, he took the position of deputy head of the department. In the same month, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the RSFSR was divided into two departments: the Ministry of Economy of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. Siluanov remained working at the Ministry of Finance and in the period until October 1997, according to his official biography, he went from deputy head of the budget management department, deputy head of the budget department to head of the department, head of the budget department of the department.
In 1994, Siluanov defended his dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Economic Sciences. The topic of his dissertation was “State budget policy in the context of the transition to market relations. Using the example of the Russian Federation.”
In October 1997, Siluanov headed the department of macroeconomic policy and banking activities of the Ministry of Finance (the department was formed as a result of the merger of the department of macroeconomic policy and the department of credit and monetary circulation, which began in October 1996).
In March 2001, Siluanov joined the board of the Ministry of Finance. In July 2003, he became Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, and subsequently oversaw issues related to inter-budgetary relations (relations between the budgets of different federal subjects) and macroeconomic policy. A few months later, in October 2003, Siluanov became a member of the Russian government commission for solving the problems of closed administrative-territorial entities. The chairman of the commission, which existed until April 2004, was Deputy Prime Minister Boris Aleshin.
In May 2004, a reorganization took place in the Ministry of Finance, as a result of which Siluanov left the post of deputy minister and became director of the department of interbudgetary relations. In December 2005, the official again became Kudrin’s deputy: he was entrusted with overseeing the regional activities of the Ministry of Finance. In the same month, Siluanov was included in the government commission on issues of the fuel and energy complex and reproduction of the mineral resource base, headed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. Siluanov remained a member of the commission until 2008.
During his work at the Ministry of Finance, Siluanov served on the boards of directors and supervisory boards of various banks and state corporations. Thus, in 1999 he became a member of the board of directors of the Russian Credit bank, in 2000 - a member of the supervisory board of Rosselkhozbank, in 2002 he was included in the board of directors of the state corporation "Agency for Restructuring Credit Institutions" (ACRO), and in January 2004 year - the board of directors of the state corporation "Deposit Insurance Agency". In 2004 and 2008, Siluanov was a member of the supervisory board of Vneshtorgbank (in 2009 he was not listed as a board member). In addition, in November 2007, Siluanov became a member of the supervisory board of the state corporation “Fund for Assistance to the Reform of Housing and Public Utilities,” and in April 2009, the board of directors of OJSC UralVagonZavod. Siluanov was also repeatedly mentioned in the press in connection with the program to support single-industry towns (ended in the fall of 2010.
Best of the day
It was noted that Siluanov's specialization - inter-budgetary relations - was very narrow, so he was known only to "a few specialists." According to some reports, during Kudrin’s last vacation in August 2011, his deputies Tatyana Nesterenko and Alexey Lavrov performed the duties of minister, but the press also published information that Siluanov was entrusted with replacing the head of the Ministry of Finance.
On September 26, 2011, Kudrin, who since 2000 had combined the positions of Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister, was dismissed after his statement about disagreements between him and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev regarding the financial policy of the state (for example, Kudrin insisted on reducing the military expenses). On September 27, 2011, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin divided Kudrin’s responsibilities between First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov (he began to oversee the economic bloc in the government) and Siluanov, who was appointed acting Minister of Finance. At the same time, Putin emphasized that the decision to appoint Siluanov was agreed upon with President Medvedev. On September 29, it became known that Siluanov would also replace Kudrin on the anti-crisis council of the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC) and as Russia’s governor at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. In November 2011, he replaced the ex-Minister of Finance and in other positions - government representative on the National Banking Council (NBC; in December 2011 he also became chairman of this body), the board of directors of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) and the supervisory board of Vnesheconombank (VEB) ).
